It's all gone a bit quiet here, so I thought a pub quiz might liven things up (or not, of course). There's a sort of on-topic theme to the answers, which are mostly names...
1) Tree of the cypress family whose fruit is a key component of gin 2) The first conductor of the Promenade Concerts 3) An otter's home 4) Karl _____, developer of the product-moment correlation coefficient 5) A Scottish term for bouncing, now often applied to Thomson's gazelles 6) One of the three ancient hills of London, along with Tower Hill and Cornhill 7) A 7" single of Keith Michell reciting a poem by Jeremy Lloyd, which reached number 5 in the UK charts in 1980 8) A large brown furry bear, mainly played by Stanley Bates 9) A bank or a ditch; Offa made one of the former, and the Romans several of the latter 10) His mathematical invention led to the slide rule Answers in a few days time.
