Quiz to pass some time

Bit of a quiz, perhaps unbalanced era wise, because I remember sod all about the last 15 or 20 years :roll_eyes:
Most of the answers are easily gettable from a bit of googling I suppose, but have a go without that (pretend it’s still the olden days, like I do all the time :smile:) and I’ll post the answers if needed in a day or two. Just to hopefully pass a little time for some of you.
