The Winner of last weeks quiz, Will, has got the honour of picking a theme for the next quiz. He has come up with something pretty relevant to the New Year, and that is the theme of Beginnings and Firsts. So next weeks quiz is going to be based around that sort of theme. So brush up on your first knowledge with questions like "Who was the first man to swim the English Channel?". Although, I probably won't do that one as we all know it was Captain Webb.

My only problem is the second part of the section. I have no clue why the chin is the odd man (or woman) out. Is it because Julie Andrews and Dick van Dyke were in a musical together and John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John were in a musical together and poor sad Catherine has no partner. :o)

Zeta-Jones is the only one not married to an old person...oh, wait, that's not right. She is the only one not in a movie with someone else on the list. She was the only one to win an oscar for the role, no Julie Andrews won also. She was the only one in a Best Picture Winner (Chicago). She's smoking hot!, no that's not it, Newton John and Andrews were in their day too. Oh well, next section
