Fresh from being annoyed with Paul Weller at the weekend after he declined to play more than a couple of songs by the Jam that the whole of Wembley Stadium would have happily sung along with before Blur, here is the Thursday quiz. Fifteen questions on topical news, general knowledge, and absurdly random trivia. There are no prizes, although thanks to user0 we now seem to have a monthly officially unofficial league table.

Victoria Conlan was a friend and former colleague of the quiz master at the BBC in the early 2000s, and she regularly posted her Thursday quiz score – and witty analysis – on Facebook. She died after a short illness. A partner, mother, sister and much more, Victoria was an absolute force of nature. She leaves behind family and friends who are stunned to have lost her so unexpectedly and suddenly, and who will miss her very much indeed. They are fundraising for Amyloidosis research. Rest well, Victoria.
