I'm guessing 17. might be the Daily Mail given it has had a long history of appealing to female readers.

Unless you are from Brizzle Title: Re: Quiz (delayed from Friday as I wasn't in the office) Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, September 1, 2014, 14:59:37 I was thinking "pas de deux" but I'm no expert. And accents aren't silly. Think OT must be :gay: I only know 2 ballet terms, pas de deux and plie (silly accent on the e) Pas de deux, sort of involves 2 dancers, hence the name, and plie, is a kind of knees bend wavy thing.
