AnswersAnswers
  1. It's tickets to Sir Paul's one-off gig. Meanwhile, demand is so high for Michael Jackson's gigs the site crashed on Tuesday. No models have yet been injured after falling from perilously high on-trend heels. And rivals Sir Alex and Jose Mourinho managed a brief clinch after their Champions League clash on Wednesday.
  2. It's Michael Bloomberg. He's 17th on the list headed by Gates, with Walton 12th and Abraovich a lowly 51st. Thursday's list showed a fall in the number of billionaires from 1,125 to 793 - on average they have lost 23% of their wealth.
  3. It's a liquid, typically medicine dissolved in alcohol. Duchy Originals is selling its artichoke and dandelion mix to "aid digestion" - for the princely sum of £10 for a 50ml bottle.
  4. It's "into" - on Sunday guards in the US state of Georgia found the prisoner trying to sneak back in with 14 packs of cigarettes.
  5. It's the UK, projected to be home to 72m in 2050 - mainly as a result of net migration. Germany's population is expected to fall to 71m and France's to climb to 68m, said the UN Population Division on Wednesday.
  6. It's Efbe's Hidalgo at Goodspice. Jafrak Philippe Olivier - a Giant Schnauzer - was last year's winner, and Garde Champetre, along with stablemate Witchita Lineman, was a winner this week at the Cheltenham Festival.
  7. It's plan for future events. Reports on Monday outlined how Santino the chimp would collect stones each morning before the zoo gates opened, and stashed the missiles around his enclosure to hurl at visitors.
