There was a lot of preamble and pre-meetings and working meals and photo shoots.</li><li>All military personnel will get 2.8% pay rise - higher in percentage terms than the 2.33% rise MPs got on Monday, but far less in actual money as their wages are much lower. Teachers, meanwhile, will get a 2.3% rise in September, and senior civil servants a 1.5% rise next year.</li><li>It's "dumb". On Sunday a man was arrested after an attempted robbery at a Pennsylvania hotel. He'd tried to relieve a guest of his wallet and phone - but the guest was one of 300 police officers there for a conference.</li><li>It's the prison camp. Venezuelan beauty queen Dayana Mendoza's blog post on the Miss Universe site also said it was a "relaxing, calm, beautiful place". It's now been replaced with a statement saying she meant the hospitality she received there.</li><li>It's the original French version of the Black Lace song Agadoo - voted the "worst song of all time" - which is to be re-released. The French version was recorded in 1971.</li><li>It's Phillip "This Morning" Schofield, who turned 47 on Wednesday. Piers is three years younger.</li></ol> Your Score 0 - 3 : Pier pressured 4 - 6 : More-gan three man 7 - 7 : Had your Phil For a complete archive of past quizzes and our weekly news quiz, 7 days 7 questions, visit the <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/default.stm" >Magazine page</a> and scroll down.
