It's back. My stupidly hard Xmas work quiz is live. As per usual I've done round one and now I'm stuck on the answer for round 2.

I've actually identified all the pictures, found the clue but the answer isn't working 😭

Sorry for crappy pictures but if you use the first letter of each of the album names it spells out "album ones singers" so I thought it must be the singers on the Arctic Monkeys album 'AM'....but whichever way I put the names in it doesn't work.

Then I thought as the clue at the top is "Artistless" maybe I had to remove Alex Turner (as Turner is a famous artist) but I'm still striking out!

As always, any help appreciated & if I've missed any of the amazing quizzers who usually play along (I know I have) please feel free to tag them

We have to wait til the morning to find out as the OP has abandoned us 🙁

Ooh so glad this is back (name changed since last year). Very clear memory of being on a Christmas deadline and giving up far too much of an afternoon to this 😂

Doing badly so far but following along in the hope of improving!

Morning all!

HY is a no

Remaster is correct!

'nother puzzle

Yay, I'm so happy you're back @ApocalypseNowt with your ridiculously hard annual Xmas quiz.

Thank you for tagging me in.

I'm really shit at this, but I love doing it every year. 😁

Will have a look at the questions later.

Hamza Yassin is definitely the right person. It even fits the (5,6) in the title 🤔

Double checked the spelling and it's still not liking it

I can’t think of anything other than Hamza Yassin for the XX question - but not sure how the XX fits?

I know! That one's really bugging me

Possibly might be JP for his Strictly dance partner?

It can't be his partner (female so XX chromosomes 😂) as her name has too many letters (Jowita Przystał)

Jowita’s name doesn’t fit the 5,6 though.

I checked to see if Hamza was a nickname or something but apparently not.

Could they (gasp) have made a typo?

I've got nothing for "not just for Christmas". Tried to find famous people with the surname Santa as all the initials on the left end with S but no luck. Thought the initials might be what they're famous for.

couldn't think of anything dog related (a dog is for life...)

Tried jowita in case but nope

I always end up thinking this at some point but they never have. If we still haven't got it once we've done all the other puzzles in this round I'll ask the quizmaster!

Yeah, I fully expect it's us being stupid rather than them having made a mistake 😂😂

Ellie Taylor is (5,6). The only other one in the line up. She got nowhere near the final though.

Two more to be going on with

Tried that in desperation lol

Trying to think what things are not just for Christmas other than the dog slogan 🤔

Hamza Yassin full name is Hamza Ahmed Yassin.

So, could it be Ahmed Yassin? (5,6)

I think I may be clutching at straws

something winner? Winner is 6. Strictly is not 5 though 😂
