Long puzzles/ quizzes for Xmas?

Does anyone have any links to puzzles I can print to keep the adults of the house occupied over christmas? Last year, we had a cooking quiz printed out which had cryptic clues to various festive dishes and it took us most of the xmas hols to solve them all. I'd love something similar - I especially love the sort that give you initials (i.e. 1 Pin PT = 1 partridge in a pear tree) - does anyone know where I can get one?

I'd also love a quiz of the year - you know, who won 5 gold medals etc.

Any ideas?

Here's one - to make it extra hard, I can't find the answers! But am sure MNetters can come up with all the answers and I might be able to remember them given time.....
(my team at this quiz weren't big footie fans but we got most of them between us)

GUESS THE BRITISH FOOTBALL TEAMS

A Quiz to do throughout the evening

Use your imagination to work out the name of the British football club from the cryptic clues given. One point for each correct answer. You?ve already got a point as the first question (which has 2 possible answers) has been done for you. Numbers 7 and 23 also have 2 possible answers. If you get both you get 2 points.

To help you:
The majority are just the name of the town or city and don?t include words such as City Wanderers, Athletic etc
