Here is ROUND 2 of the great Poptimist quiz - again this is designed for my work so some of the qns are a bit easy (actually this really comes into play on the bits and pieces round which is full of Poptimism touchstones).

Remember, no googling. Comments screened, answers probably up this afternoon sometime.
