  10. Oh dear, I can only get the classics: 1, 3, 7 and 10. Some others I feel I SHOULD know. At a wild stab, would 2 be The Taming of the Shrew?

  11. I have now cheated and Googled. And yes, I should indeed have known the ones I didn't get. Except, interestingly enough, the only one I was completely blank on, sure I never heard before, seems to be one that many people would think they can identify – and it's a fake!

    1. Love me or hate me
      both are in my favour
      If you love me I'll always be in your heart
      If you hate me I'll always be in your mind.

      Some doubt about this one.
