(Well done, we made it to the end…)
During 2018:
1 Which NCO is 2nd class?
2 Whence the theft of items of the Vasa regalia?
3 Which circumnavigator has been inspired by Verne?
4 Which unique avian species has been released on Loch Fad?
5 Whose subterfuge recalled a fictitious deception at waterfalls near Meiringen?
6 Whose apparent half-nelson produced tears in Kiev (not to mention Cairo and Liverpool)?
7 Who was given Kilkeel, while his only predecessor had received Arklow?
8 How has St James caused trouble in the Baie de Seine?
9 Who has made a smooth exit from eternal inflation?
10 Whose delivery was described as Raw God?
6 is Sergio Ramos’ tackle/assault on Mo Salah.
5 – the waterfalls are the Reichenbach Falls, so presumably this has something to do with faking death . This is ringing a vague bell, but I can’t think who.
7. I think this may have something to do with Harry becoming Duke of Sussex – some bonus title or property he got at the same time?
Re5: Oh, that was the journalist or was he a politician? who pretended to have been murdered by… the Russians, maybe? And then revealed he was alive a couple of days later.
Oh yes, Ukrainian, wasn’t he?
Apologies for less than normally adequate round ups of the answers.
I’ll do a master “what remains” comment here. eventually
9. Dunno about “who” or “eternal” but I say full leg wax. Not bothered if wrong.
4 is the jet engined boat that killed Donald Campbell, Bluebird K7, which has been restored and did its first water trials in August on Loch Fad.
Any plans for any wiki-illiamage this year? (Totally understandable if not, obv.)
i am on a double writing deadline (which is good) and won’t have time (which is bad): i will poke alan tho, in case he does have time
Right ho!
