    You're correct - I'll let you off naming it.

    It's the town of Whittier in Alaska - that building houses all the town's residents, as well as the post office, police station, health centre, laundromat, market, convenience store and even a church in the basement. The top two floors are a bed & breakfast business, so presumably the town gets enough visitors who really want to get away from it all. The only thing not under the roof is the pub...

    Over to you.

    Is this the monasteries in northern Greek peninsulas? I forget their names. I could Google them, I suppose.

    One of the questions I had in a Pub Quiz.

    What must be between 70.5 and 80mm in diameter and weigh between 650 and 800 g?

    Spot on BB. At championship level if they lose weight through wear and tear you can be disqualified. Over to you.

    That's the man - Vasily Blokhin. Stalin's executioner, the number who died at his own hand ran into the tens of thousands. In one instance - the Katyn Massacre - he personally shot 7000 Polish POWs in 28 days. That's 250 a day, all shot in the back of the head...

    Over to you.
