Marie Antoinette syndrome is where hair suddenly turns white. It is believed it happened to her when she was captured at the time of the Revolution. Not much evidence if the tale is true or not.

 

oh and she did do the cake thingy!

 

Spot on.

Over to you

 

Cheers BB.

What unique record does Merv Hughes hold?

 

Is it that he once took a hattrick that was spread over 3 days and 2 innings against West Indies?

 

Almost there Dave. One word wrong.

 

Was it over 2 days?

 

It was over two days, but that is not what I was looking for.

 

Hat-trick spread over three overs?

 

Yes, he took the first with the last ball of an over. The second was the last man who was removed with the first ball of the next over. The hat trick was completed when he took the opener with the first ball of the Windies second innings.

 

Where in the world does sovereignty alternate?

 

I can't remember the name of it but it's an island on a river near Irun - which is French for 6 months of the year and Spanish for the other.

 

Just checked it's the island of Faisans, on the river Bidassoa.

 

Now why didn't the Tories try that with the EU - instead of this infernal Brexit?

 

Well done.. Over to you Cologne

Cheers Yorkie. What happens when Lima becomes Quebec ?

 

Your plane is cleared for landing... or take off??

 

It does have something to do with clearance Yorkie, but not with flying. There is also a historical connection to Dubrovnik.

 

12th century ... or more recent?

 

The historical 'Dubrovnik' connection is more recent - well actually only by 200 years, or so - from the 14th century. But of course in those days in Dubrovnik they didn't know of Lima or Quebec.
