That's it Cologne. I thought the barleycorn was an obsolete measurement, like a perch or pole, until recently.

Thanks Cologne. Another quickie,
What well known Scotsman has or had the middle name of Balfour?
That's the one BB, Stevenson actually rejected Balfour from his name!

Cheers dave. How dare he reject the name Balfour, it was my father's middle name - which would have made him BBB.
What novel use was this song put to in 2013?

- I Did It Again" and "Baby One More Time" are being used to scare off Somali pirates threatening to attack merchant navy ships off the east coast of Afrtica...
It was used as a threat to Somali pirates that if they were caught they would be forced to listen to Britney Spears every day in their cell
To quote a naval office at the time - "Her songs were chosen by the security team because they thought the pirates would hate them most. These guys can't stand western culture or music, making Britney's hits perfect. As soon as the pirates get a blast of Britney, they move on as quickly as they can." Apparently it worked too...
Over to you.
