    That's it Yorkie. Manacor is an industrial town about the size of Rickmansworth.

    An easy seasonal one now. Which song (exact same song and artist) has been Christmas number one twice, 16 years apart?

    Cheers Frenchie. Amongst mammals, Bats, Giraffes,Tigers, Hippos and Rhinos all have something uniquely in common which places them at one end of a scale - right at the other end we have rats, mice and sloths. What do they have uniquely in common which eg. lions, horses and all other mammals don't have ?

    I forgot that whales also belong on this list - so a clearer clue would be - what does a Tiger have in common with a whale, which he/she doesn't with other members of the cat family ?

    Bats, Giraffes, Hippos and Rhinos all have horns, as do narwhales. Not sure about tigers though - unless sabre-tooth tigers count?

    Elephants also belong to the first group mentioned, but horses, wolves and dogs, and all big cats (apart from the tiger) don't. With reference to the tiger - it would be counterproductive for him/her to use this skill whilst hunting.

    So, to summarize. Bats, Giraffes, Tigers, Hippos, Rhinos, Whales and Elephants all have an ability which no other mammals have - of this list Tigers are the only predators known for this - and no other member of the feline or canine families can do this. Even Tim Storms couldn't do this !
