    Ben Stokes.

    I didn't realise that he is Ngā puhi. They are the Maori from the top of the North Island. It's no wonder he left Christchurch!

    To save you waiting.

    In which country is a head of state a prince who is elected by people in a different country?

    That's him. His dad Gerard played Rugby League in both NZ and England, coached in both as well as the Serbian national side.

    Don't know, but it sounds very much like somewhere to steer clear of...

    Is it Andorra? One of their two heads of state is French president Emmanuel Macron.

    I'm not sure he is a prince though...

    Yes it is Andorra. The French President becomes a prince of Andorra for the period of his (or her, one day) presidency. The UK is a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy. Andorra is a unitary parliamentary constitutional semi-theocratic elective diarchy. It has joint heads of state, the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell, currently Joan-Enric Vives i Sicília, which is why it is semi-theocratic.

    Cheers NZ...

    An analysis 8 years ago found that 30% of Bob Dylan songs and 15% of Beatles songs made reference to what?

    The analysis was done by climate scientists from five 'leading' universities in July 2015.

    Being climate scientists they tend to be experts in one thing.

    Neither. The big clue is the fact that they were 'climate' scientists.

    Thinking about that again is it Lake Bassenthwaite ? Depends on the definition used - all the others have another name for a body of water in their names such as Coniston Water or Windermere (which would be adapted from the German word for a sea).

    That's right . . . . Bassenthwaite.
    All of the others are 'waters' or 'meres'

    It doesn't make sense to me, either, but it's right :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Cheers Gordon. What did the ancient romans hold in their right hand when making an oath in court (before Bibles were used).
