    It is a cafe in Istanbul that all the hippies used to visit. I discovered that Elvis was dead, at the pudding shop. The future head of state - Mary Wotsit of Ireland?

    Can't be Mary Wotsit, unless she has had a sex change. It must be Francois Hollande.

    It was indeed the cafe/restaurant in Istanbul which was used as a kind of staging post on the hippy trail to Afghanistan and India. The head of state is also reputed to be the only one who reached that position having Gypsy ethnic origins - who was /is he ?

    As the first one is a total of the other 2, I'm going to say total goals in the history of the FL, the amount scored by home teams and the amount scored by away teams.

    Which bird was incorrectly known as a puffin in the 17th century - so named as puffin was an Anglo-Norman word meaning the cured carcasses of their nestlings?
