    Russia it is...and between yourself and finglasqpr you've managed all but a couple of the countries (the missing ones are North Korea and Azerbaijan). It's 14 countries in total. China also borders 14 different countries but I only spotted that once I'd set the question!

    Away you go woody..

    Sorry for the delay, forgot that the consequence of getting a question right was to set the next one.

    Anyway, keeping the Russian theme going, Chelsea owner and general Russian tough guy, Roman Abramovich owns the worlds largest and most expensive private yacht. He has installed a device to thwart the attempts of the paparazzi to take pictures of it and anyone on board. What is this device?

    Lasers could be right; they have the technology to scramble scenery now for cameras. This is being pioneered in parts of the Grand Canyon, you will have to pay to have it unscrambled and is going to be a major revenue raiser to upkeep scenic areas. Expect it to arrive in a scenic area near you before too long.
    Progress eh?

    That's it. Infra-red lasers detect the cameras and send out a light source to blind the cameras.
    All yours moultonfox.

    I think your right tramore. Denis Law being bought back by United but refusing to pay the £100k.

    Torino (?) made a nice little profit on him. A bit like us buying & selling Mark lazarus all those times!
