    I don't think Danny was held back 21 years at school. That would have been cruel.

    Not the ex Minister of Education under Mrs Thatcher?

    I wish I'd not asked the question because I have no idea what the answer is. Perhaps Elton can tell us?

    Something to do with the AON deal? They changed the name of the training ground to include the name.

    No. It is to do with UEFA.

    Is it as simple as that they were referred to as FC Manchester United instead of Manchester United FC when the draw for the Champions League was made?

    No. It only became an issue in 2013.

    That's it Fez. UEFA didn't want the complication of Manchester Untited v Manchester United so the Gibraltarian version changed their name to Manchester 1962.

    Where, outside of a cave, would you find a stalactite?

    In some closed mines (as opposed to open cast) or under some bridges.

    Not what I'm looking for, Cologne, possibly down to poor phrasing of the question but I didn't want to give too much away...
