    When Elizabeth II dies she will be the longest lived former head of state of England. Who is the current longest lived former head of state of England?

    Is this one of those where the husband of the Queen is Prince Regent but the wife of the King is Queen, so the longest lived would be the person who when she died was Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother?

    No. It is the head of state. The Queen Mother was never Head of State. I worded the question VERY carefully. You are right to realise that there is a trick here, though. The person you are looking for lived to 85 years of age.

    Something that long and without an end would probably have to be some sort of circular road. Is there a main road that runs around Iceland?

    On the sixth of February 2012 Liverpool gained an extra player in the form of a cat running onto the pitch and trying to distract Brad Friedel during a game against Spurs. Is that what you're thinking of ?
