It is never easy so a couple of decent scores above. Trivia is of no interest to many but can be seen as educational to others. Anyone using the answers to win a Christmas quiz feel free to support your favourite charity. If you win mega bucks on Millionaire that means me.

Million pound question and the only lifeline I have left is 'phone an imaginary friend', hey ho. :emoticon-0138-think


The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
 
just the one this week, although i might appeal re number 14.

In his will Napoleon asked to be buried on the banks of the Seine, but the British Governor, Hudson Lowe, insisted he should be buried on St. Helena, one of the remotest islands on Earth, in the Valley of the Willows (now Sane Valley). In 1840, Napoleon had been buried on Saint Helena Island since 1821, and King Louis-Philippe decided to have his remains transferred to Les Invalides in Paris.

i don't dispute the location at all. i had no idea (though i'd've tried elba first) so i thought i'd try "in the ground". i'd also argue that people left in crypts and morgues and catacombs and so on were never actually buried.
