    Sounds like some old aristocrat or monarch even got the best legal brains around at the time to frame a law that he could push through parliament so that he could get his hands on someone's treasure or country or something. Gotta be Ireland so.......??!!

    As if it could be anywhere else. Well done Mack

    Presidential permission required apparently, but many have managed to get it. Why? No idea. (No sex with partner jokes at this conjuncture please)

    George Best (Manchester United v Ipswich, 1971)

    The genius that was George Best took pride in taking innovation on the football pitch to the next level. Unsurprisingly, Best used the corner like a free-kick and would often attempt to score. He spent hours practising his art, maintaining that he could ''stick them in the net direct from the corner spot nine times out of 10'' on the training pitch.

    Best netted direct from a corner against Ipswich in 1971, but when opposing manager Bobby Robson called it a 'fluke', he wanted to prove him wrong. In his own words: ''There was one Saturday when we played Ipswich in the league and I scored direct from a corner. Bobby Robson was interviewed and said it was a complete fluke. He reckoned I couldn't do it again if I tried a thousand times. Anyway, we met them in the cup the following week . When we won our first corner, I gave Bobby a wave as if to say, "Watch out for this one." I swung it in and it went smack against the post. In a way it was more magical that it didn't go in. I quite liked the fact that it was almost perfect.''

    The United winger had first completed the feat for his country, Northern Ireland, in 1965 when he scored against Albania in a World Cup qualifier, while he also hit the bar in trying the same trick against Bulgaria in 1972 before he was sent off for kicking an opponent.

    Monday through to Saturday (in other words not on a Sunday) as long as it is with a bow and arrow - very similar to what Kiwi said.

    What is the name shared by a suspension bridge, a modern Roman Catholic cathedral and a city that styles itself "the Norwegian capital of Texas"?
