I will guess that it’s a boxer. I think I would remember if it was Muhammad Ali, and I don’t, but let’s say him. Or George Foreman.

 

[qprbeth]

Yes Stan I said it was easy...Ali

I google the ones I don’t know if there is no way to make an educated guess, but don’t answer the question, can’t really see the point of this otherwise.

That’s it. I thought Poland’s border with the Kaliningrad enclave might catch a few out. Neither Uzbekistan nor Armenia have land borders though.

Cheers Stan. A quickie without looking at a map - Which of the following cities is the furthest south: New York, Lisbon, Madrid, Naples, Athens, Ankara ?

 

[qprbeth]

I think oodles goes before shedload and shedloads goes before MILLIONS.
Which in my book is a bigger number than I can count easily on appendages so about 26

 

[qprbeth]

Jumping straight in without thinking ...New York

Must be Athens, I know that New York and Lisbon are almost parallel.
