    No, not him either - a couple of decades later.

    Although not Irish, he comes from the city some say should be the capital of Ireland...

    I think Gordon Brown stole the house from Tony Blair who inherited it from his mother, Margaret Thatcher.

    Not too sure about the whole sentence, but the final two words are correct. Another example of hypocrisy from politicians - impose a tax and then avoid paying it themselves.

    Over to you...

    Your very own mayor of Reykjavik - Jón Gnarr?

    It seems that he had a somewhat 'interesting' childhood, not what you would expect from someone in such an elevated position - not even Boris can better that.
