Apparently in Kenya there is an illegal alcoholic brew called chang'aa, which translates as Kill Me Quick. It's known to have been made with jet fuel or embalming fluid, and has been found to contain faecal matter, decomposing rats and women's' knickers. Pleasant drinking I imagine...

Anything to do with that?

Scrumpy?

Scrumpy?

No. Last clue. It was also called Mother's ruin.

Gin!

Gin!

You got it, Dave. The licencing laws were introduced because a 2 year old girl in Swansea died of sclerosis of the liver from being given gin by her mother to help her sleep.

I think a bite mark left on a victim matched up to his crooked teeth.

Cheers Dave. A sporting one: Which is the only town or city to have held stages of all 3 cycling Grand Tours ie. The Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a Espana ?

 

[oldfrenchhorn]

Well I do know that all of the Tours have had stages in Holland. So as a guess Amsterdam.

Sorry Frenchie, not Amsterdam.

 

[oldfrenchhorn]

I cannot think of any other country, so will stick with Holland. Next guess then will be Utrecht.

Not Utrecht Frenchie. First clue is that this town/city was central to a legal case the result of which may,later, have infuenced the Pozzo's decision to buy Watford FC.

If it's Bosman, then the case was heard in Luxembourg, so I'd have to say Luxembourg City.

Not Luxembourg Barry. You are however right about the city I am thinking of having something to do with the Bosman case.

Liège in Belgium?

 

[colognehornet]

Liège in Belgium?

All yours Frenchie. Liege has held stages in all 3 tours - and has also held the prestigious first stage of the Tour de France on 2 occasions. The clue on Bosman obviously refers to him having played for Standard Liege immediately before the court case.

 

[oldfrenchhorn]

Thanks cologne.

What is special about the D338?
