    Must be. I was referring to the top 92 clubs, and they haven’t always been amongst those recently. <whistle>

    The question was at fault really, as we weren’t in the League till 1920. The number of league matches to date is 4044, so I think you’re close enough.

    Over to you. <ok>

    Nothing right so far. Time for some clues - it is not very high on the tourist list, although I have been there (or rather seen from a distance) and Yorkie may also have been there.

    From the answers so far it is nothing like as beautiful as the Taj Mahal and not as usefull as the Sydney Opera House. A bit of an eyesore and totally at odds with the city around it.

    You make that sound like the County building in Aylesbury... not in a city and not big enough for sure, but architecturally speaking it is not everyone's favourite and is well out of context with the rest of the town. Personally I like brutalist architecture in small doses.

    In the mean time.... the Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest is a bit of a monster? Horrible pastiche of a building....?

    You got there Fez ! The Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest is the heaviest building in the World - it is also the second biggest after the Pentagon. It used 700,000 tonnes of steel and bronze, has a million square feet of marble, and 3,500 tonnes of crystal amongst other things. The building of it involved forced labour for their army and the displacement of around 20,000 people on the site - all to please Causescu's ideas of grandiosity. A truly hideous result. Over to you !
