    Yet impressive they managed to get every Scottish tory to take part in the poll.

    Sorry it's taken so long - a short one. What was the last church to ever make the claim of having been the tallest man made structure on Earth (at the time) ?

    Cheers cologne

    There are possibly a few answers to this, but, not being a historian, I'm only aware of one - which red herring given to the French changed the course of history for the UK and one other country?

    No. It's something that happened which led to Australia becoming a British colony rather than a French one.

    La Perouse an admiral in the race to Botany Bay.... went looking for no-existent treasure islands.
    Pérouse was using a map published by the British Admiralty which had intentionally included several non-existent islands.

    So the Brits got there first and the rest is.... penal colonies!

    That's it - and possibly a sop to him, there's a Sydney suburb named after him.

    Over to you

    The ease at which the betting scam was set up and how much money they scammed . Mind you, many were russians with far too much money anyway so there is that. This was not even village cricket posing as the IPL. And the commentary <laugh>

    A quickie...

    Acrylic, clay, silicon rubber. What is missing, and where should it be in the sequence?
