    What is the connection between this and the 7th century?

    The Baguette stamp - unveiled on 16th May, the day of Saint-Honoré, the patron saint of bakers?

    He died in 600AD, which is generally viewed to be in the 7th Century, but is mathematically in the 6th Century...;)

    That's it. The first scratch and sniff stamp to be produced.

    I wonder if Scotland will produce a scratch & sniff haggis stamp?

    Which International trophy did Watford's first team win without conceding a goal in five matches - and when? (hopefully there's only the one - can't find any record of more)

    ... Of China. Yes. In 1987 - and we did it without a manager, if I'm not mistaken.

    If it was the 1-0 win at Wrexham in 1981 - I was there? ;)
    Might have been Les Taylor's first goal...

    Was it the first time we had won our opening three away fixtures in a season - this one being the third?

    I should have realised that - I thought it may have meant six away wins on the trot, but after counting back I found that QPR spoiled that by holding us to a 0-0 draw, so discounted the idea...

    Why was Rambo's death a great cause for celebration - even though it was unconfirmed?

    This one has been officially declared dead - as he hasn't been seen for two years.
