So with some help from Cam, we found something about how the Runcorn bridge was built by the same people who designed some sort of underground train system in Sydney? I tried to google it again to find the details but can't find it; the best I found was that Dorman Long built the Runcorn Bridge and also the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and that the two bridges have a similar design.

"I know him so well" is a song from which musical?

(I'm going to presume you meant Irish here): 1916 and I cannot find one particular thing that it signified other than it was the first major demonstration of force since 1798. Please tell me if I got that wrong!

Why do leaves change colour in the Autumn? Bonus points (dog cuddles) for being as scientific as you can.



There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!

As far as I understand it that date is considered as the starting point for the war for Irish independence. (Or maybe it's Iris‘ independence, who know!)

Idk how to answer think question in a science y way but I would guess less sunlight means they don't produce chlorophyl (<- this might be a purely German word!)?

Haha Epic, I typed 'Bloom arrive destination' into google and got an article about mustard and another wherein Orlando Bloom discusses beating jet lag!

As to your answer, I really have no idea.

I now have no idea what the last question was....

So my question is... what was the last question that hasn't been answered? :P

Know that I already have been up there with Jenna in September 2011 when we met for the first time!

In German his name is Dino. Almost sure there is a different English name though?

Still posing a new question: how many tube lines stop at Bank?

I had to google this as my brain was just like 'nope the app of the underground won't help.'

But including the dlr there are 4. DLR, northern, central and Waterloo & City

If you also include monument station as they are that close to each other it is 6 as you have circle and district line stops.

Apart from Liverpool and London, can you name another uk city that has a similar sort of train service and what it is called?

My duvet cover doesn't do DLR but sounds about right.
Who needs Google when they have London Underground bedding?

And I have no idea but am very intrigued by your question!

Pretty sure it's Glasgow, the system being Glasgow Subway, (Liverpool's isn't an underground btw, only 4 stops on the lines are, just I'm presuming your question was about undergrounds.)

My question is can you list all the landlocked counties in England?



Oh god I want to hear you say,
I want to hear you say that you were wrong again

This is the first thing

I was actually thinking the Newcastle Metro system. But their system is mainly overground.

With the help of Google;

West Yorkshire
Greater Manchester
Derbyshire
Staffordshire
Shropshire
Leicestershire
Rutland
Warwickshire
West Midlands
Northamptonshire
Worcestershire
Herefordshire
Bedfordshire
Buckinghamshire
Oxfordshire
Hertfordshire
Wiltshire
Berkshire
Surrey
and three that can be contested due to their tidal rivers in some areas- South Yorkshire, Cambridgeshire and Nottinghamshire.

And now the word shire is making my mind melt.

Keeping to the theme of counties....

Name all the Yorkshire counties and bonus points if you can tell me why York residents can sue people for putting a county on their address.
