    Yes, Montreal. :)

    Lots of places have more than one flag, if you consider the city/county/province/district/etc ones. :)

    Ok, lets see how many Patrick's day questions and answers we can get into today (the weekend?) Feel free to post a question if you have one, don't mind how many questions we have going simultaneously. Bit of chaos might be entertaining :D

    Here goes. Please quote the number of the question with your answer:

    1. The San Patricios were a battalion that served which country in war?
    2. Which pope sent St. Patrick to Ireland? EDIT: Who was pope when St. Patrick came to Ireland in AD 432?
    3. St. Patrick is the patron saint of which African country?
    4. Which African "Patrick" was part of the leadership of his newly independent country and was assassinated?
    5. Patsy Fagan, famed in song, was a native of which county?
    6. The said Patsy Fagan, of the genus "puer decentus Hiberniae", resided in which city?
    7. "St. Patrick's Day in the Morning" is the anthem of which country's navy?
    8. Which Irish town, which became a city by royal charter in the 17th century (1637, I think. Check Lewis' Topographical Dictionary of Ireland) was alternatively known in the past as St. Patrick's?
    9. Paddy Flaherty of Cork gave his name to which popular commodity?
    10. Why do the inhabitants of Inchicore consider St. Patrick to be nimble and fleet of foot?

    Paddy Fagan is a traditional song.....
    Paddy left Antrim (? or Armagh) to go labouring in Scotland/Glasgow.

    Q 10. Is the answer anything to do with either the teaching college OR the football club? Footballers "nimble and fleet of foot"?

    If "units" includes sheet music then aforementioned Mozart must come come into consideration.

    I remember being surprised by a chart that featured Enya as number 1. It might have been something like most albums in a particular year, but she could be a candidate.

    Having said that, may I proffer Leonard Cohen.
