    Yes, but not the last twice-married. There was one later.

    Better whiskey! In the Middle Ages most soldiers went into battle fighting drunk.

    I have a nice sports question but I don't think that subject suits New Home or looksee and we seem to be deserted by some others. Therefore:

    The piece of flesh that grows on a turkey's head is called a .........?

    Sure, ask the sport question, looksee and myself might be out but it might attract other punters, you never know. :)

    Ok, here goes, but I did warn you, it's a difficult one, even for sports aficionados.

    In 2015 Daniel Teklahaimanot became the first black African to wear the King of the Mountains (i.e. polka dot) jersey in the Tour de France. What is his nationality?

    Now I have three questions going. Am I a hog? (Oops! That's a fourth question.)

    Nope. Not Dr. Congo. You should bear in mind that cycling is not that popular in Anglophone/Commonwealth countries.

    i now have 2 quesrions outstanding:

    1. In 2015 Daniel Teklahaimanot became the first black African to wear the King of the Mountains (i.e. polka dot) jersey in the Tour de France. What is his nationality?

    2. If and when Charles succeeds QEII he will be the first twice-married monarch of England/Great Britain since who?

    I suggest you make a serious attempt on them before the Christmas brandy and whiskey pickes the brain, or worse still, before the festive excess results in rigor mortis.

    Sorry Zeus. I missed this answer of yours. The word I had was snood, but on checking it seems a snood is specific to turkeys and is one of many wattles pertaining to a number of birds.

    Your question please?

    South African? I know they have a few reasonably well known cyclists but being honest, every one I can name is white, so this is a guess at best.
