    She wasn't born in albania. She was born in Skopje. Which is now the capital of Northern Macedonia. She is ethnically albanian though.

    Macedonia didnt exist as Macedonia when she was born. It probably wasnt Albania either

    well it definitely wasn't albania as Skopje has never been in a country called Albania. It was in the ottoman empire at the time she was born.

    16? I would have guessed closer to 12, but I do remember it's surprisingly high number.

    There are three statues on top of the GPO. Lots of people will know Hibernia, but who are the other two?

    And none of the clubs I mentioned are current.

    Reading is one, and possibly Swindon?

    I'll have to think about the last one

    Edit: Barnsley.

    I reckon it's a trick question. Heard one like this in a quiz many years ago, and have always remembered since how a bridge only spans a river if there no supports underneath......e.g. the Ha'penny Bridge spans the Liffey, but O'Connell Bridge doesn't.

    Still don't know the answer, though....

    In the 1996 olympic games all the sprint medals were won by black athletes except for one, and he was black as well.

    (I might have the wrong games ... but someone will correct me)

    It was 1996 all right...where Roger Black of the UK won silver in the 400 metres.

    can you clarify how your question defines a bridge. You are counting the Halfpenny bridge as a bridge but not the one at Watling St?
