I think I may have accidentally found the cycling answer when I wasn't looking for it.

Now, I don't know if that's the right answer, but while you good folks have a think about the Diane Lane one I'll add two more clues, big ones: Paris and Venice.

Eritrea it is, introduced by Italians. Cycling is an expensive sport and in one of the world's great ironies it is the national sport of Eritrea which consistently ranks among the world's dozen poorest countries.
It's capital Asmara is said to be one of Africa's most attractive cities, another Italian influence being its modern architecture, especially Art Deco. Unfortunately at this time it chafes under one of the world's most oppressive regimes.

Close enough. At the the base of the skull either side of where the spinal cord comes in.

Oh dear, oh dear.

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

Clue: After KH8, before QE2. This fellow's second marriage caused quite a commotion.

Second clue: A Stuart.

Third clue: The Irish gave him a nasty nickname.

Fourth clue: He lost his crown (fifth clue not Jill's friend Jack who fell down.

)

I don't know who the origin of that rhyme is.
Dammit, there were only so many kings between H8 and QE2. There were fewer Stuarts.

There were only two Stuart kings of England who were not Charles i.e. James I and James Ii.
The answer is James II, a catholic who firstly married protestant Anne Hyde and had two daughters with her, both of whom became queen of England, Mary, wife and co-monarch of William of Orange and Anne. When Anne Hyde died James married the catholic Maria of Modena, much to the discomfiture of his mainly protestant subjects who decided to grin and bear it. However when Maria gave birth to a catholic son, the nobles had enough and invited young Mary's husband Dutch Billy aforesaid to invade, which he did and eventually defeated James at the Boyne.

New question:
Which country's national anthem was originally titled "War Song for the Army of the Rhine"?

looksee

Ok, I will get rid of the obvious Germany guess

I know its not that because I have since looked it up! Good question!

Correct. It's the original title of La Marsellaise.

Very quick answer. Well done. Vast improvement on answers to the last question.

Over to you now.

Time for a question:

What is a bulbul?

New Home

An offspring of a bulb, I think.

EDIT: No, that's a bulbil, not a bulbul.

BTW, the answer to my question re: Diane Lane's first film role was "A Little Romance", I think she was perhaps 12 or 13 at the time. It was set in Paris and then Venice. The music I was referring to was the Largo from Vivaldi's Lute Concerto in D Major RV93. Stunning music, very sweet film.

Music starts at 1h 44' 30''

Sorry for the delay folks.

1) Was referred to as “the lady of the House”, at times

2) Initials J R

I have come across that word bulbul recently, but I can't recall what it means. It may surface after a while...

Dammit, my brain was going 'chaffinch' (in the sense of generic bird) and I was ignoring it - but turns out I should have listened - I was reading a book about India recently and that was where I saw the reference - it is in fact a bird.

So its a bit suspect, but I am going to claim it.
