Hi Kol, I think I should have two points for that last round? I had Marie Antoinette in my first PM, and then I sent you Spencer Perceval in a separate PM after, when it came to me all of a sudden. You said on thread we could re-submit answers, unless I misread something?

Sorry homer, will take a quick look

You had a rhyme? Our history teachers just wanted to beat it into us (not literally thankfully

Thanks Kol, and sorry for the hassle. Might be in vain but I need every point I can get to avoid being condemned to the Europa League for next season! :P

Feckin' Donegal... It was a toss up for me between that and Cork, and of course I went against my gut instinct and said Cork...

For some reason I was confident Truman was in office when Lizzie was crowned...

Pablo Picante make great Burritos and I regret nothing with that answer... although I have heard of Roberto Baggio, so probably should've guessed an actual player...

I knew it was one of the Baggios who had that stupid hair, but I couldn't remember which one.

So of course I went for Dino.

Same. Turned out he was president when she became queen when her father died, but there was an election before the coronation.

There was more than one Baggio...?

I actually remember this guy's name, but I feel better now that I wouldn't have known what he looked like (I entered Mullet Maniac

)

Yeah that's the only reason I figured it out. I remembered from The Crown that she was queen quite a while before the coronation.

Holy crap, I had to go back and check my answers to make sure - I cannot BELIEVE I guessed Uptown Funk, and it was right

I couldn't tell you who sang it, or what it sounds like, that is the biggest coincidence EVER!!
