    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

    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...? :D 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 :p)

    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.
