    I'll suggest South Africa, though I suspect that could be an illusion caused by mapping. And various bits of it have been carved off. Worth a try though.

    OK, here's a little clue: the answer to my question was different before 2011

    Correct!

    Boiling point of water at 1 atmosphere of pressure (14.5psiA) is 100C. As the pressure is increased, does the boiling point go;
    A. Up
    B. Down
    C. Remain the same.

    B. Down. As the pressure increases, the molecules are pushed closer together, requiring less energy to make them bounce off each other and produce heat.

    You have to remember how the boiling point is determined - when the (water) vapour pressure is greater that the external pressure allowing gas molecules to form. An increase in surface pressure means that the temperature has to be raised for a vapour to overcome the external pressure.

    Increase in (external)pressure = increase in boiling point.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    Drat, my memory for physics fails me :D Yeah, of course it is, water boils at a lower temperature at the top of Everest as the example goes.

    OK.

    You know how you used to tune it to the Muppet Show but would never admit it?
    You know how you used to sing along with the theme tune?
    Remember the last note of the theme music was played, usually badly, by your man below? What was his one-word name?

    Can't remember, I think it was a jazzy style name like Duke but I know it wasn't Duke. Pass, as usual.

    Wabbits - sorry Rabbits are not native to Ireland, who was responsible for bringing them here?

    And we are a question short that no-one threw in one for (if you see what I mean) so I'll see if I can come up with another one...

    What/who is or was Dolly Blue?

    Close but no prize yet.
    Hint: He got his name from a type of menswear, popular in the 1940's or so.
