    In a similar vein, this sequence is in chronological order.

    Hint 1: They're in Roman numerals because, well, it's more appropriate.
    Hint 2: 20th and 21st century only.

    X, XV, XI, XII, XXIII, VI, I, II, XVI, I

    The following mantra was hammered into us in English classes in days of yore:

    abba abba cdcdcd or cde cde.

    To what did it refer?

    (It had nothing to do with Swedish pop groups or recording media)

    Not being a child of the 60s, nor having a word of Irish despite the best efforts of the Brothers for 14 years, I haven't a clue.

    Mrs S tells me it's Dáithí but I'm none the wisher as to who or what this is all about.

    Surely not Wanderly Wagon? Daithi was Daithi Leacha. Ah you must remember Daithi Leacha. Don't know if I've even spelled that correctly or not.

    It is indeed Dáithí Lacha. A comic strip childs program that I never understood but is indelibly stamped on my brain.

    Not sure who gets this, Mrs Srameen or Jelly. :) Ah sure just fight it out betwixt yerselves.

    I really don't have one either. :(

    OK try this, off the top of my head.

    What have these in common?

    The Modern Prometheus, The boy who wouldn't grow up and What you will.
