4 The MV Wilhelm Gustloff in Jan 1945: German ship torpedoed by the Ruskies in the Baltic with the loss of over 9,000 lives. *
7 Alexander VI
10 Italian, born in Genoa.
14 Well Socialism had been around for a while and the Labour Party can trace its origins back to the Fabian Society. The first Labour MP was Keir Hardie.

1. Constantine X1
2. Mehmed II?
3. Adolf Hitler?
4. The destruction of the Roman Fleet in the First Punic War (against Carthage) by a storm with an estimated 90,000 lives lost. The Spanish Armada (about 15-20,000) would probably be second.

12 Oliver Cromwell? 8 Fleas 10 Italian 14 Kier Hardy Questions already been answered, i shall give you two points for taking the time to answer, 12 and 8 incorrect though. I think 12 is worded badly, i mean who was the first leader in terms of a prime minister, the office of prime minister wasmt actually established til a later point, which is the bonus, sorry all i will get better at this. |

Hi Phil, it would be really helpful if you left all the questions in (so we know what the answers are for) and showed which questions have been correctly answered by modifying your original post, Tommo usually highlights the questions that have been answered in yellow which would make it easier for everybody to see. :D |

lol got so excited about the bonus I forgot to try my answers
5 was it what they called The Scorched Earth Policy where they destroyed everything that may be of use to the enemy, even food :(
6 I guess that has to be a Russian Hydrogen Bomb, I bet they had a nik name for it, but I don't have a clue what ;)
8 I am sure at school we were told that it was started and carried by Fleas although I am not sure they are classed as animals

I will go for Flying Rats then AKA PIGEONS ??? 8) I will be interested to learn the true answer to this one............ I like Kev's theory of the "Rats with Wings", nasty greedy creatures who mess on my car with impunity. One even caught me right down the back of the neck while I was walking along in Jersey minding my own business. >:( So I'll match this with "Squirrels" (a word unpronounceable by Germans) which after all are nothing more than rats with a bushy tail and a good PR agent. ;) ;D |
