Post Reviewer Note
19/12/2018We noticed that this cache has been temporarily disabled for a period of time well in excess of the "4 weeks" as contemplated by Guidelines.
The Geocache Maintenance guideline explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.
Please can you either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the archive listing link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area,
If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within 30 days so we don't archive the listing for non-communication.

DING
Some long forgotten names there and no we don't know the Poison Dwarfs real name either -and we won't use that as the next question
Staying with names, what is the name - we'll accept forename or surname - of the cgi meerkat whose catchphrase is "simples"?

Mr me N u being ex RAF thinks it is the British forces broadcasting serce

Thank you for the ding - our school days were not totally wasted
Next up, and a simple one
As I was going to St Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
each wife had seven sacks,
each sack had seven cats,
each cat had seven kittens,
How many were going to St Ives?

The element is Hydrogen, symbol H - with T and D being the isotopes Tritium and Deuterium.
-
As far as we are aware, there are no chemical elements whose symbol is solely T or D - plenty of T+ eg Ti = Titanium or Ds = Darmstdtium (thanks to pointless for the latter).
-
Ding to MartyBartfast - and have to agree about being the best value too.
-
Thank you for the ding/bong.
Next question - what colour are Bow street, vine street and Marlborough street on a monopoly game board?

From that web page: " For some countries number of arrivals is limited to arrivals by air and for others to arrivals staying in hotels."
For the purposes of geocaching that's an important distinction. I see that Saudi Arabia has 10 million more visitors than UAE. I suspect that arrivals at Riyadh airport are counted in Saudi Arabia while UAE may only count arrivals at hotels as the airports in Dubai and Abu Dhabi probably get a lot more arrivals than Riyadh. Arriving a Riyadh airport isn't any more difficult than arriving in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Doha (Qatar). However, UAE doesn't require getting a visa, which would allow one to leave the airport and find a cache, for citizens of most countries. Saudi Arabia requires a visa (not sure if one can be obtained upon arrival).
It is not possible to get a visa on arrival - and tourist visas are non existent too, with the exception of those performing hadj/umrah.
By the way Mrs me N u found it very okay to go out geocaching - please do not base posts on assumptions/stereotypes.

Number of tourists per year

Perhaps a guide to which countries should have souvenirs next. I would ignore Saudi Arabia, because I imagine half the world's population would find it difficult to cache there, but I would suggest that after crossing off those countries which already have a souvenir, take the next ones at the top of the list.
Because Saudi Arabia is so difficult to get to is EXACTLY why it SHOULD have a souvenir!

Think his name is Otto, no idea on surname.

An Earthcache, in north west England, published 8 November 2018 contains
"Please do not log your visit until you have received a response from me to your answers. I am usually very quick in this."
Amended after publication or different guidelines for different countries?

The 1st battalion is based in Wales under the command of director of special forces.
The 2nd and 3rd battalions are based in Colchester.
The 4th battalion is a territorial army battalion.
We think Colchester is the answer you were after.

Hi me N u,
if I look at your profile I do see some Earth Cache banners and some statistics?
and yet when we view our own profile no user generated content is displayed, same on old and new dashboards!

We accidentally discovered the answer whilst watching "Regimental stories" on BBC 4, so will wait and see if anybody else answers.
Which means you might have known the "Poison Dwarf" ( I have forgotten his real Name), Richard Astbury, Dave Lee Travis Tommy Vance to mention a few.
