Sharpeset

in the opera house, Sydney

Is it a QI special? - "Nobody knows..."?

Certainly was DING!

More correctly marking the last kilometre - but its a maillot jaune and a ding to Sharpeset!! Merci sticking tenuously with the cycling theme: Queen released Bicycle Race as a double A-sided single in 1978. What track was on the other A-side?

isn't it what they call the red inflateable arches marking distances to the finish of stages in the Tour de France?

Yep, right on all counts. As you have been precise with the canal lift detail I'll let you off not specifying Falkirk DING

Thanks - very much enjoyed my ride behind her last year on the Severn Valley Railway Sticking with the Scottish theme, what and where are the Kelpies?

Flying Scotsman!

I was going to say Prince Albert of Monaco, but not aware that he's abdicating any time soon!

I think you are right: 2nd year minus birth year gives age in the second year: 2025-1980 = 45 and so on....

I think Pajaholic gets it - the Ding was for the first to name six of the eight

As it's Friday and I'm feeling generous you can have the Ding - it is indeed the Wales Millenniun Centre on Cardiff Bay

Thanks - Jungfraujoch is on my bucketlist, having been to Wengen but not having had time (or the money!) for the trip to the top. Change of tack.....where would you find a series of shaped windows spelling out the words "In these stones horizons sing"?

I assume you are after the Jungfraujoch railway station - highest railway station in Europe?

Jahwohl! A swiss Ding to you...

Sticking with geography - where would you find a monk standing between a virgin and an ogre? Sounds like fanciful names for rock formations to me: I'll guess they are sea stacks ... Shetland maybe ? Right sort of idea, but not Shetland

Wow, interesting! But not the answer I'm afraid, for one thing the dates don't fit. According to the Guardian "VAT is a continental invention. French tax authority apparatchik Maurice Lauré fathered the tax in 1954, although a tax that touched on every stage of the production process was first theorised in Germany a century earlier. VAT took its bow in the UK in November 1974" I checked because I was worried my question might have an unintended second solution. It's one of only two countries that are wholly landlocked by countries which are themselves landlocked. The other one is one of the 'Stans' I believe (Kyrgistan landlocked by Kazakhstan?) Ding to Sharpeset, a "doubly landlocked" country is what wikipedia calls it, defined there as " ... surrounded entirely by one or more landlocked countries (requiring the crossing of at least two national borders to reach a coastline)." The other is Uzbekistan Over to you Thank you Sticking with geography - where would you find a monk standing between a virgin and an ogre?

Turkey?

Good guess! - DING!

Mendelsson wrote the music for both That's ,the fellow - over to Sharpset! Thanks Who is quoted as saying "Unless we make Christmas an occasion to share our blessings, all the snow in Alaska won't make it white"?

Mendelsson wrote the music for both

....and rightly so!

Greece?

We certainly are.... DING!
