You know, the bigger problem is thinking of another question if you get it right...
Does this imply that the question has been asked before ? I had a moment of doubt, but insufficient time to check back through the over 1000 posts
If it has, accept my apologies and feel free to ask another.

I'm araid I have to accept your first answer.
Correct!
Thanks for that
C. S. Lewis wrote about Narnia and other things - what does C. S. stand for ?

Or Gladstone - sorry.

How many years was the lease on Hong Kong and which Prime Minister was in charge at the time we won it?
99 years on the New Territories - not the island itself.

three of them have met the queen, the 4th hasn't. The 4th is Robin.??
Is that the right answer ?

I've put "Off topic" to avoid questions of the "what's this got to do with the UK?" variety, cf another thread.
I'm sorry about that - I promise I wasn't being the topic police - I genuinely didn't see why a French cache would have questions asked about it here.
Yet another lesson learnt re: reading the entire post before jumping in
I rarely post to congratulation threads - but as a token of my shame - I'm really happy to hear that France now has 1000 caches - must be getting close to the number of cheeses now

I'm off to a parish council meeting tonight to get clearance for my first cache
And I'm still trying to find the right person to get permision for another one
I wonder which one will happen first?

Oh, and when I've gone to bed and not here to take the compliments as to my right answer - what film did Al Pacino finally win an Oscar for ?

Mrs B suggests 'Scent of a Woman'
Mrs B is entirely correct
Over to you.

I just asked it !

Sorry
I didn't realise it was a UK cacher.
Given my lack of further research - surely the answer is obvious ?
I'll shut up now.

So why not complain in the French speaking forum ?
I'm sure no UK person would do anything like this

I don't mean to be rude, but why is this in the UK forum ?

Sauron's master was Morgoth. Don't know who the mentor was!
Who do you thnk taught Sauron all he knew about baddiness, evil behaviour and generally being Middle Earth's all-round nasty guy ?
You don't learn all that at college.

Thanks for that The Forester.
I promise that I shall sit by my PC until this question is answered - to avoid being pre-empted by googlers as I was the other day
In The Lord of the Rings, what is the name, (given to him by Feanor, the Elven High King), of the first Dark Lord, Sauron's mentor ?

No need to ask whether Glonass is the right answer. I know!
My turn:
Never mind Salem, when and where was the last Witchcraft trial in England?
Bonus point(s) for additional detail about the circumstances of the trial.
During the Second World War - 1943 ?
Medium holding seances in a Naval port - knew more than she should about an RN ship sinking ?
Details vague - sorry.

Is he Raffles' chum ?
civilised
Jolly well done Civilised old chap, he was indeed one time school chum, confidente and partner in crime to the amature cracksman and hero of the England cricket team A.J. Raffles.
Next Question.
I only knew this subconciously through reading the pastiche of Raffles in Viz magazine - I think so anyway
Anyway - I live in Swindon - and given the current theme - which is the only Sherlock Holmes story to mention the town ?
