Now I have a dilemma as “Beach Hut and Simply Paul” have both got one right and as there are only two, who do I award the ding.

Nepal's the only one I know isn't a rectangle, but it may just be the most famous...Thanks for the dingStaying with flags. How many national flags are not rectangular and name the country/s
That’s a partial ding, there is at least another one

This was annoying me so I checked and I was right. But by checking, I've excluded myself. D'oh! I really am flagging at this quiz lark...
That at least suggests that it is known even if only in the darkest recesses of the mind
That must be the longest we have had a question last and I am not trying to stich you up either. I had a series of hints but never thought I would get to use them.
So... does it help to know it was in the USA?
Helen
When this question was first published, I thought I knew the name, but had no idea from where.
But with the clues above, wasn’t he the creator of the stars and stripes flag.

That’s a ding
Barack Obama won the presidential election in 2008, and was first inauguration as the 44th President of the United States, on Tuesday, January 20, 2009.

Sorry no ding

In which year was Barack Obama first inaugurated as American President?

I'm not sure Countdown would qualify as one of the best theme tunes
There's a clue in my first sentence - it's more of a sporting theme.
That will teach me to read the question properly
-
A youth spent watching cricket on TV when I wasn't outdoors playing cricket or watching other sport on TV.
In a similar vein, and because it's one of the best theme tunes ever, Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks.is credited with which classic C4 theme tune from the 1980s.
Just a guess but "Countdown"

Having just published a new cache, I found that when I came to edit the page before sending for review. That I had to add the HTML code by hand to format the page.
But on the initial run through I had the buttons at the top of the page to add formatting automatically. Making the whole process very easy and straight forward.
Could this feature be added to the edit cache page section?

Im in email sent

try the Bala area of North Wales
The local reviewer has recently called them evil and the CO the spawn of the devil for setting them

Thanks for the ding. A question this time from one of my quiz rounds at the pub.
What is the name for a rectangular tiered temple or terraced mound erected by the ancient Assyrians and Babylonians?
-
Will that be the pier at Burnham-on-sea

I have copied the idea (GC3H79Z) and it caches some seasoned cacher’s out. It’s a 1.5/1.5 but they do fall into the trap
Caches them out? Intentional or unintentional pun?
I'd need to work out where I could get some magnetic sign stuff, do you buy and print yourself or get like an ebay seller who sells them with whatever you want printed?
Would also work as a stage of a short multi... hmm!
I looked at getting magnetic sheet but it was too expensive.
I printed the sign on a sheet of paper then laminated it.
I then taped it to a post and hid the small magnetic micro cache on a sign next to it
-
This one has been up for awhile so I guess it's okay to post a pic or two.
Can you spot the cache. Of Course you can. I have received more than a couple emails telling me my cache has been taken away by the "authorities" and a few have sent me a pic to prove it! I love this game.
I usually respond to those emails asking if they know where I could look up the specific "code violation - GC2QRBA" it refers to.
I really badly want to copy this!!!

Zanzibar ?
that will be the ding for Civilised
The Anglo-Zanzibar War was fought between the United Kingdom and the Zanzibar Sultanate on 27 August 1896. The conflict lasted around 40 minutes, and is the shortest war in history.

45 minutes. I believe it was somewhere like Andorra?
you have 1/2 the answer correct
-
thanks for the ding.
lets have a change of subject
At 9:02 AM on August 27, 1896 the world`s shortest war started. Where did it start and how long did it last?
