    Not sure if this is a cheat or not but;
    Have just been told of Nunavut, Newfoundland and Labrador, and new Brunswick by a lass of Canadian extraction in my daughters hall of residence. That leaves one to find

    Ding to Keehotee. The first joint host city was going to be LA but it never happened and the 1984 Games were held in Stoke Mandeville and New York. In 1980 it was in Arnhem.

    I must be showing my age ... or didn't spend enough time watching TV as a kid/teenager (I must have been out playing in mud and setting treasure hunts )

    .. the only muppets I recognised were Miss Piggy & Kermit

    and only 'Big Bird' in Sesame street.

    ... so, pass on this one

    Oscar the Grouch, the Count, Cookie Monster (she looked different on BB), Bert, and Ernie.

    And in the unlikely event that I get more correct than anybody else, I absolutely refuse to set the next question.

    What name is given to the notorious tidal current in the Lofoten islands off northern Norway?

    I'm sad enough to know the answer to this one - I used to sail in and out of Bodo on a product carrier about 20 years ago....

    ...... but in the interests of not making people wait a week between questions, somebody else can have a go

    Pass. I have no knowledge of Norwegian tidal currents.

    I do vaguely remember The Great North Atlantic Drift, The Labrador, The Benguela... The Eccles Cake current...

    SORRY! Missed the ding and wasn't watching carefully coz it was a wild, stab-in-the-dark guess :$

    OK, all things being equal, this time next week I'll be in the location of the classic 1942 film starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. What currency will I be using to buy my beer?

    I think I know the film, but if it's the one I've got in mind I don't know the currency... Aaaggh, it's needling me, as I'm sure I'll recognize it when someone posts it...
