    It was a good question back in the Soviet Union days as there was only one answer (Afganistan), but now there are two so it doesn't sound as good.

    Is this a trick question??? Wasn't it available through downloads in the last couple of months for the first time??? God be with the days when charts were based on record sales from shops.

    Or if you were only asking about the song there have been covers, just ask Ralf Harris, think he even went top 10, oh the shame.

    Okay, so here's a bit of a riddle..............

    How far into the woods can you go?

    Ah it was. Last year to promote the new album. So the answer is 2007. And charts used to be based on sheet music sales if you want to go down that route :p

    Jesus is right for your one. Jesus is always right :D

    It is in no way my turn, but after two weeks, it is time to get things moving again, so I'll ask one. Anyone who feels emotional about my behaviour may feel free to barrage me with hate PMs. Also, apologies if this has already been asked.

    What two Latin words translate as 'Course of life?'

    Course I think is tractis or tractus and life is vita, but not sure what the latin is for that little word 'of', can anyone complete.

    Thanks for breaking the silence!

    What actor was the first to be nominated in both Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor role in the same year at the Oscars, bonus for films and year. Not sure if it has been repeated since that's why I say first.
