Ireland Rugby Union coach, Andy Farrell, born 30 May 1975.

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        It sounds like it, Olga.   Humanity is definitely a political animal!   (I keep thinking you’d be interesting in Scots politic.   And not just because of the mutual Independence votes: the country’s far more left of centre than most of the UK.)

        Either way … ?   UK general and local elections are usually on Thursday.   But I keep thinking a Sunday would be, for turnout: after all, there’s not so many people at work.

        I’ll keep my fingers crossed for the 23rd … !

†        Now I think of iy, Debbi: one of the dancers was an actress called Kimi Wong.   She was married to Richard O’Brien, at the time!
