i: what is a WLAR?
ii: where is there peace and holy quiet?
iii: who was the master of Thornfield Hall?
iv: which club did Race leave to manage AC Monza?
v: who wrote of his hero’s Innocence, Wisdom and Incredulity?
vi: whose 20th century lymantrid emulalated a 17th century cervid?
vii: what name was given to the Belgic town Calleva?
viii: what coat typically boasts a velvet collar?
ix: where was Dr Arabin appointed Dean?
x: where do 11 Us unite?

the rules as they have evolved:
a: give nice full answers and anecdotes where possible!
b: say if googled or not, and leave a bit of a while for people to answer non-googlingly
c: you're obviously allowed to look ahead at future questions as (first) this was published in a national newspaper and i can't stop you and (second) i can't stop ME either, and have done exactly this
d: let other fora in same game be (unpoliceably) Out of Bounds till next set is up -- even tho obv they are all wronghead feebs compared to us

haha v is father brown which i just started rereadin last night by feat of spooky telepathy
