wiki-illiam #104: q16

[dubdobdee]

Q16: Following my leader, who or what:
i: is a Hampshire jewel?
ii: decorated Findlater's label?
iii: is meteorologically striking?
iv: houses Colum Cille's shrine?
v: could be wild duck washed down with Ch. Latour?
vi: might refer to poor Sarah's biliary obstruction?
vii: is absolutely necessary to a ram?
viii: was Anastasia's great aunt?
ix: could have been a crusader?
1x: is a musteline appendage?

the rules as they have evolved:
a: nice full answers and anecdotes if poss
b: say if googled or no; leave time for non-googlers to play
c: obviously look ahead at future questions if you want
d: don't bring in confirming or dissenting answers from other fora until next set is up and running

spoilers colum cille is st columba (i know that as google-detritus from an earlier KWQ question!) and mustelidae is weasels stoats and etc i think; anastasia's great aunt is surely victoria (she is everyone's great aunt)

Anastacia = not Queen Vic's great-niece alas, QV is her great-grandma. Her grandma Alice was covered in a different question, wasn't she?

Therefore A's grebt aunt on that side = either Victoria Jnr, Helena, Louise or Beatrice.

there are two other anastasias i know of -- one is a beefy popstar and the other is the white circus tiger in the simpsons (she rides a unicycle and smokes a pipe)

OK on the paternal side, she has an Aunt called Alexandra Alexandrovna (salad of all the initials?)

And ANOTHER Alexandra who married Edward VII. Blimes they don't half get around a bit, these Romanovs.

mmm, cousin marrying, lovely.

Queen Alexandra was, by all accounts a ph34rsome woman...
