    Yes - China has land borders with 14 countries. Russia has land borders with 12, but if you include the exclave of Kaliningrad they also have 14.

    Long before football was a game Thomas Lord laid the first cricket ground to bear his name in 1787 on what is now Dorset Square in Marylebone and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) was formed shortly after...

    This isn’t, and I don’t know the answer, but it’s a ****ing good question:
    Which of these fictional heroes has killed more baddies?
    James Bond
    Jason Bourne
    Jack Reacher
    Jack Bauer (24)?

    Well, I'd think you could discount Reacher and Bourne on that basis, they've not got that many films between them. I've never watched 24, but there's a hell of a lot of episodes so I'd plump for Bauer over Bond
