David James ?

 

It was, cologne, David James at the 2010 World Cup. Over to you.

(By the way, the King of Corsica was born in Cologne #justsayin )

 

Just read up on him Andy Keeping up the 'Cologne connection' - following the lead of Berlin and Stuttgart what addition have the elephants in Cologne zoo recently had to their culinary repertoire ? We actually helped in this very recently - together with most of the people in Engelskirchen.

 

That was going to be a clue if needed.

 

I have to say that the giraffes also benefit from this and also, strangely enough, the lions. Unfortunately this addition to their diet (not dietary in the case of lions) is not possible the whole year round.

 

There are, of course, special conditions attached to this. Fresh is always better and candle wax is to be avoided.

 

Is it discarded Christmas trees?

 

All yours Andy Preferably using those which remained unsold - those which have been used in households have to be checked for all chemical substances or tinsel traces or candle wax first. Elephants love playing with these, and stripping them down and, eventually, eating them - they contain a lot of resins and the needles contain lots of vitamin C. Lions are also very attracted by the smell and often roll on them to scratch their backs. The zoos in Berlin and Stuttgart have been using them for some time.

 

Senior was a painter, but Junior in the foreground is better known. Who are they?

 

a writer??

 

Robert De Niro Snr and Jnr.

 

Correct, ofh. I didn’t know Robert De Niro Snr was such a prominent artist. He died on his 71st birthday in 1993.

A number of his artworks are visible here:

I really like them.

Over to you, ofh.

 

Sorry, yorkie, I missed your question.

 

No... It was just a guess.. And way off

 

In the 1800's a law was passed in Paris that still exists today. The effect was to stop women from doing something, except in two circumstances. Good job it is never applied. What did the law stop women doing and what were the two exceptions?

 

Was it the one forbidding women to wear trousers?

 

Yes, and the two exceptions are?

 

Ah.. Riding a bike or horse?

 

That's it yorkie. The law was brought in to try and stop cross dressing. George Sand was heading a movement to try and stop the law, which required women to get a permit to wear male attire. Over to you.

 

Ok.. This I just found out about this last week and I was very surprised...

What vowel is always odd?
