Here are today's offerings. I'd have got three qs right off the top of my head; I'm sure Team HF will do much better than that.

Time to feed Them - Midge is giving me the occasional reminder that a portion of Felix wet food would go down very nicely while Mother Mina either is far too polite to make such demands or (more likely) cunning enough to let him do all the asking..........

1 Which head of state’s head was displayed at Westminster Hall in 1661?
2 What are the elements of the triangle of combustion?
3 The elephant-sized Megatherium was a type of what animal?
4 Which multinational team made its Olympic debut in Rio 2016?
5 Which book’s title character is called Lemuel?
6 Where did David Scott drop a feather and a hammer?
7 What did Orca, a lagotto romagnolo, win in Birmingham this year?
8 On social media, who is @thenotoriousmma?

Oxygen, a fuel source, and ignition?

Gulliver's Travels, starring Lemuel Gulliver

7 What did Orca, a lagotto romagnolo, win in Birmingham this year?
A dog show?

6 Where did David Scott drop a feather and a hammer?
The moon. It was a test for acceleration due to gravity being equal for different weights in an airless environment.

1. 1660 was the restoration of he monarchy so I'd guess they dug up Oliver Cromwell's head
3. A big sloth
4. Don't know the name of the team but it was 10 refugees selected by the IOC
8. Don' know it but it has to be Conor McGregor doesn't it?

Not any old dog show..............you need to give me the name of the show and an indication of what it actually won to get the full point! (OC being strict

here!)

Cruft's Dog Show? Sorry, I don't pay much attention to the dog fancy - I was honestly guessing that it was actually a dog.
