Tough 2 (24 March)
11 390BC; 410; 455; 546; 1084; 1527? Various dates when Rome was taken by invaders/sacked. 390 BC was the Gauls, while 410 and 455 were all sorts of barbarians like the Ostrogoths and the Vandals, I forget in which order.
15 Gilded urn; Frederick, Duke of York and Albany; Horatio Nelson? I guess these are things that are on top of various columns in London. Urns are quite common on such things. I remember once I had to attend the official launch of the Eyre Coote Monument fund near Rockbourne in SW Hampshire at the big house of the landowner (splendid buffet lunch) and we all went up to the top of the column (out in a field) which was similar to the Monument in London. I went up these dark spiral stairs and came out on the balcony at the top. I was all right until I looked at the big urn which was right at the top above my head...........when instead of seeing the clouds move above the urn, I felt as if the Urn plus the balcony with me on it were all moving and the clouds were staying still. So it was time to come back down to terra firma.

Like the late Chaircat Midge, I am not always right.

Fictitious photo reporters. Peter Parker is Marvel (Spiderman), Jimmy Olsen is DC (Superman) so I'm guessing the others are comic-book characters too.

In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

They all played Jo March in adaptations of Little Women.
13 Blocky; dome; dry-dock; pinnacle; tabular; wedge?
Is this going to be something like golf clubs or some kind of hardware?
