It is a volcano but it's in Mexico.

Tottenham Hale.

Not really my kind of music but it is a fantastic song. Keys are all yours, well done. Early and too short. See above for the correct answer.

Thank you. Rocking on with the music theme: Johnny Cash's One Piece At A Time ends with him trying to date (not in the biblical way) the car he put together. What are the start and end years of the kit-car, as per the song lyrics? Can I have, as one answer, both start and end years, and not a...

Johnny Marr has played with The Pretenders and The The, so he would be my semi-educated guess.

Clapton (I think this is allowed, as there are no direct services between the previous station, Tottenham Hale, and Clapton).

Exactly right, well done. Colloquially known as the Emperor's Hymn and composed in 1797 for the Austrian monarchy, the piece was the national anthem until 1918. Germany then took over ownership of the anthem in 1922. The quartet is around 8 minutes long and, in my opinion, a very lovely piece of...

Thanks. Moving on from sport (for a while): Joseph Haydn's String Quartet in C Major, Op.76, No.3 is a very recognisable piece classical of music. First, what was the piece composed for and second, when the piece was no longer required, after a 4-year hiatus, what did it become? Both...

This is the Alvechurch/Oxford City tie. I don't quite remember the event in real time but it was one of those FA Cup facts dished out quite often each year - a poor man's Ronnie Radford story, if you will. I know they played a couple of ties at the two major Birmingham stadia as well as their...

Hang on - I've only just seent he 2nd (and correct) @Calthrop answer. @OhNoAPacer - sorry, to take away the gold medal.

Your suggestion is correct. Sorry @Calthrop, it was the specific answer I was looking for. @OhNoAPacer - keys to the MG are in your hand (very obscure central American/Caribbean car link there).

You have describe exactly the geographical feature that is the Darién Gap. The 66 miles in question preclude one from achieving/completing a specific feat...

Thanks. There can be many answers to this question but specifically, in travel terms, what would the Darién Gap stop you achieving?

Would this be Ashley Cole? Not sure how many but he won the thing enough times with Arsenal and Chelsea.

Memo to self: never take Chas'n'Dave as one's point of reference.

1901 was a glorious year for Tottenham Hotspur. Cameron, Smith and Brown, as the song goes, 3-1 against Sheffield United. That was the replay though.

On a similar premise I say Crystal Palace and 1911.

And I don't think 'Seaman Staines' ever existed... Cut-Throat Jake was Pugwash's nemesis. Am I going off-topic?

Aren't the Captain Pugwash/rude names something of a teatime myth? I thought the cabin boy was called 'Tom', although enough people think it was 'Roger'.

Thanks but in the absence of a question of note, I'll leave an open floor, if I may, with crampons and guide ropes (or whatever tools mountain climbing people use).
