It's luck. The proverb says a "wet bride is a lucky bride".
It's Alan B'Stard, played by Rik Mayall in the ITV comedy series the New Statesman. Originally, the seat was purely fictional - but came into being as Haltemprice and Howden in 1997, with a boundary re-drawing.
It was visiting the house where his mother was born in 1912, one of six children of a fisherman. "I didn't think it was appropriate for me to go around making an inspection," he said.
It's "Marry". Single workers at one of Iran's major state-owned companies have been told to marry by September or face being fired.
It's the capital of Lesbos, and alternative name for the island where residents have gone to court to try to reclaim their name from homosexual women. Both Dr John Sentamu and another fund-raising jumper wore the red helmets, and the Derby winner was New Approach.
It's 28 days under the Terrorism Act 2006, passed in response to the 7 July bombings in London, up from five days.
It was Gordon Brown, who was questioned about his view on the winner, who had lied on his CV.
