AnswersAnswers
  1. It's "I am far short of perfect" and the golfer also apologised to his family for his "transgressions". Of the others, apology 1 is from US presidential hopeful John Edwards; apology 3 is David Letterman; and apology 4 is Bill Clinton.
  2. It's Wales - 2009 was its second wettest November. And for the UK as a whole, 2009 tops the list of wet Novembers.
  3. It's Sirri, an island about 100km off Dubai. The five-man crew were held in the Revolutionary Guards' messroom.
  4. It's One-ders, which won a competition run by an Australian news website to find a name for the next decade. Not that there's any agreement about what to call THIS decade yet - noughties, naughties, OOs...
  5. It's Reese Witherspoon, who as Avon Global Ambassador visited Parliament to support the cosmetic giant's campaign to help abused women. After messing up her name, Mr Brown praised her moving words at filmmaker Anthony Minghella's funeral... but that was Renee, not Reese.
