AnswersAnswers
  1. It's Dennis Wise. The doodle of the three men fetched £260 at auction.
  2. The UK prime minister gave Mr Pinera 33 bottles of British beer and pint glasses, along with one early edition of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, which was inspired by a Scottish castaway on a Pacific island off Chile.
  3. It's Mary Bale, as described by district judge Caroline Goulborn. Bale was caught on CCTV dumping Lola in a wheelie bin. Rooney refused a new contract at Man Utd, while Ms Dorries was criticised by MPs after saying 70% of her blog was fiction.
  4. It's 169ft 3ins from the bottom of the pedestal to the top of Nelson's hat. Built in 1843, it was intended to be 200ft but was always thought to be 185ft. Its actual height was only revealed in 2006, using a laser. In a separate development, a survey of children revealed many thought Lord Nelson was a French football captain.
  5. It's "savings, orderly budgets, and equitable rebalancing".
  6. It was the Harrier jets. Responding to Labour leader Ed Miliband in the Commons, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "I accept there is a gap in carrier strike. The alternative would be to keep the Harrier but not the Tornado." Meanwhile union Unite said it would put BA's new proposals to members, and pension protests in France continued.
  7. It's live. Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll appeared in court charged with assault, and was granted bail on condition he lives with club captain Kevin Nolan.
