Thanks Bugloss2009 - that just leaves Q65.  I don't think it can be 5 Lords-a-leaping because that comes again further on in the quiz somewhere from Q89 - Q100.

Message to Slugkiller - Will you be posting the answers anytime soon? ;D
Just wanted to say thanks to Slugkiller for this quiz, I've had a lot of fun doing it and will certainly pass it on (especially if you can provide the answers sometime). :-*
