I got the carpenter question because people keep calling it the carpenter question.

I also got 11 besides that one.

I really need to brush up on my Prime Ministers.  :blush:

Is brushing up on your Prime Ministers an euphemism?

and the carpenter question (which I'm not sure about, either).

I just remember watching all those shitty reenactments from the History Channel with the mud huts and thatched roofs, so that's why I got it correct.

Game of Thrones is not reenactment.  :rolleyes:

Get your mind out of the gutter.  I'm not talking about lovingly stroking Lord Salisbury's puckernut with a camelhair brush, you fag.

Yes but one would argue that's a Renaissance interpretation of the title.

It helps to remember that United Kingdom is short for "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

:contract:  Which is why the question isn't misleading in the least.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
