    20. Peter Dinklage plays Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones.
    25. Guess the year - 1932.
    29. I think it's the Thermosphere - must admit I came across this while checking to see if a guess of mine was right, it wasn't!

    I also thought I knew what state the Bates Motel was in and discovered its real location while trying to confirm I was correct - turns out I was almost 3,000 miles out .

    20 and 25 are correct. 29 is not the answer on the card..

    As a follow on to the London Airport question. Luff is actually closer to Lille than it is to London, and something else I discovered by accident recently when I was looking for something on google earth, but there are 7 Airports that include London in their title! 5 are obvious, Lydd is obviously a bit obscure, but there’s 1 that is even more off the scale, and possibly an 8th that doesn’t use the name, but anecdotal evidence suggests they did at sometime in the past!

    I forgot about Southend, in that case there are 8 definite and possibly a 9th.

    So in addition to Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stanstead, London City, Southend and Lydd that we already have. i recently discovered that Oxford airport is known as London Oxford, and Southampton evidently claimed once to be London Southampton.
