    1) This changes but at the moment: "Our flight path's a gradual descent from the firmament, I can tell by the tone of the letters you sent."

    2) Charles Dickens.

    4) A bar/club in the West End.

    5) All of them apart from Simon Hughes (don't ask for an explanation, I don't really know why).

    I can understand the deep knowledge of the corridors of power that an eight year old has. Maybe everyone missed the political insight that children have

    Maybe she was particularly affected by the cones hotline?
    Presumably his Spitting Image puppet gave her nightmares

    1 - "Easy when you're number 1" - Status Quo!

    2 - "John 'lofty' Wiseman" - His line on meeting me was "Son, there's not enough food in the forest for you!"

    3 - I would've worn a condom when I shagged your mother, Jonathan.

    4 - In the pub, I was watching the football. She asked one of my Rugby mates if everything was in proportion. I gave her my number and said "If you really want to find out, ring that number tomorrow!".

    5 - I really can't answer that one. They're all self serving bastards!

    Answer: You walked with me Footprints in the sand And helped me understand Where I’m going You walked with me When I was all alone With so much I no along the way Then I heard you say

    Answer: In a Car Park in Crayford. I had road rage and got out and started yelling obscenities at him.

    Nope - change the lyrics answer:

    Today I gotta take my bike
    'Cause once again the tube's on strike;

    For sitting on their arse all day,

    So I'm standing here in the pouring rain,
