Morning Christine Yes No. 24 is correct. How are you today. I'm having a break from the decorating. Trying to steam the wallpaper off the hall ceiling. I've left the steamer on it for a while so its easier to come off. Just have to check it doesn't fall off the ladder! Aileen xxxx

Hi John Morning. Had a good day? Debate time is it......... 1917 the Tsar abdicated. Lenin became chairman after the provincial government was overthrown. He was shot in 1918. Made Stalin General Secretary in 1922 and died in 1924. 1040 was the year Lady G got goose bumps, which is the same year that Macbeth took over the Scottsh throne. 870 is the year I had for Mohammed. 1730 was I believe the first Irish famine, over a 100 yrs before the 1840s famine which most people associate with. There are 16 more unanswered: 1,3,6,7,9,11,12,14,16,17,18,20,22,24,34,37,39 Aileen xxxx

Aileen - my encyclopedia gave 1922 for Lenin; with Irish famine over the years 1845-50 Jeeves verified. Two dates were given 1040 and c.1045 for Lady G. 571c for Mohammed an earlier date being 570.
