John the Painter was hanged in Portsmouth on 10 March, 1777. His crime was attempting to burn down Portsmouth and the Royal Navy dockyard. His execution holds which dubious distinction?

1st English bloke to be hung without a surname.

He offered to decorate the judges house & got community service.
I would have to say he was hung higher than any other person in UK history They did say he was well hung  |

The highest gallows ever erected in England. The mast of the captured French vessel Arethuse was erected in the yard beside the navy dockyard.
It was either 60 or 64 ft high. |

OK, as I have lots of technical issues with the MIbbit site it seems unlikely I’ll be able to host a quiz on there, so I will put up some
Of the questions (only 15 actually) I’d compiled over the past few months for anyone to have a go at. Just put the answers to as many as you can in one post and I’ll give the answers and add up the scores and give a result in, say, 24 hours or so. No googling please, just makes a farce of it all, oh and try not to copy. 1 "OLD TJIKKO" IN SWEDEN IS (AS BRIEFLY AS YOU LIKE) AT 9550 YEARS OLD THOUGHT TO BE THE OLDEST WHAT IN THE WORLD? 2 WHO WAS CONVICTED OF MURDERING SANDRA RIVETT? 3 FOR WHAT DID MARY BALE HIT THE HEADLINES IN COVENTRY AND NATIONALLY IN AUGUST 2010? 4 HOW OFTEN DO A CLOCK'S HOUR AND MINUTE HANDS OVERLAP? 5 WHICH CITY HAS THE MOST BUILDINGS (2354) OVER 100m HIGH.

WHICH IS MISSING? 12 WHO RETIRED FROM FOOTBALL IN 1991 AGED JUST 26 DUE TO INJURY. HE LATER BECAME A PODIATRIST? 13 THERE IS A RANKING SYSTEM FOR INTERNATIONAL FOOTBAL CALLED ELO RATINGS. THE HIGHEST SCORE EVER ACHIEVED BY A TEAM BY THIS RANKING METHOD IS 2166. FROM WHICH COUNTRY DID THIS TEAM COME? 14 FROM WHAT, AS BRIEFLY AS YOU LIKE, ARE PRISONERS, MOST FISHERMEN, AU PAIRS AND UNPAID VOLUNTEERS EXCLUDED?
