that was c+p btw.
I copy and pasted also.

I've looked this up, as we had a discussion at work the other day and I insisted it was a dipthong and someone else said it was a ligature.

Think Isty gets to go next whatever the answer.

pretty sure it is all three of those, ligature is used in typography where two blocks were fused.

next: what is the world's most-watched gameshow? (in terms of weekly global audience.)

20,000,000 people in this country watched the royal wedding yesterday, how many of those watched it on the BBC?

I'd say about 9 million odd...Considering people there and it spread across a few channels but thinking BBC would be most popular

The BBC were boasting the other night - was it 19m?

Anyway, I was out with Bob, doing a little run around, and didn't see any BBC in the pubs we went in - it was all ITV apart from one Sky.

Was quite surprising.

19million, 95% and itv didn't show any adverts which cost them 8million in revenue, £8 per viewer.

Right I'm sure I typed 16m, so I think some mod has been editing my posts....

Anyway I'm not one to complain so, as it is the World Championship snooker final today, lets have a question based around that.

Who are the only 2 unseeded players to win the World Championship? (Lets say in the Crucible era, as I have no idea what actually happened regarding seeding years ago).
