It's a double header.

Firstly, which team has won more European Cups than their own country's domestic league?

And for a Cardinal Point, what is the significance of the name of this thread?

forest?
est arrivé sounds like 8 5 (if you pronounce arrivé really wrong)

please tell me how many times i was wrong in five words and two numbers. (lots?)

Well done with the Forest one though it was a bit easy so you can't have the next question ... :p

The clue is in the thread subject and my strange use of capitalisation.

I've checked this at least 3 times to make sure I've not made a total arse of myself.

Astatine (At) has the atomic number 85.

It's odd that a subject I never continued after school holds far more interest than the subjects I flunked at uni (French, Politics and Economics for anyone considering the commercial suicide that would be publishing my biography).

Over to NM - good to see you about sir.

Ok. You may need your imaginations for this one. How did Dostoevsky's (sp?) father die?

Actually on reflection after a few youngs special this is too hard unless like UP you read it this morning: suffice to say he was murdered and he joined the "spirit" world in a different fashion than he expected
