James Heitfeild is the lead singer of what band ??

Cant remember , its something hill isn't it ?

Wot? It was digitally at a quarter to eleven in the morn. I know that much.

Not sure if I'm thinking of the right one but there was a battle fought near Battle Abbey

At last!! I'm a military history anorak

It was fought on Senlac Hill, Battle Abbey was buit on the site during the 12th century.

Previous to the battle with William, Harold had fought his half-brother Tostig Godwinson and Harold Hadrada leading a Norse army at the battle of Stamford Bridge.

Bang on lads, so the battle of Hastings should actually be called the Battle of Battle

You're up braveheart.

I'm off to do a bit of collar.

I'll through one in, one Irish President has played rugby for a Provence, who was it and what Provence??

Bertie Ahern, Connacht.

Or Mary Mac - gotta be Leinster Ladyboys.

How'd I do?

Wasn't Bertie Ahern PM not President?

braveheart101 wrote:Wasn't Bertie Ahern PM not President?

He was braveheart In which case I'm done - I don't know any others. De Valera, Haughey & Fitzgerald were all PMs too.

Aye the were pj and one if them was president as well

One of De Valera, Haughey and Fitzgerald?

OK, it definitely wasn't Charles "chuckles" Haughey. De Valera was "president" before Ireland had presidents if you know what I mean? Late twenties or early thirties.

So it's got to be Fitzgerald, he was old enough to have played rugby and it be forgotten.

Fitzgerald, final answer.

As for the province, I think we can count Ulster out, I think I would know if a president had played for Connacht, so it's either Leinster or Munster....

Munster, final answer.

Pj right Provence, wrong President

Provence Hughie?... Typo, right?

Hughie, it weren't chuckles, it couldn't be. D.V WAS a president, but only of a committee before the Republic had proper presidents, I can't go on with the torment.

I'm a beaten man, I can't think anymore.

It was Dev, he played full back for munster three times and was president of Ireland from 25 June 1959 – 24 June 1973
