The 100 years war lasted 116 years (bloody history lessons)

Cat gut is from the intestine of a sheep or goat (bloody biology)

King George VI first name was Albert and no I haven't seen The King's Speech

Not sure on the rest without cheating  :-[

saw it yesterday - seems he was a very underrated monarch - a reluctant king who held this country together during the war, dont know how accurate the film is tho, or why the queen mum (helena b carter) didn't want the story told until she'd popped her clogs as they come out of it very well  :y
