I knew some of the one's Paul has answered, and the only one I can add is 9) Anger. These are the nine circles of hell from Dante's Inferno.

It is 'genus'.

It is Potsdam, why? (I know you must know it, otherwise it's a hell of a guess!).

Series of meetings between Stalin, Churchill, and FDR/Truman to plan strategy during WWII and the peace after.

Well, I was pretty sure one of you antipodean types would get the current Australian Premier, correct.

Budapest is not right for number one, I'm afraid. Both 1 and 2 are sport related.

Bilbo1967 · 01-30-2012, 05:32 PM

Yes, Olympic venues from 1920 onwards.

No. 2 is sport and probably of less interest to people in the US.

Shayne Parkinson · 01-30-2012, 05:52 PM

No. 2 looks like football - winners of the World Cup?

It is indeed winners of the World Cup. The first four winners in fact. The next winner was......?

However, feel free to answer if you want, but I declare it to be pdurrant's turn!
