0) All three
1) Is it red? Mostly no, but I'm guessing it must have red bits in it somewhere.
2) Do people throw it recreationally? Neither recreationally nor otherwise.
3) It it alive? Neither now nor never.
4) Much, much bigger than the biggest bread bin I've ever seen.
5) Have I got one. No, there is only one, but I do use it sometimes.
6) Does it have wheels. I imagine there will be some wheels somewhere, but to say yes would be misleading.
7) Not as big as a planet.
8) The internet? No, it's an object, a thing, something you could touch, nothing conceptual: I'm a housewife not a physicist.
9) Is it accessible to all? I feel certain it has a very open accessibility policy.
10) You can go inside it.
11) It is a building
12) Is it something created/operated by the Government? Yes/No
13) Is it a museum? No
14) A store? No
15) Your reasoning is sound, but no, not the Royal Albert Hall.
16) Do people live there? No. Although there are times when if you were looking for Mr Geg you would stand more chance of finding him there than at home.*
17) As you were. As far as I know Mr Geg has never been banned from using any Government or public building. I have removed a point for the second matter, which, as you are fully aware, is subject to a Press Embargo. I'm off to consult Lawyers.
18) Is it one of those places where sport is perpatrated? Occasionaly but I don't think that is what it is best known for. In fact, I had to look it up to check for sure.

I'm back and I have to tell you all that I don't know where I've been : what's more I swear I don't know where Mr Geg goes when he isn't there!!

Twenty Question mark! (Does that mean anything?)

Someone, possibly Peter Venkman, said "May I propose a new round of twenty questions? And the winner should take over as the new answerer? And to be clear, it does not have to be any of an animal, vegetable, or mineral."

So it looks as if Geg has won this round.
If she wins three in a row, does she get to keep the orb and sceptre?

Argh! I thought of the Dome but kept eliminating for bizarre reasons. Well done, Geg! We're having your own copies of the Sceptre and Orb made as honorary Champion. You also get a giant inflateable Millennium Dome to go in the garden.

It depends: Were you hoping for us to see a large zit?

O.K. that's quite enough negativity about the lovely dome. I rather love the improbabilty of its success.

Easy one this time
