AnswersAnswers
  1. It's couple number 3, Frank and Anita Milford, aged 100 and 99, who on Thursday celebrated their 79th Valentine's Day as a married couple.
  2. It was Rowan Williams, whose Synod speech on Monday tried to patch things up with the Church of England after saying what he did about Sharia law. Meanwhile, the Nottinghamshire hospital apologied for its mix-up on Saturday. And the Department for Communities and Local Government said it made a "regrettable error" on Wednesday.
  3. It's Tilda "Best Supporting Actress" Swinton, hobbled by her Dior dress at the Baftas on Sunday. Over at the Grammys, Amy scooped five gongs - but her US visa arrived too late for her to attend.
  4. Rare footage of a white stag in the Scottish Highlands was released on Monday.
  5. It's "Love me don't" - so far. The rest are but a smattering of the bad puns used this week alone as the couple took their divorce fight to court in London.
  6. It's petrol and diesel, up 19% in the past year. Foods like dairy and grains are up to 15% more expensive, and public transport is up 6%. But other items, such as appliances and second-hand cars, are cheaper. The UK rate of inflation rose to 2.2% on Monday.
  7. It's a private life, said Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti on Tuesday. England's children's commissioner also backs a ban.
