England to Host Rugby World Cup(s)

It's been announced on the same day that England will host the Rugby World Cup in 2013 (League) and 2015 (Union)! It's not really such a coup as there are really only two viable options for the Rugby League World Cup and, with only half a dozen options for the Union version, it was pretty much England's time again. Not wishing to lessen the achievements, though, just imagine the sporting events on our doorstep in the next decade; 2012 - Olympics (& Paralympics); 2013 - Rugby League World Cup; 2015 - Rugby Union World Cup; 2018 - FIFA World Cup??

Wednesday's questions are: -
  1. Who married Brad Pitt today in 2000?

  2. Spanish racing driver Fernando Alonso (right) was born today in 1981 and was Formula 1 World Champion in 2005 & 2006 driving for which team?

  3. What was the nickname of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini who was born today in 1883?

Il Duce-- Mussolini

Didn't even cheat. Just guessing.

If correct, what do I win?

Will work for money.

Last decent job sent overseas.

Too old for retraining and am physically unable to do the jobs of my youth.

Sniff.

And the illegals are still driving down wages and keeping rents high.
