Alright, I'll guess Saturday then, though I've still no idea why.

It's not saturday either. I'm not sure if the answer actually has any logic at all!

I'd have thought friday, cos it's nice to have a bit of spending money at the weekend!
Harking back to classic comedy again...

I'll go for Patrick Troughton, since he's got an amusing name.

This one might be a bit trickier, if you remember in school, you used to remember acronyms such as ROYGBIV (colours in a rainbow) and SOHCAHTOA (mathematical bollocks).
What would the acronym FATLAD help you remember?

Good old acronyms. I know this, and it's for the counties of Northern Ireland.
I'll set another easy acronym question. What would OILRIG help you remember?

Wouldn't say it was that easy, unless you did A-level Chemistry.
Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain.. (what you lose or gain I can't quite remember, though i'm guessing it must be ions, electrons or something).
This might well turn out to be an urban myth, but Sir Isaac Newton, as well as being a very famous scientist and professor, was also a Member of Parliament. However, he's only recorded as having made one speech in the Commons.
What was the "speech" about?
