Struggling with the last five
6.1 might be about the Argentinian Rugby team, but Buenos Aires really doesn't fit with the "Ben" theme
6.3 doesn't seem to refer to a person ("what" rather than "who"), but I have no clue
8.5 must refer to some literary work, but I cannot find it
15.3 seems to be literary, nautical, and has a Bristol connection, so is probably from a nautical novel
16.2 seems remarkably vague, but the theme seems to be exiled/deposed/moved rulers
Any ideas?
