Last clue: indian Ocean. I'll give the answer tomorrow if nobody scores.

Malaysia?

Madagascar?

Seychelles?

Would say the Maldives but a few more years of global warming and they won't have any coastline left....

They do have a hell of a lot of small islands though

Maldives it is, with Monaco ranking second. Ironic since Monaco has the world's shortest coastline.

P.S. You're on, Beasty

Yep.

The Bay of Fundy, Canada at a height of 11.7m (38.4 feet)
The highest range in the UK , 3rd largest in the world is The Severn at 9.6m (31.5 feet).

Sorry Feargale, you should have stuck with your first thoughts.

What city holds the record for being the longest continuously inhabited city on earth?

looksee

I would guess its in Africa, and offer Cairo?

Damascus?

Jerusalem? Istanbul? Teheran? Not Rome, I don't think.

I'm sure I've heard the answer before, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

Beasty

That does beg a question as to what defined a city 2+ millennia ago......

...and no, that's not my question as I don't have an answer!

It said so on the road signs, Beastie, duh... :pac:

I would imagine it is any large settlement that has more than subsistence farming, some sort of centre of administration and people engaging in trades and arts. Interesting.

Beasty

Given the original Olympics go back so far I would hazard a guess at Athens

Harry Reynolds became a World Champion in a particular sport in 1896. Who was the next Irishman to take a senior World Championship in that sport (and a bonus point for the year)?

I'm guessing Wimbledon singles. There were a few Irish winners around that time. Next? James Cecil Parke? c. 1907?

Nice easy one:
Excluding bats, what is the only mammal native to Ireland which hibernates?

Hedgehog?

Oh good woman!! Of course!! How did I not think of that myself?

I wish the feckin' rabbits would hibernate, I am twitching about my new trees, not all of them have collars yet!

Correct. I was expecting somebody to say squirrel. They don't. They engage in dormancy which means they sleep mostly but waken from time to time to forage.

On second thoughts maybe wrestling. Would next up be Danno Mahony from Ballydehob c. 1945?

Of which novel is this the opening sentence:

"Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun."
