    And again, very close in one way, but wide of the mark in another:pac:

    OK, as no-one seems to be getting any closer
    It's not Martin Early
    It's not Dan Martin


    ....it's Martyn Irvine, who took the World track championship scratch race title in 2013

    So between Irish Zeus, Keane and Bonzodog we have the Neverending Story answer, contributions of questions from any or all would be appreciated. feargale's question about stamps is still open and Beasty needs a replacement question.

    Go for it lads! We will have an avalanch, a tsunami of questions!

    OK, another cycling one
    Shay Elliot was the first Irish cyclist to win stages in each of the Grand Tour events (Tour de France, Vuelta Espana and Giro d'Italia)

    Who is the only other Irishman to do so?

    Sorry, I forgot I owed a question, while I was waiting for the name of Atreyu's horse.

    So, what's an ouroboros?

    It’s a snake eating it’s tail, a symbol of eternity

    I had thought it was just the one dollar bill, but open to correction. Apologies if I posted an incorrect question - done in a rush!

    Your question either way NH!

    I don't think I've ever seen any dollars in real life, ever. :D

    It is said that Nero played the violin as he watched Rome burn. If he had been playing an instrument at all it wouldn't have been a violin, which was invented much much later. So, what would he have been playing instead?

    I think anyone who has seen US dollars in real life would agree that they are the most boring, difficult to differentiate, tedious with their $1 bill that looks virtually identical to all the others, currency in the world. (In fairness maybe Chinese or Russian money is worse, but I haven't seen any of it :D )

    Lyre

    Of course he could have been simultaneously playing the eejit.

    Anyway I owe half a question. Which country issued two stamps honouring a military leader who led a revolt against that country?

    This one has been missed. Any takers? Need a clue or two (or three)?
