Thanks to those who answered . I was in a quandry as to whether a mosquito was classed as an animal or an insect.I also thought of Michael Collins but according to google he was known as the big fellow. The ss Savannah was regarded as the 1st to cross the atlantic but the ship was bought in a boat yard and adapted so no designer, but asking around everyone was under the impression that Brunel designed the 1st steamship to cross though it was actually the 3rd. As to the comedian I'll go with shaneystar if no-one else comes up with another answer.

Thank you all for your input, just need to decide on the answers.

It cannot be Ian Paisley, he is NOT an Irish Nationalist. I know Dr. Paisley is referred to as the 'big man' but he is BRITISH and represents the Democratic Unionist of Northern Ireland in Westminster

Good luck hope you win
