Campanilla. WOW!! what smashing tips. I was just going to start, wont bother now yours toooooo good.You probably saw the posting that mum and I have finished. did use buckets instead of bucke's but not that happy having to change answer to 6.6. making two errors in one question.

Hi Lizzyminto, I hate Sunday afternoons especially when it's raining, which it has been, so it gave me something to do. You really got it finished quickly (although mum probably had something to do with it). I know what you mean about Whisky galore, but I've decided to stop thinking about it anymore!! Doesn't matter anyway I've already sent it off! If you're interested Billericay Lions Club also have a downloadable quiz which is 100 love songs with initials of songs and artists. I wasn't too keen when I started but I'm getting into it now. It's at wwww.billericaylions.com/quiz.htm. Best of luck with the other ones.

Campanilla. Thanks for tips about lions quiz, will give it a go but like you doesnt sound like my thing... we will see.. Mum is an avid reader much more so than me. her memory is also farrrrr better than mine.Its really good to have someone to bounce questions off. we always do them separately but we always end up needing the same answers, good luck will the house and novel quizzes speak soon bye................

Thanks campanilla. The clues were spot on; most came straight away, others after a little foraging.

However, in going down my list I forgot these:-
8. Well known at Tottenham 4,2,3,4
28. Bites a-plenty here 3,8,5
58. 18th century Ann of Cleves 4,8
Also you gave me a clue for 77, but I still need help for
76. Spaniard in the water 3,5,5,3,3

I have started going through the Billericay Lions Club list so you can expect some exchange here too.

Glad they were of help, here's a few more.

8. Novel by Howard Spring, think Tottenham
28. Think what bites in summer in hot countries and where they might be.
58. What was the nickname of Anne of Cleves?
76. Difficult to give a clue, so author Mikhail Sholokhov.

Hope they help.

Actually the Billericay one is not nearly as hard as it looks at first, I wasn't sure when I started but I am quite enjoying it.

campanilla, Last four clues again pointed the way and its so obvious, but I wouldn't have got the answers without the authors.
Still stuck on 'Nowhere almost reversed' - any further pointers?

Try Samuel Butler's Utopian satire. When you see it, it leaps out of the page!
