Betty, re 87 your thoughts correct re anagram. Answer makes me think of Bay of Biscay. 94 second word is wise saying or proverb

brainfreeze thankyou so much, am starting to get the feel how this puzzle works now, am a beginner.

can anyone give me any help with no. 39 86 and 89 for me to work on tomorrow? please.would be greatly appreciated

Lisalippy:
39. The answer is a phrase which means "just the thing". It also featured in very early radios - try following up on crystal sets.
86. This is the nickname of a very famous broadcasting organisation. You will then see how the clue fits in neatly.
89. Captain Cooker is the animal. Then a word for a very long time. Then a word for appointment (as in job). The whole thing is a sort of airmail (not exactly what you would think of first!)
Paul

There are some great clues here but am still stumped on two - 51 and 72.
Any more clues would be gratefully received !

thanks paul..thats great. will keep me occupied later today!

51. Think religion.
72. A phrase meaning "Shut up!". Itemise the components of the lower half of your face (and remember it is "your", not "ones").

Thanks Paul
Got 72 now and get the religious thing so will keep trying.
Maybe a long walk with the dog is called for.

Paul, re 72 you and I must have different Chambers dictionaries as mine definitely says "one's" and not "your"

Brainfreeze - we have the same Chambers, which certainly says "one's", but the clue says "your". The phrase containing "your" can be found in slang dictionaries and, as the compilers say, Chambers is not their only source. For the moment, I am tempted to stick with "your" - but it could be the tie breaker. Does anyone else have a view?
