got the other 2 right away ,anotheray thanks, am going back over now and not happy with what i've got for nos. 10 and 20. so will be looking for clues again.

got no. 10. from an earlier clue thanks, but is there a word "laurelled" for the tree question?

hi heather39 The answer is not only something that can be used as a building material but also a type of rock. It comprises a word for types of trees + a word for a 'character' of sound.

Has everyone but me found the answer to 34? Clue please for'Run! Big cat is alongside Virginia Lambert, a big boisterous woman' Does it end in 'val' -American state +initial L ?

having finished the whole thing this morning & sent it off without a copy,and since we are bound not to reveal too much here,all I can tell you is that the LARGE BOISTEROUS WOMAN can be googled (I'd forgotten the exact answer myself,and I'd never heard the word before,either)"she" begins with an R and ends in an L,I believe the abb. for a US state is involved,and apparently the word may come from the name of a place just over the border from here in the Spanish Pyrenees that is famed as the place where Roland,Count of Brittany,was killed by the Basques at the time of Charlemagne (late 8th Century)and is also on the most famous pilgrim path of St James crossing the mountains on the way to Santiago de Compostela!The word you are looking for is not quite identical with the place name,but very similar.So there---happy hunting!!!

Postscript:sorry,nothing to do with US,just abb for run+lynx+shortened woman's Christian name (tho' I don't know the character mentioned,I seem to remember you can google her,too,if you'll excuse my French...)

Many thanks for help with (34), Greedy Kite. I should have remembered my Chaucer - begging your Pardon(er) !!!

johnnyboy, thanks for your clues. something to think about, but looking at them has given me a headache already! i'll have a go though! the way the brain's working today it'll take all night.

johnnyray. i think i've got it!!! only think. beginning with "l".

st End could you pot your opponent's ball? (11) - can only think of limehouse but it is too short and doesn't seem to have any connection to snooker or billiards. I know that other clues have been given for both but am still stuck!
