clare .. thankyou so much for your clues.

There's just one more I'm not certain about, and would like a clue please.

71. Ink Dye. (6,10) (Could be a lifesaver)

thanks again {R}

Hi Rachael,
Yes 71 is another really clever one. An anagram of ink dye for the first word. The 2nd word is another word for anagram.
The whole would almost certainly be a life-saver
Hope you get it - good luck

thanks again clare ... finished now (well, I have 100 possible answers!) good luck R

Hi, me again. I'm still worried about no. 69 (sing, ting or ring? They bowed to the audience). I thought, as several of you do, that it's 'string quartet'. It would be nice.... but could someone talk me through why this is right? There's no element of 'four' in it, which I'd expect; why is it in the past tense? - string quartets still do 'bow to the audience'- and even the first part doesn't quite fit. What am I missing?

I thought the inclusion of "bowed" also related to the bow used for playing the strings of a violin? But not certain why it's in past tense.

Yes, Sarumite, I agree with the 'bowed', which is why my first reaction (and maybe it is right) was string quartet. Another possibility is archery, which would explain the past, but I can't think of anything other than 'tournament'(or Robin Hood) for that. It has to be an ART not a TRA, I think, from the total numbers.

Hi ! Im sorry, but its me again !!As ever, asking for clues !!
45. Greek character swallowed rupee and mother took one here for treatment. (6,4)
83. Sir Richard's dream is to have room to move. (5,6) Could I be right in thinking it might be to do with Cliff ?
96. Any one of three constiuents of Anthea. (7)
97. Maybe the setter's own representation on canvas? (4,8)
I would be so grateful for any pointers you can give me ( not too obscure please !!!!)

97 What do you call a picture of yourself?

Brilliant anniec, why couldnt I think of that ?!! Thank you !!

For 83 you have the wrong Sir Richard. You need the other one and his ambitious project.
