gandolf34 - he was the servant of Phileas Fogg from around the world in 80 days

Worked out no 20 now but any other help would be appreciated. See my previous post for numbers. Thanks.

28 involves a wll used slang term for a £
18 is the same word used twice - think croquet
16 i am struggling with myself
17 when in france.......

I am also struggling with 27

Thanks Crockett. To help you with 27, i think both words begin with P. The second one is another word for knock, then google this word for varieties of this.

Re my ones, (28) can see a 4 letter word beginning with Q for cash but can't see the rest? No 18 when I look up croquet, I find two words which rhyme but are not the same word. They begin with P and M. No. 17 can't see anything from your clue. Can you enlarge please?

Cheers for 27 I will work on that.

28 I suspect you have the right Q word for Pound which gives you the last 4 letters. The clue stars Left 1 ....

Reverse what you bang the balls through twice P P.

Perhaps I should have said when in French - that is the start of it.

Ok Crockett. Have now got nos 17 & 28 thanks. Re no.18 have reversed what you bang the balls through and get two words beginning with P but don't get the connection??!!

Any idea for no. 11??

Me again Crockett - just worked out no. 18. I had a word beginning with L for the croquet thingy reversed but then realised it should have been H!!

27. A punch of some kind could be a knock out blow.
18. Ring is maybe HOOP

Please can you help on Numbers 44, 61, 70 and 83.

Hi Betty
44 is an anagram (got thaqtone about an hour ago!)
61 look up 5 letter fruits
70 look up comic operas (G&S)
83 hidden word (and unlikely that you have heard of it).

thank you Nonplussed.
70. I have managed to find the comic opera - had been thinking of comedians!.
83. I tried looking up "pranova" since I assume this must begin with a P, but I'm getting nowhere. Can you help any more?
44. I tried anagrams for "used time" and "I players" but neither worked. Still trying that one.
61. Will work on the 5 letter fruit later. I thought oranges were eaten at half time but that obviously didn't fit.
