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.
betty

Betty - the answer to 83 is in " into question" !
I also thought oranges were half time fruits so not going anywhere with 61. Still stuck with 11 and 16 on page 1 and on page 2 nos 31, 33, 37,54, 56, 59 (aqua ???), 60, 61 (as previously mentioned) 62 and 67 (poultry????) so if you have any ideas I would love some hints please.

Sorry everyone. I made a mistake . It's the answer to 73 I still can't get. "Head soprano vaguely unwell on the seafront."

59 is "Aqua" + i + 3 letter name of drink ... anagram.
62. Anagram of "pig breeder" without British.

Hope this helps.

Any ideas on 44. Instrument players used - about time!
betty

Thanks Betty. Got those two now.
Re 73 - name of a Charles Dickens Headmaster and 44 - Aussie/British band.

Hope that helps you.

Hi haeremai18 and betty re 44
Try and anagram of players + t ( about time)
= old instrument like a zither.
I am watching this thread because I have finished with 51 P and 49Q !!!!

thanks WINNIE. Must have got it wrong for 44 as my answer was what goes back and forth in a clock which is also name of Aussie band!!!

Haven't got my final tally yet as still have 10 to go. 43 "Ps" and 47 "Qs" !

11. You need love (O) into another word for ways.
16. A 6 letter word for advert + n (direction).
31. Another word for sufficient.
33. Left as in at sea.
59. You are almost there, what does Jack Tar drink
67. Anagram of supply at.
Hope this helps
