Have only just registered and hope that someone can help me with
82. Someone's Biography included the comeback of the writer.

Hi annarbor.
82. Try reading the clue backwards and you will find 5 consecutive letters that are the name of a writer. Hope this helps.

Many thanks winnie. Easy when you know how!

88. Box wood at the back of theatre.

I have several possible answers for this one, and am not happy with any of them! Would appreciate a clue.

Bit difficult to give a clue. It's almost the same as the middle name of the man who invented television with one letter less.

Thanks lady bee, excellent clue. That's me finished - one more check through and I'll send it off.

down to my last stubborn five, some of which I have already received excellent clues for but cannot get them. 77, 92, 98, 31 and 70. Driving me mad!

Just going out but one to think about

92. What is a 'boater'. Google your answer

OK tirednan try these clues
77.book = novel + l (light) + o (opera)
92.Think of another meaning for 'a boater' which is actually a name for a summer show.
98. Love = 0 + per ( according to) + a + lass (girl)
31. Bur ( rub backwards) + let (allow) + ta ( soldiers.
70. Think of gin as 'trap' and thro' what do you make an entrance
Hope these help.

Thanks so much winnie...so dense...31 had tried every abbrev. for soldiers except TA...92 had got that answer but did not realise it was a summer theatre, have nearly worn Wikipedia out looking!...98 had not got the per....70 had no idea....77 was stupidly looking for book title. Anyway, done now. Check for spelling mistakes when copying it out and then wait for the next one.
