gandolf34 - some of your queries would be answered by having a Chambers - perhaps a visit to your local library? If you're a fan of these Rainbow quizzes, it might be worth investing in a copy as so many words you think you know the meaning of, have another completely different meaning as well that the Rainbow setters seem to discover.

According to Chambers, sops do mean puddles. And if you were able to look up spoon there, a meaning would be 'to run before a gale..'

I have different answers for 45 and 33.

Hi folks, I need help with 19. Spoil arguments with north country companions (7). Also with 59. Tropical food fool dipped in wine (7).

19. 3 letter word for spoil + short word for arguments
59. I believe the root of this plant is used for tapioca - the fool is contained in a wine, sometimes used instead of champagne

Thanks Ladybee - I actually do have a Chambers, but it is currently in storage! At least that sorts out 41 and 93. Thought Got the chop was rather good for 45, but pretty sure my answer to 33 is right, so must be a better answer for 45 - will work on it….

gandolf34 - I also have 'got the chop' for 45 and don't see how you have the third word for no.33. I have a simple 4 letter vegetable which when reversed is a boat.

Hi everyone - I have been away for a few days and I am now catching up with the thread. I have only 5 clues to go now and any help would be appreciated.
44. Each year have nothing but a bread pulp (6)
74. Low calorie diet causes a lass in arcade to be become confused (6,5)
75. Criticise dull unfashionable pudding(8)
84. Which meat dish rises with cooking (5,4) and
95. One in the club has whip-round for cheese (9)
Thanks

74. Anagram of 'a lass arcade'

95. Three letter word for whip which surrounds a word to describe someone who belongs to a club and the whole thing is a nine letter cheese

The others have been mentioned and I think some answers given earlier in this thread.

Thank you lady bee - I had got no 95 in the meanwhile - but your clue confirmed.
I will go looking thro' the thread for the other clues and the help given.

any hints to solve the following would be much appreciated
31a banger -unfortunately going the wrong way on the motorway?
40 as she sipped her liquid food!
30 I am in a moment able to see the wordsmith
65 Rubbish! eastenders have a picnic

31. A type of sausage. A word for unfortunately (written backwards) and I think the first motorway.

40. Anagram of She Sipped Her.

Clues for the others have already been given on this thread.
