35 deform a shell ... (6)
37..... but setter has depressing vertigo (6)
54 compiler from down south (6)
69 propel to small delta near the shore (7)

Thanks in advance for any help any happy new year to all

I can help with some of them, others I am still working on.

34. It's a man's hairstyle and a fish. If you come up with an answer and have Chambers, look it up for the other meanings.

37. It's a fish - how the setter describes himself + a word for depressing

54. Again referring to the setter/compiler. Who is he?

Thanks LadyBee learnt one new word defintion ....
but don't understand the references to the compiler.

The person responsible for this quiz - his 'name' is at the bottom of the quiz sheet!

Hi !!!
I can help with one or two but I am really struggling now !!!

21. Anagramme 2nd, 3rd & 1st letter of 4th words - continue with rest of 4th word and add a 4 letter facial feature ! ( I'm really sorry I am such rubbish at giving clues ! )

35. Find a 7 letter shell beginning with a and knock the a off - it's a fish !!

Sorry, can't help with others - am having trouble with the other clues that have been kindly given !
I know about Roger Whittaker but don't understand about losing second line ! Is it a fish ? Still working on 64 - think Christmas has addled my brain !!

Hi Polly Dee,

I am really confused as to which letters make up the anagram.
Are you taking those letters from each of the first four words - you say the rest of the 4th word but that's only 3 letters. Are you talking about 'feature'?

Roger was well-known for whistling so lose Second Line....to give a fish.

polly dee - I'm even more confused - I've got a 7 letter shell which when you remove the first letter is a fish but my answer begins with S - a very common food item -but you're saying it begins with A.

Sorry lady bee - I said I was rubbish!

21. Anagram the whole of the 2nd & 3rd words plus the 1 st letter of the 4th - ok so far ? Now use the u & r and add a facial feature. Hopefully you should get it now !!!

35. The 7 letter shell begins with 'a' - remove the 'a' and you will be left with a fish beginning with 'b'

I'm sure you're not as confused as I am !!

I still don't get how to lose the second line but I have seen a 'whistle ' fish .! And what on earth is the political assoc. ?

Got it! How on earth did you work it out in the first place?

Still working on the 'A' shell - I came up with Scallop and callop is a fish. They can't say it's wrong, can they?

Remove the S L, to get your fish.

Union!!

Thank you so much lady bee, why are the answers so easy when you know them !!
I worked back to front on 21 and got the 'feature' first !
Now, back to the shell - the shell begins with A and when you get rid of the A you will be left with a fish beginning with B -if you want me to tell you to save your power , let me know.

I still have loads I am working on - I'm finding this quiz extremely challenging !!!
