[zigadebo]

Need the US states that these are clues for. Thanks in advance:

Honour Amongst Thieves
Exploding Osmannite
Horsehair
Nicolas Sarkozy's Sunbed

[sr457]

Still struggling with 'Ta!' and 'Switch Off Saw.' Hmmm.

[jenar23]

Does anyone have The Bottom Of A Tin?

[mrshd]

Kansas (can's ass)

[jocknroll]

Stuck on the same two as sr457. It's doing my head in!

[mrshd]

Me too jocknroll...got any thoughts? I'm thinking its not a saw you cut with...

[jocknroll]

Not getting anywhere. "Ta!" just seems too obvious.

[dajobe]

I'm thinking "Switch Off Saw" might be Oregon - horror gone, Saw the horror film series...

[mrshd]

Any suggestions on the next lot:
Motorway Man
A Chiming Mess
Specialist Subject - 'Only Fools And Horses'
Heaven With A Heavy Cold

[bulliver]

a chiming mess = Michigan (anagram of 'a chiming')

[bulliver]

Heaven with a Heavy Cold could be Nevada ('Nirvana' spoken with a heavy cold)?

[jaykay1]

Motorway Man - Rhode Island??? (Road / [no man is an] Island) - or it could be something to do with the political term for a type of voter - can't see a link with any of the states there though...

Specialist Subject - 'Only Fools And Horses' - Delaware (Del [Boy] / aware)

[bulliver]

Motorway Man = Rhode Island - (sounds like) 'road' + (Isle of) 'Man'

[zigadebo]

Any ideas on Da!

[QuizzyWhizzy]
