Hospice Films Dingbats

[Of10stuck]

I am having fun with the newly distributed Pendleside Hospice Dingbats but am tearing my hair out in particular at nos. 18, 24, 40, 46 and 48. ANY pointers or clues would be gratefully received.

[scorpiojo]

My other suggestion was for the clue you numbered as 43...

[smouse]

Some of us feel that a good quiz is one were you spend days and weeks trying to find an answer
and Mamylynne as I could see wasn't having a go at you in any way

[mallyh]

18 another way to say mail from a murderer.

[Of10stuck]

Thank you mallyh. I went out for a breath of fresh air! All I wanted was a clue to unblock my thinking in a few areas from some friendly folk not lectures, albeit brief lectures, from 'helpful folk' who always seem to want the last word. I'm SO pleased I don't do any Social Media or other 'sociable' things. Cracked that one now so onwards and upwards.........

[mallyh]

thankyou Of10stuck (love your name lol)im having a go at 24

[mallyh]

24 there is a polly toynbee this may help with the answer ,still working at it xx

[Of10stuck]

Bless you mallyh! Yes, I've been down that avenue (cul de sac!) - She is a columnist for the Guardian. The actual thing underlined is:- e. Ga7 Ms Toynbee. It also looks like 'eager' but I can't link that to any films, Polly or Columnist and is it really a number 7? Eeek! Been having some R&R in the garden instead!

[mallyh]

all i can come up with for 24 is ...guardian of the galaxy .....ga7 is a phone.

[mallyh]

sorry the s vanished guardians of the galaxy

[scorpiojo]

Try Mel Gibson films

[mallyh]

i looked at the war one but cant work the first part out x

[scorpiojo]

I'm confused by the clue lol..I was putting the G bit first x

[scorpiojo]

...I bet there's a POARD in this lol x

[mallyh]

yes see the ga and polly bit but teh rest is a @@@@@

[Of10stuck]

Thank you so much for even trying to help scorpiojo and mallyh. I've just logged in and seen your discussions - though it's ratified just how limited I am! I didn't understand what you were saying to each other. I had no idea a ga7 was a phone (though I do now that I've looked it up) and still didn't find any connection with the clue even after searching through Mel Gibson films on Google. I've amused myself this morning buying plants at a garden centre and think I will give up quizzing for gardening! It's not so challenging or frustrating.

[mallyh]

we were talking about a film... first world war in turkey starring mel gibson ending sounds like pollyx

[scorpiojo]

..and if you want to know what POARD was, have a read of this:

[mallyh]

can you tell us if the a-g is in a row or verticle and where the ga7 and ms toynbee are written x

[Of10stuck]

Oh Scorpio Jo! I have just re-read all the threads and wondered what you were talking about when you suggested the answer to Q43. I had NO idea of the connection when I saw your answer until I started 'working backwards'! Perhaps I won't garden this afternoon - maybe I will apply myself again!

[scorpiojo]

Glad you saw that :)
