Hi, i thought of Germany for the answer to Q88 because "any" might mean forsake, and also i don't think korea has any deserts. I thought of Noble Loire as an answer to Q43 from the Noble Loire Valley in France but im really not sure about the answers, do you have any ideas for them, thanks.

[fiction-factory]

I don't see Germany at all. Where does the the boy's name fit in? I can't see forsake being ANY either.
I would think again abot Korean something (don't think it's border)

[kelster]

Hi, i thought Germany was wrong for an answer, i just thought man because it might be another name for boy but it sounds completely wrong, im trying to look for Korean borders for the answer but unfortunately im having no luck, do you have any more ideas or answers for them, thanks,

[fiction-factory]

>88. Kernel of the matter; boy's name, forsake. Answer i thought: Germany

After discounting Germany earlier I can now see a case for it if the clue said something like forsake 4 or D, sincy the boy's name could be Andy- so GERM + AN(d)Y

If the kernal is core then maybe the answer is simply Korea -sounds like Core Ia, where the Ia comes from Ian (boy) with the N (abbrev for Name) forsaken/given up

[kelster]

Hi, thankyou for your help with that answer i think it definitely must be Korea especially with the foresake clue omitting the n for the boy's name. Unfortunatley though im still really struggling with some of the other questions listed below and im really not sure if the answers ive thought of listed next to them are correct, do you have any more ideas or answers for them, i would be really thankful and grateful again for all the help, thanks,

43. Honourable; French flower.
72. Home of red hens? Answer i thought: Rhode Island
75. Getting fired; clothing; 4th vowel. Answer i thought: Sacramento
92. Mother; hairfix; 1; 15; Not crooked Answer i thought: Strait of Malacca

43 Honfleur

[fiction-factory]

I can't immediately see why Home of red hens=Rhode Island. Can you explain it please?
I'm not sure of sacramento- sac may be right but it's the wrong tense, O is right but I don't see where clothing fits in

[Tilly2]

Rhode Island Reds are a breed of chicken.

[Tilly2]

Raiment for clothing?

[fiction-factory]

Starit of Malacca looks pretty good-I can see strait/straight, ma and lacca (sounds like laquer). Not sure of 1,15 though (A and O are the 1st and 15th letters)

[fiction-factory]

Thanks Tilly- I agree with both of your explanations so the answers are right

[kelster]

Hi, thankyou for all the help again, i thought of the answer Rhode Island because i thought hens were associated with Rhode Island but it's chickens, and also for the Sacramento answer i thought raiment was a type of clothing and sac to get fired but im really not sure about the answer, do you have any ideas and answers for these, thanks,

[Tilly2]

We've explained, Kelster.

[kelster]

Hi, sorry yes i got the replies mixed up, does anyone have any ideas and answers for the Rhode Island question, thanks,

[Tilly2]

Rhode Island Reds are a breed of hens/chickens

[fiction-factory]

Yes, see Tilly's answer.

[kelster]

Hi, is the answer Rhode Island or it something associated with Rhode Island and red hens,

[Tilly2]

:-)

[kelster]

Hi, i thought the answer was Rhode Island is it correct, thanks,

[Tilly2]

Yes.
