double dilemma

[briansayers]

same letter for first and last words

last four ,desperate now

stroked vienna on the box 6,6

mo,s opposites provide a story 4,5

followed sheppard to see 5,5

8,5 or "jealousy" a novel read with direction.

thanks

[stuckagain]

Stroked vienna on the box is Rupert Rigsby (rising damp) and i think mo's opposite provides a story is Sour Sweet (book by Timothy Mo)

Do you have the answer to Q72, gained national recognition on 17th april 1957? (it's killing me slowly!)

[Quizmonkey]

Griffith Gaunt (or Jealousy)

[stuckagain]

Does any one know q 70, stiff buy 196 - in origional identity (7,13)?

I cant make maurice micklewhite fit!

[briansayers]

thanks stuckagain,stick jr after surname.its his proper name

[briansayers]

re no 72 still waiting myself along with a few i know.its driving us all mad.whoever gets it wins in my opinion and only altruism will make them reveal it!

[bobobalde111]

what are the letters for missing clues

[bobobalde111]

daniel defoe wrote about a sheppard

[briansayers]

thanks bobobalde but daniel has six letters.the question we are agonising about was last posted on 29/11/05 under double trouble; its about 1957 and the only memorable thing that happened was sputnik!

[Quizmonkey]

Is it definitely Sheppard (the name) or shepherd??

[Quizmonkey]

The 1957 one sounds like it should be the Grand National winner but it obviously isn't.

[briansayers]

quizmonkey,thanks for responding.it,s definitely sheppard.i,ve spent all afternoon reading about john sheppard who was followed to the gallows by john wild. all good stuff.iquite forgot i was doing a quiz!

[briansayers]

bobobalde111.i,ve sussed sheppard(bishop of liverpool) followed by james jones. i see the see now doh

[briansayers]

question 72

the answer must be PRINCE PHILIP.the hard part is making it fit the 7 letter clue.some web sites give him two lls which is what i intend to do.has any one out there got the facility to eyeball the actual announcement that invested the duke to a prince in 1957 ?

[newquizzer]

Not sure about answer to Mo's oposites.

I've two further questions I cannot fathom

Q31 Festival on the Gulf 6,7

Q93 National winning jockey whose son followed with a triple crown success

[briansayers]

newquizzer,turn up double dilemma in category search for 27 11 05 for your answers. i,m happy with mo answer.

i may be wrong about prince philip.i believe answer is social service.can anyone confirm this and put us all out of our misery?

[newquizzer]

Also agree with Mo!
