new shoots quiz

[smouse]

Its probably me but I dont quite get it this time - well to be honest I dont quite get this quiz a lot of the time!
If youre not doing it the theme is
collectively speaking - animal vegetable mineral etc
so
Part of an egg - yoke (oxen)
but then is
32 people of a country - just population or something more cyrptic
also cant do any of these
7 self pleasure of achievement
12 vital to mix
18 to guide by example before beginniners letter
35 prisoners made it this

Hope that makes sense to someone

I often find these clues rather odd, they're not like cryptic crossword clues and sometimes when I see the answers I still can't see how they work. Sorry Smouse can't help you with any of your clues.

[smouse]

Hi smouse
All I can think of at the moment for 32 is Colony or as you said it could be population

[teddysbears]

could 32 be native -as in native of speakers? cheers T

[smouse]

I shall go for colony seems to fit the collective bit more

has anyone put business for 3
and I have just seen I have band for 41 and 25

[teddysbears]

i have put choir for 25 cheersT

[smouse]

Yes I see choir but then does it relate the the theme is there a choir of something - have I lost the plot?
Dont answer that - lol

[smouse]

I suppose a choir of angels
still dont think I get this one completely

[teddysbears]

in my books it gives a choir of singer thats why i put choir looks like it is wrong .cheers T

[smouse]

No I dont think it is it says animla vegetable mineral etc so that fits in the etc as far as I am concerned

[smouse]

Well now I realise I am not alone - lol
