money matters

[catfish]

I am stuck on my final two - I have answers, but am not very happy with them.

Q16: No more room for colonists once the final payment is received. (4,10) - I have an answer L... S........., but am not sure it is a well known phrase.

Q22: Anaesthetists got on the blower to get a very large sum of money. (9,7)

Thank you

Anaesthetists are the medics who knock you out before an operation

Blower is a slang term form a comms method developed by Alexander G Bell.

The whole phrase is often used to describe house prices or footballers salaries

[grasscarp]

sorry if you were expecting hints rather than suggested answers, but it didnt say.

Hi catfish, re 16, I think it is Full settlement

[Diane1954]

I agree with rogerr
if there is no more room then it is full

Would any kind soul give me a HINT for q 84 please?

Thanks
J.

84 anagram of pounds starts it, sorry thats the best i can do. the whole is a funny word!

[jodder]

84. The whole word is US slang for money and according to chambers is from a greek seashell used as currency.
Any chance of anyone giving me hints for 32 and 39 please.

[bibster]

2nd word for 39 is a fast train hope this helps if not let me know

[bibster]

32 the answer is in the sentence if you want more clues let me know

[shaneystar2]

32 ..look at the Greek alphabet for a character (letter)

Then carry IN..which will give you a heavy beast which charges .

[jodder]

Thanks bibster got 39, not sure about 32 is it Yugoslav money

[jodder]

Sorry shaneystar, have the greek alphabet in front of me but still not getting it!! Will have to sleep on that one . Thanks for your help

[jodder]

Must have woken up! got it at last. Thank you all so much.

[bibster]

sorry jodder i gave you the wrong clue for no 32.

[catfish]

Thank you everyone for your help - apologies for the delay in thanking you, but I have been offline for a few days. You've got me rethinking Q84 now though!

[catfish]

oops - I meant Q32, but I have it now - was focused on the wrong heavy beast!
