I don't seem to be getting anwhere with these clues, could anyone offer any help please?
1. Bird, once sporty, takes a weapon.
2. It's 3.50 next.
3. The lines of most draught.
4. The girl met John's love.
Unfortunately the number of letters are not given.
Any help would be gratefully received.

3. Plimsolls

Plimsoll lines are on ships' hulls to show safe loading limits

4) Kim / ono (John Lennon / Yoko Ono)

2) It may be rather obscure, but what about TRILBY...
Tri = 3....50 = L... By = next

3. Apologies, the shoes themselves are spelled 'plimsoles'

[Freda7]

Vicasso and barry 123 - Thank you both - I like your answers and will go with those. Thanks again for your help.

We must be on the same quiz circuit - lol
not done 2 6 or 16 (real numbers)

19 is kimono

have you done 8 or 21

[smouse]

or 35

[Freda7]

Smouse - I don't usually have many problems with the
Illingworth quiz but this month's I find particularly hard.
In answer to your query: No. 2 - sorry I haven't got this.
No. 6 - An Aber came up with the suggestion Trilby, i.e.
3 = tri, 50 = l and next = by. Quite clever really!
No. 16. Again, another kind Aber suggested Plimsolls
which I think is very good. No. 35 - I've put Flip Flops,
key = f, body part = lip, loud = f, and cuts = lops. I can't guarantee it's right but it seems to fit the bill.
Same as you I want No. 2 and also Nos. 15, 20, 21, 23 and 32. Back to the drawing board!!!

[Freda7]

Smouse - Sorry I forgot about No. 8. I have Cravat (car turned and a large vessel vat) Hope it's right!

[smouse]

21 is sort of GK just look up atoll

23 what is short for that is and thats in the answer - its not normally known by its full name

32 take a letter out of one of the words

have you put tu tu for 34

[Freda7]

smouse - Thanks for your clues. Regarding No. 34 -
No, I haven't got tu-tu although I can see where you are coming from. I've put Tights as I presumed the opposite of one meant clue No. 1, which was Slacks. Ah well, you pays your money and you takes your choice!!
































smouse - thanks for your clues, I'll put my thinking cap on now. Re No, 34 - no, I haven't got tutu although I can see where you're coming from. I've put Tights as I took it the clue was referring to No. 1 answer (Slacks). Now you've got me wondering!!!. Ah well, back to try to work out your clues. Thanks again.
