miscellaneous matters

[amadeusamati]

Is anyone else struggling with this one?

[squarebear]

Is there anything in particular you are struggling with? If you post the questions, perhaps we can help?

[jared25]

Yes I am now - have managed to get answers for 54 questions - so only another 46 to go!!

[amadeusamati]

I'm stuck on the following - will gladly help with any answers I've got:
8, 14, 22,24,25,28,29,48,52,57,59,64,72,76,77,78,80,81,87,89,90,
think the proverbs are the worst!!

[Buenchico]

I spend most of my life struggling with miscellaneous matters ;-)

However, like Squarebear, I'm confused by your question (or the lack of one).

If you've got a crossword clue about 'miscellaneous matters', the answer could be something like 'odds and sods' but, without further information, it's difficult to help.

Sorry - didn't mean to be confusing - I've listed the ones i'm struggling with and would be grateful for any pointers - am quite happy to help others with ones I've done

[Mamyalynne]

this is obviously a quiz and without the clues we cant help. We dont all do ALL the quizzes!!

[squarebear]

Yes, a string of seemingly random numbers isn't much help. If you can post the actual questions, it's much easier to help you.

I can help you with the following

8. Mr Tambourine Man
48.Magnesium Iron ?
59. Marks & Spencer
90. Melina Mercouri (I think there is a mistake in the number of letters in her surname)

Would be grateful for any help with no's 10(is this something to do with the tower), 51 and 88 as cannot find anything for these. I have not tried to do any of the anagrams yet thought I would leave them til later

[smouse]

is that all you need

[Buenchico]

Ah, now it starts to become clear. Having worked for the railways in East Anglia, I can confidently tell you that the Fenchurch St to Southend route was known as the misery line.

And another one:
0167 050 is the dialling code for Morpeth.

Thank you for your help. Will try and find some more answers on my own and will also call for help when I get stuck!! I am sure there will be more people asking for help when it gets nearer the closing date.
