A Thoroughly Bad Lot

[Gandolf34]

I know we have a long time to go and ABers get very upset by anyone asking questions too early, but when is it considered acceptable to start fishing for leads (rather than answers)? I have five left and seem to have ground to a halt!

[Harry-Wragg]

Ask away any time you like!

[smouse]

I think its a bit early but if you only want clues and not answers join us on the fundraising quiz site forum

[smouse]

OK no need then I see - I must have been typing when Harry Wragg was

Would be interested to know if you are doing it Harry

[Harry-Wragg]

Hi smouse, I haven't the foggiest idea what it is. It's just that I get annoyed sometimes when someone complains when folk either ask too many questions or ask them long before the end of whatever competion they are doing, for heaven's sake it's all just for fun. Anyway what is it that Gandolf34 is doing?

got no idea what gandolf is doing and I think I'd like it to stay that way lol

[teacher1]

What are the 5 Gandolf34 ...... If I've got them I'll give you a hint or two.

[Gandolf34]

albaqwerty - tis is a really good quiz which comes out twice a year, see link provided by Teacher1 above - well worth a try

Smouse - not sure what yo mean about the fundraising quiz site form? Haven't come across it?

[Harry-Wragg]

Hi Gandolph34, thanks to teacher1 I know what the quiz is, so c'mon, give us the 5 you haven't got!

[Gandolf34]

OK - here goes, vitriol awaited! All answers have reference to some form of villain
22. Have game of bridge with a deadly opponent! (3,6)
29. Handcuffs for little boys who have pocket money. (7)
38. ….. but his second mate got him into trouble. (8)
42. Man of conviction works hard for Catholics inside. (6)
90. Who could be blitzed by having drink in Denmark and Sweden? (6)

Additional clues only please at this stage...

[teacher1]

38 ......... Think of two mother-in-laws ! lol Can't help with the others.

[teacher1]

42 .... I think the answer is in the clue !!

[albaqwerty]

[teacher1]

Only half way Jean ........ no rush ! lol

[Goofy]

29) young boys / lads / N-----
can't help with the others, but was wondering when someone would ask.
Not sure how you get answers from sitesavers - can't even find the puzzle there!

[Goofy]

oh and I think 90 begins with D - but wouldn't mind confirmation!

[Gandolf34]

Thnkas for clues - think I now have 29, but still cogitating on the other ones (despite help from Teacher1)

I didn't have much joy getting onto sitesavers either
