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!

[mtsgirl]

I get you teacher 1 about 16 but were those people really a thoroughly bad lot? I am obviously not concentrating properly, have to make a chocolate mousse for pudding for friends tonight and must be distracted!

[Mamyalynne]

mtsgirl concentrate on a short word for boat too and add to it

choc mousse yummy

[mtsgirl]

No, my brain has gone I think. Can only make a musical instrument from that clue! 10 minutes left on here before i start melting the chocolate. It is yummy although I say it myself. Am better at that than answering what probably seem like very simple clues to some of you

[mtsgirl]

Oh I get it, how silly I am. Thanks for leading me, or sailing me in the right direction

[doogied]

madamquiz, the answer to No42 can be found in the lettering of the question. Would you ( or anyone ) care to give me a clue to No24 ?Stormy seatrip for people who talk for a long time........( 11 letters )

Doogied Rainbow 24 Try Filibusters Some of the pirates on this site ! do you agree?

[doogied]

Thanks, Magic1, will go and look that up to check it out, but seems ok to me.

[teacher1]

Clues ...... not answers !!!!

[doogied]

Hi teacher1. My initial thought for No62 is that there is an American connection, do you agree? I apologise for Magic1 giving out an answer, I did ask for a clue for that one.

[mtsgirl]

doogied 62 not an american connection think popular pantomime characters

[mtsgirl]

Teacher1 it's me, the morning after the chocolate mousse. I think you were leading me to an answer for 2 which is the answer I thought was for 14 Have I lost the plot completely?

[mtsgirl]

Teacher 1 My brain has switched itself on now and I have got No.2 Now for the others!

[mtsgirl]

madamquiz any that you need help with which I may have already?

[teacher1]

62 ...... try an anagram of resists and add another word.

[doogied]

Yes, teacher1, that's what I was thinking ( I think) INITIALLY american. Do you agree? I have an answer to No23, but I think my answer should be 2 words, and the question sheet asks for one 8 letter word.what's your thoughts on that one?

[teacher1]

You need to look up Falkner's novel ............. I have an 8 letter word

[teacher1]

....... Faulkner's 1948 novel

[teacher1]

62 ........ the extra word goes in front of the anagram of sisters.

[teacher1]

Ooops .............. in front of the anagram of resists. lol

[doogied]

Do you think he's a thoroughly bad person, for 23, teacher1 ? I'll need to think about this one.
