a thoroughly bad lot.

92. In the past you had a horse but were interested in Peter's. 4
59. Ronald took part in a crooked deal with the robber 7
I know its early but could anyone give me a clue for these please? They're driving me mad! Thanks.

[x-ray]

Thanks mtsgirl - yes, I have found that generally people on quizzes and puzzles are very friendly and helpful.
I think that your idea of "clues only" is splendid and just gives that little extra bit of help.
Hi Goofy - yes I have seen that other thread - a bit confusing that both threads have the same title.
Question 13 should be easy and yet I am still struggling with this one (and others I might add !) "Not making your mind up on this one ? How uncomfortable (7,2,3,5)"

[Goofy]

q 13 - is a well known phrase. Trouble is almost any clue would give it away.
It's not cryptic unlike some of them in this quiz.

[x-ray]

Thanks Goofy....think I have got it at last (question 13 that is)

[mtsgirl]

Am I right in thinking that rustler was just a clue for 31? Think I have to work on the player?

[Goofy]

yes - the answer is another word for rustler.
It's not a word you are likely to have heard of!
Think of player as in Shakespeare!

[mtsgirl]

Thanks Goofy will continue to work on that, and 96, good clues about that one. Nobody has mentioned 30 yet, I am obviously not prepared to find the correct answer there either!

[FoxLee2]

No.30 - anagram involved and think of man's best friend

[mtsgirl]

Thanks fox lee 2 I had been trying anagrams, got basset hound out of some of the words but obviously not correct. Will keep trying. Out for dinner tonight so won't be very switched on when I get back!

[FoxLee2]

mtsgirl - basset hound is the answer I came up with. Why don't you like it?

[Goofy]

what's bad about a basset hound?
I'm rather fond of Fred myself!

[FoxLee2]

Well a hound is described as a contemptible scoundrel. There are other answers with two words in which one of them doesn't mean anything bad.

[mtsgirl]

Just got home from my meal out. Oh, so I got it right then? Sorry folks, would not have put it if I'd realised. Don't tell the AB police please! I too love Fred Basset, nearly as much as my two dear old black labs. Thanks for the input, will plod on with the others. Sleep well all

[Goofy]

I hadn't looked up hound - but I'm going to have to admit defeat - poor Fred!

[FoxLee2]

It's nothing personal against Fred and you can't tar ALL basset hounds with the same brush!! If you have an alternative answer, please share it.

[Goofy]

fraid not.
It has to be Fred!

[mtsgirl]

Still trying my hardest with 31 So, another word for rustler or more easily, a player as in Sheakespeare? Beginning with Ab, as that I think I remember is the Latin word for from, or have I got that wrong? Have scoured Chambers in reference library for another word for rustler but can only get a 6 letter one beginning with D Any other clues please? Ok, I agree, I am slow on the uptake but it is driving me insane.

[FoxLee2]

You have the first two letters correct. To make it simple - a person who appears on stage in the theatre or in films.

[mtsgirl]

Thank you Fox Lee 2, how embarrassing when the answer then appears to be so simple.

[mtsgirl]

So that makes 86 which I think are correct, not too bad and still plenty of time to go, albeit not much inspiration at the moment. Teacher 1 you are very quiet; have you finished or just sitting there waiting for requests?

[teacher1]

Hi mtsgirl. No I've only got about 60 of them. I will wait a while before asking for extra clues, but still willing to help with what I've got so far.
