14. a) Istanbul b) Madrid c) San Francisco d) Milan

I'd like to get on with life too, the only one I'm left with is 26d. Could you help please?

[DonKiddick]

The Mission is in San Francisco;  Porta Genova is in Milan.

I am struggling with Q 19 (What do the celebrities have in common?) and with Q 30 (Survival advice).  Can you help please? Ta

[AdrianR]

The Mission is San Fransisco

Porta Genova is Milan

Do you know which out of Kiss from Heaven and The Laughing Cavilier is the cocktail?  Can't find a difinitive answer anywhere?  Ta.

Also No 30 still bugs me.  I think B

[Compintone]

'Kiss from Heaven' is a definitely a cocktail. here is the recipe!

30 is a challenge. I now favour c. All the advice for getting out of the way of rhinos is to zig zag, even though it's not because of their turning circle is poor. d sound totally plausible given it's the sound of animal mating they are talking about. The key will be to find the reference work that gives the answer. My guess is its an American Survivalist guide (the SAS one in unlikely to mention cougars I think)

[sallyhaywood]

Thanks for confirming my Milan answer. 26d is elsewhere on the site as The Library at Alexandria.

[sallyhaywood]

Again, it's elsewhere on the the site that 26d is the Library at alexandria. Re the survival advice I've gone for the boiled hair being wrong, as I've been advised that hair doesn't boil, it disintegrates.

[sallyhaywood]

Yes, I was also between the kiss and Laughing Cavalier, but had the recipe of Kiss from Heaven confirmed
