Leisure Pleasure

[jenniferd]

Please could I have a hint(s) for
55. (5) (Just a space here after clue no)

81. Race around at crawling! (8) Had thought it might be scramble as race is in there+ramble+amble but not convinced.

75. To find suitable words about sly character (6)

[johnalex]

55. What is the clue number? How many letters? . . .

[gen2]

jenniferd, the clue for 55 is NOT as you have typed it above. There is no full stop after the 55, thus making it part of the clue. (This is a regular feature of this quiz). The clue therefore reads:

55            (5)

Just say what you see.

[jenniferd]

Clue no. is 55 and then its blank and the answer is a 5 lettered leisure pursuit.

[burgess3334]

jenniferd, you put a full stop after 55 but there is not one in the clue, this is relevant.
75. think of an actor known as Sly.
81 I,m stuggling with this one.

[gen2]

81. Clues have already been given for this. The meaning of 'Race' has got nothing to do with competition. Think people.

[jenniferd]

gen2, What I see is "space"

[jenniferd]

75. gen2, have found the actor now American politician. Is the whole a form of chatting in its "worst" sense. Suppose that could be called a leisure pleasure.

[Goofy]

and if your'e still stuck on 55 think what the clue number would be called in bingo.

[gen2]

75 Nothing to do with chat. You want one of the actor's CHARACTERS for most of the answer.

[jenniferd]

Goofy, even with "snakes alive" I'm still stuck (or clueless about) with 55.

[johnalex]

Jennifer - you haven't answered my question!
What is the clue number? Write it down.
How many letters? Write it doen.
What have you written down . . . . . ?

[gen2]

Don't they say things like "All the threes, thirty three"? at Bingo? Can't be sure myself as I never go.

[Magic 1]

No.55. There may be a few of us around who have actually played this game

[jenniferd]

75. Having got very confuse between Sly and an american politician Arnold S think Ive got it. The word starts with C and the sly character follows. Please confirm I've got it!!!!!!!
55 Was I more likely to have gone to Eton to play this game?

[prospector]

Clue 55:

The clue is written as 55 (5)

.... so lots of FIVES in the clue!

Eton ----- is a hand-ball game, played in a three-sided court.

Clue 75:
The answer is a Victorian Parlour game-

Sly is the nickname of the actor Sylvester Stallone - known for two main roles .... Rocky and Rambo ...

Take one of these roles .... and put the letter C (circa) in front .... you now have your game!!

Clue 81:
Race as in people (6 letter word) .... sometmes Great Britain is called an Island N - T - - N

Put this word AROUND 'at' .... you now have an 8 letter answer that is an obscure word that means swimming (crawling is a reference to the swimming stroke, the crawl)

[Magic 1]

Jenipherd Yes but I did NOT go to Eton. As far as I remember there were two types of this game Rugby and Eton ! for what its worth

[jenniferd]

Many thanks to all. Think I'm there on thes 3 clues. What a helpful prospector you are. If I can return the favour will be only too pleased. Now have 2 left to do but will have another try at them.

Stready Prospector, if you give all the answers there will be nothing to work on.
