Group Therapy 77 83 93

[m47]

I haven't seen anyone asking for hints on these, so maybe they're obvious but I can see them!

Can anyone nudge me in the right direction please?

77. Is a beer from a CAPITAL brewery. (Sounds a bit strange but its a name for a plant as well. Can't guarantee I have the right answer but think OK)
83. Name for collection of words usually at back of book.
93. Obvious connection to previous question - word has 2 meanings, 1 connected with giving a light and the other to a small army unit.

Hope Muffet doesn't mind too much. By the way Muffet I have contributed for years to the puzzle causes.

thank you Jennifer.
Q77 I have drunk the odd beer or two and have led a fuller life, but I'm not 100% convinced of the answer. Sounds like you have the same doubt. The Rainbow clues usually leave you absolutely sure when you get them.
Q83 OK - don't know why I didn't see it before. it was 'a first-rate' that threw me, but I see now
Q93 Still need to work on this

If you're still up for a subtle nudge, I'm struggling on 33 and 45 and 57 too!

77) It is the name of a flower which can also be called None so Pretty.
33) THink of a french posh word for Bill (of fare) and then add L for left.
45) are with a word for soft wet earth, anagram, then chambers any word you get as it is very unlikely you know it
57) three letter word for cigarette +oil cockney for man dropping the h is what they do, so He becomes e., then anagram

Good luck hope these help

[jenniferd]

Pretty sure 77 is correct as second word is a group.
93. Further hint would be a name for a gun emplacement 2nd WW firing into sky.
45. The soft wet earth is the type you can get stuck in!!!!!

First of all, sorry Goofy, my search didn't find previous posts on these.

Thank you too to other helpers.
93. - still a struggle for me but you gave given me some good leads I haven't come to the end of yet
77. - got the connection now, I'd missed it
33. - Not found it yet, but it looks like a good clue, so thanks
57. - thanks, ok now but a very convoluted clue from Rainbow!
45. - I should have seen that before.

Thanks again to all

for 33 - normally oil producers are these.
