I think no 14 is Humpty Dumpty.

There is a cordial tonic - but does not sound alcoholic -
Quizmonkey - you're not likely to find an empty crystal decanter in the drinks cupboard and the clue specified an alcoholic drink or contain one.
The ANSWERS contain an alcoholic drink - I doubt that your devious reading of this would be perpetrated by N and M.

How does the clue work otherwise?? What are the cryptic elements? I can't believe anyone is convinced that's the right answer...
I think you're being a bit blinkered Quizmonkey. Lots of quizzes throw in the occasional trick question to trip people up. Seems a good answer to me. Perhaps Cheers will put us all out of our misery when he/she finds out the answers. Then we can have pistols at dawn!!

How about Molotov Cocktail


I have the answer to 24 if anyone wants it

Yes please, razza.
I have to disagree Dustybun - I'd be the last person to be blinkered!! I have been doing N&M's quizzes for years: if you accept that answer you could accept a score of similar answers - all of which could be argued to fit the general wording of the clue but would be no more or less correct. N&M don't do woolly trick questions - the words are always there for a reason. By all means go with that answer, but please remember my warning!

Thanks razza.

Cheers Q 24 Use an unusual word for cheats - use the s on the 5 letter word + Tick
