Thanks Winnie - I got hung up on "colt" or foal" for the young horse! I must be particularly obtuse today as, try as I might I can't think of a fruit ending coit - is it an alternative spelling?

re 8. Sorry maggiedue - I should have said anagram 'coit'

Thank you very much Winnie, I have them now. I still have nine more to do but don`t want to ask for clues just yet --- so more head scratching for a while :)

Winnie, I must have been very tired as well as obtuse - it came to me the instant I sent the last message and then I couldn't believe I had not got it weeks ago! Thanks your help, I still have about 6 to go but like Larissa, would prefer to work them out myself. I may come back to you if that proves impossible.

I`ve found another 7 of mine, but would appreciate clues for the last two:-

11) Gabbing about the Stock Exchange changes (3,4)
44) It`s lucky the tom-cats have not started prowling (6)

Thanks in advance

Hi Larissa, 11 is an anagram of gabbing - a phrase used by stock exchange (and also the beginning of everything).
Could do with hint for 42 & 53

Hi again Larissa,
44. Anagram of tomcats

Thanks Maggiesue

If my answers are correct then the clues are
42 Think Italian and concentrate on the dumplings
53 Anagram of the first word less one letter

My ancient brain is failing, please can someone help :-
16. (7). Excavate part of leg before having a lively celebration.
66. (6) . Greek character went up to the first little woman and got a kick between the legs.
From the numbers of g's and t's it looks as though i have some mistakes so there may be a further post when i manage to track down the mistakes.
