Is anybody else finding it annoying to get to the last page, which will now be 21, seems to get 10 pages at a time.
I notice Bruno has started a new thread - unfortunately still called "Containers" - maybe this new thread should be the one we should continue on.
Oh dear, I am so confused......

Rufus look at the clues in post 174 that will get you to the answer for 32 48 The 3 letter word for a drowned valley added to the latin word for water 68 Not 100% sure if this one is correct but I got a word for the middle of the day and anagrammed it with a word for 'weed' The only big bottle I thought of could have been one of the 3 wise men but not sure if he was grizzled or old! Am I getting warmer on that? Help!!

Hi twinsnan
The word that I think is the answer is a word I had never heard of...I can't remember how I came across it now, but if you look up this link you might work out what definition also fits an old man (again, never heard an old man referred to as this, but it is also on this dictionary.)
Hope this helps !!!!

Oops Rufus, so you did...never mind, we have to take any bits of luck we can in this quiz and we certainly work hard enough to deserve it, at least I think we do....doesn't come as easily to some of us as others. Anyway, thanks a lot.

Does anyone have a clue for 99? I am thinking of the thing which the catch is put in before being thrown back in but don't think it can be.

Hi Rufus,

Stop me if I'm wrong but No. 68 can't be greybeard as it has nine letters and the clue has seven.

Try, abbreviation for "morning" + what you do to get draught beer + "a" from the clue.

Regards,

I will certainly get my wrists slapped now, but as you say we all need a little bit of luck to spur us on. Thanks for your clues twinsnan, and of course all the other posters
Meanwhile, I will go and stand in the corner with head bowed.
