Hi all,

have been trying to complete a fun quiz with my mates and had a reasonable success but am now stuck and wondered if there were any bright sparks out there who could help.

Have done 99 of these and have the last 11 left. They are all cryptic clues to place names in Europe - think we now left with Belgium and the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal, Italy, Austria and Med Islands.

Any help would be much appreciated as it is now distracting me far too much!

Thanks in advance

Hi Simon.

The Doctors Archenemy is free of The Doctor finally(5) = DAVOS.

Davros is Dr Who's enemy; take out the last letter 'r' of 'Doctor' to give 'Davos'.

Lighter Coloured army medic(7) = PALERMO.

US military domain-name article(5) = MILAN. MIL(domain name) + AN(article).

lol - now you explain them Jim they are oh so simple - very impressed - I went for Davros but was getting rd of the wrong letter to be honest and then couldnt find a place!

Old nurse moves back round insect(6) = NANTES. ANT(insect) inside NES('SEN' backwards; State Enrolled Nurse).

Stopping for now - time for someone else to get the others.

Simon, I only know about Davos in Switzerland as it was in the news recently while it hosted an annual business/economic forum. Must be a ski resort also, but I bet it's expensive!

Thanks Jim - already feeling better - was also going with ant but SEN was beyond me afraid

Jim - if you still about would you agree with Brussels for the Serb one - Serb round l with USS?

I agree 100% with Brussels.

Another one popped out of the subconscious ...

Note Danish in Danish(6) = GDANSK. G(a musical note) + DANSK(danish for 'danish').
