film (5,3)
2. Trump, for example, means nothing to cartoon
character (6,4)
3. She distressed Samson (7)
4. Town that is loved to the North (of Ripon) (10)
5. Bird of evil returns to elegant King (8)

You will have until the beginning of March 2008 to submit your answers and �50 has been allocated for prizes ~ including a prize for obtaining the average score and another prize for scoring below the average!

so why doesn't the compiler crofter make this posting?

[paulineward]

yapisle...Crofter has very kindly compiled this quiz for me, as I just would not be a match to his skills!
Crofter knew I did a lot of charity fundraising.
He very kindly donated his time and expertise to offer his services to compile these quizes for me as a fundraising activity.
The very least I can do and like to do, is organise the running of it.
Hope that explains it!!!
