Rainbow Puzzle

[anita cork]

Is it acceptable yet to ask for help with three remaining questions in the G & T puzzle?

[janbee]

yes, what are they?

[AlwaysConfused]

it is quite early for g&t, but I'll have ice and slice, please

[janbee]

AC, It's NEVER too early. It's always somebody's birthday somewhere in the world

[anita cork]

Numbers 9, 30, and 76. Also has it been definitely established that no.70 should be 11 letters? Thanks

[AlwaysConfused]

janbee, I agree wholeheartedly. Whenever I find out it's someone's birthday, I say 'I'll drink to that!'

[janbee]

do you have the clues?

[anita cork]

Yes:
9. Painstaking passenger on the way (12)
30. Used in games, it takes the pulse (7)
76. League loss for Hearts in good-humoured game (8)
I can tell you that one of the ansers will either begin or end with 'G' and the other two with 'T'.

9 thoroughfare

[anita cork]

Thank you mallyh. Think I've done no.70 as well. Is it a bird ending in ..nt? Just have no. 30 now. I bet it's really obvious!

[gorgonzolamort]

Not 100% but I think the answer is beanbag

[anita cork]

Sorry - meant no. 76 is a bird, I think.

[anita cork]

Gorgonzolamor - interesting name! - yes I think you're right. Many thanks. Can I help anyone else with answers or clues?

[Calibax]

Feed abundantly on food that's returned - and then have cake! (10).
I have an answer, but the first part has more to do with hatches than food!
My answer is a cake, with hte last 4 letters being a slang word for food backwards.
