Many thanks to all of you for your help

[jenniferd]

Thanks for your help everyone with 43 & 95. Certainly should have seen the anagram of danger to get gander.
Re 95. Whilst I accept Gannet (nag + net) where does the pig fit in?

[emmie]

isn't it gannet when referring to some one who eats a lot, like a pig?

[JJ109]

A pig/someone that scoffs their food, is colloqually known as a "gannet"

[jenniferd]

Stupid ME - of course I knew the connection between pig and gannet!!!
