Tazmac

[fleurbird]

[wymondham2]

Thank you Tazmac & Fleurbird. Tazmac, will have to think aboput teh clues you gave me a bit more!

[tazmac25]

sorry wymondham - it may have been misleading

read 100 as
1st word evening
2nd word bird of Harrys

[Goofy]

38) oart of ship is on the bottom (and it's not hull). Semi-strike is STR and the anser is a bird of prey

69) newspaper man is ED. Bushop is ARR

100) is an anagram of lights out

[tazmac25]

re Q100
I think goofy and I are both giving clues to 2 different answers

[catfish]

For 100 I agree with Goofy - definitely an anagram. The first word is later than evening but the second one is still a bird owned and used by Harry Potter.

[tazmac25]

think the clues may be going the same direction now

[wymondham2]

Thank you all so much for your help....at long last I have finished this one, what a struggle! Now to finish Whittington Cricket Club's palce names
