Hi would you like the answers or clues?

[tazmac25]

either as there is still a little bit of time till the closing date - but i have been puzzling ver this for a couple of months now so go easy on me LOL

[mazie]

35 first word is a bird that sounds the same as something you have to do if you take a drink. Second word, descends but out of control (think Niagara) Give you a place in North Wales

35) Swallow Falls

[wymondham2]

33 wear these on your feet when the weather is wet!
35 Think of a bird or what you do with food and then a cascade of water
39 actress whose Christian name was Gloria then an initial letter from a word in the clue.
46 Can't help with this one...sent mine off today (and glad to see the back of it!) and I have just realised I have got the answer wrong. I put 'Marbout' if that is any help at all!

[tazmac25]

thanks maizie the penny has finally dropped on 35 ;-)

[Mamyalynne]

Well Marabout would be right as is also known as the adjutant bird, a type of stork

[tazmac25]

i will have to have a little think about 39
many thanks everyone else for your help

[moonshadow]

Another clue for 39) graceful white bird and another name for melody

[tazmac25]

and the penny drops - many many thanks

And here`s me thinking it was Swansea something!

Thanks everybody.

Of course Marabout (mar a bout) must be it! Thanks for that one, too.

I`m really stuck on (and would appreciate CLUES, please)

50. erratic callings tormented Hannibal`s adversary 7,8
(spent ages going thru Wikipedia for anagram of
callingstormented) !
55 poet`s house by the sea in France 5

58 but Kelvin has a long bat! 6 (can`t find a symbol
for Kelvin)

PS what is the deadline, please, lost the top half of my form.

Thanks

[tazmac25]

hiya

I will get back to you with clues but the deadline is 30th Novemeber - so there is still time

[catfish]

For 50 you need an anagram of 'erratic callings' - gives you the name of a character in a book, of which another character is a very famous Hannibal.

55: You need 2 letter abbreviation for house and then the 3 letter word for sea in french - gives you the name of an ancient famous poet.

58: the symbol for Kelvin in physics/chemistry is K, then do as the clue says and add the 5 letters as they are written and you get the name of a bat.

Hope these clues make sense!

[MsEVP]

Cat and Taz - many, many thanks. You stopped me from going barmy. Couldn`t think laterally at all with Hannibal but now I can sleep in peace.

Look forward to helping you out next May!
