A Thoroughly Bad Lot

[Gandolf34]

I know we have a long time to go and ABers get very upset by anyone asking questions too early, but when is it considered acceptable to start fishing for leads (rather than answers)? I have five left and seem to have ground to a halt!

[teacher1]

Gandolf34 ........ how do you get 2 MILs ? lol

22 think of a razor

Hi Goofy, I agree No90 starts with a D. I can't see the mother in law connection at all.

[spitza]

I gave a clue earlier on it has not appeared no 22 think of a razor
regards

[teacher1]

doogied the MIL connection is for No.38 ! lol

[doogied]

Yes, teacher1, I realise that, but I can't see through it at all. Also I've got the answer to No99 and can't see the connection to that clue either !!!

[Goofy]

99 is an anagram of CHIEFTAINRUM

[bamberly]

ok Gandolf34, that means you might have the answers to 86 and 94?? Any help wld be appreciatd.

[doogied]

Well, Goofy, I must be really thick tonight because chieftainrum has 12 letters and the answer requires 14 letters.

[Magic1]

Doogied Rainbow 99 The anagram is 12 letters. Solve that and the 14 letter words are another word for that answer Put a dime in the slot and find the Outlaw!

[doogied]

Thanks, Magic1, I can see it now. I knew I had the right answer, but I'm never happy till I know the explanation for all the answers, if you know what I mean.Thanks again Goofy as well. Now back to think about the 2mils!
