22 I don't think this is friends because it's Friends Reunited, not united. I think it's more likely to be Kingdom.Can anyone explain 49 - A link with Europe or 4 The cheat goes to the top

[jacqui5]

Geoff, thank you for your help - Ive got that one now!
Sue, I think you maybe right on Kingdom for the united one - I have got mixed up somewhere and thought it was the anser for "an offence in the monarchs school!". Never mind!
The link with Europe is The French Connection and The Cheat one is - I will help you on this - a very good musical/film/play/book with a fiddler in it!!
Can you help me with "an offence in the monarchs school" - I just cant see it!!

Thanks everyone

[jacqui5]

Mamyalynne - thank you for the horse one!"! It is so obvious, not sure my head is working!!!

[SueMoneyRowley]

Thanks for the help. I've fiddled the answer! The only one now is 52 An offence in the Monarch's school. Could sin be part of the answer?

[jacqui5]

Im not sure = this is the one Im stuck on too!! I was thinking Eton for the school bit?? Anyhow keep thinking and I will too and Im sure Geoff is on to it as well!!! He's really good!!

[SueMoneyRowley]

52 If an offence is a sin, and Eton is the monarch's school (It was founded by one of the Henrys) and you anagram them, you get Tension which is the name of an old film. Could this be it? Opinions please???

[jacqui5]

Sue ur a damn genius!! I think I've cracked it!!!!!! Well done.
Geoff, what do u think???

[SueMoneyRowley]

I don't know about being a genius. I hope one of you wins the cash. I'm not entering my answers, although I have them all now. The only one I'm not sure of is what I've put for the last (75) I have Tellyaddicts. is it correct does anyone agree???

[SueMoneyRowley]

Just realised its not Telly ADICTS!!!!!

[fmman1960]

For a link with europe think of france and connecting.

Any ideas on free to act

[SueMoneyRowley]

Free to act - Anything goes!

[fmman1960]

Thanks Sue

Bit confused still on Laid Back Hot Drink. First thoughts were Chocolat, but laid back could be dial.

Also No 75 - thought of couch potato but again not sure

[SueMoneyRowley]

Laid back hot drink: someone suggested Casualty (Casual Tea) which fits with the cryptic theme of the puzzle.

[fmman1960]

Thanks for that one - major moans though !!

[jacqui5]

last one is teletubbies!!!!

[SueMoneyRowley]

Thanks, I realised that!
