local quiz - part 3

[BertieButton]

All answers Biblical characters
Further to my earlier posts, here are the last 3 that I need.
25 A backward C.D. "---" at Christmas is first class
29 A large number of lions include a loudspeaker system. - is this an anagram of PRIDE and PA?
30 This kind of regular occurrence is mixed up. - this was earlier answered as possibly TABITHA but I don't quite get it, I can see HABIT in it but where does the TA fit in?

25 Mordecai

[BertieButton]

Cheers flicrat! No way was I getting that!

[flicrat]

CD " ROM" backwards with Dec and A1

[BertieButton]

flicrat, I will gladly express my love for you if you get the other two!!!

[quinie]

30 I was thinking habitat but it's not an occurrence so it's back to the drawing board

[flicrat]

Thanks BertieButton! Shall have to invent something with such a carrot!

[BertieButton]

my affections can, of course, be transferred if you get the answers for me quinie!

[flicrat]

Cupboard love,eh, BB?

[BertieButton]

I'm easy!

[flicrat]

And I play hard to get - like the other two answers to your question!

[boxtops]

the only anagram I can get for 29 is Prepaid, which doesn't make sense

[BertieButton]

Nice one flicrat!!!! And I just can't get them either!!

[quinie]

Sorry, BertieButton, I'm afraid I'm going to give my brain a rest for a while. Hope flicrat can come up with the answers. That was really brilliant getting no15!

[BertieButton]

wasn't Judas prepaid boxtops?

[flicrat]

LOL BB (- and I thought I knew my Bible!!) Stil trying - very!

[MarkRae]

I'm scratching my head for another collective noun for lions (not coalition) - I'm sure I've heard it somewhere... A pride of lions typically contains a dozen or so animals - not a large number like e.g. a herd of wildebeest...

[boxtops]

LOL Bertie, nice one!

[flicrat]

Googling collective noun lions brings :- Troop Sault and Sowse as well as Pride MarkRae, but can't make anything from them either, though St Paul did have a companion called Sopater!

[BertieButton]

i thought of SOPATER too but am at a loss! This is doing my head in! Didn't think of other names for collective nouns for lions so thanks for the pointer MarkRae
