Terrible Twos

[Pea Brain]

Have come to a standstill and would appreciate an extra clue or two !!! All answers relate to two or have the letters TWO included in them !!

6. For two pistoles, confer knighthood say on Northern Diver..... (8)
18. COO! That's making things hotter for everyone. (6,7)
27. Note is wrong but supposed to cure snakebite. (7)

Many thanks in advance !!!!! P

Possibly doubloon, but I thought that was worth 4 pistoles. Must have been a credit crunch.

6 Here is a clue if it helps! There is an old Spanish coin which is worth two pistoles, this is the whole word. If you need any more help, please ask. I am stuck on 18 & 27 as well

6. definitely doubloon, however correct or incorrect the quiz setter is re the number of pistoles, it's the only possible answer given the cryptic part of the clue.

27 bistort - a plant said to cure snakebite - b (a note) is tort (a legal wrong) - answer contains bi which means two in Latin

[GRM]

6 DOUBLOON - doub, homophone of 'dub' (confer knighthood) loon (northern diving bird) - an obsolete Spanish coin equal in value to 2 pistoles

18 GLOBAL WARMING - 'coo' = CO2 (carbon dioxide)

Any clue for these please
75. Soldier gained an honour and the Spanish cartel made it into twin bands. (6,4

or 46 Resembling a squirrel, when mixed, they could be said to be cygnets
I know this is now 6 3 6

[TOMMO33]

I notice the suggestion of global warming, but GRM should have stuck to carbon dioxide if you want your 'two' in. Seems there were single and double doubloons, which probably accounts for the variation.

Thank you so much everyone. I am sorry I am unable to help with 75 or 46. Is it right that 46 should be (6,3,6) ? !!!!!P

qu. 75. The first word is split into three two letter parts, each clued. The second is a cartel. Unfortunately my spelling does not quite match the clue. Perhaps there is an alternative?
