Re-posting of local quiz

[BertieButton]

All answers are Biblical Characters.
29 A large number of lions include a loudspeaker system
30 This kind of regular occurrence is mixed up
I'm at a complete loss with this! PLEASE HELP

[BertieButton]

Could 29 be A large number, eg ton then, as bovine is to cows, is there a word for belonging to the lion genus? then is there something else other than PA for a loudspeaker system? I have tried to break this clue down in so many ways i am cracking up! Could anyone suggest any other way to read the clue?

[flicrat]

Eyes shut and back turned?!
Do you realise how many of us had sleepless nights - with no reward!- over this because of your posting?? Still trying to help though.

[BertieButton]

You couldn't speed read through the Bible for me, flicrat? I'd be ever so grateful!!!! I'm beginning to think that the clues may be wrong!

[flicrat]

I tried speed reading /scanning quickly through, my copy of Dr Smith's Bible Dictionary last night, but I admit it was late and the book is published 1876 and is rather small print.( So never really finished it.) Maybe the Bible is wrong??!!

[boxtops]

could it be Lions, i.e. rugby team, rather than a pride of real lions?

[BertieButton]

Oh my word flicrat, saying the Bib is wrong is akin to blasphemy surely! Think the reason I can't these answers is because I had a wisdom tooth out earlier this week (been suffering ever since) and it was from the part of my mouth that deals with theology !!! boxtops, could the answer include RU then? ( for rugby union)

30 Could this be Lydia - anag of daily? - she appears in Acts - a cloth dealer who helped Paul

[BertieButton]

dundurn, I love you with all my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[flicrat]

Sounds brill dundurn. I'd go for that BB - if only to give us all hope. Two down,one to go.

John 14.1 - Let not your hearts be troubled
Luke 2.10 - Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy

C= 100
leos = lions
pa = loudspeaker system

Cleopas - one of the disciples who met Christ on the road to Emmaus

dundurn, truly, I cannot thank-you enough! This has been driving me ( and others ) up the wall!! Many many thanks to you! IF I win , the prize is a £10 book token and you will be more than welcome to it!!!

[flicrat]

Sigh of relief. Cheers dundurn.
John 5 v39 "Search the scriptures" - which we have done and
Luke 11 vv 9 and 10. The just reward.

[dundurn]

No problem and keep the token for yourself (should you win it) - remember Matthew 6 vs 3 and 4
“But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
As with all Abers - a thank you is always welcome - and enough.
