Sounds like Christmas
Sounds like Christmas
A quiz for you to try over Christmas.
I haven't done #10, 29 or 37 but have answers for the rest of them. I think that you'll know when you have them right and they'll be accompanied by a groan!

There's no point in having a last minute if you don't use it!
Re: Sounds like Christmas
Thanks Looby I have printed it. Hopefully it will keep my mother quiet. (:twisted: )
Re: Sounds like Christmas
Except for the groaning when she gets each answer!
Particular favourite so far is number 35 (I had a sneak preview yesterday over a four-hour lunch!)

Re: Sounds like Christmas
Only four hours? I thought you two usually nattered for longer than that!
Re: Sounds like Christmas
Well we did both have things we needed to do as well.
Re: Sounds like Christmas
We have had a go at this today and have got most.of them. I think I have no 10, but not the other two you are missing.
I'm struggling with the first two parts of 9 , 23, 24 , 26, 29, 37, and we can't see what 36 has to do with Christmas, so may have it wrong.

Re: Sounds like Christmas
Blimey, Giraffe, you've done loads more than we can. We are stuck on
4, 9, 13, 16 (although I think it might be FEZ ANT something!) 20, 21, 26, 29, 34, 35, 37, 38
I think 23 might bePROSE ECHO (Prosecco) and
24 is PLUMP HOOD DING

Re: Sounds like Christmas
I now have all but #37.
I think that 36 is to do with Christmas in that all alcohol is appropriate then!
I agree with all you blacked out Bunnylump

Re: Sounds like Christmas
For 36 we have SOW SPIN = SAUCEPAN ?
Re: Sounds like Christmas
I had that as Sow Turn (as it the wine Sauternes).
Re: Sounds like Christmas
That is probably better, but as I don't drink I was unlikely to get it!
Re: Sounds like Christmas
We got #37 (BALL/LOONS) but are stuck on 4, 26 and 29.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

Re: Sounds like Christmas
I'm also not happy with my answer for the last part of 10.
edit: Now happy with it.

Re: Sounds like Christmas
Just missing 29 now
I would quite like the beginning to be PROFIT (prophet) and the only 3 letter herbs I can find are BAY or RUE. Proceeds could also mean go forward. Chap I am assuming is Man rather than cowboy leg things or sore lips / hands although that might make the end SORE BAY / SORBET

Re: Sounds like Christmas
No, sorry. But there are quite a few I don't have any thoughts on!!
