Hi Crusty - Have you been on holiday or just busy at work? I was beginning to wonder where you were.

 

I am so glad that two more of my questions have been answered,

so we are now just waiting for the last one - sorry Orli's Bloomers - its not Aragon.

 

Here is a major clue for everyone who reads this sitel "are less" is an anagram. Here is the question repeated.

 

1] Frustrated Heirs are less apparant in Gondor (C.7)

Hello again Crusty. I will keep this up at least until all these questions I have worked on have been completed or until no-one tries this site again. I can see that interest is waning, or maybe it's just the summmer. We'll have to see how it goes. You do seem a

very busy person but I'm very glad you still pop in from time to time and especially glad

that you always seem to be able to get the answers - that seems to make it all worthwhile.

 

Here are the next five questions

 

1] Reflecting images in a pond perhaps? (L.10)

 

2] E's not ruined, just mixed up through generations in Khazad-dum (C.5)

 

3] Say yes for twisting comedian Wisdom's gaffer. (A.6+6)

 

4] French black turned back, making the lead confused. (C.8)

 

5] Mythical bird turns nasty out of the fire (C.3)

 

Hope to hear from everyone soon.

4]Non-commissioned officer mills snails from the Magic Roundabout (A.5+7)

Billybird thank you so much for supporting me and Crusty too. I had become

quite dispondant but shall now endeavour to keep going.Thank you.

 

Billybird, yes you have 1] Gloin correct and 3] Ranger correct.

Crusty you have 4] Brian Sargeant correct and5] Albert Dreary correct

 

You are on the right track regarding No.2 Crusty, it is his Maori name.

This actor also played King Tynah in the Mel Gibson version of The Bounty

and has just completed the film River Queen in which Paul Norell also has

a part. That should help you find his name.
