....dead?

by Guest Sun May 08, 2011 8:39 am

Alive, surely? 'To judge both the quick and the dead....'

However, the question is a biblical quick, which might be something else entirely!

by kidder Sun May 08, 2011 11:11 am

Not dead John.

You are on the right track Lydia. You need a better word to counterpoint 'dead'

by Guest Mon May 09, 2011 9:01 am

It's part of one of my favourite jokes - or sayings when you bneat someone to something - There are two kinds of pedestrian - the quick and the dead'.

Dunno what you mean Jim. I just thought it was alive.

by kidder Mon May 09, 2011 6:31 pm

I have perhaps stretched it a bit far. Another adjective for alive would be _ _ _ _ _ _

Plus, the connecting word completes three items. (1) A politician (2) A sporting venue (3) An explorer

by Guest Mon May 09, 2011 7:24 pm

Living. What connecting word? What?

by kidder Mon May 09, 2011 11:07 pm

Living is correct Lydia. The original question asks for 'what word connects........etc.'

Spirit?

by kidder Tue May 10, 2011 9:31 pm

No not spirit Jean.

There is a word that when connected to the answers to the three cryptic clues, will give the names of a politician, a sporting venue, and an explorer.

Stone

Livingstone sports venue, Ken Livingstone,David Livingstone

by kidder Tue May 10, 2011 10:04 pm

Stone is quite correct Jean.
The sports venue was 'Silverstone' the Politician I was thinking of was a proper one.........Gladstone. Of course the explorer was David Livingstone.

Well done Jean. Your turn

by Guest Wed May 11, 2011 6:04 pm

Haha. I didn't read that question properly at all!!!

by saunders Wed May 11, 2011 7:43 pm

Not the Pennines, or the H Q of any rescue services.

by Guest Wed May 11, 2011 8:20 pm

by saunders Wed May 11, 2011 9:15 pm

The northern part of (where I'm looking for) overlaps with the Pennines!

by Guest Thu May 12, 2011 4:55 pm

Looks like the entrance to a cave.

by feathers Thu May 12, 2011 5:35 pm

Peak District?

by kidder Thu May 12, 2011 5:48 pm

I reckon Lydia is on the right track. I have an idea what it is, but I will let Lydia continue.

by saunders Thu May 12, 2011 5:59 pm

Yes, to both questions
