also, is black leather being referred to in the original clue?

Nothing to do with black leather big yin/ wee mon (I don't know how tall you are so I'm covering all bases for your local stature based terms of endearment)

FOR EVERYONE !!!

Here is further pictorial help for the two remaing unsolved clues

Ivan, having viewed and scratched my head frustratedly over your pictorial clues I now have only one word to say to you


balls

Mr Memory as a clued - up Scot in the first instance and Foxxhead in the second, you should be DOUBLY ashamed of yourself for not getting anywhere near either of the two !!

Well it's Friday afternoon, so please put us out of our misery Ivan, there's good chap.

Shame on you all for not getting the Llangollen/Peshawar one ! You've got another 3 hours to solve it otherwise you will be banished to a SIMPLY RED or IRON MAIDEN Forum !

I keep coming back to this...

Perhaps if we got a few letters in place (19 down and 32 down for instance, we could come back to it later

So you were born to be wild ! Fair point Martin re the numbering so I'll stick all the "A"s in to make things easier .

Don't know if you've seen the picture clues but there is Archie Gemill and Madonna in one of her film roles



A---- , -A--A- , A---

I also arrived at this one late last night Martin, I think you should just use your forum administrator powers to edit Ivan's post and make it look like he got his clues wrong and committed a schoolboy error.

Come come It's not that hard
Mr Bongo's militia or even that faux speccy- eyed scouser and Ali Bongo doppelganger Elvis Costello ripped off Abba's "Dancing Queen" lock stock and barrel to sing about Oliver's one !! We are nearly there. The Confucians are right , if you sit long enough on the river bank you'll see your enemy's corpse come floating past How he traumatised me as a youngster with that mocking lyric "England cannae do it , cos they didnae qualify !"
The vacuous Eton Toff is supposedly running the UK !
Oakwood = Tan
Bitumen = Tar
Hardly rocket science is it lads ?
