Gotcha – Many Thanks

…must resist the urge to start on the film quiz from a couple of years back….

Gladiator = work by fat yellow buffoon

Doh! got it now, thanks monkfish

Any clues on the knife with the US flag? I can’t think of anything for it.

I have to return some videotapes

Comparing business cards 🙂
Ok, green sunglasses. Any clues? Presume its a you know or you dont. Also the da vinci code cryptex -whats that?

All on bestsellers, into the 60s now and starting to get tough.

Can’t believe I didn’t get that, thanks for the clues.

Who “could” be wearing those sunglasses?

Also the da vinci code cryptex -whats that?

Have a think about that?

So spelling and spacing was the issue 🙂 now 33 in bestsellers.

Classics to complete now, on 20+ so far on both

still can’t get the bedpost with wings in the kids section

and on the best sellers, the maze on the robots arm…..I can’t help but think I should have it but I can’t work out if it’s spelling, spacing, whatever, or have I taken a wrong turning entirely

and FWIW the Lighthouse sign and the O and N on the street.

these are my last 4

and FWIW the Lighthouse sign and the O and N on the street.

Not looked at the quiz but there’s only two books that can be…

(Actually, have I missed a joke? My fault for not reading the thread. Given what the sign is indicating the way to? And what O and N spell and another word for street…😁)

still can’t get the bedpost with wings in the kids section

Gaulish warrior

the maze on the robots arm

It’s a kind of maze

the Lighthouse sign

Which way…?

on the street

It’s not a street.

It’s very easy to make out the O & N is an easy one but not very helpful, typical I’m alright Jack attitude!

I’d help with the lighthouse but I’m afraid to

ah, that bedpost isn’t a bedpost then!

Learning – sometimes you just get something in your head / see something and then can’t see anything else.

98/99 what the hell is the flying key one? I’ve a horrible feeling it’s really obvious 🙂

I’ve a horrible feeling it’s really obvious

Is it driving you Potty? 😉

oh FFS, thanks 🙂

Funny how ive already got the ones all these clues are for but struggling on what must be some pretty obvious ones!! the frog and toad, the severed animal heads on spikes, the bat, the three swords….

im still miles off 71/99

The Maze one i got by mistake. Didnt think the Goblin King Jareth film was book, turns out it wasnt!

the frog and toad

It’s not a toad

How many swords did you say?

the severed animal heads on spikes

two answers

– an offer you can’t refuse

– king of the flying insects

doh!

Up to 33 on the bestsellers. Not really looked properly at the classics.
But stuck on 32 for the kids.
It’s the ninja/lightning/criminal person. Can’t for the life of me get my thouhgs away from Burglar Bill.
Any clues?

It’s someone stealing something..🌩

The ninja is stealing something.

2 left in classics, prob obvious. The flute playing character and the horse headed man I think.

Got it! (eventually)
Thanks

Just the classics to go now

“The flute playing character and the horse headed man I”

is one clue which may come to you if you fell asleep mid-june

Done! 🙂

First one I’ve managed to finish, took me ages to get the robot and the scary chap (Orc?) on the best sellers page.

I’ve enjoyed the clues people have put on here as much as doing the quiz itself.

Right, this ninja fella. I’ve tried variations on a theme based on a series of books by Rick Riordan. Am I barking up the right tree or not.  It’s been driving me nuts!  I have this one and one other that i have no idea what it is to get on the children’s books…

Right on to the classics.
Ones left to get are (I think):
– the dove
– the rose – who is that meant to be holding it?
– the woman on Tim Jones’ belt
– the panther / werewolf

The ninja fella – another word for robber (and it’s not burglar bill!)

@pocpoc – the dove is a symbol of something, that belt is making me unhappy, it’s not a panther/werewolf (there’s a link with a character on one of the other pages), harry potter would be scared of the rose lady

If you think that’s a werewolf someone’s been telling you a shaggy dog story

You are half-way there with the dove, but it’s the second half you have

I see no one holding a rose, perhaps it’s an illusion

The belt, you go looking and you’ll win

A got it and the one I was missing, that elderly chap holding a letter. Never heard of it but did a “say what you see”

Onto finish kids now,6 left. Loads seem to not be clues, so might take a while!

– the dove
– the rose – who is that meant to be holding it?
– the woman on Tim Jones’ belt
– the panther / werewolf

1: What’s next to the dove?
2: Think Dickens
3: Not happy frenchies
4: Elementary my dear Watson..

Right, last one. The holes/stanes in the bed sheets.

Any clues greatly appreciated! I aint googling that.

Oh ffs. Got it now. Yeah 99 🙂
