I gave up when I couldn't do the " easy ones to start "

Keep going! I've got only one of those so far.

'Odd one out & why' I've got them all.

'Your round' I haven't the foggiest.

'What links' and I'm baffled.

'Read it? Whose works include:-' I have at least 2 out of 3.

'Location, Location' is easy once you get the link.

'Musically what kind of plant is usually seen in two forms' I have no idea even of how to approach.

'That is Magic.. What four words precede' is the same.

'Shaping up to...' I've got.

'Every which way' I again have no idea about.

And 'Finally' is straightforward enough.

Ooo I like this quiz and those of Old Pete too.

Can I suggest that this and future ones are made 'stickies' before they disappears down the page?

Making this thread a sticky took me way longer than it should have!

Hopefully will figure out some of the answers soon!

I have all the answers- cash only donations accepted!

I do like quizzes but have to confess this one leaves me totally and utterly bewildered !

Interestingly I have found most of it relatively easy, some I haven't got though.

I guess it is how you see things, a bit like doing a Sudoku, you can't see a solution and when you go back 10 minutes later it is obvious.

Clever question that,first letter of each world spells

MERLO? so we were looking for a drink beginning with 'T' Tequila or Tea even I guess would have been acceptable.

Well I assume that is what we should have been looking for, but could be just a coincidence!

[u][/u]Anyone else want to have a go or change their minds?

Answers coming on Sunday
