If I win I promise to donate the tenner to the first charity box I come across.

 

This is a local fundraiser for Deal Town Rangers, it's a monthly comp.

 

Every answer this month is an Animal Noise. For example: 'Tree Covering' = BARK.

 

Here we go:

1. One hundred pounds

2. Nothing for a pen - Oink (whitey grandad)

3. It sounds like a refusal - Neigh (andysstuff)

4. Why go round the pub - Whinny (whitey grandad)

5. 100,000 - Moo (whitey grandad)

6. Collapsible table - Bleat (wibble)

7. Useless doctor - Quack (andysstuff)

8. Of brakes? - Squeel (andysstuff)

9. Second class beam - Bray (whitey grandad)

10. Not very dear it's told - Cheep (andysstuff)

11. Use the website - Click or Tweet? (delldays or hamster)

12. Argue in the outskirts of Galashiels - Growls (wibble)

13. What a carefree motorist doesn't give - Hoot (whitey grandad)

14. Pop one's clogs - Croak (whitey grandad)

15. Kind of timepiece - Cuckoo (gaz)

16. Possibly while you work - Whistle (andysstuff)

17. Big clanger without hesitation - Howl (whitey smartypants grandad)

18. In a long run to help charity - Grunt (wibble) nice one mate.

19. A little squaw knows how to act - Squawk i(jillyanne)

20. Nothing in a built up yard - Meows - bearsy (the naughty one)

I have worked out a few already but will edit with correct answer and credits as and when.

 

Ready, steady Go.

Incidentally, when I entered said boozer last night, where I picked up the entry form, there was an 'omen'. Don't know how to say it proper but you get my drift?

 

This pub has just won CAMRA Regional Pub of the Year (5th consecutive year btw). They always have 8 proper ales on offer, best pub in Deal, and Deal has some cracking ale houses.

 

Anyway, the pumps were obscured by Mr miserable and his buddies; mrs West Ham shirt and The bald bachelor teacher chap. As I peered through the beer bellied throng, I glimpsed it, it was looking straight at me, beckoning me to purchase and savour. The name on the pump handle? Amarillo.

 

I'd been singing it all evening at work, boring colleagues with the explanation of it's significance and even on the drive home mrs h told me on more than one occasion to 'STFU with that stupid song'.

 

I get loads of musical 'signs' all the time, maybe because I'm special or maybe because I'm 'special'but this has convinced me that the skates are going down and whatever the odds I'm gonna stick a few quid on us to Tonkin them now and spend my winnings on beer in celebration.

 

All together now.

 

Shalalalalalalala....

2: oink

 

Lunchtime now, 6 grand kids arriving, good luck with the rest!

 

Likewise, apart from we were expecting 4 but just had a call to say teenage grandson No.1 has ducked out..Darnit, I was relying on him to support me in shutting everyone one up whilst THE GAME is on, mrs h reckons we're taking the bratts out...over my dead body mrs hamster, over my dead body.

 

Enjoy wg and thanks for the help, although a couple thus far were worked out whilst supping last night.

6. Bleat ( anagram of table)

 

11. I would go with click ( dolphin) over tweet as surely tweet is more specific for twitter than the internet in general

 

17. Bell or bellow - which is the noise deer/moose etc make

 

Bray is the noise a donkey makes, though I have no idea how it fits.

 

And you've mixed up your answers for 12 and 13

I have absolutely no idea what this means.

 

A clepsydra was a water clock, basically a big tapered vase with a hole at the bottom to let the water out slowly. From the Greek for 'water thief'. Think of kleptomaniac and hydrous. The vase was wider at the top because the pressure was higher there and so the water would run out quicker.

 

I don't think there's an animal that makes that noise though.

Is 19 squawk? I have no idea why if it is.

 

I thought that, but seems a little obvious. Also little squaw indicates a contraction. Caw (as in crow) maybe?

It's squawk - A little squaw knows how to act.

To you cryptic minded, could 12 be Growls?

 

Argue in the outskirts of Galashiels

Argue = ROW G and LS are 'on the outskirts of Galashiels

 

Growls??

Yup, works for me. And squawk is definitely correct. Now for the numbers.
