MadMags Star Poster Registered: Sat May 03 2008 Posts: 17092 Loc: Orosi Costa Rica	Santana, I think you're on the right track there; I've been wracking my brains over this one. However, Trim only fits the first half of the clue, there are another 3 letters for 'fashionable' making the total of 7. There's no Triminn or Trimmin, I looked, lol. Perhaps if we put our heads together... _________________________ A smile is a curved line that sets things straight. ~ Anon.

ren33 Moderator Registered: Thu Sep 30 1999 Posts: 12593 Loc: Kowloon Tong Hong Kong	Madmags I dont usually post links but this explains it very well: Shipshape and Bristol fashion Ozzz I am not trying to make people do the answers for me, honest! My cousin sent me the two quizzes for me to enjoy and out of the goodness of my heart I passed them on to you all. Honest! There is no prize. Really! I dont know the answers myself either. I will post the other quiz if people want? _________________________ Wandering aimlessly through FT since 1999.

And if No. 5 could possibly be in the past tense, I'd say it was Roade... _________________________ The Hubble Telescope has just picked up a sound from a fraction of a second before the Big Bang.

MadMags Star Poster Registered: Sat May 03 2008 Posts: 17092 Loc: Orosi Costa Rica	Thanks for that interesting link, ren. I'd never heard that expression before, even though I'd lived in Bristol for seven years! You live and learn. And No. 5 is driving me crazy... Yes, please post the other set. _________________________ A smile is a curved line that sets things straight. ~ Anon.
