35 first word is a bird that sounds the same as something you have to do if you take a drink. Second word, descends but out of control (think Niagara) Give you a place in North Wales

33 wear these on your feet when the weather is wet!
35 Think of a bird or what you do with food and then a cascade of water
39 actress whose Christian name was Gloria then an initial letter from a word in the clue.
46 Can't help with this one...sent mine off today (and glad to see the back of it!) and I have just realised I have got the answer wrong. I put 'Marbout' if that is any help at all!

And here`s me thinking it was Swansea something!
Thanks everybody.
Of course Marabout (mar a bout) must be it! Thanks for that one, too.
I`m really stuck on (and would appreciate CLUES, please)
50. erratic callings tormented Hannibal`s adversary 7,8
(spent ages going thru Wikipedia for anagram of
callingstormented) !
55 poet`s house by the sea in France 5
58 but Kelvin has a long bat! 6 (can`t find a symbol
for Kelvin)

hiya
I will get back to you with clues but the deadline is 30th Novemeber - so there is still time

For 50 you need an anagram of 'erratic callings' - gives you the name of a character in a book, of which another character is a very famous Hannibal.
55: You need 2 letter abbreviation for house and then the 3 letter word for sea in french - gives you the name of an ancient famous poet.
58: the symbol for Kelvin in physics/chemistry is K, then do as the clue says and add the 5 letters as they are written and you get the name of a bat.
Hope these clues make sense!

Cat and Taz - many, many thanks. You stopped me from going barmy. Couldn`t think laterally at all with Hannibal but now I can sleep in peace.
Look forward to helping you out next May!
