Here we go. This is for a cryptic quiz. No letters on offer just the following clues. I had a list of 50 and these are the ones I cannot get...

1) Found in a body, or at a crossing (5)

2) Go in to insure tumbler, looking back (6)

3) Fellows, Lords, friends all get in front (3)

4) Get the odds on supple Eleanor (6)

5) Purchase posh mushrooms, so we hear (6)

7) New order for twenty, raised in cheers (5)

I have some ideas on two of them, but don't want to put them forward as might actually block your mind from a better answer.

Brilliant responses. Thanks to all of you Calibax sealed it for me. I had Elbow for number 20 in my list as the clue was; "in the passage, bowled endlessly and clumsily" However, by suggesting Elbow for the one I marked as 7 sorted that one out.

Not 100% on number 3? I looked as Friends, Lords & Fellows all being Peers getting in front of "eers" but not happy as all the hints in the clue suggest a plural, and nothing hints as "Eer(s)" sounds like "Ear(s)" Unless anyone can get anything better.

Thanks again Calibax. As soon as you put Hip all made sense.
