thought crossed my mind - but why?? how does it fit the clue apart from being miner leader??
Arthur Scargill

Your small miner's leader answer is "Little Corporal" - a corporal is the name for the leader of a gang of miners !

If you get an answer to nr. 88 (He ruled absolutely, etc. I'd like to hear from you, it's all I need now !!

Thanks for that - we believe  88 is "Bulbul Amir" - BulBul is a bird plus Amir was a ruler.  If you think differently - let me know!

Also we are missing 82 - Boudicca????

Ihave a different answer for 88 but yours looks quite reasonable
I have a different answer than bulbul amir,I also have boudicca for an answer,but am still working on that one,if i cant find another then it will have to do,I require 3 answers but there is plenty of time to get them.
don't much like bulbul amir as no reference to 'time'

and I still don't altogether go for Boudicca, but might have to eventually!
Now think Q88 is "Sultan Bird"  (Sultan - an absolute ruler + "Bird" - slang for time in prison (Bird-lime = time !!)   There is apparently a "Sultan Bird" so I think that may be it - Unless you may know differently !!!
Sorry - forgot to add that 82 is Boadicea, which was "The Vicar of Dibley's" middle name (Anagram of Fred a civil, etc. ) !
