Chaps / Chapesses,

Thursday quiz.....

I have been handed a company car knowledge test and there are few that need filling in - so get your brains out and see what you can do?

For example here are some already answered ones:

1. Winged dragon with barbed tail? Chimaera
2. Rural dance? Morris
6. Senior Pupil? Prefect
8. Eskimo dog? Husky

You get the idea...

10. Looted (6)?
11. Old pound coin (9)?
13. South African Seaman (4)?
14. Sprightly movement (7)?
32. African blossom (5)?
34. Old mother of drag (5)?
50. Achieve supremacy (7)?
51. Eminent conductor (7)?
60. Very cold lady (8)?
61. Nippon light bulb (5)?
64. Lotta bottle (6)?
68. Link with Paris (5)?
74. Pirate privateering vessel (7)?
79. Sprightliness (6)?

Oh, and the number in brackets refers to the length of the word. Have got a load already, but stumped at the moment on these...

Anyone have any ideas...

Cheers,

Paul.

P.S. Anagram is TMASTCAL - whats it mean...

Sovereign sounds better and matches - the best I could come up with was the old Toyota Crown, but that isnt 9 letters!!!

Its actually quite hard isnt it

the ships were called "Brigantine's" shortened to Brigs, not sure of any cars called a Brigantine so I thought the complier of the quiz might have got it wrong!

Not too sure about this one - a Chimaera is not a dragon...( a goat / lion / snake hybrid I believe) is the letter count correct? It may refer to a Gilbern that used a dragon as its emblem.
