Now I must explain that my excuse for this poor excuse for a quiz is down to been unemployed for nearly 6 months and being very bored but I found myself trying to make up cryptic crossword (ish) style clues for city players (past and present) names. Now that I have found game full employment again I am posting them on here to see if anyone can answer them and to open myself up to ridicule for my poor imagination and poor use of my spare time. Now some I am reasonably proud of and I feel they work and others are just plain rubbish but nevermind I hope I amuse some of you for a few minutes. So here they are: Cryptic City Quiz 1. Receptacle for womens under garments 2. Plonker possibly with a Coxswain 3. Make intelligent remarks increasingly 4. Greeting to an Indian settlement 5. Blustery Donkey 6. Shake Gandalfs Stick 7. Lancashire Bread cake attracts pollinators 8. Your Mother Brothers Lad 9. Soft Fruit based Ice Cream Dessert 10. Jays Close Relation 11. Dick possibly with more than one pair of new Trainers 12. Shorty from a park off Bev Road 13. Bovine Cock Sure Scrapper 14. Doorstep Noble 15. Band Leaded Fuel in an East Hull Accent 16. Relaxed place thatâs not quite a City 17. Exclamation of pain in a joint on Bransholme, argh⦠18. He Had to Pick a Pocket or Two⦠19. HGV on Farmland covered with undetonated ammunition rounds 20. Bird of Prey spanning a river 21.
