What's he dressed as? Why would he need thread? What's he using the mirror for?

And I reckon he's just mended that saucepan.

@Lizzieboots cold war code names!

Idk if it helps but I don't think hes meant to be holding a mirror. Could be magnifying/spy glass...

If you described a female child as an angel, what are you saying about her? And what kind of activity would it be useful to make look like an accident?

And what would you call a document which starts, 'How to...'?

I’m stuck on the cocktail one and I tried Manhattan, New Yorker etc What letter does it start with ?

Stuck on comedy woman poster not Jenny E ? I need a name as my head will explode 🤯

Jokes table one no idea.
If someone wants to save a brain fogged Perimenopausal woman just DM me

SlayB · 14/11/2024 16:02

Got cocktail one ☝🏻

DeanElderberry · 14/11/2024 16:04

Okay, I've been cheating diligently, I've read every clue, I've googled all over the place and cannot get melting cakes, angel, or jokes.

BiliousOhGod · 14/11/2024 16:05

The cocktail one is a geographical place not far from Manhattan.... Think speakeasy times.

The woman poster is not Jenny E. She's Scottish and has been on a series of Taskmaster.

@LoveHearts69 the rhyming song that includes the title ends "beggar man, thief"

DeanElderberry · 14/11/2024 16:09

I've seen people saying that and I've guessed butter and I've guessed sugar and I've guessed syrup and none of them were correct. Mostly cakes don't melt in my obviously limited experience.

alterego2 · 14/11/2024 16:09

I might have missed something - but am I the only one who can't get the baking table one? I mean there are others I can't get but everyone else seems to get the baking thing 😐

It's literally a say what you see baking ingredient. One word.

BiliousOhGod · 14/11/2024 16:11

For the cake table one, Google book name and your guess to ensure you have correct spelling / capitalisation etc... or review Waterstones best seller lists - a lot of the answers are in there (including this one).

DeanElderberry · 14/11/2024 16:13

I think I need something more specific. Like the first letter and the last letter and at least some of the letters in between. or a description of the actual book.

also for the jokes and the angel. Dear God alone knows what Amazon will be recommending to me based on recent searches.

You star! Thanks! 🙏🏼

BiliousOhGod · 14/11/2024 16:15

You've already said the answer. You just need to make sure you spelled / capitalised it correctly.

DeanElderberry · 14/11/2024 16:16

Right - got the cake now - I swear I put that in before, maybe not capitalised?

still need jokes and the angel

@DeanElderberry

If it helps the jokes one is from an author whose titles are known for being literal, so a tale that makes you laugh is a......
