(Or is it hassock? Which one do you kneel on?)

Janh · 16/11/2005 21:45

That's number 46 btw

HRHQoQ · 16/11/2005 21:46

cassock - someone suggested it before - but cassocks come in all different colours, our choir ones are blue, you get red, purple and other hidieous colours too.

Although I guess clergy cassocks are always black.......

OP posts:
Nightynight · 16/11/2005 21:46

well it is a church quiz!

We had cassock janh, and it is the leading theory I think, but someone said they didnt have to be black (cassocks, I mean)

Janh · 16/11/2005 21:47

Oh sorry! Thread was too long, didn't read it all.

Are the non-black ones also called cassocks though?

Nightynight · 16/11/2005 21:48

G is a musical note too, where does it come in the do, re, mi scale?
(I know nowt about music)

HRHQoQ · 16/11/2005 21:49

hmmm think I may go for Cassock....for 46 - unless anyone else can think of something -

Right so it's just "embarking with G and 2" (8 letters) we need now.....

OP posts:
Janh · 16/11/2005 21:50

This is from Wikipedia. Apart from cardinals and bishops (leave aside monsignors!) yer cassock is black.

HRHQoQ · 16/11/2005 21:52

Cassock it is then........apparently choir cassocks are usually called Robes??? although I've never sung in a church choir that doesn't call them Cassocks LOL.

OP posts:
Mercy · 16/11/2005 21:53

I agree re cassock

Nightynight · 16/11/2005 21:54

qoq, are all the answers definitely clothing related, or can the clothing bit be in the clues only?

HRHQoQ · 16/11/2005 22:03

NN - the answers are all items of clothing.

OP posts:
aloha · 16/11/2005 22:09

Well 2 is jeans isn't it?

Janh · 16/11/2005 22:10

I believe they're all done now except 20, aloha

HRHQoQ · 16/11/2005 22:10

yes - we've got that one - just trying to working out

Embarking with G and 2 (8 Letters)

OP posts:
aloha · 16/11/2005 22:13

Sorry, that's what I mean...the 2 in the question surely refers to the answer in question 2...maybe?

Janh · 16/11/2005 22:15

Ohhh, see what you mean, sorry.

Not a lot of other clothing with a j in though?

Mercy · 16/11/2005 22:31

Run out of ideas now . Good luck QoQ.

Cybermum · 16/11/2005 22:47

Could No.20 be boardie??

from boarding - to embark????

HRHQoQ · 16/11/2005 23:10

what's a boardie??

OP posts:
WickedWestCountryLass · 16/11/2005 23:12

Boardies are surfing shorts.

Mercy · 17/11/2005 09:52

Re no.19.

Could it be vest? ie to "invest". Any thoughts?

Are we still stuck on no.20 ?

Lonelymum · 17/11/2005 09:56

Mercy, that is good for 19. I think vest is more likely than toga myself. QofQ what do you think?

foundintranslation · 17/11/2005 10:00

though to invest isn't necessarily to make a profit, is it? (I would say that, toga was my answer )
you could put both!
