Clif the spud farmer AF

 

[aussiefarmer]

Yeah cliffy young sounds right , probably not even close but thats what i get from the cryptic clues

 

[cml]

Inanimate .... well, non living, anyway.

Are you thinking of Cliff Young, aussiefarmer? No, it's not a person. (I actually responded to your guess on the previous page )

 

[OzzieAu]

AF, I think you mean Cliffy..... Cliff Young, no flies on him, so if it is, you can take the credit :Y:
Delete.

The Snowy River

 

[cml]

Nope, not the snowy river. You are in the right quarter of the country

 

[aussiefarmer]

The colt of old regret

 

[cml]

nope, but a horse is involved in one of the clues:

I had a few great years.
I was named for a fake, or maybe not.
I run hot and cold.
There's plenty of flies on me.
I used to keep up a good pace.
People say I am very friendly.

CML, you're mixing passed and present terms, can you clarify please ?

The past tense clues are about things in the past, the present tense clues still apply.

 

[cml]

Blacks A Fake

No, not that horse, but I think you know which clue is the horse clue.

 

[Manpa]

St Kilda Beach Merry go Round?

 

[cml]

I like your thinking, Manpa, but nope, sorry

Black Caviar

Pharlap

 

[cml]

Nope, it's not a horse. One of the clues involves a horse (well, ex-horse really, it has ceased to be...)

 

[OzzieAu]

I dont have a clue cml....can you provide one that may help, just a wee bit?

 

[cml]

A wee hint

I had a few great years.
I was named for a fake, or maybe not.
I run hot and cold.
There's plenty of flies on me.
I used to keep up a good pace. <- this is the horse clue (I'm not naming the horse, that would be a giveaway )
People say I am very friendly.
