12 Sharpton?

 

[Raheem]

12 Sharpton?

No. I've added an extra word to the clue, which might help.

12 Peron

 

[belboid]

I get the stone bit and the Peloths son...but the rest of it?

 

[planetgeli]

I get the stone bit and the Peloths son...but the rest of it?

What's the stone bit? Gym lesson = PE?

 

[belboid]

What's the stone bit? Gym lesson = PE?

Its the ultimate root of the name itself

 

[planetgeli]

Its the ultimate root of the name itself

Peron comes from Stone do you mean?

 

[belboid]

aye

 

[planetgeli]

aye

I'll take your word for it. Can't find that on the net. I thought it was an Evita, Oliver Stone reference. But I don't really understand the rest either.

Raheem ?

Ah, perron is a large block of stone...is what I just learned.

 

[planetgeli]

Violent twin, short = (Ron)nie Kray?

 

[belboid]

yeah, thats what I got stuck on yesterday, trying to make Oliver fit. And I did guess at the Krays, but couldn't work out the PE bit cos I'm an eejit

 

[JuanTwoThree]

Peñón means big rock

That's an r

Pene means cock

That's a c

-on is the opposite of a diminutive suffix, whatever that is

So Peneon could mean big cock, I suppose

 

[Raheem]

Gym lesson = PE

Stone junior = Ronnie Wood (he's 72)

Violent twin = Ronnie Kray

Maybe that was a bit too difficult before I added 'short' to the clue.

Seperately...

According to = per

Two from town = o & n

Peleth's son = On (someone from the Bible)

 

[Raheem]

Still to go...

6. Carrier for St Barts? On the flip side, a hiding place.

18. Confused authors, Commander. Miranda and Karen are after altered states.

20. Do obsessive. Sex tract or unpleasant person, with disorder.

 

[belboid]

Sex tracts...... O and Fifty Shades come to mind, 120 days of sodom. Not sure how they help. Unpleasant person...are we back to gromit?

 

[Raheem]

'O' has nothing to do with clue 20.

Keep it handy, though.

 

[ignatious]

Is 6 Blair? On the flip (B) side, lair. Not sure about the first bit though.

 

[ignatious]

Ah, Bartholomew Air?

 

[Raheem]

Ah, Bartholomew Air?

Close enough. BL is the international 2-letter code for St Barts.

 

[Raheem]

It might be helpful to mention that the answers don't all fall within any particular time-frame.

 

[belboid]

okay...famous Miranda's.... I'm stuck after Richardson, Hart and Carmen

 

[planetgeli]

Close enough. BL is the international 2-letter code for St Barts.

So it was the island...

 

[planetgeli]

Sex tract? Kama Sutra? Fuck knows.
