[belboid]

2 - Budapest

 

[belboid]

I wanna say Panama for 1, cos its a city or a country, and its panorama with the or taken out, which seems plausible as there is no or in the clue. Sod it:

1 - Panama

23 Bogota

2 Budapest

1 - Panama

No.

23 Bogota

No. I can see where you are coming from (A Togo) but it isn't the answer I have.

Excellent try though.

To help, this clue/answer has 4 letters.

EDIT Y'know what? Sod it. That's such a good answer that fits, and you weren't given letter amounts, so I'm going to give it to you. And leave the clue open to see if someone can give the other answer.

 

[planetgeli]

Clue 1 ever so slightly amended.

Clue 26 is a bit shit, sorry. But I'm stuck with it. It's got one key word in it which is associated with the answer. The answer may not technically translate as being the start of the bends. What are the bends?
Ah sod it. Amended clue.

 

[planetgeli]

So what's left?

1 City Vista (Laos)
4 JC losing his head (Oman)
9 Angry about where to shop for clothes (Singapore)
15...trouble returns after Scots exhortation to start (Mongolia)
18 Impossible to go around the end of September (Norway)
23 A country going backwards (with an answer that isn't Bogota!) (Baku)
26 They may end up in the bends? (Maldives)

And they're all countries with the obvious exception of 23!

 

[Buckaroo]

9 Singapore?

 

[Buckaroo]

26 Helsinki?!

 

[planetgeli]

26 Helsinki?!

Haha. No.

'Sink' bends yeah I get you. But I just said in #167 you're looking for countries now (except 23)

 

[Buckaroo]

23 Baku?

 

[clicker]

18 Norway

 

[Buckaroo]

1 Poland?

 

[planetgeli]

1 Poland?

No

 

[iona]

26 Maldives?

 

[belboid]

1 - Malta

 

[planetgeli]

26 Maldives?

Phew. Thank you.

Sorry belboid but no to Malta.

 

[planetgeli]

Brilliant team effort and I'm sure none of you are interested in individual glory but with three to get the individual leader board is:

JuanTwoThree 7
Buckaroo 7
belboid 4 (but belboid got the theme which is worth a prize on its own)

I think the remaining three are all fair, if maybe tricky. I could have defined/spelled out JC for you but its not like I've picked someone obscure.

And you do have a finite list to help you.
