The faintly irritating puzzle page
Listed below are twenty themed sentences. The red letters are an anagram of the answer, and the whole sentence is a clue. Make sense? Of course not, so here is an example...
If the theme was Television the clue could be:
This week, Homer and Bart find some moth's spines.
The answer is The Simpsons. Homer and Bart are characters from the show, and "moth's spines" is an anagram of "The Simpsons." Do you see? Do you? WELL, DO YOU?
Well, have a go at these anyway...
