Kelvin's little known scientific experiment sounds like an alcohol fuelled fighter plane? Why, that's as low as it gets! (8,4)

Edit: misread your clue, so disregard above.

Glasgow - founded by an ape in the woods to the East? Floats my boat. (5,5)

**BonnieShels** · 19/08/2011, 2:28 PM

Absolute Zero for the first one.

The current clue requires a little more thought.

I don't think it's been a problem getting the answer, more likely what to do with the next clue, and to be honest, working back trying to figure out the last one!

Anyway:
River Clyde flows on to this Summer Bay original. (5)

Anybody?

**BonnieShels** · 15/09/2011, 12:53 PM

I wad thinking about Arran jumpers as that's the first island out the Clyde.

**Mr A** · 15/09/2011, 1:23 PM

I was thinking the Summer Bay was a Home and Away reference. But thankfully I don't know enough to take it further unless the answer is somehow Alf Stewart.

**passinginterest** · 15/09/2011, 1:26 PM

Home and Away is where I'm looking for an answer too. Original characters would include Morag, Pippa, Bobby, Ailsa. I can't find anything to link any of those names to the Clyde though.

**pineapple stu** · 15/09/2011, 1:31 PM

Great Scott's fat ladies? (6-5)

Edit - answer changed cos apparently I imagined those nicknames.

**stann** · 15/09/2011, 9:20 PM

Oops!
Sorry folks, completely forgot I'd posted a clue here, appalling form, can only apologise!

Anyway:
River Clyde flows on to this Summer Bay original (5)
_ _ _ _ A

The answer's already been mentioned above though.

PI, you should get that google doodad on the interweb.

**pineapple stu** · 16/09/2011, 8:25 AM

WTF?! How's "Pippa" make more sense than "Scott"?!

[/bitter]

**BonnieShels** · 16/09/2011, 8:43 AM

No idea. Ailsa would also fit. I assumed that there was a love interest called Clyde for Pippa at some stage and that Stann was bring very very rude.

I withdraw my answer and activity in this thread until its answered.

**pineapple stu** · 16/09/2011, 8:58 AM

Ah. You appear to have watched the show. I just figured Scott was a name (and a River Clyde reference obviously) and googled it to see if he was in the show. Given that it was Jason Donovan's character, I figured that was high profile enough to be the answer. Not exactly scientific! Then stann's revelation that A was the last letter completely threw me.

So yeah, let's just wait for confirmation from stann.

**passinginterest** · 16/09/2011, 9:08 AM

Stu, Scott was in Neighbours, the other Aussie soap based in Ramsey Street, not Home & Away based in Summer Bay. You lack of knowledge of such matters worries me. What kind of student were you?
