Friday quiz - bonus round

Post by Rorthron »

A short bonus round for the Friday quiz. Five non-cryptic word clues:

1. Spray stuff
2. A plague of insects
3. A different gender expression in the morning
4. Chef, that is
5. Nocturnal blind

What's the connection between the answers?

Aaahh nice one, you're on fire today, stupidget.

:) I usually include an Ultimate title. I hadn't realised Nightshade was especially common, though. It's just a lack of imagination.

The solutions to these puzzles are almost always Spectrum related (not surprising since we are a Spectrum.site). I'm not aware, apart from an obscure type in from Computer Choice of a Spectrum game with that title.

It's probably best to search for the game on our main site before answering in future.

[mention]PeterJ[/mention], it's probably also best not to answer clues that have already been answered, but I'm not sure there is any point in explaining these things to MrPixel.
