Closer to hell? circa 50 years shorter, with this in your blood (11)

(Very first attempt, sorry)

Some good ones coming in!
I intend to close the books on this around 4.30ish and announce the result at 5.00. Today's prize will be a share in one lucky dip on today's Lotto. (I know, I am too generous). Any prize up to £100 you get all of it...over £100, you get 25% of the money.(I am not that generous!) If the ticket wins we can sort out the contact details via Big Dave's site (I am sure he wont mind). I will publish the lotto numbers at the same time as the winner announcement so you know that it is a genuine prize.
Good Luck !!

Hi never done this before so apologies in advance if it's rubbish

Reader and fish happy to start chewing the fat (11)

This is a great idea. Here's my try:

Many thanks Chrisg for your kindness and generosity.
Thanks for your enthusiasm P@.
And, thanks to all who are "having a go". Some super clues already appearing.

REM! The judge's decision is final. Think Judge Judy!

Chrisg
To avoid this thread becoming cluttered, would you think it better for the judge (for the day) to start a new thread for the next competition). You could cut/paste the thread preamble with the addition of the new daily new-thread advice. Again - THANK YOU!

PS. Daily? Is this too much? How about weekly a la Jolan's 5 (at 5). Maybe every Wed?

Hi Jolan - Yep, agree a new thread makes sense. I am having a problem figuring out a couple of these clues!..I will suggest to the new judge that he/she cut and paste the header etc.

Jolan - I agree with you - I think daily will be too much - Anyone disagree with Jolan re holding this every Wed?

Lots of cheese rolls, so selflessly treated by statins? (11)

P.S Great idea. Once a week is enough.
