Good evening everyone. Thanks for all your excellent, creative entries this week and well done to those that picked up on my inspiration for the Clueless 111 word (BBM2@21, jws @26 and kiwikid @31).

Clues that were in close contention - bernie @10, greedy kite @17 and rambler @30 (exploding enemas – perish the thought!). However, there can only be one winner and this week that distinction falls to aristophanes @22 with:

‘He's got his own column (number 10 on the charts for periodicals) filled with tips for latent sailors’

Congratulations aristophanes, cleverly worded clue IMHO. Your prize is a brief ‘virtual’ tour round HMS Victory - which is probably just as well as I seem to remember you saying you’re quite tall! However, it is well worth a visit if you ever come to the UK.
