aristo@22

@ Stevea - I meant yours @26 (I think - the one about 'three
articles')
Sorry, not having a good day!

Hi everyone. An excellent turnout.

If my arithmetic is correct, there are 30 clues entered by 13 setters. With responses still awaited from 2 setters, namely Paul and busby, the position is:

Aristo (post 22): 3 votes
Aristo (post 11): 2 votes
Seamus (post 8): 2 votes
Steve (post 25), ixion (posts 28 & 29), mattrom (post 32): 1 vote each.

With the votes so widely spread, it’s all to play for. I’ll give it till around 9:00 pm and then draw a close.

Stevea @ 25

It probably won't make any difference but my vote was for mattrom @ 33

Thanks for the correction, rossim. I meant mattrom@33.

Anyway, It's time to call it a night. The final position is:

Aristo (post 22): 3 votes
Aristo (post 11), Seamus (post 8) and Steve (post 25): 2 votes each
ixion (posts 28 & 29), mattrom (post 33): 1 vote each.

So, well done, Aristo (it was my favourite, too).

And the prize is a bit of Del Boy magic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFuYIi5-igc
(I feel sure I've given this before, in which case I offer no apology at all. It's a timeless classic and worthy of a second look)

Thanks to all for taking part.

Well done, aristo. Thanks, peterm. Thanks for the mention, pigale, and the votes, mattrom and busby.

Can someone parse the winner, please? I get that Merkel is a leader, but 'songs sung'?

"Lieder" (pronounced "leader") is German for "songs".

Congratulations Aristo
Cheers Peterm

Well done to Aristo and cheers to Peterm.
Thanks to Rossim for your vote and Pigale for the mention - much appreciated.
