A quick recap before we get hit by the next spam storm.

By my reckoning, there are 32 clues from 16 setters. With 3 votes still to be cast, the postion is:

skywalker (post 5): 4 votes
fieryjack (post 14): 3 votes
jws (post 34): 2 votes
fieryjack (post 3), aristo (post 27), seamus (post 13), bbm2 (post 42): 1 vote each.

We're still waiting to hear from scottiemallotie (making his/her debut, I think, so welcome to you), stevea6000 and heathcliff67, so it's still all to play for.

Thanks Chris. I missed that one.

I'm going to wrap things up now. The final position is:

fieryjack (post 3), aristo (post 27), seamus (post 13), bbm2 (post 42), stevea6000 (post 26): 1 vote each
jws (post 34): 2 votes
fieryjack (post 14): 3 votes
And the winner, with 4 votes is skyewalker (post 5) with his clever subtractive anagram: "Respected politician developed a means test after European split"

So, congratulations skyewalker.

For your prize, I hope ixion won't mind if I borrow a leaf from his book and present a clip from WILTY, featuring the wonderfully surreal Bob Mortimer: http://.youtube.com/watch?v=kgI3Y7gxMO4

Thanks to all for taking part.
