Good evening everyone,
Thanks for all your entries, as usual it has been a pleasure working through them. I think you all deserve a mention for coming up with a clue for, what I felt, was a difficult word(s)... so well done!

Particular favourites included Steve @ 12 (you HAD to include BASQUE in one of your clues...!), ginge's lovely anagram @ 19 and SW's polished anagram @21.

There can only be one winner though and this week it's Paul's delightful post 5,

American Hispanic (WTF?) flies to Uganda with hard liquor (10)

Well done Paul! Here's your prize (more big hair...)

Congratulations paul, cheers for hosting and the mention therogue (rather than just being an anagram it's an attempt at an &lit with Haig, arguably, being the first commercial grain distillery and the majority of Scotch is distilled (anagrind) twice.

Ah yes I did see you Haig reference ginge, though it's a whisky I've never tried (and I do like a drop!). It seemed to disappear here in England for many years, but now its back in all the supermarkets. I really liked your clue and its &lit nature, but just preferred Paul's.

Hi again therogue, I hope you don't think I was questioning your decision. I was merely pointing out there was a bit more to the clue than being a straight anagram.

Wow! Thanks a lot TR - I was sure one of the others you mentioned was going to win it!

Is this one of your favourite tipples? I'd never heard of it!

Anyway, thanks for the great clips. I shall heed the warnings!

See you all next week.

Paul
