Dorrien @6

Apologies for my tardiness, between fires and the heat the internet has been sporadic.

All the best for the new year to all.

Hmm..I knew this would happen. We have a tie for first place with dorrien #6 and busby #7 on 2 votes.
Skyewalker also received 1 vote for #2 and 3, and BBM2 for #14.

I really liked both clues, but will go with dorrien's bouncy anagram

Oh! I and Lady Gaga made a major celebration

Well done, dorrien! Your prize probably won't be a surprise;

Thanks to all who contributed. It was good to see you again, busby, and I hope you are keeping safe.

Cheers

Commiserations Busby. Thanks for the crown Mattrom and the challenge. I hope all the crew will be back next week.
Ah summertime! We are due for a major ice storm this weekend.
Thanks to Chrise and Busby for the votes.

Nice one, Dorrien! Thanks for your vote. Thanks, also, to Tyke for the vote and for the parse. Much appreciated. Commiserations, Busby. Good to see you back. Cheers, Mattrom. I wouldn't be too downhearted about the lowish turnout. I think it's the time of year. I'm not expecting many entries for Clueless next week. (I may be pleasantly surprised but, otherwise, I'll look on the bright side that it will make judging easier).

Thanks to those that gave me a vote or an honourable mention.
You are correct ChrisE, although both are a form of dry fodder there is a difference.

Congrats dorrien and hard luck on the near miss, busby. Thanks mattrom.

busby, re straw/hay
I read somewhere that if you feed a horse solely on straw, it starves faster than if you don't feed it at all - it expends more energy eating it than it gains from digesting it!

btw I should have said that it's a relief to see you back, busby. I do hope that you haven't been badly affected by the dreadful conditions.

Hi Mathi,
Welcome to Peer Review. There will be another contest next week, if you'd like to submit some clues.
