Ok guys here's my thoughts.

First of all thanks for the great response a healthy 35 clues from 14 setters.

Honourable mentions are too many to mention. There were many different approaches in your clues this week .

I'm choosing a well hidden acrostic with a super smooth surface

This week's champ is tyke51 #28

Snooker cue, receiving extra weight, starts to twist (5)

Your prize - (new one to me !)

Thanks again al

Marty

Good challenge, marty: attracted quite a variety of entries. Congrats tyke51.

Liked the clip: not sure that I will attempt it, though. Does it work for screw tops? (Nod to target word).

Congratulations, tyke, and thanks, bigbad.

Wow, ginge. Hope you remembered your hat and umbrella. :)

I've been having a lot of trouble posting lately; there's usually no CAPTCHA box to check, and when there is it usually doesn't work.

Thanks Marty - I wanted to bring `side` onto the (snooker) table but had to settle for `twist` ... enjoyed the clip - I`m sure the French chap suddenly became very popular once the bottle was open!
