Thank you penda and tyke!

As folks have mentioned, some great clues ! Just waiting for Mattrom and Hannah now

Good morning all. Liked lots, especially the cheeky ones, JWS 21 and SW 6, also FJ's golfing 29

Voting for aristo #23

I'm still quite new to this - what's the etiquette on how long to wait for the last voter ?

Okay then guys. I'm going to use my discretion and call this in.
We had 27 clues from 12 different setters, and lots of clever ( and smutty ) ways of arriving at COARSE. Lots of co - runners up on one vote , namely Hannah @17, Mattrom @26, Spike2 @19, jws @21 and FieryJack @25. But we have a neck and neck situation at the top of the leader board, with both Skyewalker @6 and Aristophanes @23 on 3 votes each. Personally, my second place would have gone to Mattrom's @8, and my first choice was.....Aristo's @23 :

" Primitive paddles used in dugout canoe "

So well done Aristo, and commiserations to SW. Both cracking clues though !
I suppose this week's prize will just have to something rude....

Good clue Aristo - thanks Malcolm

Well done, Aristo, and thank you very much for your vote.
Thanks also to Tyke, Paul, FJ, SW, and Malcolm for the mentions.
Cheers, Malcolm, enjoyed the challenge.

Sorry folks, late night and slept through the voting deadline

My vote would not have affected the outcome . . Rosalind #4

The voting did reflect the closeness of the contest

Thanks for the mentions

Congratulations, Aristophanes. Thanks for officiating, Malcolmxword.

Big thanks to Rosalind for the vote, and to Nemo and Paul for the mentions.

Well done, Aristo. Richly deserved. A big thank you to Nemo, Paul and FJ, for the votes, and to Aristo, Rosalind, Spike and Mattrom, for the mentions. Sincerely appreciated. (Hope I haven't missed anyone out - if so, apologies). Thanks, Malcolm, for running the show.

Of necessity, my contributions in the near future may be intermittent (as opposed to non-existent as they have been until now, this month). I'll shove my oar in when I can. Before anyone asks, my health is fine (well, as fine as anyone of my age who has abused their body over several decades can expect).

Best wishes, all.

SW
