Liked Richardk@6, Paul@10, PaulH@12, Mprs@28 and Tyke@16 but voting for:

Tyke @ 26.

Paul #10 for me.

PaulH #12, topicality and a great anagram indicator.

11 votes in and it’s very close, Tyke @26 nudging it by one vote, everyone else tied for silver.
Mathprof still to vote...

Sorry, I am 6 hours earlier in time zone. My vote is @paulh, #12. With all that’s going on over here, I appreciated the timeliness.

And thank you all for the welcomes.

Ok, so all votes are in and we have a tie between Tyke@26 and Paulh@12. It’s an umpire’s decision (to use a cricketing analogy)... hang on

By the smallest of margins it goes to Paulh for the contemporary reference and subtlety disguised anagram indicator! Well deserved Paul. The spread of votes across the board suggests a high standard all round. I also have to give a shout out to granama@15 who would have had my vote and made me laugh!

Congratulations, PaulH, and commiserations, Tyke51. Thanks for hosting, Jono.

Thanks to PaulH for the welcome vote, and to Fieryjack for the mention, also welcome.

Nice one Jono, well hosted and I vicariously enjoyed PaulH's prize. Congrats Paul.

Thanks for the shout out too. I was going to do something about peanuts but was beaten to it by Paul (no H).
