Where's Solomom when you need him? Can't list all the good ones as that's nearly the whole range! My particular favourites, then, are;
Mattrom 8, Peter 11, Fiery 14, Prof 25, Jon 31, Marty 38, Paul 44....Phew!

Vote Jafo 41

Just waiting for JWS now. I hope he doesn't put me on the spot!

It looks as though JWS parsed his clue for ChrisE and forgot to vote!

It's now past 10 pm and I have a glass of sauvignon blanc poured so I'm pleased to announce the results.

I won't list the 9 clues that gained 3rd place with a vote each.

In joint 2nd place with 2 votes each are jafo @42 and Buddy @20

Well done Rosalind @ 12 you held on to your lead with 3 votes with a clue that made me laugh

Weapon of Indian v cowboy, excited but not bashful. (3)

Your prize will appear soon.

Thank you all who entered. A mention here too for Spike who entered 6 good clues.
Two completely different prizes, Rosalind. Please take your pick, or you may have both!

Goodness me, I even had to scroll back to see what I'd written!
Thank you rossim, that was such a wonderful and productive word.
Thank you also chris, marty and jafo for your voes and mattrom, dorrien and granama for their mentions.
I shall go pour myself a glass of Pinot Grigio (a good one!) so, cheers, rossim!
I'll look in tomorrow to view the prize and hope to see you all next week.

I looked anyway! The second of the prizes reminded me of a book I "had" to read for a book club and ended up enjoying-

Congratulations to the lovely rosalind, and thanks to the lovely rossim for hosting, the lovely mattrom for the vote, and the perhaps not so lovely buddy, spike, and dorrien for the likes.

I had mentioned a few favorites when voting but my post disappeared. I liked bigbad's wow-factor, buddy's bond yield, and rosalind's cowboy (others too of course). I've been having so much trouble with this site; the captcha often isn't there at all or doesn't work, and my text vanishes. Most frustrating.
