Many thanks for your entries. 25 clues from 12 setters which is down a bit as it was a tough challenge but good efforts from all as usual and I have enjoyed going through them and am not facing an easy choice. Some highlights:-

There were several variations on the “leg it mate” idea. I think all were good but I would give the edge to Aristo.
Aristo @3 Dash ego and get it on for real (10)
Jono @9 Just take off with one friend (10)
Paul@7 Go away pal, I was here before you – honest! (10)
Tyke51 @16 Sound limb man claims to have consumed (10)

Anagrams were tough and I thought the best was
Paul@4 I’m late – I get in trouble. That’s normal (10)
I also liked Tyke51 and "loses"
Proper mad at Tim, Gisele loses (10)

Others making it into the short list were
PaulH @12 Acceptable to put it on member before I have intercourse (10)
Paul @6 Frank is kosher (10) and
Fj @18 Right and proper, I'm seething (10)

The final line up is
Bronze Paul@4
Silver Aristo@3
Gold to PaulH @12 for the risque:-

Acceptable to put it on member before I have intercourse (10)

Is this your inauguration into the Bad Boys' Club?

Your prize is an oldie but goldie.
