Congrats, buddy. Looks like you were storing up your creative energy while away. Thanks for hosting, mattrom, and thanks for the mention as well.

Peer Review now starting.

Back with a bang Buddy - well deserved win! Thanks for the mention Mattrom - enjoyed the clips.

Congats buddy - I thought that was the winner as soon as I saw it (and thought my entry was a waste of time, though thanks for analysing it, mattrom).
Lots of thanks for hosting, mattrom. We went to Dire Straits at the Lewisham Odeon some (OK, lots of) years ago, and were very disappointed - it was the end of a long tour, and Mark didn't play the "fiddly bits".

Thanks, mattrom - I have always believed that you can never go wrong with stock market-related wordplay, although as I type that it occurs to me that this is why my invitations to social gatherings have dwindled away over time....

Thanks for the clips. As of March, earmarks in Congress are back, this time with "safeguards to prevent corruption and malfeasance." Problem solved!

Congrats Buddy your clue was my first choice also. Thanks for the challenge Mattrom and for the mentions, ea is a favourite of mine ;-)

Well done, buddy, and thanks for the thorough debrief, mattrom.

Congrats Buddy - I agree with Chris - I thought yours was brilliant!
Thanks Mattrom , and comments appreciated. Doug - glad to have introduced you to some parochial obscurity!

Very nice, buddy. Thanks for the mention, mattrom.

Congratulations Buddy
Cheers Mattrom and thanks for the tick

Paul, I've also recently learned that "volunteers" in a British crossword is TA.
