You all deserve a pat on the back.

Actually Aristo I have a confession to make. I was skimming through the clues a bit too fast and missed the full parsing of yours. Considering that it's less fiendish than many of your others, my transgression is even more heinous. There - recent skeleton out of closet.
Anyway the point is that your clue is excellent! Luckily my skimming some votes from my other achievers in your favo(u)r would not have afected the result
Cheers Jon for sparing my blushes. Thanks Spike for a great challege.

Congrats Aristo, top drawer, commiserations Buddy also a great clue. Cheers Spike for a good challenge. Thanks to Paul, Buddy and Fiery for votes, much appreciated.

Top effort Aristo - well done! Hard luck Buddy and thanks for the votes.
Good word choice Spike - see you all next time!

Well done to both Aristo and Buddy. Thanks to Tyke, FJ, Geeker, Patrich and Mr A for your votes.
Cheers, Spike, for an intriguing word to clue and running the challenge.

Well deserved Aristo. Commiserations Buddy.
Good job Spike

Congrats aristo - the better clue won. Thanks to all for the votes and to spike for a stellar turn in the big chair.
