I hope Paul's OK, as he hasn't voted yet, but I'll close the voting now and sum up. Back soon.

Thanks to those who contributed so generously this weekend.
The final tally (not helped by Google changing how to access 'Sort Range') is;

1 vote each for dorrien 8, FJ 13, patrich 18, spike 20&23
2 votes : FJ 4&6, tyke 22, patrich 24, 27, 28
3 votes: FJ 14
4 votes: jono 17, patrich 25, spike 31
5 votes: geeker 7, tyke 29
Under the voting rules, if there is a tie, the number of first votes comes into play. This means that tyke, with 1 first place, is this weeks winner with his ghost (of the Flying Dutchman?) anagram

Well done, tyke, you get the NYE gig! (...and commiserations to geeker)
Your prizes are inspired by entries from jono, geeker and spike.
