Thanks all for your contributions.
Unbelievable!. Until Spike’s vote we had an 11 way tie so thanks Spike for making the job easier.
I had prepared a short list in case I had to do a clueless. Chris #3, Mattrom #11, Patrich (so topical) #16,Buddy #21 and Fj #41

So with two votes Fj takes the nail biter with:-

No artificial intelligence needed for aspiring mechanism (6)

Well done Fj. Here are your prizes and I pass the baton to you.

I do play but not quite at this level!

Congrats FJ and thanks, dorrien. Many thanks for the vote, darla, and the mention, mattrom.
Thanks for the clips. Pickleball has come up a lot recently, but I had no idea what it was.
I must confess, that, when I was on a fern trip to South Africa, I ate barbecued springbok - OK, but I'm not waiting for another try. The barbecue did include some other native antelopes as well, none as good as the springbok.
I'm surprised that the voiceover didn't mention "stotting".

Well done Fj - enjoyed the springboks Dorrien! 🟨🟦

Nice one, Fieryjack! Thanks for hosting, Dorrien.

Look I just got back home and ready to vote, then I find out I've already been chosen
My pick would have been between Paul 8 and Tyke 17,which wouldn't have helped anyway.

Congrats Fiery, many thanks Dorrien, good challenge. Cheers for the vote Buddy :-) 🇺🇦

Thank you's to Jws and Spike for the votes in the closest contest of all time, i don't think many have won with two votes.
I will endeavour to come up with a difficult challenge for next week. See you then

My sincere apologies Jono for the vote and to Paul and Mattrom for the likes, always appreciated

Congrats, FJ! Cheers to Dorrien for the challenge - excellent word choice.
Thanks to Tyke and Patrich for your votes, and to Chrise, Jono and Patrich for the mentions.
Tyke, thanks for asking - I'm high and dry, unlike many others.

Hurray for FJ and everyone else too. Thanks to paul for the vote.
