Oops! I just noticed that I forgot to change the date in the preamble. I see the advertisers are now placing their ads within posts. Grrr...
Thanks to all who contributed this week, and welcome back to dorrien.
Spike, I've attributed your vote for tyke 18, to tyke 8, as you also voted for bigblind 19 (and BB did pen #18)
The final tally is;
1 vote each for paul 4, FJ 20, spike 22/23
2 votes: FJ 25, spike 27, bigblind 18/19
3 votes: dorrien 7
5 votes: chrise 2, jono 5&14
6 votes: FJ3, tyke 8
With 7 votes each, we have a tie for first place between simplesimon 6 and paul 11. The rules don't help me as neither had an outright first place. I'll fall back on the possibly spurious reason that paul has 1 vote for another clue .. so this week's winner is paul, with his clever part anagram

Cheers.

Good one Paul and thanks Mattrom
Thanks for the votes from Jono. Paul and Simplesimon

Thanks also for the welcome back after three months on the shores of Lake Superior. I suspect we were the only ones complaining of the cool wet summer we had. But a good time nevertheless. i was able to look in and enjoy your efforts over the summer.

Well done Paul & Simplesimon! Good wordchoice Mattrom - appreciate the votes and see you all next time.
