Thanks for hosting Mattrom - judgement accepted unequivocally of course. At least we voted for the winning clue - well done Paul!

Congrats Paul and hard luck, SS. Thanks mattrom.

The first prize reminds me of the story of the bride who told the organist that she wanted the song from "Robin Hood" for her entry, and got "Robin Hood, Robin hood, riding through the glen" rather than "Everything I do".
The second clip was very American!

Thanks for all the votes...

[btw I can't understand the objection to the Oxford comma - without it sentences could become ambiguous. I always use it.]

A note re the 'Words List'
This list has now had 18 ads inserted into it. This makes it tedious to C&P, as I would have to copy it with the ads, or do it in 18 sections. The next one will be a copy from my spreadsheet, so in a slightly different format.
Alternatively, I could just post a link to a spreadsheet. The list now has over 1300 entries, so is very long.
I've often wondered if it would matter if words were repeated.
What do others think?

Congrats Paul and thanks for hosting Mattrom, enjoyed the challenge. Thanks to all for votes.

Mattrom, do you use an Ad Blocker? I do and I donโ€™t see ads anywhere on the site.

Jono, the ad blocker leaves blank spaces, which still get copied with the lists, and spring back up in the next post as ads.

Nice one, Paul! Pleased to see you back on top! Commiserations, Simplesimon.

Thanks for hosting, Mattrom. Sorry about the votes confusion. Funnily enough, when I hosted the last PR, I meant to thank you for keeping the lists updated. Especially as I wanted to use Clueless as the word to clue, and without the list, I might have shied away from using it, thinking that it may well have been used already. I'm ambivalent re: repeating the words. Possibly leaning towards not using them. Don't know if that helps!

@Mattrom

Of course, if it is/becomes problematic to keep them updated, I would have no problem whatsoever, if you decide to stop.

Thanks again for your efforts.
