Darla's vote for 6 goes to Jon 31

Cheers mattrom, chris and Paul

I never wrote a cook book, mattrom, only one about a Victorian ship's captain. That took a year after the research so never again! May look in at the competitions again after your encouragement.

Tyke #3
Jono #4
Paul #7 #16 #18 (I must be a big fan of your efforts Paul)
Jono #31

Comeback Rosalind

Ros - perhaps your captain fancied himself in the galley?

Thanks to the hardy band who contributed this weekend. The final tally is;
1 vote for paul 13, 14,18
2 votes for buddy 8, dorrien 27, 28, tyke 29
3 for chrise 2
4 each for tyke 3, jono 4, paul 7
Tied for first place, with 5 votes, are paul 16 and jono 31. They also have one first place vote each, so I can't use that fall-back. However, totting up votes for clues overall, paul pulls ahead, so this weeks's winner is paul with his succinct (and possibly topical) anagram

Opts to change job

Well done, paul! This prize is some history

Cheers

Well earned win Paul! Appreciate the votes and thanks for the hosting duties Mattrom ... and the 🐕!

Ros - you could write a book about Captain Cook!

Well done Paul
Thanks Mattrom. I thought the dog was ours but the guitarist did not look familiar!

Cheers Mattrom - an amazingly fertile word! I was trying to make up the deficit in entries.. Thanks for the prizes - great history lesson, and the dog seems in a trance. Where did the dog end and the carpet begin?
Thanks everyone for the votes. Hope next week sees the end of the extended Easter break...

Tyke 46 - excellent! Blackbeard had to stay out of the galley after losing half the food into his pride and joy...

Congrats Paul, well deserved. Thanks for the challenge, Mattrom, enjoyed the clips.
