With only Paul M left to vote, the race for gold is still wide open. Back in a couple of hours for summing up and awarding of prizes.

@Geeker

Good of you to give me a vote @20, however, it's Chrise with that post number.

Apologies, spike. Misread my illegible notes.

My vote spike@20 should read spike@26

Glad it's still a vote for me, Geeker! No need for an apology.

1 Paul H 13
1 Geeker 15
1 Tyke 16
1 Chris 22 (how about "built"?)
1 Spike 26 (would have given more votes if I'd had them available)
1 Jon 34

All right, all votes are in, and Paul has created quite a dilemma for me. First of all though, tied for bronze with hiddens are Geeker @15 and Tyke @16. Congrats on your podium finish, gentlemen. We also have a tie at the top between the two Pauls. Buddy's rules are ambiguous - each has a first-place vote, although Paul M got one for 3 points. However, as they are both excellent clues, and I couldn't pick between them, it feels fair to me to award them joint golds. If there are no objections, let's assign the hosting for next week to Paul H, as he has just recently returned. Bravo, gentlemen, you are the winners with

Paul M @4: Came across some soldiers returning on the underground (5)

Paul H @13: Underground tremor violently wiping out centre of Paris (5)

Enjoy your prizes.

I'm confident that had Buddy been around, he would have crafted a clue referencing this last one.
