One hour to go. Waiting for whetstone. It could make a difference.

Apologies again...I missed the deadline for voting, so I guess the final votes are unchanged.

THE VERDICT
9 entrants contributed 21 clues, including 8 from Paul the Prolific.
8 entrants voted and everyone was given at least one vote in an evenly spread contest.
In =3rd place with 5 votes were paul@7 and jimmygtal@25. I am glad that I didn't have to separate them for first place as both had a 2-vote along with their three singles.
2nd was jono@17 with 6 votes, including one first place 2-vote.
The winner was jono@9 also with 6 votes but with two 2-votes, emphatically continuing his purple patch with:

I pray a drama queen lives here! (6)

Congratulations, jono! If you win the next Clueless perhaps you have another sequence prepared.

PS: just seen your latest post, whetstone. Yes, I think the voting deadline has to stand otherwise there is no point in stating it. Real life does tend to get in the way of our amusements sometimes! However, I am sure we would be interested in your thoughts.

I always forget something! I should explain that buddy@19 also got 5 votes but they were all singles, so technically he is in 5th place.
