Buddy 8

Vote - geting@10

paul 18 for me.

Thanks to all the participants. Much ingenuity, and I'm glad it's a PR because some clues were difficult to parse.

Three tied at one vote: mattrom@5, geting@10, spike@30.
Paul had the most overall votes, but split between 2 clues. Self-tied for silver: paul@7 and paul@18.
The winner with three votes and one like: buddy@8 with the apropos Beginning to drown in misery? Stop and enjoy English humorist! (9)

Congratulations, buddy! Commiserations to paul, but well done.
