Hi, busby - after I posted I realised I HAD got my sums wrong and I've been trying to work out the times down under! I'm glad the 10pm suits and I hope that time will be adopted by other setters. The problem is that people store the preamble and just alter the no. of the competition and the word.

The preamble I used this week used to appear as single line double spacing on the old site but looks a right dog's dinner on this new site.

I've done an edit and I'll post below to see if it fits. Of course it may look different on others' monitors - mine is not a widescreen.

PEER REVIEW XX

A competition to compose the best cryptic clue, judged by your fellow contestants.

You may enter as many clues as you like and everybody is welcome to have a go.

Please feel free to explain your clue if you think it will help.

Everybody who enters may vote for their favourite clue, please state name and post no.

The entry with the most votes wins and its composer sets next week's competition.

Post your clue by 4pm Friday when voting opens, deadline for voting is 10pm..

The setter has a deciding vote in the event of a tie and may change the rules if necessary.

The setter will declare the winner and donate an online prize.

This week's answer to be clued is: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Good Luck!

Well, that looks better - carry on clueing!

Looks good on my crappy old laptop....but this forum appears different (not so good) on the desktop we have, thanks for your efforts....i do enjoy the competitions that are run and they have taught me a lot.
