Hi Rossim@56,
I could see a few anagrams in the word, but didn't expect the great range that was possible.
Apparently 'dite' is a word too, but a bit obscure.

I'll extend the voting for about an hour while I walk the dogs (in the hope that I won't have to choose).

Thanks to all for your enthusiasm and your contributions. I'll wrap this up now as it looks like tango may not vote. Welcome anyway, tango - always good to see a new contributor.
Am I the only one who didn't know that Mandy is a brand or model of blow-up doll? (Courtesy of Google)

It's a choice between two excellent clues, paul@17 and chrise@31.
By a whisker, I'll go with chrise's hidden reverse clue

Project SETI - many doubt it will return sensational results.

Congratulations to chrise and commiserations to paul.
The prize is inspired by the clue you voted for:

Congrats chrise (and well done paul).

Thanks for the tremendous fun - and I really didn't know that about Mandy!

Thanks for the mentions, Skyewalker, dorrien and chrise.

And thanks for the votes, bbm and tatters.

Welcome tango - look out for the Clueless thread on Tuesday, as well as this Peer Review on Thursdays.

Goodness! Thanks mattrom and commiserations paul - very funny clue (though I didn't know about the blow-up doll - makes it even better!)

Very many thanks for the votes FJ, paul and skyewalker and the mention, dorrien, and for running it and the casting vote, mattrom. Commiserations also to rossim, who had more votes in total than either of us!

See you next week!
