My job was easy this time! It was close though, with mattrom at three votes for 32- and a vote for each of two other clues as well. This week’s prize goes to bad boy skyewalker @23 for his admirably concise and clever:

To couple, old queen gets king erect (5,2)

And here it is:

Thanks to all for the great clues, and may you have a wonderful 2017.

Really chuffed to have won the last PR of the year. (Note to self - always go for the lowest common denominator when clue-setting).

Mattrom, I honestly hadn't counted up vote numbers when I eventually got home and voted thereby, I think, putting myself in an unassailable position and, for me, it was "touch and go" between your @32 and my vote for Les, so Ariosto's task was almost not quite that easy. Thanks so much for your vote. Likewise to FJ, SteveA, Paul and Rossim, and to Pigale and Les for the mentions. (If I've missed anyone out, please forgive me. It's been a long day).

Rossim, when I saw Mattrom's vote for my @21, I had to look back to remind myself what it was and only then saw your @20 posted 1 minute earlier, so we obviously "crossed". Both use "social climber(s)". I think there is some telepathy goes on here.
