FJ - I think we may have missed the significance of the quotation marks you put around the clue and have gone for the broader definition.....

Tricky one, I thought. I'm not sure what paul means about quotation marks - is there a meaning other than a stack of cards?

Anyway, I liked paul @9, seamus @8 and @16, and jws @36, but my pick is:

mattrom @23

@ ChrisE
"House of cards" is also an expression that dates back to 1645 meaning a structure or argument built on a shaky foundation or one that will collapse if a necessary (but possibly overlooked or unappreciated) element is removed.

My vote goes to Skyewalker @ 14

mattrom @2 with paul @ 9 as runner up

Favourites this week included Paul @4 and Mattrom @22 but, just pipping Seamus @16 (belated congrats on your "Clootie" win - clocked it yesterday) I'm going for

Mattrom @23

House of cards - it's also a TV series (haven't seen it)

Liked mattrom@2, paul@4 & @9, skyew@11.

Vote: skyew@14

A difficult one this week. I'm voting for the NSFW sw @ 14.

Steve @33 with Mattrom @2 as runner up

PAUL @ #4
