Cheers Rossim for the detailed explanation and Stevea the said series is well worth watching with the machinations of the main protagonist Francis Urquhart or F.U. being particuarly devilish "You might think that, I certainly couldn't comment".

As it stands after7 votes we have
Sw @ 14 with 4 votes
Mattrom @ 23 with 2 and
Mattrom @ 2 with 1

Like several by SW and Mattrom, also The A @32, going for Steve @33 completing the suit I started....

mattrom - POST 23


rossim, chris, my clue's parse is:

Hopeful climax from sweating = House (In Bingo, when sweating for your last number you are hopeful to get it and shout House!)

Jack's = Jack is (of or from the deck of cards)

weak erection = Def

With all the votes cast the result is as follows
with one vote Mattrom 2 and Paul 4
In third with 2 votes Stevea 33
In second with 3 votes is Mattrom 23
Our winner this week with 4 votes is Sw @ 14
Might be about to collapse, so our shitfaced drunk is losing it.

As usual on a friday my access to IT has gone but as you know I normally pick some piece of music and I think sw you'll probably know what it's going to be.
Congratulations

Well done sw. Thanks for the fun, fj.

Thanks for the votes, paul and dorrien.

Thanks FJ and congrats SW. I must say that I liked the construction of your clue, but.....

Congratulations sw, thanks to fj for hosting and a very challenging word(s) and also thanks to chrise & sw for the mentions.

Neighbours sent their grandchildren over earlier, ostensibly to see Skye, then Mum and Grandma also arrived in relays to severely deplete our wine stores (and also put the kybosh on our plans to visit the pub) so to find I've won this week's competition has been a welcome positive. (That was unfair. I do like these people and enjoyed their company).

Thanks, Rossim, Mattrom, SteveA and Seamus, for the votes, and SteveA (again) and Paul for the mentions. Always appreciated. Cheers, Fiery. I'm trying to think what your choice of prize might be but won't embarrass myself by trying to second-guess. Please post it when you're able.

Until next week.

Best wishes, all.
SW

Congrats SW, I'm pleased to have picked the winner. Thanks FJ for hosting.

@ Les Thanks for the explanation. I wasn't familiar with that definition of sweat.
Anyway, only horses do that. Men perspire and ladies glow.....so they say!

Well done to Skyewalker and Cheers to FJ. Thanks to Chrise, JWS, SW himself and Les for your votes, also to SW, Stevea, Dorrien and Paul for the mentions.
