Geting 19

Tyke #7 just ahead of Mattrom #15

Aristo #16

Thanks to all who entered this week’s challenge.

8 of the 9 setters received votes, which seems a little unfair on Chris, but I very much enjoyed the “fruit flies” joke!

Thankfully for me, however, this means that there is a clear winner, nudging over the line by a single vote … and it’s Tyke@7…

Insects with a liking for porridge - it soon passes! (4,5)

Congratulations Tyke!

Your prize is a small musical medley…

I rather like this and a “cittern” is one of those old stringed instruments that turn up in clues every so often (in fact it’s been clued twice in the Times and once in the Guardian in recent years)…

Chet Baker playing a Bud Powell classic from 1949 (“Tempus Fugue-it”), recorded in Lidingö, Sweden… https://youtu.be/yrTA5yCRa8o

…and in recognition of your clue, a helping of Porridge… https://youtu.be/5xOldHAIXXo

Cheers all!

Many congratulations Tyke and thanks for the vote Paul

Looking forward to my bowl of porridge in the morning! Many thanks for your votes Dorrien and Geting - `twas nearly a blanket finish Jono!
Enjoyed the clips and the fun challenge - I think ` Porridge ` was liked by many over here!

Well done, Tyke. One vote for each of the nine setters would indeed have been a marvel. Thanks for the vote, buddy, and for the hosting, jono.
