Good morning everyone. Thank you for all your extremely kind moral support in this matter.

I fully understand that the clue works, even with the spelling mistake. But the fact remains that there is a spelling mistake and that is why I withdrew my clue. Winning Peer Review means a lot to me but I do not feel comfortable winning it with something that is just plain wrong. So my decision stands I'm afraid.

I will, of course, continue contributing, but will ensure that my spelling is correct Haha. I apologise again for any inconvenience caused.

I agree that samgamgee deserves to win .
At least he admitted a mistake and didn't try to blame his "new phone" or whatever :)
I didn't notice it and I don't think it spoiled the clue .


@ginge - whilst reminiscing for those old puppet shows I was reminded of my unrequited feelings for Destiny Angel !

...I was writing before I saw sam's reply

Well, there you have it - back to the drawing board :(

I only wish It was as easy ginge but as samgamgee amassed so many votes anyone could win - so I don't think it's fair to award the prize to bbm2 (I'm sure bbm2 would agree)

So can everyone who voted for samgamgee please recast your vote. Thanks:)

Hi BBM2,
I'm glad you've not lost your sense of humour. If my memory is correct was she the only angel whose name didn't have a musical connection? Any ideas why?

My - this week is error strewn or what! I mis-typed 6 votes instead of 5 :)

If it helps my second choice would have been syzgy@17

@ginge - I thought they were named after hair styling products

Morning RE

Hope your virtual prize isn't a clip from Pinocchio!!!!!!

My recasted vote is for BigbadMarty2 POST 24

OK guys this how I see it. Currently BBM2 is in the lead with 4 votes followed by ixion with 2.

3 people have yet to recast their votes - ixion, rambler and syzzie. ixion can't vote for himself, syzzie is fast asleep and rambler is out. Therefore I am making the decision that this weeks winner is BBM2 with his very funny clue:

'He's moved by Tracy's suspenders'

My inspiration for 'Marionette' was that it is the 90th Peer Review and being a long lasting fan of the late, great Gerry Anderson - I thought of Joe 90.

I am therefore awarding 2 prizes this week - the first is not so much a puppet, but a bit of ventriloquism from Nina Conti

The second is purely for BBM2 and ginge - get the lava lamp fired up and the flares on for some trendy music
