Some really great clues all round with several short straws i drew 27

Thanks for the entertainment folks Cheers!

Ps Thanks for the vote GK nice to see you back round again
Pps Stevezodiac thank you for the heads up, see you around.

It's a tough nut to crack this week with some real beauties, but my vote goes to

peterm POST 14

2 votes to come and it's a close with Aristophanes & BBM2 with 3 votes each :)

Excellent clues all around this week, interspersed with some absolute corkers – so thank you for your efforts.

As it's a tie I unfortunately have had to make a decision and the winner this week is Aristophanes with:

'Big coffee seller giving support to nothing apart from church'

Your prize is a comedy clip from the ever loquacious Sarah Millican, containing a somewhat tenuous connection to this week’s word. I hope you enjoy it (and understand the accent) :)

Hi Sorry I missed the voting--been totally and unexpectedly outwith all day. But my vote would not have helped the deadheat as I am adopting a policy of voting for outsiders from now on. I think the big boys had better look over their shoulder.
By the way Big seller of coffee does not define Brazil , it merely describes it. Actually old Mr Robinson down the corner shop also sells a lot of coffee.
Thea (as always) Yours

Thanks heaps Redelf, hope you're well.

Congrats Aristo.

Thank you very much, redundantelf. I enjoyed the clip (what accent?). Thanks also to teff7, BigBad, and peterm for the votes, to busby, ginge, and stevezodiac for the mentions, and to THEA for the, uh, gracious comments (might I point out that there are also other states besides Brazil?). I so enjoyed reading the many excellent clues, and was especially happy to see the always inspired "insider" peterm here. And congratulations to BigBad- very nice.

Well done Aristo good clue.
Thanks RE for hosting didn't see the tenuous connection but I like Sarah anyway.
Thea, still whining, if you do not vote for who you consider the best what's the point? Oh! but you didn't.

I think the connection was the first three letters of the answer, mrw. :)
