Some great clues, folks. Why does this always happen to me though?

I must say I often forget how much our pronunciation differs. Over here we say Kant the way the Germans do (Kahnt) and levered with a short e (though cantilevered has a long one); but that’s of course beside the point, and I’m the odd man out anyway (I had no trouble with “can”). As much as I admired dj’s very clever clue I’m giving the edge to ixion on the grounds that the definition is more strictly accurate, in that something that’s cantilevered isn’t partially but fully supported, just in a specific way. So:

Toilet always covered thus with members projecting? (12)

wins the day. Here’s the prize- with members projecting:

Let it be noted that greedy kite also received four votes. I know he’ll appreciate the clip, since he too is a fan of FLlW’s architecture.

By the way, this must be the second anniversary of Peer Review, since we’re on week 104. Merry Christmas to all you kind and brilliant people!

Congratulations, ixion, and commiserations to the close runners-up.

Thanks aristo.

Congratulations ixion and commiseration to djawhufc and greedy kite.

Thanks to djawhufc for the vote.

In answer to the 'gold medal' query, I think ixion has the award just ahead of rambler and Aristophanes.

Congratulations I don't mind being runner up to such a fine clue. I agree with Aristo that the definition wasn't quite right in my clue

A well-deserved win again, ixion. Thanks to Aristo for organizing & to those who gave me their vote.
And to those I shan't see elsewhere until then, A Very Happy Christmas etc!!!

Congratulations ixion and well done to the runners-up .

A great job in the hot seat , aristo .
I voted for dj because I tried to involve Herr Kant in a clue and failed miserably ... still pals ?

well done ixion and dja.thanks to aristo for the word. I enjoyed the research on Jane Russell for my clue

I looked it up too, jws - she claimed that she didn't wear it, apparently!

BigBad: Yes, but you can pick up the tab next time.

jws: Such a scholar.
