I'm having trouble with my phone so to, hopefully, ensure posting I'll necessarily be briefer than I'd like. I thought "mausoleum" would prove to be difficult to clue but (as "usual") I've been impressed with the originality and variety of all entries but I particularly liked the use of goldfish, the Nile, " Tales from the Crypt", "Hadrian Mole", USO as morale booster, Moore's allium and the Moscow Mule/Lenin tie in. I hope ab doesn't mind but while "cryptic" made me smile yet again with admiration I feel even ab was outmanoeuvred by jws's "bodybuilding" this week.

However, three that I feel lead the field are Les @ 11, ixion @ 21 and BBM2 @ 26 with marginal preference (after much deliberation and numerous changes of mind) for Les's;

Chamber of Commerce's usual suspect forces Conservative out.

Well done Les, it was an extremely tough decision so plaudits are very much also due to ixion and BBM2. I hope this is "new" to at least some of you: http://youtu.be/5Rv_z2UjYc0

Thanks everyone, it was a pleasure reading and parsing nearly all of them (please put me out of my misery paul, I do hope I've not done you a disservice) and until next week, cheers.
