Les 22

AB @ 20

There's still time to vote. I have to run off to the train station and may be a bit late posting the results; I also may need to ask for a bit of parsing if I have to break a tie. Since ixion entered a clue I think he should vote. Just waiting for syzzie and Les otherwise.

Several good ones, but ...
once I understood it, ginge @ 19 for elegance.

Les is off to Wales. Not sure if he has access.

ginge: Would you mind parsing 23 for me? I thought "pogs" was involved in the wordplay, but I'm not sure.

Glad to aristo,

backing odds-on a goalless game.
The hyphen is there to mislead (odds-on being less than even money in betting) odds = SP (starting price)
+ (on) O-O a match with no goals = spoo, backing (continuing the betting theme) gives oops.

if I l may aristo
odds = starting price or sp
o-o goaliess game of soccer

sorry ginge , I did give you a full 10 minutes !

Ah! Of course. Back soon. Having site problems though, so please be patient.

Thanks BBM2 I appreciate you having done so as I may not have looked in. Cheers.
