Good one, Mattrom.

I was toying with SEAM, homophone SEEM (real).

Btw, still chuckling over your clue for PR131. Nice &lit.
Went with Ginge's because I had to struggle to parse it.

Maybe there could be a point system:
1st choice = 3, 2nd = 2, 3rd =1
though that might complicate things for the setter.

Cheers.

Hi syzygy,

It's good to get a mention anyway. Sometimes the clues don't look as good when I've posted them as they did on the jotter pad!

I hear you, mate.

Often wish there was an edit function on this forum because it always seems some tuning would make a clue better. I guess one shouldn't charge right in but let it brew for a while.

Had a surprise win on CL168, and now, the more I look at my clue the less I like it.
Oh well. The tough part for me will be parsing some of the brilliant stuff that will posted.
