Gosh! What a roller-coaster ride of feelings, from the pleasant surprise of seeing my post chosen - to quite the opposite when reading the next post.

I can only say, thanks to BBM2 and I hope I can come up with an equally successful word for next week. I enjoyed the clip, too.

On the subject of timing, my plan is to post very early on Tuesday, with a closing time of 1pm Wed. 13th (BST)
Any thoughts on this?

Cheers

I'm very sorry that you were offended, mattrom - yours was a great clue, but I thought that rambler's was unbeatable.

My clue was offered in the same vein as 'Nelson Triumphant' or 'Venus Rising' where the word 'is' is not used. You see headlines like 'MP Shamed or 'Banker Disgraced' in the same manner today and as it was an &lit clue there was no definition. Thanks to chrise for putting his head above the parapet and voicing his opinion.
Congrats mattrom on your win.
