Evening all , as usual the choice of a winner is a tough decision . Usually I would go through the clues a few times just to make sure that there was no entry that could be deemed superior to the one I selected .
This week I get a different winner each time I go through it !
I've decided to start a marking system , scoring each clue out of a possible 5 for definition , wordplay and surface reading .
Not too sure if it's a good idea to post the entire thing in case any dummies get spat out - that's not what this is about , but the scores are here if you want !

12 points ;- gk#4 , chris#13 , peterm#16 , paul #17 , paul#18 , les#22 and jws#23

13 points ;- ixion#12 and fieryjack#7

the winner with 14/15 is ...

ginge#21

prize to follow (...seem to have lost it !)

Congratulations, ginge - very clever!

Thanks bbm2 for running the comp, and for the mention. Waiting with bated breath for the prize!

....btw BBM2 - did you go through the scoring more than once...........?

Well done, ginge
