Good Evening all,

Well! We have an interesting situation.
17 clues from 12 setters

Greedy Kite & ixion on 4 each
fiery & aristo on 1 each

10 votes in with just ixion and Busby not yet voted.

I'm gonna have to think how to play this one as it could end up being slightly unfair to either GK or ixion, depending on the result.

Sorry to butt in.
Busby finds it very difficult to vote in that time slot (which is why I started the voting at noon :-)) ). He might look in a bit later, I guess

Cheers Rosalind,

I forgot about the time zone difference for Busby. I'll leave the voting open until all have voted. I think midnight here is around noon tomorrow down under.
Hope that's ok with everyone.

Thanks for waiting Les. It's a 9 hour difference during your summer and 11 hours during your winter, bar a couple of weeks when we all adjust our clocks for "daylight saving" at slightly different times.

Lots of good clues, many requiring knowledge of a certain song. I prefer a clue where the answer is able to be found with out "specialist" knowledge. I feel a lot of clues appear easy because the answer is already known.

GK@5 takes my vote this week.

Thanks for hosting and I guess congrats to Gk.

Thanks for the nod Fieryjack. I was flagging! We often like more than one entry but can obviously only choose one. This means some of us will keep scoring "nil points"! After a while it can get a bit disheartening. I like Fieryjack's idea of giving a mention to other entries even though they weren't his first choice. This means that entrants who might never get first choice votes didn't fail completely and will be motivated to keep trying! Thanks again FJ!

Congratulations, GK - one of the few clues that was actually solvable!

Thanks, les, for organising, and thanks for the mention, heathcliff.
