Sorry to keep you all waiting. I have a game of tennis early on Saturday morning and it went on a bit today. Still lost though.

There's been drama since my last post, with votes coming in from Paul and fiery. Luckily for me, fiery's vote is decisive. So, the final position is that Steve and mattrom (2 enties) with 2 votes apiece were just pipped by aristo with 3 votes. It was also interesting just how widespread the voting was this week.

Well done aristo on a well-deserved win with: "Perform definitive screw and pretend to not get anything (4,3,4)"

The prize is a clip featuring a "national treasure" who sadly passed away last week and is a rich source of PR and Clueless prizes (though I'm not sure if he ever made it to your side of The Pond, aristo). It goes back to 1966 but still resonates today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VxkltwS9g0

Thanks to everyone for taking part.

Well done aristo and many thanks peterm for hosting and the clip.

@chrise

Perform definitive screw and pretend to not get anything

I see a simple charade - perfom(=play) definitive(=the) screw(=fool)
the remainder as def. - act dumb etc.


btw does anyone know how to overdub audio onto a youtube vid?
A friend of mine would like to edit that very sketch !
