dorrien @16

"Many happy returns" brought a tear to my eye. Still missing my trusty beagle.

Looks like it's all over bar the shouting but I'll leave it till later to make official announcement, to let Mattrom, Les and Marty vote if they wish.

Heading out for a pre-prandial.

Got a beagle on my 11th birthday, Aristo. Strangely sometimes stillll dream abut him.

Don't know where the extra 'll' came from. That's before the pub!

Yep it's mattrom #6 for me too.

Mattrom - POST 6

Congrats Mattrom - great clue
Thanks SK
I share your love of beagles Aristo. I have had two.

Vote goes to ixion #22

Also liked dorrien's "I never regret getting old" anagram

I'll jump the gun on the official announcement and congratulate mattrom. Thanks too to skyewalker.

Hi, folks. As you will all realise, with all votes in, the final tally is

6 Mattrom - 8 votes
15 Aristophanes - 2 votes
16 Dorrien and 22 Ixion - 1 vote each

Of course the winning clue is Mattrom's inspired post #6

A fetching blonde? (6, 9)

One of the dancers bears a striking resemblance to a current resident of our house, but she only dresses like that at the weekends.

(I promise, if I should be fortunate/clever/inspired enough to win another of these challenges, neither the answer to be clued, nor the prize awarded, will be dog-related).

Best wishes to all.

Very well done Matttrom!

Wow Skyewalker! What a clip! How did you find it? The dog is wagging his tail all way through, so obviously enjoying it, I think.
Great clip.
