paul@3

Hi rossim,

I'm saw it as:

Right = OK
overcharge = O[c]K
lots of Bourbon = ry-e
around = r (O[c]K y

Hi Les
That makes sense too. We''ll have to wait for Aristo.
Will it affect your vote? Of course you have until 10pm.

Hi rossim,

Both wordplays are feasible.

I've not decided yet, I'm down to a shortlist of 3.

paul #3

Paul #3 is now in the lead with 5 votes.
Rosalind #17 has 3 votes
Ginge#7, Tatters#28, Ixion#8, BBM2#11 and Mattrom#30 all have 1vote.

Tatters and Les40 are still to vote. They could make a difference.

Les: ginge has got it.

Sorry- rossim too.

Paul - POST 3

Thanks Les, that seals it for Paul#3 and we don't have to wait for Tatters to vote.
I'm pleased to be able to finish this now as I have to be up before dawn to go on holiday.
Congratulations Paul. I would have chosen your clue too.

Rough old bird gets lubricated with this. (5)

Rosalind's was very well constructed but I'm inclined to go for the naughty ones!
I chose your prize first and then found a word to fit (very loosely). I found it easier that way.
I wanted a word that meant wobbly/unsteady. I came across ROCKY which I realised was a contronym and was linked with film and mountain range giving plenty of scope.
I've enjoyed reading your clues and hoped you enjoyed the challenge.
The prize will appear on the next post.
