Liked Paul@18 and Skyewalker @26
My vote this week goes to
Fieryjack @16

rosalind@11

Lots of good ones. Like fj#16 and paul#17 but going for BBM #19 which is not only clever but made me laugh.

Ros 11

Much as I liked the "teach" def, L'm voting for busby #36 - a very tidy clue.

Good morning, everyone. With 1 vote outstanding, any of 3 clues could be the winner, so I'll extend the voting for about an hour. Will have to sum up then as I'll be out for the rest of the day.

Thanks to all those who contributed so many good clues this week. It's good to see Rosalind and Busby again.
With 11 of a possible 12 votes cast, the final tally is;

1 vote each for paul@17, BBM2@19, JWS@27 and busby@36
2 votes each for rossim@7 and FJ@16

This week's winner, with 3 votes, is rosalind@11 for her clever composite conjuring up a story,

"A constant bastard, at rope's end if caught at sea"

Congratulations, Rosalind! Your prize dates from half a century ago, when swashbuckling heroes were popular
