Congratulations Mattrom
Cheers Jono

I don't mind the different tenses of given words but two separate words was a bridge too far, maybe like what's already been mentioned the WPR is the place for innovation

Well done Mattrom – glad to see you back where you belong – and thanks for the vote!
Thanks for the novelty Jono.
Votes very much appreciated JWS, Spike
And thanks for the mention Aristo Paul and Fiery. All very much appreciated.

Hi Jono - I`m still a newbie on the forum but I think this is how the competitions came to be.

From the `Clueless` number 488 it seems it`s been going approx 9 years - `Peer Review` numbered 451 must have started about 6 months later.

Both competitions then have a long history as you can glean from Mattrom`s long list of words used so far.

When lockdown started in March some of us thought a 3rd weekly competition might be a good idea ... hence weekend PR.

I hope this explains how things have evolved - please don`t take this as criticism in any way and I hope you continue to enjoy taking part.

Congrats Mattrom and thanks for hosting Jono.
I couldn't manage the different format, but as some had a go, there was no harm in trying it out.
However, it does make judging difficult and I would prefer to go back to the original on a Thursday.

Congratulations, mattrom, and thanks, jono.

If you look into search you will find that the first WPR was in May 2014.
I was the first to offer a clue!
I think that it came to a halt as there was little support due to weekend commitments.
However, with lockdown we all had more time,and couldn't spend weekends away, so it started up again.
I know this is unnecessary information but I've got a bit of spare time on my hands at the moment. I was gardening and the rain came down!

Apologies Tyke51. I could possibly have made you 10 years older, or maybe younger depending on what the 51 stands for!

Rossim ... wish I was 41! I was born in 1951 - so I`m a very young looking 69.

I think Chrise mentioned there had been a WPR some years ago. I started the new lockdown version with a Weekend Clueless, mainly because I worried that people might not have time to vote - I`m pleased it`s now in PR format as I think its a better competition. I too have been shower dodging all day - like our cricketers!
