just one vote to come and any one of five clues from 3 setters can win!

... unless Spikeypunk gives 6 votes to an outsider!

Hope Spike`s OK - if he doesn`t vote by 8.00pm I`ll declare the result as it stands.

Thanks to all who participated in a close contest. Sadly, my abacus spontaneously combusted early on, so I hope my numbers are correct!
In joint 3rd, with 5 votes, were Buddy@2 & @20 & Mattrom @14.
Jono @5 was second with 6 votes but this week`s WPR Winner with her clever but brutally topical @24 is Mattrom with 7 votes - well done!

Cheers !

Congratulations Mattrom, I liked the ball emoji in your parsing! Many thanks Tyke, enjoyed the clips, so much of Yes Minister could apply today. Thanks to Buddy, Mattrom, Paul and Patrick for votes, much appreciated.

Congrats again, mattrom
Thanks tyke - lovely to see the newspaper skit again.
Thanks for the votes, paul and buddy.

Tyke; sheer modesty prevents me pointing out that my no. 7 had 6 votes….


Well done Mattrom! Very nice indeed!
And thanks for setting Tyke… votes appreciated everyone!

Paul - so sorry! I knew I`d ****ed up somewhere - for the record Paul`s @7 received 6 votes and tied for second place.

No prob Tyke! Have you tried using excel? I’d be completely lost without it for WPR!
