Bigbad I was going to mention it, I would have if it was peer review. Can I just say my boys have done amazingly. I was worried we would be wolves but xhaka has glued us together (probably the best signing in the summer)

Many thanks to entrants. It was a delight to read the clues. Someone recently mentioned the difficulty of judging Clueless, and that was certainly the case here. The long list was too long to enumerate, and apologies to the many worthy clues not mentioned.

Just missing the podium were wil@12, motley@24, ss@31 and raffles@47.

Bronze to bacchanal@14 for smooth surface.

Silver to jono@39 (32 also brilliant), either could have been a winner in many weeks.

Being American I have to award the gold (for topicality) to geting@7 with Crooked comedian leading US is not to be trusted (10). He also gets credit for the excellence of 17.

FWIW, I thought BBM2's "cyanide" was outstanding. Didn't read carefully enough, and was giving it serious consideration before the withdrawal. 🤣
