Profoud apologies Geting - I have no idea how I missed it. On re-exammination I had left out rekals vote, Thank you for your gracious words. Apologies Geeker - mistyped 5 as 35 - still, could be as taken as another hidden? Perhaps I am suffering from late onset dyslxIa? A bit like the dyslexic devil-worshipper who sold his soul to Santa?

Paul, on the subject of devils, 21 across in tonight's Guardian Prize starts off with "Poodle", and the first thing that came to mind was the Pudel in Goethe's Faust, i.e. Mephisto. Which was of course irrelevant to the clue.

Thank you geeker for your vote and mention and geting likewise. I’m confused.. was it a draw between you both?

Congrats to the winner. Thanks Paul.

Thanks Geting for the mention.

I neglected to thank The Spiked One for the like and paul for hosting, and to congratulate geeker or geting for the win.

Congratulations...... Thanks to Paul for hosting, and to Aristo for the acknowledgement.

Well done geeker and thanks paul.

rekal@66: Thanks. I didn't check the ballots, but the vote seems to have been a draw. Commiserations to geting.

Paul, you're welcome to reassess or adjudicate due to the miscount.

Geeker, Paul et al: Please let the result stand and congratulate Geeker on his fine clue - Holiday spot in Azores or Tahiti (6)

It was an innocent wee miscount (we've all done it) and Geeker was declared the winner. Geeker's clue also happened to receive likes, which my own did not.
I'm more than happy that such a lengthy effort as mine should have even reached the heady heights of second place
