One ballot to come. Two clear leaders but nothing certain.

Thanks to entrants. Close vote. Perhaps not the best phrase to clue, but many quality entries.

Bronze on 6 votes is amej@32 with Manicured back lawns - not likely! (5,4)

Silver on 10 geting@34 with Unforeseen outcome as law backs opening of new complex (5,4)

Gold on 11 jono@5 with Bishop needs women - an Aussie bird! (5,4)

Congratulations and thanks again for participating!

Congrats Jon and thanks Geeker.

Thanks for votes, Motley, Aristo, Geting, Paul, Swarb and Rekal - much appreciated.

And especially to Swarb - giving me the nod before the off couldn’t even prove the Black Swan theory!

Many thanks all for the votes, especially Chris.
It’s a shame there’s no support for W = woman which would have read better.

Thanks Geeker, I actually have NN Taleb’s book. I recall purchasing it together with Freakonomics a good few years ago and they are still next to each other on the book case :-)

Commiserations to geting on the close sliver. I was pretty careful (I use a spreadsheet to tabulate these competitions), but also made a hand count to be sure.
