Crazy English found out (4)

So many great clues! I’m not exaggerating when I say there are multiple contenders for the top spot.

I’ll list some that really caught my attention; PR’s construct 11, Tyke’s dame at 12 but struggled with the def, Jon’s writer 15. Geting’s tweaked 17’ driven. Swarb’s madre 19. Jans discovery 20 (Still amazed how great your clues are considering English is not your first language…), Geting’s walking corpse 24, Swarb’s virgin at 25 and Raffles’ manual deflowering at 26. Also liked; Geeker’s damned at 29 (also liked the Amadeus one but found it too abstruse for my simple brain – sorry!) Was thrown (briefly) by Aristo’s very well-hidden 20. Raffles 37 and 38 – can you please leave the poor girl alone! Nice to see Jamoza join us after so many years with a great hidden at 45! Please join us for Peer Review on Weds eve and Weekend Peer Review on Fri eve.

So you see my dilemma.

Well decisions must be, err, made so here we go;

Bronze; Jan 20 with Emailed again with lie discovered (4)

Silver Jon 15 Well-heeled writer swallows the bill (4)

For me this week’s winner is both elegant and laconic – a masterpiece. It is Geting 17 with

Driven wild with ecstasy (4)

Well done again!

Well done Geting. Thanks for hosting Paul.
Agree, some good clues.

Thank you for the top spot and the kind words, Paul. I understand your dilemma. Will watch the clips later as I don't have the gbytes in the countryside

Good one Geting - well done! Thanks Paul - I was thinking 'made dish'

Thank you @Paul for hosting and I am so happy to have a bronze medal! We learn English very young here, also I work a lot in English and have attended courses in the UK for my job. It was English colleagues who interested me in crosswords. I do not understand all the clues but I think I learn something new every time. I’m off to polish my medal. Well done @geting

Congrats Geting and thanks Paul, always happy to pick up a silver.
Cheers all, hope you saw something of the eclipse wherever you happy to be —

Well done Geting and thanks Paul.

Thanks for the mention and for hosting, Paul, well done Geting!

Congratulations Geting. Thanks Paul.
