Thank you all for taking part - perhaps not the juiciest of words to clue, for which I apologise! Special mention to thea for providing an afternoon's worth of parsing practice - I had to stop at Lara (Croft) and Tram, unfortunately.

In the end I was left with a short list of two anagram-based answers, Busby #2 and Paul #17 as my personal favourites. I resorted to 'spinning a coin' and plumped for Busby's entry at post 2.

Your prize is a poem from Hovis Presley - I don't know if he is well-known or not, but I like this:

For anyone wanting to know more about Hovis, there's a documentary presented by Mark Ratcliffe here:

Hope these links work!

Congratulations busby, an excuse (as if you needed one) to open another cold one. Cheers jamoza (good clip), I don't envy you running in this weather, even in the evening. Truth be told I don't envy you running full stop.

Re thea: Lara & the tram contained within (U = correct as in PC + tho(r)n)
