Many thanks to all who entered this week’s challenge.
A tough one to judge and if you had a favourite clue that I’ve not mentioned below, please do feel free to give it some love and appreciation!
Enjoyed Geting’s “tongue-twisting” and “Patter to keep time”, both very neat.
Pleased to see “sale by auction” (Tyke) and ”brisk” (Buddy) appearing as definitions.
Loved the Kant homophone from Paul (see the prizes) and the 90% gimmick.
Amej, I had not considered Brian Cant, but was pleased to find one of the clips below, which curiously also includes (the now “Sir”) Tony Robinson.
Loved Paul’s run of Colombian mafia inspired clues, the best of which I thought was … “Criminal guilt señor? A characteristic of the Cartel!”
Dorrien’s “Tend to talk in jargon?” was a very stylish double definition.
Liked Aristo’s legalese definition. “Speculation” as a synonym for “guess” would have been fine by me.
Also liked Peterm’s “deCANTer” (which I hope is full), Bacchy’s homophone / double definition… “A sound philosopher is quite incapable of jargon” and Darla’s “canticle” cut short.
Buddy popped in with a rare Scottish indicator doubling as wordplay. I also liked that “cloudy” and “afternoon” are not often used as single letter indicators.
So that’s this week’s ‘chicken dinner’!
It's brisk in the centre of Blantyre on cloudy afternoon (4) [Ed. fixed spelling]
Congratulations Buddy, here are the prizes…

Cheers all,
PR follows… is there a sequence? If there is, it’s surely nonsense!
Ttfn!
