Hello again

There were lots of super entries this week to our clue competition. Thank you.

By the way, if you haven’t tried your luck before, why not have a go? It’s great fun writing clues, and some people even get paid for it!

Commended this week are:

Al, from Moskva, for: Liver? It’s not good for it! (4) BEER

Neil Walker, Barrow-in-Furness, for: Coloured light from lightsaber ultimately slaying Obi-wan (7) RAINBOW

Richard Saunders, Dagenham, for: Love is not so easy, as ‘enry ‘iggins might say (6) ARDOUR

And the topical entries from:
Eileen McKellican, Leicester, for: Silly bugger whose departure is imminent (6, 1, 4) GEORGE W BUSH.
And
Beth Bebbington, Cambridge, for: No qualifications? Not this man! (5) OBAMA

Gosh, this week was tough to judge, but I eventually settled on:

Bronze:(for the imagery!): Jon Milloini, Oxford, for: Northern mother meets flame lover and hairy old trumpeter (7) MAMMOTH

Silver: (not quite sure Harry is exactly mess around, but a super effort): Neil Walker, Barrow-in-Furness, for: Harry Potter (4,6) MESS AROUND

AND THE WINNER!

Gold: David K, Whitstable, for: They order: “Horses for courses” (8) STARTERS

Once again, thanks to you all, and keep watching Cryptica for some great changes over the next few weeks…
