My favorite is Clue 18. Nice surface reading, and "second entree" is one of the best definitions in the contest. 2nd place to Clue 9, the only one to get RAUNCH-y. Nice deceptive definition.

A question from a US solver: Do composite anagram clues appear frequently in UK puzzles? Some of those submitted here are clever, but I think they'd be nearly impossible to solve!

In order downwards 5pts to 1. 22 original, brief and perfectly constructed was my favourite. 56 was best of those using the Herculean idea, amusing. 18 another original idea. 3 and 24. New voting system is very easy to use and no need to check and recheck that I've quoted the correct clue numbers.
