I hope you had the time of your life playing Saturday Snapshots yesterday. And that none of you ended up a Basket Case...
A Saturday night powercut means I'm setting this to post via my phone so can't add my usual commentary congratulating the winners. Just hoping this will still post on Sunday morning as planned. I'll try to add comments later on Sunday but thanks for playing as always.

9. High ranking (southern) British martial artist and fishy western director request the pleasure of your company this evening.
The ranking system in many forms of martial arts is the Dan. Southern Britain would be England.

Phew. Convoluted way to get to an undisputed easy listening classic.

Heroic is daring, minus a g = Darin. A cop is a Bobby.

3. Win a designer scullery!
A designer scullery would be a kitchen of distinction.

1. Part time docker and grainmaker has a laugh.
A docker is a stevedore. Part time would make him merely Steve.
