Cheers to Boaz for the knowing wink that saw my Sausage Meat enter the great sloppy annals of CIB history.

This week's challenge (as well as perhaps allowing some clever defs to appear) looks like an open invite to go anagram bonkers. Feel free - at first glance there's sod all else you can do with the utter todger of letters that is:

PLAY DOCTORS AND NURSES

Get unseemly, y'all.

Hope this isn't seen as "filthy clueing by numbers" (pots and kettles anyone?) or "easily my favourite. I'll vote it joint 58th". Bitter? Me? Heaven forfend!

Knowing the lolng answer invited anagram treatment I was looking forward to seeing what you came up with, but was still surprised by the variety.

7dNigePun's clue has all the right ingredients. It's just a shame the unavoidable leftover fodder "senor" looks rather like the lanky kid chosen as a last resort by children picking playground football teams.

Boaz This is a remarkable offering. It takes guts to assign fresh definitions to all the individual words and still create something smooth and convincing.

Penford_61 I certainly like the image of the racy old nun. A great clue, but there's just something about the surface that makes it look slightly forced.

Foggyweb offers superb clues as always, but the first is just exceptional. "Old pornstars use candy" is not just a fine anagram but the natural link to the answer's def make it nothing short of classic.

AngryVocab Of the three offerings I think the third was the strongest and the "dick" anagrind is novel and effective. The other pair were good concepts but I wasn't altogether happy with the wordplay indicators.

So, the results from the Cheshire jury are as follows:

3rd Place AngryVocab
Randy consort used pal's dick to experiment (4,7,3,6)

2nd Place Boaz
Plot by perverts with Aids to fiddle with naked children (4,7,3,6)

1st Place Foggyweb
Dodgy old pornstars use candy to get children interested in sex (4,7,3,6)

Great work again Foggyweb. Over to you.
