[Dixonary] Round 2403 DRISHEEN results

[Jim Hart]

As someone observed it might be Irish then again it might not. I was
hoping there would be a bunch of fake Irish defs which would hide the
real Irish def. I was half right - there were but they didn't and four
of you identified the sausage. (Well five actually, counting the late DQ.)

The result is superficially a 4-way tie with 4 points but one of those
is the dictionary and two got there by picking the real one. That leaves
(Irish fanfare please) Millie Morgan as the next dealer with her
popular wood nymph while Glen and Efrem are the real winners.

Small correction, Jim: Mike voted for 10 and 14, not 10 and 15.

Please give me my point!

You're right; he's listed as not voting, but he DID vote.

... and Tim Lodge's other vote went to Dave's drizzle.

So I think that might make Dave our next dealer, with 4 natural points!
