[Dixonary] Round 3147 MEEDYERN Results

I was a bit downhearted when the first two players to vote, Paul Keating
and Johnny Barrs, guessed the real def, 2 - Greedy for bribes, covetous.
However they were only joined by one more, Alan Mallach, leaving me with a
D3. Alan takes the next deal getting 4 votes for his brightly cloured Irish
tunic (def 14) to add to the 2 points he got for a correct guess. Tony
Abell is the lucky runner-up with 5 votes for his dextrous def, 5.

Over to you, Alan!
