That's a very nice puzzle, Amoeba. Some fun surfaces and some nice misdirects. I was defeated in the end by 16a having a totally different parse in mind - which didn't work. Favourites include 6a, 11a, 12a, 26a, 27a (ha ha), 3d, 6d, 17d, 20d and 22d. Spoilers in reply. Thanks. PM
Nice stuff Amoeba, gentle for the most part with some more challenging clues necessitating a few reveals in the end, but that's how I like 'em! Favourites include 25a, 27a, 6d, 18d, and 20d. Only quibble I had was pointed out by Fez already re 14d, but didn't hinder solving.. thanks!
Very nice, Amoeba, thanks. Took me ages, spread over at least 3 visits, although it all came together well in the end without reveals. Like Fez, I sort of worked out the theme without actually understanding what was going on. Favourites: 8a, 9a, 15a, 16a, 7d, 18d and 22d.
Nothing like doing a topical puzzle six days late ๐ but huge fun throughout. Add me to the list that liked the original 1d ๐ I also thought 6d, 25a and 4d were all excellent. Cheers!
