Thanks. Enjoyed.

Very good! Started off at your more accessible end but became tougher as I tackled the downs! Full of your trademark style and I particularly liked 13a, 15a, 18a, 14d and 22d. More in reply - thanks!

Very sirdakka! I really didn't like 6D at all until I checked the annotations. I should have realised what was going on. Liked 13A 15A 1D 8D and 22D best but top spot has to be the grotesque 12A.

Delighted to be amongst those who were not defeated by 6d! A very nice puzzle with some typically sirdakka-ish touches scattered throughout. Plenty I could list that got ticks so token it to a manageable number: 5a, 15a, 18a, 28a, 6d (COTD), 14d, 22d and 24d. Great fun. Thanks. PM

Great stuff sirdakka, thanks. A few cheeky reveals required but otherwise a relatively steady solve. I’m with Blah re COTD (12a). Other favourites include: 5a, 15a, 21a, 23a, 28a, 6d (albeit neede your notes to appreciate it), 14d and 22d.

Hi sirdakka, very good fun and inventive, as ever… loved 15a and 6d; 7a very neat and 12a a very good spot. Happy new year!

Thank you, sirdakka. Very enjoyable, even though I'm not convinced by the definition in 30a and thought 3d was a bit too contrived. And I completely failed to appreciate the brilliance of 6d until I re-read your notes.

Very good, ticks all over the place

Thanks Sirdakka. I enjoyed this a lot. Faves were 10a, 15a, 20a & 21a (both made me smile), 30a, 1d, 17d, 22d, 29d. I don't parse 18a (LOI) but it couldn't be anything else. Thanks very much. Observations...
