Cryptic crossword No 2,731

Ha, nice - one of those rare occasions where the GenNina fell very early and helped me significantly with the rest of the answers... although ironically the key clue 9d was my last one in! I especially liked 19a, 4d, 8d, 16d, and 17d. Thanks!

Very much fun! Faves: 14a, 21d (we have lots of it), 22a. So good from start to finish. Great Nina!!

Very nice Gennaro - good fun cluing throughout 19a, 23a, 4d, and 18d the picks for me. Thanks!

15d (LOI) held out on me, but I finally got it in. The 'hidden object,' once I remembered to look for it, helped in the NE corner. All in all, great fun -- thank you for this and your other puzzles. They are always a bright spot in my week. 17d's ridiculousness made me smile and with 26a became my class's clues of the day. Both were hits. 3d also funny (congrats on foregoing a decapitation clue there). 18d (superb, all parts), 19a, 8d (Also, some non-cryptic friends enjoyed the two 'rude' clues)

A treat as always, and Nina was a great help once it was found quite early - neat link to the hint word, which I only got afterwards. Predictably, the naughty ones made me smile. Other faves include 23a,24a,3d,4d,18d (clever wordplay indeed)

That was enjoyable. I don't think I've done one of yours before, so wasn't on the lookout for a Nina. I seemed to be stuck halfway, then realised there was a Nina. Some time later I twigged what it was, which led me to get the rest (apart from a word search for 15d). I agree with the praise for 18d. Thanks.

Greetings from Treviso, Italy! I enjoyed this yesterday (in Slovenia), thanks. Towards the tricky end of your work, I thought, despite getting the Nina early enough to be helpful. Favourites: 12a, 13a, 14a, 5d, 9d and 17d.

Greetings from Worcestershire, England! I enjoyed this yesterday (also in Worcestershire), thanks. There, the similarity with Coot's experience ends. I found this clearly clued and fairly accessible with only 2d requiring a second visit. The nina in the top line allowed me to complete the perimeter letters fairly early on. Faves inc 19a, 23a, 4d, 8d, 9d and 17d. Thanks. PM

That was classic Gennaro, with plenty to enjoy. I watched it being solved on Twitch today, where it mostly went down well with just 13a attracting the odd grumble, so I didnt really get to solve it. 12a, 14a & 18d would be my podium. Spoilers...
