I wondered if this might have come too soon in your setting career but you appear to have risen, largely, to the challenge Owlbazaar. Some were hard to penetrate but you've swallowed the contributions of previous posters and taken yourself in hand with regard to much of the looser clueing. It's hard to nominate a stand out clue; I think I was probably taken by 20a, 13d and 19d with, perhaps, 1d in the rear.
Bloody Well Done! I'm quite impressed with how you've improved so quickly Owlbazaar! Very amusing surfaces and improved wordplay with novel ideas and a good amount of humour and wit. I (as an admittedly pedantic quibbler) don't think I can fault a single definition. I could (in a minor way) quibble a couple of the wordplays but I enjoyed this so much I don't think I will. Others will no doubt tell you how rare that is. Marvellous stuff. You should be proud this one.
That was the most fun I've had on MyCrossword, thanks Owlbazaar! The PD on 22d had me disturbing the neighbours, I was chuckling to myself the whole way through, and bothering my partner with your more saucy offerings. I particularly loved 1a, 6a, 15a, 16a, 19a, 24a (definitely no need to apologise, I thought this an awesome clue), 1a (another massive lol), 7d, 11d, 14d and 19d
