Featured crossword No 9

Nobody home at the other place so a quick reassurance here that this wasn’t too bad. Another triumph in fact! Loved the prayer in 18a, the hacker’s target in 6d, the batty aristocrat in 21d, and 12a, 16a, 22a, 27a, 17d and 19d amongst others. Thanks for doing what you do so well!

Thanks Henri! Great way to start the week — 2d, 6d, 17d my personal favourites!

Great stuff Henri, thanks. Comment left you know where ...

Cleverly done, Henri. I shall leave comments on 225. Thanks. PM

Thanks for the puzzle, Henri. In hindsight I wish I'd been able to crack it without any 'cheating' but it was very enjoyable nonetheless, as was blogging it and luckily spotting the nina.

Thanks Henri for another ingenious creation. More details on 225.

Great job, Henri -- my detailed comments are on Fifteensquared, so for now I'll just say thank you.

As tricky and clever as we have come to expect! Some marvelously left field defs to delight - 6d the pinnacle of these, I also got a kick from 16a,27a in this vein. Other faves: 10a,18a,22a,4d (once I looked up part of it which as a non-brit was GK not known),19d,26d. Afraid I totally missed Nina, although I did stumble to the other part of it. Great stuff, thanks, Henri!

I needed the blog in t'other place to get the joke. What a feat to pull that off! Lovely stuff.

Thanks Henri for a clever and challenging puzzle - I had to resort to the blog, more over there...

Lots of fun, Henri! I've posted my solve on YouTube. Thank you!

Very good fun. Left a comment with podium at 225. Cheers!

Nice one Henri. Lots to like including 10a, 18a, 29a, 2d, 3d and 19d. Took me a while to see the nina...

Thanks Henri. A bit late to this but enjoyed it all the same! The nina helped at the end, very nice. Favourites were 16a, 28a, 2d, 6d and 23d.
