Thank you for the puzzle! I enjoyed 4D and 12A

Good job, moobius. This all came together very nicely. It's been a while since I solved one of yours; I was surprised to see your note below as I thought you'd been setting for some time. Mind you, that does give you a nice head start when submitting to RC where I see it went down deservedly well. The repetitions of insertion indicators did not distress me too much - well, I got over it - and I quite liked your humorous def in 8d! Other faves: 1a, 9a, 23a, 24a, 26a, 3d, 7d, 11d, 19d. Thanks

8d!
