Cryptic crossword No 2,159

Haha, excellent. Most of my comment is spoilery but before then I will say that I very much liked 8a, 9a, 30a, 3d, 4d and 20d. Thanks!

Very enjoyable, thank you. Favourites included 5a, 9a, 12a, 18a, 30a, 1d, 3d, 27d, 21d.

Enjoyed the puzzle. 1d, 2d, 9a, 12a, 8a for the lift and separate about which I am never clear, 20d for the position of ‘returned’, 32a, 25d for regardless of, bones in 28a and loi 25d for taking so long are ones I liked. Thanks.

Another super puzzle, Fez. And it's kind of you to go easy on us with a Blancheflower. Lots and lots I liked so, to pick a typically PM podium (ie not restricted to three): 12a, 13a, 3d, 4d, 17d, 20d and 23d. Thanks. PM

Lovely, Fez - my podium was 13a, 15a, and 16d, but lots else I enjoyed. Particularly the penny-drop moment near the end (brilliantly done!).

Thanks Fez. My favourites included 5a, 8a (LOI), 10a, 12a, 18a, 22a, 24a, 28a, 2d, 3d, 14d, and 29d. (Do you think I liked this? 😊) More in reply.

This is the 2nd of your recent puzzles that I have got on really well with Fez – not with ease but lots of lovely PDMs and satisfied chuckles. So many good clues delivered with style and apparent ease and gorgeous surfaces, but I especially enjoyed 5a, 9a, 10a, 13a, 24a, 28a (COTD), 30a, 3d, 14d, 16d, 29d. But shock horror, I have a quibble (SPOILER)!!

Super-fizzy as ever with lovely tricks and extras, as noted. Beautifully done. Massive likes for 8a, 9a, 11a, 28a, 3d and 29d. Etc, etc. I did think 27d’s “a” was a tad naughty, mind! Ta lots.

Great stuff Fez, thanks. Solved a couple of days ago but didn't manage to comment at the time. Plenty of chew for me but I managed to get almost everything done. (Had a minor issue with 20d!). Ludicrously long list of favourites: 9a, 11a, 12a, 13a, 24a, 28a, 3d, 5d, 7d, 17d, 23d and 29d.

Good fun and pleasantly accessible, well constructed Fez! Lots to like, including 8a (cute trick, very neat), 9a (nice), 11a (very neat), 22a (smooth), 28a (smooth assembly), 30a (another nicely done), 32a/33a (nice linked surfaces), 3d (neat), 7d (nice), 16d (another very smooth example of the type), 20d (fun) and 23d (cute)...
