Pretty tough for me - I had to reveal a few - and the grid, tbh, is somewhat unfriendly with so many under checked solutions and the splitting of the grid into three almost disconnected lumps. Plenty of fun in the stuff I solved and a healthy dose of smut plus some tolerance-stretching as expected. 14a (ha ha - rude!), 20a, 29a (ha ha - rude!), 2d and 7d my faves. Thanks. PM
Thanks ALP. On 1st pass I thought this would be a no-go but somehow I got a foothold in the SE & worked from there. I failed only with 1d & 26d and there was a bit of parsing that eluded me but overall this was very enjoyable. Favs were 12a (shouldn't the novice be the one gagging?), 24a, 30a, 2d, 8d, 16d, 22d, and 25d.
