Thanks, Gennaro - lots of fun as always. Unsurprisingly for me, I cannot find any hidden messages, but I really enjoyed 10a, 11a, 22a, 26a, 9d.

Very clever variation on your trademark here Gennaro! Took some spotting, but was a great aha moment. Clueing as faultless as ever. 10a was a lol, some nice mixed anagrams to add interest, witty surfaces such as 11a, 13a, 23a, 25a, 1d; the sort of naughty device I rather like in 3d; and an extra dose of the Spice Girls! Many thanks.

Thanks Gennaro, did that in transit between stops. Some a bit tricker but all seems fair. Faves 6a, 10a, 22a, 5d, 16d inter alia. Looked for your usual Nina but no joy there. Will look again…

This took me quite a while to crack the first opening, for whatever reason, but it was as enjoyable as we have come to rely on. I especially liked 14a,19a,25a (and the very neat 10a, when it finally clicked), and 2d,4d,15d,16d.

Thanks again, Gennaro. I had a similar experience as Temple. Let me also say that 8d unfolded in the most perfect way. I'll be back with more later, thanks!

I’m a bit behind on MyC and decided to jump back in with a Gennaro! Very enjoyable as ever, favourites were 10a, 19a, 23a, 1d, 15d and 17d. Thanks! More in reply ->

Rather like Henri, I am a bit behind on MyC so decided to get me an early morning Gennaro hit. Typically solid but non-typically hidden nina which I certainly got nowhere near close to spotting. 19a, 26a, 9d, 15d and 21d my faves today. Thanks. PM

Ridiculously late to comment but I did actually solve this last week and enjoyed as always. 10a is marvellous 👍
