    Nice one! Enjoyed the link between 8a and 11a. Also liked the deceptive parsing of 13 and 14. Last ones in were 6d and 16a and tbh I still don’t fully understand them.

      Okay - just got them. Don’t love 16a but 6d is pretty hilarious.

        This rocks, thank you! Possibly the most difficult cryptic I've ever actually finished. Almost gave up on the 6a/16d crossover and I'm glad I pushed thru! (Still not seeing 16a lol). 4A, 13D were highlights
