      Corrected to "sloppy"

      Thanks for an entertaining cryptic. 6A I haven't seen "dried up" as a deletion indicator before; I didn't like "coup organiser" as a definition. 11A "Heathrow"? 12A For Brits it's an extreme homophone - no long vowel in "odd". Please don't take these comments as criticism; it was a very entertaining cryptic.

        I swear I've seen it as a "reduction" or reverse letter bank indicator elsewhere but I may have imagined that. With regards to the definition itself - while I agree that there are more standard definitions, the choice was deliberate, given the style I've been developing over the past 3 years.

        10D is probably the best cryptic clue I've ever read

            amazing... just so amazing... ive wanted desperately to be at the level of you geniuses, but perhaps i should learn to accept the lowly place where i am and just appreciate the beauty you all bring to the world, so thank you for that
