maybe everyone's done this one as no thread, I have completed but would like to understand wordplay of 33d. Abso-bally-lutely, for one, more than once losing time in keynotes.

answer Meses,

Leon - check the plural of the word Tmesis.

Could you give me the wordplay for 28D?

Sent this off now but couldn't parse the wordplay for PIRAI. Pi = religious but how does "leader cracking" generate the rest. Of course my answer might be wrong...
