Thanks Pangakupu.

Tricksy, as he says. Don't have one.

Likes - 4d, 1d, 12a, 15d, 22a, 2d (why overseas?)

COD: 15d

7d order?

Got the last one. Had entered the crosser wrongly.

Will add 3d and 18d to my long list.

Thanks to Pangakupu.
I also found the order of 7 unusual, but the solution is so clear that I dismissed objections.

FOI 9. LOI 24, which I struggled with and even raised DNF fears.
If not for 22 and 24, solving time would have been about Prize norm.

Solved 25 by wordplay but needed Google to confirm.

Many enjoyable clues but no blockbuster. Will go with 12 as COD over an extensive long list.

I don't know enough [SPOILER redaction] to ever search for the expected Pangakupu trademark.

Solution of 23d easy but parsing was a real challenge.

Agree with you re 23d.
Too clever, I thought, with poor surface.

Hello Geeker

Dont think there is a Nina of his usual sort. My favourite was 24A, and I have no problem with the parsing of 23D

On closer inspection, rows 3 and 11 might just be, but they are not phrases that I have heard of.

Did 4d actually catch rats?
