A nina is a hidden message in the grid. I think the second part of comment 4 above may refer to a different FT puzzle however (by IO earlier this week).

Like Scarpia I found this very enjoyable if unspectacular. Spotted THE OUTSIDE EDGE as a Nina but couldn’t see any other references – sure I’m missing something.

I enjoyed this too esp liking FROSTBITE and ARTY. I too struggled with spelling NIETZSCHE and needed those crossing answers!

Thanks Smiffy.
I enjoyed this.All fairly clued with one or two smiles along the way.
Can’t really ask for more than that.

Thanks Smiffy. As you say nowhere near the top of the league!

My only problem was the spelling of NIETZSCHE: when I followed this with the solving of JAZZ and TRAFFIC my right-hand column was a complete mess!
