Should have got 7d & 8d.
5d falls into the category of “I would never have got”
13a I looked at the answer and it took a good couple of minutes before the penny dropped.

Indeed, Agentzero (thx!), a lot of cd’s & dd’s again, but very smooth cluing along the way with 19ac (CONSPIRACY), 3d (UNSHOD), 18d (APPOSITE) and 14d (ICE CUBE) as my favourites.

Every now and then it happens that Dante and Rufus use identical clues.
Today there were two.
In last Monday’s blog on Rufus (Guardian 25,293) there was some dicussion on GENII (as a plural), which was my first entry in that puzzle as the clue read “Gin that is a mixture of bottled spirits” ….
And we had 12ac (TAKE OVER) just a fortnight ago (Mon 28 Mar 11) in the Monday Rufus – so that was my first entry hére in this Dante.
On some occasions in the past, Rufus/Dante gave us insight in why this might occur, so I don’t want to bother him again. I’m fine with it.

Luckily, I had opted for ENOW so it all worked out.

However one ENOW was quite enough.
