Ref. 17ac – there is an ‘A’ missing. I believe it should be ‘WAN+I+A[before]‘ in KIN.

Sidey @1, thanks for pointing out the missing words in 19a, which I have now inserted. I solved the puzzle from the paper version and didn’t notice that words had been omitted from the online version, which I used (thanks to PeeDee’s software) for compiling the blog.

I would like to purchase the paper more often but four newspapers a month would cost more than my internet access. I fear they will have to make it access by subscription again.

Sorry for the off-topicness.

Today’s is an absolute belter. I am still laughing at two clues in particular.

Thanks all
Fortunately there is neither an international scale or unit to measure Azed difficulty so I can quite confidently say that I thought this was much harder than 2121.
My favourites were 7ac, 5d and after I finally parsed it 28ac.
Last two were ‘clag’ and ‘Kiwanian’(very obscure?).
The answer to misprints on line is to buy the newspaper and help fund the compilers.

Shame the definition was (and still is) missing from the online versions of 19a. It should read King on phone abandoned faulty charm, showing aversion to empty space (10)

Thanks bridgesong. Some really good clues here.
