proper form for 151 now up - submission format included.
Agree not up to Genius standard (if there is one)

The form is up but it's wrong. There is no space for 23 down, instead there is a spurious 28 down between 22 and 24.

Thanks rh142...and a wee extra puzzle to work out.

For prospero, I see 27A as defined by the first four words of the clue. 17D relies on a homophone for "bad" that I associate with a Southern accent.

I found this enjoyable, especially after G500, liked the double clue idea, and the G's are quite often "experimental" as opposed to difficult.

G150 (not 500) I mean.

well I think the only thing to do with the form is to put 23d into the 28 space and hope for the best ...

I have two queries. Firstly, from where does one get the first word in the answer to 6D? The second word is obvious, and only one word will reasonably fit the first. But why? And secondly, can anyone help with 27A? I have an answer, but it's not very clever. But my answer in fact fits Soup's "Maybe evil, like my first Guardian puzzle," so it may very well be right!

Agree about 6d - though I think there are two possible first words and I wasn't clear about the parsing so I biffed it. I was stuck for hours on 27a and the comment above that the first four words are the definition helped. But I don't think "have" is the right word for the wordplay ...

Thanks, Prospero, but I'm still not clear. Do you agree that Soup's comment at the end is a further definition of the answer?

And I'm happy with the "have" in my interpretation

6D I take the first word to be from the "links?" part of the wordplay, ie coastal as opposed to parkland.

Maybe evil, like my first Guardian puzzle? (6) (9) isn't part of the crossword as far as I can tell...more like an unused clue.
