So that’s why there’s 12000 miles between you and Laws. Unless he still thinks you’re having ‘a comment’.

Nice one, Phi,
Is it to do with “alto”?
(I noticed it hidden in your comment and the grid, and you mentioned “noted”)
I’m no musician, but perhaps someone else can help out?

1 4 Nina (*anag).

The comment from IanN14 (aka 14th anagram of Nina, I suppose) is noted…

…but there is just a little something in this one, almost too trivial to mention (but it got some letters in the dreaded blank grid).

By the way, following on from last Friday’s, I went to school with a Nina Taltol.
How did Phi know THAT?
(She ended up going off with Oscar Histogram)…

Maybe John was unlucky with his puzzles over the years, but I’ve seen that PI very many times so had to think no more about it.

No, nms, but I think he’s the only one to include his job description in the programme title…

Magnum ain’t the only P.I., I never thought of him when filling it in. Enjoyable puzzle, as always from Phi.

1 down. PI is Private Investigator. (Glad Phi didn’t plump for the more common ‘holy’ for pi). Working is of course ‘on’, all inside e sage.

Can’t blame you John,
It was pretty cheesy.
(It made Charlie’s Angels look like The Wire…).

No I’m afraid not, although I should have at least heard of it I suppose. I’ve led a very sheltered life.
