        Aha!
        Or maybe Michel van der Aa ha!
        So in fact you gave the answer in your own question.
        There must be a word for such a thing: I think Les Dawson on Blankety Blank used to say that the clue is in the question, but perhaps not that the answer is in the question.
        I hope that Flay is prepared to be a busy bee once he finds the five pieces.
        We should have seen through your cunning ploy a bit sooner.
        Nice one, ferney!

          The word that comes to my mind is "underhand".

            Oh - there are several - but as a Host, I'd have to delete them!

            BB King, perhaps?

            Years of reading Agatha Christie finally pays off! The best place to hide something? In plain view so that everyone can see it - but doesn't.

            Nice one, ferney!

              Will the years of doing finally AA pay off?

                  I see the Brexit debate hasn't got to you. Or did you take a double dose of Prozac this morning?

                  My B will be more sanguine. The tramp went round and round Hildegard's Captain

                    Not "this morning" - saving it (just in case) for tomorrow (and the day after, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that .... )

                      AA feels somewhat irrelevant at the moment. I think we should have a week of mourning before resuming play.

                        Should we vote on it?

                          Probably best to take a break - most of you seem to have been appointed to Corbyn's new Shadow Cabinet ......

                            Yes, it does, but no disrespect to you, Flay.

                            I think we should have a week of mourning before resuming play.
                            Stumped here with the B, and a busy week with house guests here tonight and tomorrow night, volunteers' meeting tomorrow evening, and preparations for an AGM to fit in somehow (even if that means missing out on dinner with the friends staying), but fine with me if others keep playing, so long as you're around to monitor the answers! Not sure that only a week of mourning is sufficient though!

                              Sanguine, eh? There's quite a lot of blood in Hildegard of Bingen's works... and a Captain...

                              Gaudete in capite vestro / Rejoice in him, your Captain
                              from O vos felices radices.

                              Can't fit in a revolving tramp though...

                              Either of the above Bs any good though?
                              "...the isle is full of noises,
                              Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                              Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                              Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
