      The livelong day with patient expectation
      To see great Vinney pass the clues he's known.
      And when you saw his answer but appear,
      Have you not made an universal shout
      That ff trembled underneath her screen
      To hear the replication of your sounds
      Made in her Message Board?
      Bravo La Flayette!

      and all before 09:00 n all

          Brilliant!! And prize for best clue ever to vinmousseux

          Sorry to frustrate and bamboozle, Mr Flay. I didn't think it would be that hard. Matron.

          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            Now, wasn't that much more fun than finding the answer?

              So it was! In future I might write all my replies in iambic pentameter!

              AA has provided me a springboard to much research and entertainment

                      I'm glad someone replied to ferney, I feared his lasagne may be singed again!
                      You are way ahead of me Flay, I thought Handel might be creeping in here, or some 80s group.
                      What a joy it is that you are sensible! Are your legs OK? I have been worried about them.

                        A couple of desultory google searches have advanced me not at all. I keep being interrupted by real life and work

                          Real Life is such a bummer innit? Let alone combined with work?

                                I don't think so.

                                Nor Handel, Lasagne (beef casserole tonight!) or any '80s groups.
