        (I thought this was a gimme, to be honest)
        Finally worked it out after seeing the answer and a couple of hours of going "huh", on the second half of the clue.

        Nicely, er, fashioned, sir.

            Depends on whereabouts in the city you've taken lodgings, surely?

                First time I've ever looked at this thread, so I'm not sure what the rules are, but that's 'shindigs'.

                    You could have had the courtesy to refer him to the rules on page one though?


                    - C. The rules are on page one.

                    The conceit is you set a subsequent clue incorporating the solution to the one you've just solved.

                            OK. I'll consider myself banned from the thread then. That's not a clue.

                              No.

                              no need.

                              You are more than welcome to remain.

                                Yes, stick around capybara. Nef's comment was made very much in a joking style. It's a fun game (well, to me it is, i can see it wouldn't be for everyone) and the more the merrier. And if you want any help or advice at any time (either in solving or setting a clue) just message one of the regulars. i'm sure we'd all be happy to help out.

                                  Maybe Berba will drop in to correct me that was in the key of diminished B flat minor.

                                  Or maybe not

                                  ps as AH says we are usually quite well behaved

                                    OK. I think this works.
