^^^ I'm reasonably confident about that but not 100% sure!

[Bernie]

I thought that too Buenchico at first but Anna Livia came to mind for floozy in the jacuzzi?

[fiction-factory]

Is your L in the wrong place?

[Buenchico]

That might well make more sense, F-F, but, as you say, it does rely upon an error in the information we've been given!

Molly Malone" in Apollo's Medley

By the big Hill of Howth,
That's a bit of an Oath,
That to swear by I'm loth,
To the heart of a stone,
But be poison my drink,
If I sleep snore or wink,
Once forgetting to think,
Of your lying alone,
Och it's how I'm in love,
Like a beautiful dove,
That sits cooing above,
In the boughs of a tree;
It's myself I'll soon smother,
In something or other,
Unless I can bother,
Your heart to love me,
Sweet Molly, Sweet Molly Malone,
Sweet Molly, Sweet Molly Malone
I can see if you smile,
Though I'm off half a mile,
For my eyes all the while,
Keep along with my head,
And my head on must know,
When from Molly I go,
Takes his leave with a bow,
And remains in my stead,
(chorus)
Like a bird I could sing,
In the month of the spring,
But it's now no such thing,
I'm quite bothered and dead,
Och I'll roar and I'll groan,
My sweet Molly Malone,
Till I'm bone of your bone,
And asleep in your bed

fiction factory, I may be wrong with 8a. Man's Account (4) I had bill answered for it .

[Buenchico]

'Man's account' is answered as 'jibe' on at least crossword site but I can't parse it and it doesn't seem to help much either!

[Bernie]

jibe would give me the for 'medley'
Thank you all for your help

[Bernie]

Sorry I meant Melody not 'medley'

[fiction-factory]

I'm not sure of melody now- I must admit I was confusing Medley and Melody.
I can't understand how jibe works at all.
It is RTE and I have vowed before to give it a wide berth so maybe I should back out of this one
