She's the one we're allowed to say is associated with the premiership footballer who took out an injunction. We're also allowed to say the premiership footballer who took out an injunction is Ryan Giggs. But we're not allowed to say she is the girl associated with Ryan Giggs (as she did not figure in the privileged Parliamentary debate). Except everyone knows that already. Such is the ridiculous state of the law in this country

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

'Johnny is a Tradesman and he works in the Borough' quoted in one of Coates's 'London' Suites, but I'm not sure which;
'When Johnny Comes Marching Home' used in Dr. Strangelove (at the end Vera Lynn sings 'We'll Meet Again');
'Johnny Remember Me' sung by John Leyton
EDIT: I type all that out and what happens...? It's 'dese damn broads... you gotta love 'em

rubbers, you got the London Suite and supplied far more info so I think you win the K. Yes, the lack of refresh or warning someone has posted is slightly annoying isn't it.

I think Anna gets to set 'K' - well done - although neither of you were thinking of the same Eric Coates reference as I was. He uses the theme from 'Johnny Comes Down To Hilo' in 'The Man Fom The Sea' from the suite 'The Three Men'.
