REMEMBER the new method - NO POSTS instead you PM me with your guesses any time up to 8pm tonight. If possible, please wait until you've completed all the guesses you want to make to avoid too many PMs and to make my job easier. So no hurry and it doesn't matter when you submit the answers because I'll be judging them solely on who has the most correct - and in the event of two or more being level it will be a tie. I hope this is clear and good luck. Tomorrow I’ll post the names of the top three entries.
1. They call you lady luck
2. She's a fool and don't I know it
3. How much do I love you?
4. You must remember this
5. In olden days a glimpse of stocking
6. My story is much too sad to be told
7. Like the beat-beat-beat of the tom-tom
8. Birds’ do it, bees do it
9. At words poetic, I’m so pathetic
10. As Dorothy Parker once said to her boyfriend “fare thee well“
11. Summer journeys to Niagara and to other places
12. I’ve wined and dined on Mulligan stew
13. Though I know that we meet every night
14. You see a pair of laughing eyes
