And not to forget Cockles and Mussels which gave me a clue to what Molly Malone died of -Typhoid -('She died of a fever and no one could save her', there was no Chloramphenicol those days) after consuming uncooked the unsold Cockles and Mussels.

A sing-along of Cockles and Mussells

In Dublin’s Fair city

1. In dublin's fair city, where girls are so pretty
   I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
   She wheeled a wheel-barrow, through streets broad and narrow
   Crying: cockles and Mussels a-live, a-live oh
   
   Alive, a-live oh, a-live a-live oh
   Crying,. cockles and mussels a-live, a-live oh
2. She was a fishmonger, and sure 'twas no wonder
   For so were her father and mother before
   And they both wheeled their barrow,
   through streets broad and narrow
   Crying: cockles and Mussels a-live, a-live oh
   
   Alive, a-live oh, a-live a-live oh
   Crying,. cockles and mussels a-live, a-live oh
3. She died of a fever, and no one could save her
   And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
   But her ghost wheels her barrow,
   through streets broad and narrow
   Crying: cockles and Mussels a-live, a-live oh
   
   Alive, a-live oh, a-live a-live oh
   Crying,. cockles and mussels a-live, a-live oh

Prof 'Sinna's statement

'Prof Sinna' incident.
Prof Sinna happened to be in a crowd who were discussing about a recent cricket match between the West Indies and England which had ended in a draw in the early 1960s. 'Sinna' made the following observation:-
'I am sure that if the whole of India had played (instead of only the West Indies) against England they would have beaten the fellows and all that'.
