GALINA= gal...young girl...gall.. insect....in.a.. ???..in.. na..navy?  ??? ???

Smooth seas?  Calm seas?  Well Galina does mean 'calm'. 

Is this about Greek mythology?  The nereid nymph Galene is the goddess of calm seas and a nymph is an immature stage that hasn't undergone metamorphosis to become a full insect yet.  I think, it might be me  :)  I hope so  ;D

Yayyy, top form Galina  ;D

Loved the clue.  There is always some Greek mythology - was only a matter of time  :D

The lists are simply fab, the choice is brilliant.  Thank you JayB.  I may be some time ...............................  ;)

  Have a great time and enjoy the list.

Lol, Galina has sent me her list and also a Clue.

Although I know the next person, I can't get it from the clue so I'm off for a google  :o


                                              Was deadly nightshade partly to blame for the banshee wailing?

Sounds like lyrics for some song.....

But what one?  ;D

Huh..do I really start to dig that one out.. ::)...I'm not even sure if it lyrics..Manic street preaches has some wacky lyrics..so suppose anything could be found in them.
Yes..my guess for the clue is manics... ???

So very nearly there and you guessed the right person too.  But why this song title?
