Coincidentaly I had just read the BBC version of this news too and was thinking maybe a torch song
would be appropiate :)

one comment in The Times on this news item ...

"This is quite an achievement , in my several years as a barman , I could never get a Sambuca on the rocks to light ... "

To the tune of "The Cadgwith Anthem" :-

Come fill up your glass love,
With a largish Sambucca.
To pour on a tourist,
Who flashed you just now.
Then walk right back up to him,
And light the strong liquid.
And you friends will all think you're
A great heroic 'cow'.

This Greek girl set fire to my willie,
I'm not too sure why she did it.
If I had seen her coming,
I surely would have hid it.
