Stumbled by these:
75a. The resort has grand food (4) ?P?M. (Can't imagine its SPAM even if 'spa' is a resort!)
64d. Is the cardinal punctual? Not quite (6) ?E?R?Y. 'Nearly' would fit but where does 'cardinal' come into it?
88d. The firm took in Melody? Capital! (5) ??I?O. Cairo (that's a capital) might fit but how?
Also, presuming the following guesses are correct, could someone kindly explain any of them?!
46a. Go back after a hot porker (3) ?O? Why 'hog' and not 'goh' not to mention 'dog' and 'god'?
79a. Final blessing seen as banal in Laois (4,5) L?S???T?S. 'Last rites' it may be but can't figure out where 'rites' comes from!
