@Strauss,
Thank you strauss but l do not think it is DIPPED, as the I does not seem to fit into clue79d carefree and superficial for which l have RANCOROUS,if l am wrong l would like to know, thanks again.

@margsy,
As I don't get these magazines,I'm in no position to assert the suggestions I give.

However, given the usual meaning of carefree and superficial, I'd suggest Frivolous instead of Rancorous, which meaning is quite different.

Let me know the outcome..

@margsy,
Hi Margsy
Strauss has got it spot on. It is DIPPED. If you check a thesaurus, dunk will come up as dip.

@Strauss,
Thank you Strauss for your help, checking on frivolous it does not really fit as the clue that the F is in is 78aWacky,for which l have got EERIEST, not sure if that is right either but l will get down to it later and let you know. ttfn :-}

@margsy,
l think l may have come up with an answer, 78a wacky OFFBEAT and 79d carefree and superficial FRIVOLOUS, just as you said Strauss,it wAS 78a that had me stumped, checked several thesaurus and came up with offbeat,thank goodness it all fits,but as to whether it is right is another thing.Thank you to both strauss and james34 for your help. :-}

OFFBEAT is also the answer to 43ac in the latest Goliathon.
