I'm afraid that I'm still none the wiser. I don't often watch the television or listen to the radio, so am, in a certain sense, sheltered from the abhorrence of the world. I say that on the, ungrounded (on my part) assumption that those above are abhorrent. 

Oh and just to say, I don't really know what the hashtag symbol means. I know that it's called a hashtag though, and I'm happy leaving my learning curve just there.

Well if they are, we will still say thank you for the music 

Badum-tish! I'll leave now 

Truly appalling. Thank you.

Forgot to say - now's a really good time to go a Peeping Toming, for those who want to take their first steps.  LMFAO

Gammon Gammon Gammon (A Ham After Midnight)

I'm still none the wiser. Are those people something to do with West Ham football club (not even sure I've got that team name right)? Am I being embarrassingly deficient in not knowing? I'm at a complete loss on this one.

I was so afraid Fernando

And I'm not ashamed to say the roaring of the gammons almost made me cry

I have had the dubious privilege of being arrested by pigs on a number of occasions - does that qualify?

I’ve just been listening to the Day Before You Came again, what a song

The roughly contemporaneous album The Visitors is also well worth a spin.

Yeah the Visitors is good, although I’m not sure there’s anything on it quite as brilliant or as downright strange as the Day Before You Came

Slipping Through My Fingers isn't as strange, but gets me right in the gut, having a small daughter.  I'm also pretty keen on the title track, which is pretty far from straightforward pop - and I love it when that synth hook kicks in.

The Day Before You Came does get a lot of love and I do admit to finding the relationship between the lyrics and music beguiling, but it's never been one of my all time favourites, when there are so many gorgeous melodies and harmonies on their other songs.

This beeb article names ABBA as the band reforming that would have got Glasto back on this year!!

Did people know this already? News to me!

SOS! Will Abba's new music live up to their legacy? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-43925749

[CaledonianGonzo]

Its probably correct, but it's also probably guesswork.  And also probably all academic.

[Heather90]

I'd be all in for an ABBA pyramid slot. It had better be a headliner because no doubt too much wine would be consumed and I'd be a mess if it was the legends slot. 

Imagine Sunday Afternoon Elton > ?? > ABBA

Surely that was Oasis or Led Zep?

Oooft 

This just reminded me...was at a gig over the weekend, Colonel Mustard and the Djon5, and they did what seemed like an impromptu ABBA medley. Cue mass singalong. I`d be well up for your Elton>ABBA plan.

It's guesswork. I was there when Michael said it, and he definitely didn't give any indications on who it was.

Most guesses at the time were either Led Zep, Pink Floyd, or The Smiths. Don't think ABBA is exactly his taste.

Apart from going to see an ABBA tribute band in a couple of weeks time, it now looks like I'll be going to see Bjorn Again in December.

ABBA'tastic!

I've for once got my friends interested for Bjorn Again, just a decision which direction to go. Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff all equidistant.
