        4 Abba songs:
        Andante, andante
        Cassandra
        Happy New Year
        I Do (x 5)
        Cassandra has the 'C', I think!

            Bloomin' 'eck, Norfolk. I finally understand.

            There are enough Abba songs to do almost the whole alphabet here!

              Er, no ...it's for people who have views on Radio 3 but who also listen to and watch other stuff, such as 'The Killing II' (of which there will, I'm sure, be much more anon - some of it possibly from yours truly).

                              That old toad, work, is most vexatiously demanding attention this afternoon. I am turning it around in what remains of my brain by this time on a Friday, and shall deliver a 'B' asap...

                                Update - have yet to find sufficient spare braincells for this alongside work plus the loo-reading and coffee threads!

                                Apologies, it shall receive my attention on the journey home and I shall endeavour to slot in a 'B' once there.
