Well, it wasn't a very good cover of the Talk Talk song!
Well I was off bed a while back. Flicking through tv channels and remembered recording ABBA in concert the other night.
I'm now sitting here transfixed by the music and realising why Agnetha held me so captivated all those years ago.
Stunningly beautiful..
Not sure how my sugars will cope but my heart is racing.
For now I'm in 1976 and I ain't even got diabetes.
Hi @Cumberland . I was wondering how long it was going to take you to throw down the gauntlet.
I recall us having a discussion about " our " Agnetha many moons ago.
Back in the summer of '76 I was 12. Not a teenager until December.
When she struts on stage to sing "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" even at the ripe old age of 54 I find myself mesmerised.
I can se it now. 2 middle aged T1's fighting and hypoing over a woman ( albeit a beautiful Swedish one ).
Good number for yourself this morning, I hope the rest of the day has followed the same pattern.
1963 a good year for men with taste in music and women.I turned 13 in August 1976 so we’re both 1963 babies
I remember them winning Eurovision and thought she was attractive then wearing her iconic sparkly blue outfit and silver platform boots, to me she outshone the others that night
She’s class and what a beautiful voice to match her beautiful looks
Needless to say I have the full collection of ABBA songs
What would be your top 5 ABBA songs?
Been a busy day but have stayed between 4 and 8 on the dexcom. Had 3 biscuits before leaving daughters about an hour ago, feeling peckish. Dexcom has just alarmed to say I'd gone above 11. Not to worried, going to pre bolus for dinner soon so will sort it out then.@therower
Good numbers have continued thanks
5.5 fasting, 6.2, 6.6 and last one 6.3
You having s good day?
1963 a good year for men with taste in music and women.
I have to admit I've always been a rock music lover BUT I make an exception with ABBA. The sound the songs the whole persona was just and still is amazing.

1. Waterloo. Is was the start and I just can't help singing , humming along to it.

Like you I’m more into rock and recall back in the 70s it was hip to despise ABBA except I didn’t
Going to see Def Leppard in December looking forward to it
Did you get into punk rock?
It always happens. I'm the same, have a great day and then a rogue number comes along to knock me back into reality.I’ve been having good numbers except the last one of 12.2 boo hoo
Yeah it wasn't cool to walk around with ABBA emblazoned on the back of your denim cut off..
Can't say I ever got the punk thing, not sure why but it never hit the right receptors.
Def Leppard should be good, especially if they do the Hysteria stuff.
I listen to a lot of stuff on YouTube nowadays. Tracks I'd completely forgotten about suddenly appear.
I'm casting a rogue vote for The Day Before You Came. Loved Murial's Wedding! Child crazy about Mamma Mia, so has decided Supertrouper and Honey Honey are her top ABBA songs. I had a crush on the Def Leopard drummer.
It's not weird.......... it's creative
