Tony (my friend of whom you will be aware) responds to discussions of political personalities (we have much such discourse) with a question about a lift: "who would I like to spend time with in a lift which has broken down?" [that "who" should probably technically be "whom"; maybe even "with whom would I like to" ...but it sounds so ugly and persnickety]. I generally play along with the game: Donald Trump NO, Boris Johnson YES, Prince William NO, Ed Sheeran YES, Greta Thunberg NO, Andy Murray YES. Those are mine, not Tony's.
We learned yesterday that Abba are releasing a new album, Yeh! Here's the second track:
I hope it makes Asda Radio in time for my breakfast on Saturday.
So here is the lift question for you guys: With whom would you most like to share a lift for ten minutes - the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Oasis or Abba? Let me know, with reasons.
Is this prime era or current (those who are alive)? Or can we choose?
ReplyDeleteIf it’s today, then:
Oasis, Stones, Beatles, Abba
If I get to choose the era, then:
Abba, Stones, Beatles, Oasis
Rationale being that today, most of them will be fairly pedestrian and I would have a livelier time with Noel & Liam. If I get to choose the era, then I choose 70s disco fun with some Swedes!
Are you equating "old" with "pedestrian"?
DeleteAnd what’s wrong with Greta??
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with Greta; I'd just have more to chat about with Andy Murray.
