Looking forward and backward to Abba.

Hey again,

So, Abba has started at last, with the numerous (well, 5) houses performing to the best of their abilities with various Abba songs. I don't know why I just said all that because chances are if you're reading this blog you're involved in it, either by just knowing about it or actually being in one of the house bands.

It's been good, but a bit of a pain. Even before being in it you could kind of see a few discrepancies and problems between people, and getting really annoyed at Abba related occurences. It's great, and it's been a laugh (leg warmers and white fluffy hats, you can't go wrong) but yeah, you can't help the sneaking suspicion that everyone hates each other. Even Mrs Caldwell was thinking it wasn't the best of ideas.

The only other thing that worries me is the result; as Alex said, if it's Brunel who win then everyone will be unbearably bitter and never-ceasingly complain about it being inevitable (sorry guys, not blaming you), or whoever wins other than Brunel will be unbearably smug. So, yeah, even weeks afterwards there'll be people driven slightly apart in the name of Abba. Oh well, it's a laugh, and people will get over it. 

So, more on the performing, it was excellent all round. From the sound, Orwell were great (and yes I will see them, shush Orwell) as were Brunel and Cavendish were actually fairly good. Newton, well I have no idea but I will know on Monday, and hopefully they'll be good, and Wilberforce....weren't great. But practise makes perfect and they'll hopefully get far better.
