It's a good song Mags. It was recorded the year the two main singers on this record from ABBA were divorced.
I think you can sense the sadness.

Happy belated New Year everyone. Hope it was amazing whatever you got up to.
Haven't been around for a while as I got temporarily promoted at work (around the time I had that falling out with Fluffy) as my Head of Department at work decided she wanted a sabbatical so have been stupidly busy. My HOD is back in February so life will go back to normal (but so will my pay. You can't have it all.) Hurrah!

Barksdale mentioned Fluffy. She hasn't posted for a while, I hope she is OK.

I wonder did her fallout with Barks stopped her posting. I didn't realise they had words. Can't see her not posting because of that tbh.

Nope, Mags. Just a quickie to say I had a little PM exchange with her at the time, and reassured her that Avon isn‘t the kind of guy to cling onto grudges. Especially online grudges - life’s too short!
That said, I hope the Fluffster‘s doing okay…

Thanks for clarifying Vam.
I had realised Fluffy had stopped posting, and I hope she is ok as well. I'd be surprised if the frank words we had with each other last year had anything to do with it. It wasn't a major falling out or anything and we agreed a solution to post around each other which seemed to work at the time.

Considering the crap Fluffy has had to put up with on other forums, I very much doubt a little spat between you and her could have any real effect on her.
I think, from what she intimated on a couple of her posts, her absence may have more to do with her private life than her forum life.
Whatever....I hope she knows we wish her well. x

No prob I will say, at the time, she was mortified by the crossed wires between you guys and she was a little concerned that she might have pissed you off long-term. My response (in a nutshell) was…nah, that’s not gonna happen.
Happy 2026 to you & yours! 🥂

Thanks Vam, I couldn't see it was because of that tbh. Yes I hope Fluffs is ok too.
Hope everyone has a good one.
Thanks Syl 😘 Same goes to everyone from me too!
