stewblack Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 When I struggle to get to sleep I distract myself with an alphabetical puzzle. At present I'm trying to go A-Z (or A-Z if you're American) with names of musical acts where the name is preceded by a name and the words 'and the'. Frinstance: A could be Elvis Costello and the Attractions, or Adam and the Ants. B could be Ian Dury and the Blockheads, C might be Kid Creole and the Coconuts. I'm not making a lot of headway beyond G and thought it might be fun to throw it out as a game everyone can play. And you'll be helping me get some kip too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
