Please help, I have a wager with my wife. She needs to weave as many Abba lyrics into a prom night speech ( she's a teacher not a student wink). In front of a few hundred people and to get away with as many as she can unnoticed. Any ideas?

What's the speech? It'd be a lot easier if we knew what she wants to say in the first place.

It sounds like an assignment for Ann Barnes, Kent's PCC.

My wife works at a special needs school and its for one of the lads that's leaving. He's nuts about Abba and the staff are sad to see him go. Its just to give her colleagues and his parents a bit of a chuckle, without it being too obvious to other people there, whats going on. So the key is lyrics that can reasonably be weaved into the narrative subtly.

I think this speech will be her Waterloo, but knowing me, knowing you, there is nothing we can do, to help write the speech. We will just have to face it this time.

I want to see Alan Partridge interview Kent's PCC Ann Barnes and then launch into an Abba medley.
