I have distracted him with a chicken nuggets and have switched his ABBA CD for one by the esteemed internet musician Jonathan Coulton. There is still singing but he is no longer trying to translate anything back into the original Swedish.

Wonderful and delightful, a most entertaining way of spending an afternoon or evening, I agree.

Unfortunately, I do not believe that I should go out in public in my current condition. We will have to wait for the opportunity to enjoy the theatre once more.
