Listen, this may be a key point at this juncture.
Do the definite and indefinite article count in the title, e.g. is "A Tale of Two Cities" A or T? and is "The Great Gatsby" T or G? Strictly, as per most alphabetical listings, 'a' and 'the' aren't counted.
Call me an anorak if you want, just trying to help ;D

Good point I believe that A's and The's do not count in this sort of game.

(bet you're all dead grateful for that deadlock being broken eh...?)
To finish:
A Year in Provence (Peter Mayle) : see a few posts earlier, that is a Y!
and
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (can't remember the author but this was big in the hippy era)
My real motive was so that I could start a new list:
POP GROUPS (no solo artistes, we can do that afterwards!!!)
A is obviously for ABBA....

No shame in being a child of the 80s.
Not when there were bands like
FIVE STAR
around. "System Addict" eh? Way ahead of its time: forget OK Computer, this was an opus about man's relationship with technology 10 years or so before Radiohead thought of it!
Oh, and who remembers the caller to Going Live: "I'd like to ask Five Star why they're so f***ing s***!!!"
Marvellous.
(shamefully, my first gig was Erasure....)

It was, er, just a phase. But not that sort of phase.  |
