Many years ago the English magazine The Spectator (very roughly speaking, the English equivalent to The New Yorker), ran a competition to write a piece of prose in which each word began with successive letters of the alphabet, two or three times over. I think some cheating was tolerated regarding words beginning with X.
Of the winners, I remember only the start of one entry, indispensable to any musicians wishing to remember the order of the notes:
All Bactrian Camels Definitely Eat Fresh Grass.
Sadly, even Google does not recognise this. I shall never learn the rest of the alphabet.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.
To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.
