I am brain-dead tonight so this is rubbish - just a place-holder. Please do something else if you can think of a decent one!

How strange that you don't know if you imagined it or it was real! Grin

PassTheTwiglets · 14/07/2011 22:09

LadyD, you probably know some of his songs but didn't realise who sung them. You MUST know Sweet Caroline...

Sweeeeet Caroline...

(come on, altogether with the next 3 notes...)

Or my favourites 'you don't bring me flowers' and 'beautiful noise'

PassTheTwiglets · 14/07/2011 22:13

That's not how it goes, Small...

Grin, I didn't know but I will keep very quiet and nod knowledgeably at all musical references, henceforth.

LadyDamerel · 14/07/2011 22:16

Oh yes, I know 'Sweet Caroline' and having listened to Maud's links I also know 'I'm a believer' but that's because the Reeves and Mortimer version was played at every sixth party we had Grin.

Sorry Twigster sweet Caroline dur dur dur good times never seemed so gooood

PassTheTwiglets · 14/07/2011 22:23

Thankyou, that's better.

Though I would've gone with BA BA BA instead of dur dur dur, but I will let you off.

Even the busker at the Tube station was playing Sweet Caroline last night! It was because my mater is a big fan of Mr D that I was there, as the Aged Parents could not use their tickets.

Have I emptied the room with my singing?

LadyDamerel · 14/07/2011 22:25

If we do a Neil Diamond singalong I'll be the requisite one at the back who has no idea of the words but lustily joins in with the sweet Caroline dur dur dur each time.

(I actually don't think my mum was a ND fan, I was just being naughty!)

TheSmallPrint · 14/07/2011 22:26

Picky

PassTheTwiglets · 14/07/2011 22:26

Sorry, Small, I didn't catch that...?

LadyDamerel · 14/07/2011 22:26

Ain't no Sunshine is one of LordD's favourite songs. He just got very excited when I opened the link.

TheSmallPrint · 14/07/2011 22:28

I mist be away to bed before the smallboy awakes again. Send sleepy thoughts this way please.

PassTheTwiglets · 14/07/2011 22:31

Night, Smallio! I'm orf too, night all. Good luck with the little man's sleeping tonight!

Night Small

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 14/07/2011 22:34

I am glad to have brought harmony, both musical and marital, to The Priory. And, oh, Twiggy, that link to the home movie footage of me and my fiance. It is exquisite beyond words.

::looks back in a slightly scandalised way at Maud::

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 14/07/2011 22:37

::Muffled sounds::

Good night ladies! Are you still around, Massive?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 14/07/2011 22:38

::Further muffled soumds::

I've been corrupted by all you wanton floozies, that's what it is.

::closes drawing room door firmly and ushers Dixon upstairs::

LadyDamerel · 14/07/2011 22:40

RESULT! We've finally dragged Maud down to our level Wink.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 14/07/2011 22:52

::Clambers out from underneath Mr Thornton::

But I think you misunderstand, LadyDamerel. I had, as you know, swooned onto the carpet as a consequence of Twiggy's beauteous vid and Mr Thornton had purely by accident (ahem) fallen on top of me. As we were deep in discussion of Plato at the time, and as I was somewhat enervated by my consumption of Polish cordial, we decided to continue our philosophical debate on the floor. Those muffled sounds you heard were me arguing with Mr Thornton about the correct interpretation of the Socratic Dialogues.
