D’ya know it was quite nice. Just my parents, husband and stepson. We had a gorgeous afternoon tea delivered and drank bubbles. Very lazy day!

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 29/06/2020 21:48

Sounds lovely honey. Was it warm/dry? Weather where I am was decidedly dodgy this weekend

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 29/06/2020 21:49

Willow, yes. Ant music. Well done

Well xsquared got the one I meant, but the others would fit just as well! Grin

I’m going to add a couple more lines to my outstanding one. It was a one hit wonder from the 80s.

Jesus went out for a walk with his mother
The scribes and the Pharisees plotting mugger hugger
They locked him up and threw away the key
He’s said why is everybody picking on me

I did not put you here to suffer
I did not put you here to whine
I put you here to live one another
And to get out and have a good time

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 29/06/2020 21:54

Now it seems you don't care for me, and I don't understand why

80s

Honeyroar · 29/06/2020 21:56

@prosecco. No it poured down all day, in fact it has ever since! But was still a nice day.

Honeyroar · 29/06/2020 21:57

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies Too late for goodbye Julien Lennon,

Honeyroar · 29/06/2020 22:25

@Iggi999 amazing how many songs start with Friday night!

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 29/06/2020 22:36

Yes honey, that's the song. Glad you managed to have a lovely day.

I liked the idea of it being kids from fame

Iggi999 · 29/06/2020 23:02

Friday night was the one with the comedian guy wasn't it?

I know the other song's chorus is "let my people go go" but that's as far as I can go!

Honeyroar · 29/06/2020 23:15

Well done @Iggi999 that was it’s name. By the Rainmakers.

Friday night live with Ben Elton? Gosh we used to watch that after the pub, then Prisoner Cell Block H with its cardboard walls!😁

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 29/06/2020 23:46

Loved a bit of prisoner cell block h.

All I can remember now is the mean bitch guard (with a deeply buried heart of gold) and trixie the one who keeps getting married.

CountessFrog · 29/06/2020 23:49

Vinegar tits?

KatherineJaneway · 30/06/2020 06:27

Tongue tied and twisted
At the price I've had to pay
Your careless notions
Have silenced these emotions

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 30/06/2020 07:33

Who's that girl.
Annie Lennox and dave Stewart in a group beginning with E but I can't think how to spell!

KatherineJaneway · 30/06/2020 07:44

Yes Prosecco It was Eurythmics.

Honeyroar · 30/06/2020 15:45

And I hope to god you’re not as dumb as you make out.
I hope to god. I hope to god.

Willow2017 · 30/06/2020 15:57

That's Rip it up Honey but cant remember who the group were.

Nobody got mine yet!

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 30/06/2020 16:21

Orange juice, wasn't it?

ProseccoBubbleFantasies · 30/06/2020 16:23

Was yours the dry martini one, Willow? It didn't come to me. Sorry

Willow2017 · 30/06/2020 16:23

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Orange juice, wasn't it?
Yes!
Willow2017 · 30/06/2020 16:25

@ProseccoBubbleFantasies

Was yours the dry martini one, Willow? It didn't come to me. Sorry
Will add a bit more.

She stands to the side
There's no more to this than meets the eye,
Everybody drinks Martini dry,
And talks about clothes and the latest styles.

Honeyroar · 30/06/2020 16:49

Yes Orange juice and rip it up

CoffeeBeansGalore · 30/06/2020 19:39

Evening all. Here's an easy one 😊

Look out or they'll tell you
You're a Superstar
Two weeks and you're an all time legend
I think the games have gone much too far
