Yes to alive and kicking and sittin' on the dock of the bay.

Right you lovely people my phone is about to die and I’ve drunk too much so I’m off to bed. See you tomorrow no doubt!xx

Nighty night

NeedToKnow101 · 01/08/2020 00:22

Correct @shinynewapple2020 and night night everyone ❤️

SingingBabooshkaBadly · 01/08/2020 00:39

Goodness - I’ve missed a lot!

@Honeyroar - sorry to hear your news - hope you’re ok.

Will have to check in the morning to see if any of mine have been guessed.

It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
Late 70s

This one’s Are Friends Electric by Tubeway Army.

See you all tomorrow.

Victorious got two of yours I think 19 Paul hardcastle and I’m on the top of the world the carpenters

VictoriousSockPuppet · 01/08/2020 08:13

Yes ellie

Fleamaker123 · 01/08/2020 09:14

You lot were busy last night feel like a party pooper leaving early!

Honeyroar hope you're ok, I took redundancy a couple of years ago after 28 years, strange feeling isn't it x

Honeyroar · 01/08/2020 09:33

Morning all. I’m fine. I actually feel weirdly better now it’s actually happened. I’ve been furloughed for four months with redundancy threatened (it’s British Airways), so it’s been stressful- this thread has been a good distraction! It’s just sad to see so many wonderful colleagues upset.

Do you think I can put 80s song lyrics guesser on my CV? 😃

Yes you definitely should! Can't go wrong with that on your CV.

Really sorry though x

@Honeyroar Glad you are ok. 💖

Interest in modern history? 😄

I don’t think anyone got my flying related one a page or so back.

And re the You turn me on - I asked whether there was another song with the lyric that went You turn me on. Then you’re gone. I think it was Aerosmith’s Crazy!

Sorry I derailed things a bit last night - had had a glass or two!😀

CoffeeBeansGalore · 01/08/2020 11:34

@Honeyroar Everyone deserves a glass or 2 sometimes. Hope you had a nice evening 😊

People gossip on the doorstep
Think they know the score
She's giving him the runaround
The man from number four

80's

CoffeeBeansGalore · 01/08/2020 13:46

He holds me close like a thief of the heart
He plays a melody
Born to tear me all apart
The silence is broken
1970s

Fleamaker123 · 01/08/2020 15:03

Fleamaker123 · 01/08/2020 15:52

CoffeeBeansGalore · 01/08/2020 16:13

Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall
Do you remember dawn escapes from moon washed college halls

Coffee, that's Kayleigh by Marillion

Fleamaker123 · 01/08/2020 16:22

No more lonely nights for me
This is how it's gonna be

70s

Honeyroar · 01/08/2020 16:36

Reposting this that got buried last night! (90s)

Let’s go and see the stars
The Milky Way
It could be ours
Oh!
