@FlouncerInDenial 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s some funny that I missed the numbers in the name, and even with them they still haven’t come anywhere close to the points you’ve amassed!

Honeyroar · 22/09/2020 13:03

I’ll give you another line Flea, that will probably give it away..

What is wrong in my life
That I must get drunk every night?

It's not surprising at all honey. I'm just far and away the best on the thread. As the spreadsheet clearly demonstrates

@ellie1967 yes to Victims - surprised that one wasn’t pounced on instantly!

FlouncingBabooshka · 22/09/2020 18:06

Just seen this on TOTP2:

Saying his goodbyes again
Wheels are in his eyes again
Says if you see Jean now ask her
Please to pity me

70s

FlouncingBabooshka · 22/09/2020 18:09

When I saw you next day
I really couldn't tell you
'coz you might go and tell your mother.

90s

FlouncingBabooshka · 22/09/2020 18:11

Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come,
And a bell was ringing in the village square

FlouncingBabooshka · 22/09/2020 18:13

I will drive past your house
And if the lights are all down
I'll see who's around
