Your job's not at risk is it, honey? Sending hugs

Honeyroar · 13/10/2020 22:53

No lovely, I don’t think so. I’ve just got soaked two many times today on a day off doing things for my liveries that they haven’t even noticed, and my mums not good, but most of all I’m just tired. But thanks for the hugs and I probably need points to catch up, I was a bit busy last week.x

Honeyroar · 13/10/2020 22:53

Too many even!

@FlouncerInDenial yes! It was Kermit the Frog It's Not Easy Bein' Green Smile

Now, what about orange?

Honeyroar · 13/10/2020 22:57

Which is orange Twig?

FlouncerInDenial · 13/10/2020 23:01

hastily snatches the points away again

I think the orange one is "I've had my fun and now it's time".
Can't think of a single song with orange in the title.

FlouncerInDenial · 13/10/2020 23:09

I'm sorry about your mum, honey. This is a really shitty time when there's someone we worry about.

Honeyroar · 13/10/2020 23:12

I can only think of Orange Juice, the band, but don’t think it’s that.

FlouncerInDenial · 13/10/2020 23:26

Twig has already said it isn't, I think.

My head's full of mellow yellow atm, which isn't helping! That wasn't even the yellow song 🤣

TwigTheWonderKid · 13/10/2020 23:27

Orange is in the two word title of the song (and the album it comes from has a one word title which is also a colour mentioned in one of the other answers you found quite hard... )

If that's too cryptic, here are more lyrics:

Follow me, don't follow me)
I've got my spine, I've got my ...
(Collar me, don't collar me)
I've got my spine, I've got my ...

Well done @FlouncerInDenial 👍😊

Me or someone else? I wasn't around to get most of them (although DEFINITELY would have done!). The only one I got was bloody Kermit.

So the album's called green?

FlouncerInDenial · 13/10/2020 23:36

I had the lyrics of that one up on my bedroom wall as a teenager!

FlouncerInDenial · 13/10/2020 23:37

(Sorry, that was to coffee)

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/10/2020 23:43

I had a poster of a puppy asleep in a blanket with something about Sunday mornings doing nothing 🤣. Always was a dog lover 🐶

Ooh! It’s Orange Crush by REM!

Sorry to hear your mum isn’t well Honey - and that you’ve had a generally rubbish day...

CoffeeBeansGalore · 13/10/2020 23:55

Oh, I've finally decided my future lies

Of happiness to shade his eyes
He's glad, oh, that he found
Somebody who he can rely on
