I think I may be enjoying the dog pics more than the lyrics 🐶😂🤣

NeedToKnow101 · 24/10/2020 10:00

@Honeyroar

Is it Abracadabra? Steve Millar band?

I love your dogs coffee. We also live in the middle of nowhere with a house full of dogs.

@Honeyroar - no, but lyrics v similar aren't they?

NeedToKnow101 · 24/10/2020 10:19

I'm in London, here's a view from our local park to the centre. I fantasise about living in the country but probably a big village.

Apologies for hijacking the thread with my pics last night - one glass of wine and I get carried away 😄

All 80s - go!

  1. Every time I look into your loving eyes
I see a love that money just can't buy One look from you I drift away Afraid that you are here to stay…
  1. I, I went off to the right
Without saying goodbye, goodbye Where does it go from here? Is it down to the lake I fear?
  1. But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day To believe in you Tell me, tell me , tell me
  1. Can you hear them
They talk about us Telling lies Well that's no surprise
  1. Until the unity is threatened by
Those who have and who have not Those who are with and those who are without And dangle jobs like a donkey's carrot Until you don't know where you are

@NeedToKnow101 Nice you have some green space even though you are in London.

@Honeyroar I know it's hair, mud & paw prints everywhere & constant cleaning, but they are worth it 😊

@FlouncerInDenial
Thanks for the bonus point!

Too high
Can't come down
Losin' my head
Spinnin' 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?

Early 90s

Is this toxic? Brittany if so.

I thought it was last night, but then thought honey probably had it. But if she didn't....

FlouncerInDenial · 24/10/2020 13:31

I'll try, needtoknow. Tbh, I want my computer, cos then I can look up lots and copy and paste them in a one-er, and our computer is currently disassembled. So not imminently. I will give notice though if you'd like me to (cos it's fun for me watching you all, plus I do luffs the laydeez on this thread 💕)
Honeyroar · 24/10/2020 13:43

Can I have half a teaching bonus point because I had a place on a PGCE 23 years ago that I never took up because I got the airline job?

Honeyroar · 24/10/2020 13:45

Flouncer I think you’re right it’s Toxic.

midgebabe · 24/10/2020 13:45

I do talks in schools and host work experience students ...does that count for 2 education points?

NeedToKnow101 · 24/10/2020 14:14

Yes it's Britney Spears, Toxic.
I only added it this morning though, are you in another space time dimension? I was going to add it last night, so that's weird!

NeedToKnow101 · 24/10/2020 14:14

Let's all have a bonus point!!

Drunk/hungover, it's a fine line Grin
Sorry if it was this morning. I was up early after a late n drunk night. My house is discombobulated currently (not to FlouncingB's extent) and I'm a bit thrown!

Sober me says absolutely not. Ask me again once the sun's over the yard arm 😉

Ffs.

THIS is why I shouldn't post when I'm drunk.

Ok, extra bonus points for needtoknow, flea, coffee, and me.
Single bonus point for honey and midge (just the one. Frankly, you're cheeky for even asking)
1/2 point for anyone who even went to school or had a child who at any point in their lives ever attended one.

My generous nature is the death of me

FlouncerInDenial · 24/10/2020 14:27

Ever, not even
