Posting it 3 times doesn't mean I didn't get in first, coffee!

Oh my uncle charlie is a cynical man
And his wife's a touch sceptical too
They've got one of those stickers in the back of their van
That says 'we've seen the prices at the zoo's
Well just the other day I knocked of their door and said that I was passing
And charlie launched a scathing attack
When I asked what I had done he said
"You stupid bastard, we live in a cul-de-sac"

Wasn’t Moonlight Shadow Sally Oldfield rather than Mike?

@FlouncerInDenial, you missed a couple of Kate Bush songs. One has been guessed, one hasn’t...

Heard a palace spokesman mention sarah
Said she'd known the loins of jacques Lafayette
She's well-prepared to be a standard bearer
Pure as the proverbial driven sleet!

Yes it was Sally Oldfield come to think of it.

My phone is playing up too... my posts are disappearing then reappearing 5 minutes later

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be ok
Television dreams of tomorrow

No @Fleamaker123 - you were right, I checked and it was Mike not Sally. I must have imagined a female singer...sorry!

That sounds like another Half man half biscuit. I like their humour but not the music so much.

I can’t stay up. Last day at work before I’m furloughed in my new job! I’m a jinx! I can’t bear the thought of Trump winning and this not posting then getting seven posts is irritating. Like echoes!
