Could be. I keep thinking The Whispers or Galaxy, but I could just have chocolate cravings!🤣

Fleamaker123 · 09/11/2020 15:54

Yes Honeyroar and NeedToKnow101 for Phil Fearon and Galaxy, Dancing Tight 👏👏

I heard it this morning and it brightened my Monday morning 😂🤣 cheesy pop.

Sorry @FlouncerInDenial - I missed that. Wondered why you hadn’t got it.

No takers for the first one?

It’s Oxford Comma by Vampire Weekend.

FlouncerInDenial · 09/11/2020 18:53

I don't know that second one, no. But I do love an oxford comma, FlouncingB!

FlouncerInDenial · 09/11/2020 19:01

P.s. don't worry, I just awarded myself the points again

After all, we are on thread 15 now. Coffee's going to need the spreadsheet for the next awards night....

All 80s

  1. I can't stop the way I feel
Things you do don't seem real Tell me what you've got in mind 'Cause we're running out of time
  1. Punctured bicycle
On a hillside desolate Will nature make a man of me yet?
  1. I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you
I'm pretending and that's all I can do The love I'm sending Ain't making it through to your heart

Coffee, your second none is the Smiths, This Charming Man.

FlouncingBabooshka · 09/11/2020 20:26

Second none? What does that mean Confused

Obvs!!!!!!!

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Ooh, fun!

Please may we have the ‘poster who’s met the most famous people award’ again?

I ask for the following reasons:

  1. I don’t stand much of a chance of winning anything else.
  2. Unless everyone’s having a very exciting lockdown I’m guessing there hasn’t been time for anyone to overtake @Honeyroar and me.
  3. I’ve remembered more people I forgot to mention last time, so as we tied then that should push me out ahead 😂
CoffeeBeansGalore · 09/11/2020 20:36

@FlouncingBabooshka Absolutely! In fact I will welcome category suggestions. And we will have plenty of time for voting as well 😁. I think a Christmas theme will possibly be in order (probably be in full lockdown again so will be only chance of a Christmas do . . . . . 🎅🎁❄)

Yes! Definitely! 🥂🍾
FlouncerInDenial · 09/11/2020 20:54

FLOUNCINGB! You are surely not offering up categories only you can win????

That's shameful behaviour

NeedToKnow101 · 09/11/2020 20:56

@FlouncingBabooshka - I've got quite a few more famous person stories up my sleeve... don't get complacent. Plus I thought I won that award?

NeedToKnow101 · 09/11/2020 20:57

... first time round?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 09/11/2020 21:02

Ahem @FlouncerInDenial - it will all be fair and above board witn voting for category winners 😊

CoffeeBeansGalore · 09/11/2020 21:08
