Needtoknow, I can't quote your post, because it's a quoted post, but you do make me laugh. Grin 💋💕

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 05/12/2020 17:53

Midge, again, can't quote your post because it's another quoted post.
But I promise not to stalk you in any proper scary way!

And re your suggestion, with the points.... I'm sure you and I could come to a mutually acceptable arrangement???? 😉

NeedToKnow101 · 05/12/2020 18:15

"Wild guess, probably wrong. Walk the dinosaur????

Envious of you going out, needtoknow. I'm in T2, but my friends are refusing to meet me because i have no friends they're worried about putting at risk the aging parents they're all desperate to see at Christmas"

Wrong and 😂😂😂@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf .. it felt a bit weird meeting socially tbh. I don't have parents anymore but my friend who organised it does..we kept our distance though..

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf ..I will trust you with a fair allocation. If I end up with zero I will know my trust has been abused!

Sucker!!!!!

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 05/12/2020 18:33

I can imagine it felt odd, needtoknow. And also freezing.
But very lovely too.

I miss my friends! (Or would if I had any).

Did you order scotch eggs????

midgebabe · 05/12/2020 18:51

If you aren't nice I'll do another "interesting" theme

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 05/12/2020 19:26

Eeek!!!!

You've got me there!

midgebabe · 05/12/2020 21:13

So since someone is being good, this should be a relatively simple theme. I am saving the other one just in case.

1.	 So put me on a highway and show me a sign, 70’

2.	There are times when all the worlds asleep, 

the questions run to deep for such a simple man 70s

3.	 Where does it go from here, is it down to the lake I fear 80s

4.	Coast to coast la to Chicago western Male, 

across the north and south, to key largo, love for sale, 80s

5.	When routine bites hard and ambitions are low, 

and resentment rides high but emotions won’t grow 80s

Honeyroar · 05/12/2020 21:19

Is the down to the lake one Fantastic Day by Haircut 100?

Honeyroar · 05/12/2020 21:20

The routines bite one is Joy Division - Love will tear us apart.

Honeyroar · 05/12/2020 21:20

The coast to coast one is Sade’s Smooth Operator.

midgebabe · 05/12/2020 21:21

@Honeyroar

Is the down to the lake one Fantastic Day by Haircut 100?
Right band, unfortunately for the theme, wrong song .
midgebabe · 05/12/2020 21:22

The other two are correct

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 05/12/2020 21:22

1 is take it to the limit, the eagles.
2 is the logical song. Supertramp
3 is live plus 1, haircut 100
4 is sade, smooth operator
5 is love will tear us apart.

No idea at all as to the theme. But I am quite stupid...

Honeyroar · 05/12/2020 21:22

Feel like I should know the all the worlds asleep one too, but can’t think.

Honeyroar · 05/12/2020 21:23

Stupid and pipped! 😛

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 05/12/2020 21:23

Grrr.

Bloody, bloody honey.

You've not got the theme either though, honey-pie?

It's midge, so bound to be horribly obscure and twisted!

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 05/12/2020 21:24

@Honeyroar

Stupid and pipped! 😛
But at least I got all 5, eh!
midgebabe · 05/12/2020 21:25

It is not at all twisted

The only slight twist is that in once case it's the band name not the song title that is the clue

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 05/12/2020 21:26

Division
100

Is the theme maths? clutches wildly at straws

midgebabe · 05/12/2020 21:27

Oh no @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf got herself more points, she will be insufferable !

midgebabe · 05/12/2020 21:27

Although with haircut 100 it's was the PLUS that was the real clue

midgebabe · 05/12/2020 21:28

Was that too easy I think?

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 05/12/2020 21:31

Is that the right theme????? Bloody hell.

Insufferable???? I don't know what you mean, I'm surely the most modest on here
