@midgebabe

Was that too easy I think?
Absolutely not!

Absolutely do NOT give us a harder theme!!!!!

Honeyroar · 05/12/2020 21:33

Oh Midge that was far too easy for our trophy shelf elf. I only come here to pip her. Anyway Flouncing sock bubble who coverts trophies, you didn’t get all five, you missed the group on the Joy Division one, plus you didn’t use capitals, which is illegal when you work in a school.. So no points there, sorry!

I was RUSHING, Honey. So that fits like you didn't beat me.

Pointlessly, as it turned out.

And, I should point out to anyone worrying, that my job, whilst in primary schools, doesn't include educating young minds.
Very sensibly, they keep me well away from the children!
(What with the potty mouth and all!)

Gits, not fits!

I (on more than one pccasion) corrected the Nursery whiteboard because the spelling and punctuation errors were making my teeth itch Blush

Auto-correct is a fucker, coffee!

As is rushing so bloody Honey's and their ilk don't swoop in and pip other posters

NeedToKnow101 · 05/12/2020 22:00

Oh bum I missed this whole flurry... was watching The feckin' Crown ... and I knew at least 3 of them.
I'm just not in sync with you guys... sigh

Honeyroar · 05/12/2020 22:01

I reckon our little trophy shelf monster is one of those really scary dinner ladies that screams at children for running or not eating their cabbage.

Honeyroar · 05/12/2020 22:03

I’m never in sync usually @NeedToKnow101. I just happened to wander in and noticed a couple. Usually I arrive moments after run of really easy ones have just been guessed!

Me too! And I always miss Hall & Oates for some reason. Maybe someone can put one up for me.

Honeyroar · 05/12/2020 22:14

I need to post some lyrics. I need a think. I’m getting where I always put the same songs on!

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 05/12/2020 22:14

Watch out, or I'll chew you up, needtoknow!

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 05/12/2020 22:16

I'm going to put some up later or tomorrow, when I can get to the computer. I've got an idea for a theme and everything!

I just started a theme, then got deja vu that it's all been done before.. maybe I'll do it anyway..

😂😂😂 she's a sweetie stealer too..
ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 05/12/2020 22:23

Only 1 of those statements is true...

Honeyroar · 05/12/2020 22:25

I can’t do themes, guessing or posting! 🤪

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 05/12/2020 22:33

Reason enough for me to do it, honey-pie!

NeedToKnow101 · 05/12/2020 22:38

I feel a theme coming on.....sorry if we've been here before Grin

Music is a world within itself
With a language we all understand
With an equal opportunity
For all to sing, dance and clap their hands
70s

Touching the very part of me, it's making my soul sing
80s

Oh when there's no future
How can there be sin
We're the flowers
In the dustbin
70s

I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
70s

Listen girl, I ain't sayin you're helpless
But sometime, sometime those are the things that bein' in love's about
80s

Silk or leather or a feather
Respect yourself and all of those around you
Silk or leather or a feather
Respect yourself and all of those around you
80s

Honeyroar · 05/12/2020 22:41

Second one is Sade Your Love is king.

Honeyroar · 05/12/2020 22:41

Racing car one is Queen. Don’t stop me now.
