I'll give you 10 points right now if you can recreate what your final post would have been.

FlouncerInDenial · 23/11/2020 18:10

And yes, everyone's a winner, by hot chocolate (although sadly not in your case).

The next lyric is more apt for you.

Hint, it was sung by someone who was considered a relatively hot soap star at that point.

With your clue @FlouncerInDenial I'm guessing it's Nick Berry's every loser wins ?

Interested in this thread?

Correct shiny.
Double points as I'm in a generous mood tonight (needtoknow's confession has tickled me!)

Not sure how to play this but I'm currently sashaying around the kitchen to....

Funny it's just like a scene out of Voltaire, Twisting out of sight
'Cause when all the curtains are pulled back
We'll turn and see the circles we've traced

NeedToKnow101 · 23/11/2020 19:51

That's exactly how you play @Jocasta2018 , just add the decade too...

@FlouncerInDenial

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I am awarding you 100 whole, actual points, needtoknow, because I like your style.

Plus an extra bonus pity point at the lack of success.

Did you explain to MN why you were doing it? 10 points if you did. If you went as far as explaining to them it's so you could be sure to win the trophy on awards night, I'll award you 2500. (Not a typo)
I would need evidence of this in order for points to be allocated.

Coffee, can we have a "best trier" category at awards night?

😂😂😂😂😂 God loves a trier! This is what I posted... "Please MN can you delete this comment so that I can add one and be last on the thread and get my revenge on flouncerindenial. It will make my year (and more importantly ruin hers!!!! Thank you so much in advance .. (praying emoji)" 😂😂

😂😂😂 something like, 'Surprise!!!!!! Cor blimey @FlouncerInDenial you left this place in a right state; fairy lights still on, broken bottles and puddles of red wine everywhere.. good thing MN HQ called on my services to tidy up your mess. Whose the loser now?!! See you on the other side..🤣🤪😘

Honeyroar · 23/11/2020 20:06

That’s really funny! You’re both very sad though and are basically pot hunting!! 🏆. @CoffeeBeansGalore they should both be disqualified from the finishing threads category!! 🤣

FlouncerInDenial · 23/11/2020 20:07

Brilliant, needtoknow.

Respect!

Points being awarded now. I think we said 12 in total, didn't we?

I missed this.

Shut your honey trap, or I'll be removing points, you name dropping ex air stewardess, you!

FlouncerInDenial · 23/11/2020 20:51

I think we agreed around 12.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/11/2020 22:35

Evening all

Sorry, busy day.

@FlouncerInDenial yes to the Golden Girls, thank you for being a friend 👍😊.

@NeedToKnow101 is still winning the finishing category, by a long way. And, get that message in on the end of this one 🤣.

If you agree to award points @FlouncerInDenial, I think they should stand . . .

I'm dancing the seven veils
Want you to pick up my scarf
See how the black moon fades
Soon I can give you my heart

The old man said to me
Said don't always take life so seriously
Play the flute
And dance and sing your song

80's
