👋 hello fellow 1970ers 😊

Well I’m a 69’er.

[quote NeedToKnow101]**@FlouncerInDenial* and @midgebabe* it's Police and Thieves, famously covered by the Clash.

The original was by Junior Murvin. He sung in a falsetto so maybe you thought he was a lady, Flouncer. 🤪[/quote]
Oh. I'll Google.

I noticed your name drop. Honey and FlouncingB won't be pleased you're going after their crowns!

@Honeyroar I thought you were younger looking at your halloween pic.

@midgebabe

Well I never knew it was a cover . Only know the clash version

And at least we now know that peas are thieves

Thieves!!!@CoffeeBeansGalore I think I do know the clash version, but not so well.

Can't quote it as it's a quoted post, but I can't guess the one I know, dear needtoknow, can I. But you now know I know it.
Isn't that right, dear!

@FlouncerInDenial did you tag me by mistake? I know nothing of the clash or peas

No idea coffee, I'm drinking. Sorry x

On a school night??? 🤣

Yes. I am the youngest! I am the youngest! I am the youngest on this thread!!!

@CoffeeBeansGalore

On a school night??? 🤣

Not working tomorrow! And very stressful week so far!

In my head I'm still 26, but the mirror & the kids soon dispel that illusion 😄😄

'I noticed your name drop. Honey and FlouncingB won't be pleased you're going after their crowns!'

It's my crown too! We had a three-way win.

It's my DS birthday tomorrow btw. I've got to make a cake now. FFS

It's been a busy week here as well, just tomorrow to get through then off Friday. Woohoo!

@CoffeeBeansGalore

In my head I'm still 26, but the mirror & the kids soon dispel that illusion 😄😄

😂😂 and I'm perpetually 27.

@NeedToKnow101 do you need a recipe or are you sorted?

@Honeyroar

Well I’m a 69’er.

Me too Honeyroar

I'm sorted thanks though 😍 unless you can pop round and make it? ., just making lemon drizzle tbh. He's not into chocolate cake.

Lemon drizzle is lovely. Sorry a bit too far just to pop in to make it 😁.

I often look at people and think, god they're old... then find out they're actually younger than me. I'm not sure how old I think I am 😂

@Fleamaker123 Yep, me too! Had a lovely compliment back in the summer though. I met my daughter's next door neighbour & afterwards she said to my dd that I didn't look old enough to be her mum. Lovely lady, must need her eyes testing 🤣

Oh no, trying to educate DH and I am begunn8ng to think police and thieves was mine only on vynal and in the possession of the ex. Along with babylons burning

@midgebabe enlighten me - what's Babylon's Burning?

That was the ruts I think

And my meteors album

And more. He hated my taste in music. He hated lots of things I liked.

DH made dd a lemon drizzle for her birthday on sunday too.

Happy birthday to mini needtoknow!
