Apologies if I have missed anyone. Let me know if you spot any omissions 😊

On my way to see my friends who lived a couple blocks away from me (oh)
As I walked through the subway
It must have been about quarter past three
In front of me, stood a beautiful honey with a beautiful body
2000

We don't need no thought control
70s

I can’t seem to face up to the facts
I’m tense and nervous and I can’t relax
I can’t sleep coz my beds on fire
Don’t touch me I’m a real live wire
(80s)

Psycho killer Talking Heads

Is your latest one (with the beautiful Honey) Craig David. Can’t remember the name 5 days? Met her on Monday...

Hope @WhipperSnapperSteve is ok. I bet they’ll guess the other lyrics I posted.

@Honeyroar

You’re working at your leisure to learn the things you need The promises you make tomorrow will carry no guarantee I’ve seen your qualifications, you’ve got a PHD I’ve got one art o level, it did nothing for me me (80s)

@honeyroar - this is The Specials, Working for the Rat Race. 😊

It is! 🎉

@NeedToKnow101, thank you for the flowers 😘

Love your idea of a special, organised social event!

I am pretty much around and available at all times.

@Honeyroar

Right ho - a lyric..

Many people tell you that they’re your friend
You believe them
You need them
For what’s round the river bend
(80s)

Is this skin deep?

Flea, are you in education as well? I've had a feeling someone else on here was. Is it you?

So are we perhaps considering Monday night next week?
For the lyrics thread Christmas party?

Formal dress optional

Yes it’s Skindeep. By...??😄

If anyone had looked at the Facebook page I mentioned the other night they’d have got everything I’ve posted over the last couple of days (including the Damned) as they were all videos featured on there!

Lloyd cole?

What Facebook page?

It's not lloyd cole.

But can't think. Deep voiced male. Group. I can almost picture them

It's not the strangers is it? I don't think that's right. But it's that kind of group.
It's def not Julien cope.

Actually, I think it is the stranglers

12 tubes of blood, 12.

Phlebotomist got talking to me (she knew I'd been referred urgently as it was an urgent blood clinic) and I just dissolved into tears. She was brill. I need to have a couple of the tests repeated Thursday/Friday as they need two readings.

I'm up for a super game. Christmas (apart from the kids and DP, kids all grown and moved out (one abroad)) is deeply troubling for me (abusive childhood detailed elsewhere on MN) so I welcome an opportunity to get pissed and take your points! Sounds bliss!!

Thank you for all your support xx means so much. I might even hold off taking your precious points. Then again.....

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

Yes that was me

WhipperSnapperSteve hope you're ok 😘

Join us for the Christmas party... the last get together was a real laugh 😁

Oh Steve, that sounds like an upsetting day. ☹️

@shelfelf it was The Stranglers.
