Ah right ok, I’ll pop back on here tomorrow then 😀

Honeyroar · 12/12/2020 22:25

Midge I hope you gave the baby a good 80s name in honour of this thread, like Madonna or even Midge (Ure)!

[quote Honeyroar]@elfonthe shelf ahh! Yours is The Doors - BREAK on through.[/quote]
Yes
Did you like my clue?

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 12/12/2020 22:29

I thought midge's "baby" was her DD back from uni. Am I totally wrong???? Xmas Confused

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 12/12/2020 22:30

[quote CoffeeBeansGalore]@CarnageAtTheGardenCentre It's full! She's winding someone up 😁[/quote]
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I do amuse myself!

Honeyroar · 12/12/2020 22:32

It probably is @shelfcreature but I’m much more amused by the thought of a baby called Madonna with a big lace gloves, a rahrah skirt and fingerless gloves!

Honeyroar · 12/12/2020 22:34

Lol, I’m not sure whether admitting that the clue helped would earn/lose me points!🤔

midgebabe · 12/12/2020 22:46

She s 22, thought I mentioned bringing her back from uni on Sunday?

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 12/12/2020 22:50

No points, honey. Just on principle.

And I'm absolutely determined that the next time I nc, it'll be to something you can't disrespectfully shorten.
I'm still bearing a grudge that you called me sock

midgebabe · 12/12/2020 22:50

Oh...a link in the literature theme is that it was Dante's Devine comedy

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 12/12/2020 22:51

@midgebabe

Yes. I read that midge.

Sadly, the rest of them on here are totally self-absorbed

midgebabe · 12/12/2020 22:52

A weeks a long time!

Honeyroar · 12/12/2020 22:56

I have the memory of a goldfish, sorry Midge!
To the flouncing sock are you a gangster on the run? Is that why you stay so secretive!

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 12/12/2020 22:58

Nothing so glamorous, sadly.

NeedToKnow101 · 12/12/2020 22:58

😂😂oh yeah sorry, we even had a convo about her! Could have been your youngest I suppose ..

shinynewapple2020 · 12/12/2020 23:03

Evening everyone Smile thanks coffee

@midgebabe Teens & 20s students create far more washing than a newborn.

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 12/12/2020 23:25

True dat, coffee, and I used washable nappies!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 12/12/2020 23:31

All 80s, no theme 😊

Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve as I've done from the start

Someday I believe it
You will come to my rescue
Unchain my heart you're keeping
And let me start anew, ooh

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

All my lazy teenage boasts
Are now high precision ghosts

@CoffeeBeansGalore - your first is Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, the Police and the last is The King of Rock and Roll, Prefab Sprout

CoffeeBeansGalore · 12/12/2020 23:48

@FlouncingBabooshka, Correct to both 👍😊

OP posts:
FlouncingBabooshka · 12/12/2020 23:49

Ooh - 200 bonus points to @midgebabe 🌟

FlouncingBabooshka · 12/12/2020 23:51

Posting this only because it randomly popped into my head and I know it’s not a song I’ve posted before!

80s
When situations never change
Tomorrow looks unsure
Don't leave your destiny to chance
What are you waiting for
