Morning all.

T2, shiny, so we've got it fairly easy. Hugs to needtoknow and any other T4 on here.

I was hoping for tomorrow that coffee would be catering, or at least supplying some of the home baking she always references .
Obviously, needtoknow will need to wear a facemask throughout. Probably gloves as well. We might spray her with sanitizer (can't be too careful). For the rest of us, formal dress is optional.
You can drop my presents round any time to suit.
But I thought we'd have a lyric-off at around 8?

I mostly won't concentrate on festive songs, but will reserve my eye rolls if the rest of you want to indulge.

Is there anything else?

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf Give me a chance! I have cupcakes, shortbread, mince pies & the galaxy counter cookies will be done tomorrow afternoon. That should be enough? 😁

Just heard these two 80s classics...

My obsession
It's my creation
You'll understand
It's not important now

And

I feel the pain from the push and shove
No matter what you put me through
I'll still believe in love, and I say

NeedToKnow101 · 20/12/2020 14:35

And I'll be in full hazmat ElfShelf, don't worry!

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 20/12/2020 15:06

second one is Love Action, which I think Human League.

Can't think what the first one is for the moment, but give me a second...

I'm not sure a full hazmat will be sufficient

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 20/12/2020 15:07

is the first one a female singer? I can soooooo nearly hear it in my head, but not quite.

I think the word creation is drawn out - creeaaaaaation ????

perditasugarplum · 20/12/2020 15:14

I can hear that first one in my head, aargh! I know it and yet....

xmasfairybuns · 20/12/2020 15:15

@needdtoknow I've remembered it, my Dad used to have a very funny description for that band.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 20/12/2020 15:28

Lost in a riddle that Saturday night
Far away on the other side
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through

And we shouldn't even think about tomorrow
Sweet memories will last a long, long time
And we'll have a good time, baby, don't you worry
And if we're still playin' around, boy, that's just fine
80s

You know the song but that is not the title. Keep trying 😊

I think Needtoknow’s first one is OMD, just can’t think which one. It’s slow/gentle.

Honeyroar · 20/12/2020 15:36

Moonlight Shadow.
