😄Yes @NeedToKnow101 there was a song for everyone (well some!) under a theme.

Perdita just adapted their name for Xmas.

Can you not see the stars down there? It’s lovely here too. Can’t quite believe it’s forecast to pour tomorrow. Jupiter and Saturn are incredibly close together this week. We had the telescope our earlier, it was lovely. (You probably knew that)

This thread is going to run out pretty quick tomorrow for our Xmas do! We’re already on page 27!

NeedToKnow101 · 20/12/2020 22:54

We do get stars in London of course, and can often see Mars (though not Uranus fnaar fnaar). We just don't get the full billions of stars Milky Way effect because of light pollution.

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 20/12/2020 22:56

The first one is black coffee in bed. Squeeze

The third to last is jump, van halen

The last but one is, of course, the Smiths and this charming man

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 20/12/2020 22:58

Don't worry, needtoknow. You may not have stars, but you've got a mutating virus

Honeyroar · 20/12/2020 22:58

No I just meant was the weather crap (that’s usually why you can’t see the stars here in the Pennines!)

CoffeeBeansGalore · 20/12/2020 23:56

Morning all

@perditaplum, I don't know whether you've seen it on the thread, or whether anyone's told you explicitly, but we are going to have a mini socially-distant and covid-compliant Christmas party tonight.
You're welcome to come and join if you're free.

Lots of lyrics. 8 o'clock. No requirement to wear a santa hat unless you want to. 🥳

FB's third song is for @twigthewonderkid

David Bowie Drive in Saturday

NeedToKnow101 · 21/12/2020 13:01

You're all stars in my eyes Grin

Hope you are able to make it tonight @WhipperSnapperSteve

Thank you @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf and @FlouncingBabooshka

I'll no doubt be playing gooseberry to the xbox tonight so will look forward to 8pm.

CarnageAtTheElfsXmasParty · 21/12/2020 16:33

Aw, totally missed the Truly Madly Deeply one 😮😮😮

FlouncingBabooshka · 21/12/2020 18:23

Right - got my dress for tonight sorted out. Luckily, despite what happened to the dress I borrowed from her last time (the one she had borrowed from Kylie), , Gaga has agreed to lend me another outfit.

Is it ok with everyone if H from Steps tags along? He never did move out after the Awards Ceremony and now we’re in Tier 4 we’re stuck with him for the foreseeable. He’s coming dressed as an elf.

That's fine FB. I don't think he'll fall asleep on your patio this time. And donkey is stabled securely now so that won't be a problem 😁

@perditasugarplum Have a look back at end of thread 10 & beginning of 11. We had an awards night 🤣.

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 21/12/2020 19:08

You look fabulouso.
I was hoping you'd wear your chicken outfit. We could've stuffed you and served you round.

H from steps welcome, as long as (a) he is in your bubble and (b) there's nothing collaborative going on.
I hadn't realized you were T4 though. Please strap on a facemask and dip yourself in bleach before 8 o'clock

Evening!!!!!!! Xmas Grin

Some random lyrics no theme.. my brain is still frazzled for some reason (afternoon drinking)

Life goes on day after day, after day, after day
Who-ha who-ha
Who-ha who-ha
80s

Some say no to the album, the show
Bum rush the sound I made a year ago
I guess you know, you guess I'm just a radical
Not a sabbatical, yes to make it critical
80s

Everybody's waitin' for me to arrive
Sendin' out the message to all of my friends
We'll be lookin' flashy in my Mercedes Benz
I got lotsa style, check my gold diamond rings
I can go for miles if you know what I mean
90s
