@midgebabe

Well that's nice, I drop off under a table for a little nap , and you leave the venue! HOW ARE YIUR HEADS ?
Sorry @midgebabe - didn’t know you were under the table. I blame H. He said he’d done a thorough sweep of the venue before turning out the lights and locking up. Are you trapped there? He dropped the keys back to @CoffeeBeansGalore. She may have to come and let you out. Unless you can crawl through a window?

Why am I being revenged on Needtoknow? I was the one worrying whether you were on a park bench. (Were you? And if so who were you with?)

Honeyroar · 22/12/2020 09:46

My Duran one -

Words. Playing like deja vu
Like a radio tune I swear ive heard before
(90s)

This was outstanding too (only posted it five times)

And the weather is cruel
But the season of Yule
Warms the heart
But it still hurts
You’ve got your career
(90s/2000s)

ShelfElf may have been the evil not-genius, but you were there Honey, egg-nogging her on, and were the final nail in the coffin. It's gonna be hard to move past this. 😢..

My sofa was the park bench.. Note to self: don't mix Prosecco with Guinness in future...

NeedToKnow101 · 22/12/2020 09:54

I don't know the Duran Duran ones..

I've got too much energy to switch off my mind,
But not enough to get myself organized.
My heart is heavy--my head is confused,
And my aching little soul--has started burning blue!
I can't give you up, till I've got more than enough.
80s

Honeyroar · 22/12/2020 10:07

I’ll forgive YOU because of the egg nogging comment 🤣🤣

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 22/12/2020 10:30

croaks morning all. Those little Wine are stronger than they look, aren't they.

Hang on a minute...

WHAT THE BLOODY HELL HAS HAPPENED TO MY SPREADSHEET?????
I've got no points at all. Even flea has more than me. And sodding needtoknow has a number so large it doesn't fit into the excel box.

Ah... needtoknow.

Oh.

Oh

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 22/12/2020 10:35

Oh no, midge. Are you ok? I heard something like snoring, but I thought it was the pipes

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 22/12/2020 10:38

Correct flea, coffee (sorry I missed you'd got that. Although, to be fair, if I only missed one then I wasn't doing too badly) and FlouncingB.

Come undone. I love that song.

How's your cat? And your sofa? Did you eat your dad's Christmas present in the end?

Coffee, thank you for the cupcakes. They were lovely

Hey what d'ya mean even flea has more than me
Cheeky 😝

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 22/12/2020 10:45

Anyone else strongly suspect that FlouncingB and Mr FB are keeping H from steps as some sort sex slave/exploited slave labour thing?

One day he'll escape and we'll read his tale of horror in the tabloids

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 22/12/2020 10:49

🤣🤣🤣

Only that you not so bothered about the points, flea. So I tend to award any you get to me.

I'm screwed now, though. Cos even if I do that with EVERYBODY I don't stand a hope of catching La Need now.
Not if we're having an awards night at the end of thread 20 (which is what I assumed we were doing)? Coffee?
I'm not sure my hangover will have subsided by then.

Don't think you can get off lightly by fobbing me off with imaginary points, however many, Elf Shelf.. Midge could have got hypothermia!!

This is what happens when... (shakes head disappointedly)

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 22/12/2020 10:50

Btw coffee. I like what you've done with the thread title. Looks great on my watch list.
Very festive

Honeyroar · 22/12/2020 10:51

At least it will keep him off any Dancing on Ice/Strictly Xmas special (and that’s as deep as I want to think about that suggestion!!)

Correct for Come Undone.

Cat, sofa and dad’s chocs are fine but apparently the bin men are getting an empty box of quality streets and the Baileys has run out.

Honeyroar · 22/12/2020 10:51

And I don’t seem to have got up yet.

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 22/12/2020 10:53

I'm hardly responsible for midge, needtoknow. It's not my fault she can't handle her liquor.

But. Um. Good morning. You look fine today. Have you done something with your hair? It looks very.... um ....

I've heard vicious rumours of a baileys shortage. Desperately hoping they're untrue as I'm not shopping til tomorrow

And I don’t seem to have got up yet.
Probably best not yo rush. My world this morning is best described as "clammy"
ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 22/12/2020 10:55

To, not yo sighs

Honeyroar · 22/12/2020 11:25

All this talk of clammy worlds and H as a sex toy is really churning my stomach today!!🤢🤢🤢

midgebabe · 22/12/2020 11:27

I had to slide down a drainpipe. Most undignified. Then a not so nice policeman suggested I was up to no good, but at least he kindly gave me b&b.

Honeyroar · 22/12/2020 11:32

This one is for our elf. I think it was actually written for her. Female singer, powerful, athletic lady. (and I’ve met her!)

Lordy Lordy Lordy
I can’t help it I like to party
It’s genetic. It’s electrifying
Wind me up and watch me go
Where she stops nobody knows
