Spagna was the one with spiky blond hair. Sabrina was the one who spent the entire video lifting her bikini top not so subtlety in a pool.

Hey! Some of my crap ones are still outstanding.

Do you need me to repost? Which is sooooo much harder now they're all up individually

We do, of course, run the risk of putting up a track and having someone come on and say "that was our first dance" or "we buried my mother to that song". But I think it's a risk worth taking (ANYTHING to stop the bloody Christmas songs!).

I was reminded again last night. I think it was right back on thread 1 that I was going to post John Wayne is big leggy by hayzie fantazie, but when I looked at the lyrics, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. That song has NOT aged well!

Dear prudence?

Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 12:17

Do stop glaring @elfy you’ll ruin your eyes and make that frown line bigger. Yes please repost.

NeedToKnow101 · 27/12/2020 12:25

ElfShelf - how dare you insinuate I am meek and will only stand up to you if I've been replaced by an alien. As if that could happen ¥¥ Zeek bop drrrrup drruuup... frup toodup.. %% what a ridiculous suggestion.. back in a bit, just sucking up from that flat thing on the floor, the rest of the strange cream-based alcoholic thing that humans drink, with my smelling nozzle that doubles up as a hoover and portal back to the fifth dimension

(Sorry Blush)

You pull back the curtains
And the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying
Across a clear blue sky

Yes, Dear Prudence, well done.

Fleamaker123 · 27/12/2020 13:14

I think they were going to Barbados ✈️

Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 13:26

They were (on coconut airlines!) and they were Typically Tropical.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 27/12/2020 13:29

Did you ever fly Tropical Airways Honey? Xmas Grin

shinynewapple2020 · 27/12/2020 13:40

Duh I mean Coconut Airways

Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 13:41

No just Bonkers British! But I spent a lot of time on lovely long Caribbean trips when I started out, drank copious amounts of their rum punches and had some crazy times.🤪

shinynewapple2020 · 27/12/2020 13:51

Do you miss it at all or is it one of those things that were of a particular time in your life and things change as you get older ?

This years version is Going to Barrybados....if you can get there! Hmm
shinynewapple2020 · 27/12/2020 14:03

As in Barry in Wales Shock no wonder their Covid cases are high !

Honeyroar · 27/12/2020 14:05

Barrybados!🤣

It was definitely my time to leave, I’d been thinking about it for a couple of years, so it was the push I needed really. And it’s been lovely being home a lot (I’ve never spent more than a week or two continuously with my husband - nice to know we get on), and I’d have been tearing my hair out worrying about mum if I was still flying. But I’ve missed it a fair bit these last few weeks. I think because there have been so many films set in New York and it kicked in that somewhere I used to go nearly every month is now out of reach. I miss the time alone in a nice hotel too! But it’s been nice to be definitely home for Xmas (even if it was cancelled!).

shinynewapple2020 · 27/12/2020 14:13

Yes time alone is a bit of a dream at the moment !
