Apologies if I have missed anyone. Let me know if you spot any omissions

Isn't it just! I have been with children 24 hours a day since all this started.

Well that exudes a lot!

Honeyroar, serious question, do you have to sign a confidentiality agreement doing that job??

With regards to famous people I mean x

@Honeyroar

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.🤪

I spent Xmas in Tobago once, in a regular house, rather than a hotel. On Xmas morning a jazz band went round all the houses.. we got the Pink Panther theme tune - it was so cool.

That sounds fun Needtoknow. I once spent a Xmas trip in Ghana. It’s right on the equator and always boiling. The (lovely) hotel dragged us in from the pool at midday to listen to their carolling and drink piping hot mulled wine. I thought I was going to combust!

No Flea we never had to sign anything (the only time I ever remember doing anything like that was when they trained us on the first lie flat business class seats probably 20 yrs ago). But you’d have really got into trouble for being indiscreet. Back when I started you weren’t allowed through the curtains to first class without a really good reason. In the last few years they’d created a new fleet of crew, all very young, and had a bit of trouble with them taking photos! I guess there was no social media when I started, so our blips were kept to oyeselves!

That's fascinating Honeyroar. Yes, no social media or phones in our day was there! We'll just have to wait to read your memoirs 😁

I bloody hope not, flea. She's forever name dropping on here

(I have no shame😄)

SO !!!! Stupid phone.

@Honeyroar

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

This would be SO much sodding easier if it wasn't for that bloody Honey woman... She's lucky I'm all heart.... I'm all give, give give, she's all take, take, take. With her bloody 'oh, I used to point out the exits to famous people' blah blah blah and the rest of them just lapping it up

Hello @Willow2017 not seen you for ages !! Hope you are ok

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

And when I went to the girl, come on and teach me to sway She laughed and whispered to me, yes come tonight to the bay 80s

Agadoo, Black Lace, got by Flea (who has moved WAAAAY down the 'coolness' ladder)

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

I don't want him Couldn't stand him He was no good so I (hahahaha) 90s

Macarana got by Xsquared (who has also somewhat slipped in the coolness stakes)

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

The soldier blues were trapped on a hillside The battle raging all around The sergeant cried, We've got to hang on, boys! We've got to hold this piece of ground I need a volunteer to ride up And bring us back some extra men 70s

Billy Don't be a Hero, got by FlouncingB (lovely lady, but never especially high in the coolness division even before now)

shinynewapple2020
Fine thanks. Hope you and yours are too.

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

Do you play with the girls, play with the boys? Do you ever get lonely playing with your toys? We can talk, we can sing I'll be the queen and you'll be the king Hey boy in your tree Throw down your ladder make a room for me I've got a house with windows and doors I'll show you mine, you show me yours 90s

C'est La Vie by B*witched. Xsquared so low on the coolness ladder... right down in the cellar!

[not only uncool - at least had the grace to insert a blushing emoji - BUT also a point deducted for spelling B*witched wrong.]

@CoffeeBeansGalore

His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun But all he had come for was having some fun

Cotton eye Joe

coffee is correct. Unfortunately, Coffee has a coolness none of us can displace. It's just by being the OP and general referree.

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Wild stab in the dark

Come jump in, bimbo friend, let us do it again
Hit the town, fool around, let's go party
90s

Aqua, Barbie Girl?

This is correct. NOT Alright by Supergrass, which is what xsquared guessed (although, to be fair, that guess kept me entertained for quite some time!)

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

A love we always share At party time and Christmas too We know that she'll be there 80s, I think, but it must've been very early 80s. Has a very 70s vibe to me

Grandma we love you by the St Winifred's girls school choir guessed by shiny. Who ACTUALLY doesn't lose coolness points, because I think this song has been on these threads at least twice, and perhaps shiny just had a really good memory???

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

AM, FM, all that jazz We'd rather sing along with Yazz What happened to the radio? They never play the songs we know 80s

So this one still to be got. I don't think this one is too, too hard. Do you want more lyrics?

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

Course you are, don't question me. I'm a Superstar Par excellance, heavy on style I'm your main man, 80s

And this one. To be fair, this one is quite hard. Although if you're my age or thereabouts, you'll DEFINITELY have heard it (although perhaps done your best to erase the memory).

It is so monumentally awful, that anyone getting it from this will earn 100 (yes, you read that right, 100) bonus points and our grudging respect.

I will post more lyrics if needed.

Ha ha ha ha ha.
I've just realized how needtoknow is going to absolutely combust once she realizes there a coolness ladder for her to go up or down! I'm typing this laughing!

Hello, Willow. Lovely to see you back.
