Hello, Willow. Lovely to see you back.
Hi Thanks. As usual i missed luafs i knew!
ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 17:53

There's 2 from me at the bottom of the last page, willow. The theme is atrocious songs

FlouncingBabooshka · 27/12/2020 18:01

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

Rude.

Anyway, @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf. I only knew that uncool song. Looking at your recent posts it seems you are familiar with quite a few more than anyone else on the thread....

My only non-U.K. Christmas was spent in Thailand. They only really celebrated it for the benefit of the tourists but they went to a lot of effort. Loads do the big buildings in the city were decorated all over with lights that looked like ribbons and bows so the entire building would look like a wrapped present. Our hotel had a lovely, very slender, very female Father Christmas in full regalia who spent all Christmas Eve ringing a bell and wishing everyone Happy New Year. It was rather sweet.

Interested in this thread?

If Honey isn't going to name drop then I'll have to follow suit and not name the lovely celebrity I spent the night with and then breakfast and lunch the following day Grin

I've never been abroad at Xmas, at least not as an adult.

Fleamaker123 · 27/12/2020 18:17

Ooh Perdita you can't just tell us that! C'mon a teeny hint please! 😉

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 27/12/2020 18:18

😯😮😲
Spill, spill, spill.

But, oh dear, perdita, the others on here will lynch you. There is a LOT of vying for tenuous connections to celebrities going on. There was even a hotly contested category at the last awards evening.
Is your person someone from the 80s??? Or someone lots of people fancy? I'd quickly don some protective clothing if I were you.
If it was Michael thingy from inxs, leave before they break your legs!

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

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! Grin
Well ShelfElf where to start?! .... As FlouncingB perceptively pointed out, YOU are the poster of many, many shite songs that have sullied these threads, so down the ladder you go.

Whereas I have NEVER posted (well maybe Alexander O'Neal isn't to everyone's taste), or even guessed, a shite song. I'm shite-song free, too cool for school, and sitting comfortably atop the cool ladder. It is a bit cold, wet and windy up here though.. help!

You HAVE to tell us @perditasugarplum - it's illegal not to.
