Yes, got it Honeyroar and close Coffee

I know all the words to it

Honeyroar · 24/12/2020 20:32

I probably do too! I used to be able to belt it out with my best friend, we were living in Italy at the time and it baffled the locals!

Honeyroar · 24/12/2020 20:33

It’s a clever song. He could do a part two by now.

@Honeyroar off you go then: Einstein.....!

There are several spoof versions, I wonder if anybody has done a 2020 one.

Sorry to be late to post. Busy day!

Happy birthday @CrepuscularCritter. Hope you and flouncingB both had a lovely day. What did you get????

Glad your SIL might be recovering midge.

Steve, all the best to you, sweetheart. Good luck with your treatment. 🤞

To everyone on this thread. Happy Christmas. Hope you/we all have a nice day tomorrow.
And thank you to everyone. You have all literally helped keep me sane. During this horrendous year, these threads have given me joy, fun, pleasure, something to look forward to, enjoy. Collectively, this has been a genuine ray of light. I know I'm jokey and silly and sarky and rude. But a genuine thank you to you all. Hugs n love, and thank you so much for being here x 💓

CoffeeBeansGalore · 24/12/2020 20:52

Aw little shelf elf you just made me all teary! This is a lovely thread full of lovely people. Long may it continue!xx🥂

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 24/12/2020 21:39

I am completely committed oh vile honey that my next name will be something to crush you and that you cannot do change, shorten or bastardise. I have not forgiven you for "sock" and never will. AND you made the rest of them join in. And you've done it again with this name

Honeyroar · 24/12/2020 21:49

Well that sweetness was short lived!🤣

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 24/12/2020 22:08

Pleased to oblige (love you really)

shinynewapple2020 · 24/12/2020 22:28

Amazing it's your birthday too@CrepuscularCritter
And good news about your appointment @WhipperSnapperSteve

You are all so funny with your banter Xmas SmileXmas Grin.
I hope you all have a brilliant day tomorrow 🎄⭐️💕

shinynewapple2020 · 24/12/2020 22:44

I actually meant to wish @CrepuscularCritter happy birthday in the message above !

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 24/12/2020 23:12

Some of us are more funny and have wittier banter than others, shiny. But you have to play with what you've got 🤷‍♀️

FlouncingBabooshka · 25/12/2020 00:49

Belated happy birthday to you @CrepuscularCritter - maybe we were separated at birth..? 🤔🤔🤔

Merry Christmas one and all. Thanks for the company and the laughs, I’m so glad I stumbled on this thread.

Best of luck for NYE @WhipperSnapperSteve - we’ll all be sending positive thoughts - or possibly inebriated thoughts - your way. And a happy birthday in advance in case you’re otherwise engaged on Boxing Day.

And here’s a little lyric for all of you, but especially for the little Christmas ElfShelf (sorry, I’m easily led Xmas Grin) as I know how much she loves a Christmas song. 😉 This isn’t the most well known Christmas song, but the singer is mega famous:

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen
Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon
Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen
Carter, Raegan, Bush, and Clinton

Wow, thread 18 !!! Thank you for starting a new thread @CoffeeBeansGalore 🙂.

Sorry I’ve not been on much lately. Work is tiring me out and I keep nodding off ( not at work, thankfully).
Will catch up when I can.

Oh, and Merry Christmas 🌲🌲🌲
