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

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Yayyy, welcome back *@NeedToKnow101*

Thanks for caring @CoffeeBeansGalore - I just don't know if you caring is enough for me.. . #MurderedByMyMusic Mates..

Hard to flounce when you know it's true, eh!

Still casting aspersions on my sobriety @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf? A classic populist technique - accusing your opponents of things you’re doing yourself.

Straight out of the Trump playbook.

Do I detect the whiff of cheap cooking sherry?

Morning all.

What happened last night?

So, it turns out mnhq takes a VERY dim view of the muder of other mners. Breaks talk guidelines, blah, blah, blah. I never saw it written there, but apparently...

Anyway needtoknow seems to be fine, so no real harm done, luckily.
I'm sure those broken bones will heal in no time.

Anyway, back to the music

(Tumbleweed)

FlouncingB, you're slurring again

I'm surprised they've let you keep your phone in your cell ShelfElf...

Don't know where you are going
Only know where you have been

To prevent future incidents I bring not only lyrics but gifts

@midgebabe

To prevent future incidents I bring not only lyrics but gifts

Yes if only that had been there yesterday I wouldn't be tapping this out with my nose... ouch!

80s
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting

(Or not - as it happened).

Ah well at least the streets will be a safer place with that dangerous Elf put away. I hear there was a dramatic police chase but her Reliant Robin didn't stand a chance.

Time after time,cindynlauper ?

@midgebabe

Time after time,cindynlauper ?

Correct!! 👃🏼

They've let me keep my phone. Prison's quite nice, actually. Warmer than my house and a big flat-screen tv. Some of my fellow inmates are rough as arseholes and dodgy as fuck.
But no worse than you lot, so it's all right really

The police took a very dim view of the coolness ladder. Something about breaking social distancing. But I explained how the rungs are well spaced and how we were only there to support our fragile mental health.

They took a look at some of your posts and completely understood.

I heard them muttering something about "mismatched bunch of social lepers" as they left

I can’t believe your misbehaviour got the whole of Mumsnet shut down until the police came! You need a murderous new username!

These are themed around the shelf elf -

If you think you’re getting away
I will prove you wrong
I’ll take you all the way
Boy just come along
(90s)

This ones for Needtoknow

She’s a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
Shes a good girl, crazy ‘bout Elvis
Loves horses and her girlfriend too
(80s?)

Ha ha.

The second one is free falling. Tom petty

Oh! The top one is murder on the dance floor. Sophie Ellis bextor.

Nice!

Morning all

I wondered why mn crashed!

Following the theme

Qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-far better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ce que j'ai fais, ce soir la
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir la
Realisant mon espoir
Je me lance, vers la gloire, OK
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they're not polite

70s

Here's a couple for you ShelfElf

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire
70s

I found a picture of you, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
Well it hijacked my world at night
To a place in the past we've been cast out of, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
Now we're back in the fight
80s

Anyway must stop entertaining her. Her ego will be through the (jail) roof at the thought that she brought MN to a standstill while I lay broken on the floor.

Lol @CoffeeBeansGalore - same song! Morning! I'm ok thanks all for asking... (more tumbleweed). Getting used to tapping away with my nose.

@midgebabe

Don't know where you are going Only know where you have been 69

This sounds like Road to Nowhere Talking Heads but it wasn't 1969

And morning everyone

@NeedToKnow101 Glad you are ok! Sending over soft bendy straws & home baking xx

Another one on this 'theme'

Tonight there's gonna be trouble
Some of us won't survive
See the boys and me mean business
Busting out dead or alive

70s

Although perhaps I shouldn't encourage her

See what you mean shiny, and you are right, you are wrong
