@shinynewapple2021

She'll be back with a new user name .
How right you are!

Although I notice I'm not the only one with a shiny new name, eh!

We're getting towards the end. Needtoknow won't be able to tidy up at the end of this one. Not with all that plaster and bubble wrap.

Someone else will have to do it.

midgebabe · 16/01/2021 17:21

The should anyone have ideas about pushing people out of the way at any point, purely hypothetical, I also bought some helmets and seagull bashers along with the bouldering mats.

Interested in this thread?

... No I don't think I'll be able to tidy up when only my nose isn't in plaster. And my mouth... thanks for those straws coffee, wine will get me through this.

Outstanding from me:

One lazy afternoon down Savannah way,
They robbed a store, and high-tailed outa that town
Got clean away in a stolen car,
And waited till the heat died down,
60s

One flounce down from the top Babooshka. 🙄

Mutters to everyone else gotta keep her sweet. If she flounces at that height we'll all end up like needtoknow

MNerGoneRogue · 16/01/2021 17:45

Don't worry, needtoknow, the honey monster and I can leave everyone's crap and litter lying around tidy up the end of the thread.
I think we made a very good job last time we did it 🏅

MNerGoneRogue · 16/01/2021 17:45

Coffee, that sounds like it should be about bonnie and Clyde or something????

MNerGoneRogue · 16/01/2021 17:46

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Well Rogue I think you should be first in line to volunteer, yes?
I offered!!!!
MNerGoneRogue · 16/01/2021 17:47

I notice needtoknow has spent the whole day stuffing your baked goods.
Other people might have offered them around...

CoffeeBeansGalore · 16/01/2021 17:48

Correct @MNerGoneRogue The Ballad of Bonnie & Clyde by Georgie Fame

MNerGoneRogue · 16/01/2021 17:49

Shock Shock Shock
I don't know the song 🤣

I just thought it sounded like bonnie and clyde

MNerGoneRogue · 16/01/2021 17:50

If there's a luckiest guess trophy come awards night, looks like it'll be coming my way!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 16/01/2021 17:52

I think ntk101 will find it hard to hand anything round . . . .

I'll send some more up the ladder later. Choc chunk cookies ok?

@Honeyroar

Another one themed for last night

Exactly the same clean room
Exactly the same clean bed
But I’ve stayed away too long this time
And I’ve got too big to fit this time.
(80s)

This is still outstanding.
Honeyroar · 16/01/2021 18:22

@Honeyroar

I’m the living result A man who’s been hurt a little too much And I’ve tasted the bitterness of my own tears Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel (80s?)
So is this.

Err why am I being volunteered to clean up. ‘Twas the Rogue that caused all the chaos last night.

Coffee can you teach me to bake please? I need to become a master baker in a few short weeks.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 16/01/2021 18:23

Honey, what do you need to make?

OP posts:
MNerGoneRogue · 16/01/2021 18:36

I know the first one but can't think. Give me a minute.

Second one is elvis costello. Give me a second to sing it through

MNerGoneRogue · 16/01/2021 18:37

I can't stand up for falling down!!

Got it the second I hit 'post'!

MNerGoneRogue · 16/01/2021 18:38

The cure! The cure the cure!!!!!!!

Push

NeedToKnow101 · 16/01/2021 18:48

I'm finding it heartwarming that my attempted murder has been such a source of lyrical inspiration.

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Early 00s

Honeyroar · 16/01/2021 19:02

Jealousy - not sure who sang it!

Correct with both Rogue.

Coffee I have a thought of converting my horse trailer into a kiosk selling coffee, hot paninis, soup and cakes to the millions of walkers that pass regularly. While I’m an ok cook I’m not a baker, so have decided I need to learn while furloughed! A decent flapjack, brownie and cupcake would be a start!
