@NeedToKnow101

'Ooh, speaking of wine, surely the sun must be over the yardarm by now?

Could someone pass me a top-up please?'

Have some lime-infused vodka @FlouncingBabooshka .. it'll hit the spot pretty quick ..

I would advise all of you to be quite wary of this. Needtoknow's been talking about it at least since Christmas and the bottle doesn't seem to be getting much emptier.

I suspect it's pretty lethal stuff.

Still, probably just a warm up for our Babooshka

FlouncingBabooshka · 18/01/2021 17:28

Thank you for the wine and martinis Honey and Coffee. A little hair of the dog was just what I needed...yes Rogue, H from Steps is down there standing by bless him - in fact, weirdly, I seem to see two Hs from Steps...I wonder why?

Lime infused vodka you say Needtoknow? Thank you, maybe just a small one - just to be polite you understand.

Is someone shaking Wobbly Heights? Rogue?

Rogue, why would you do that?
Rogue, please stop, this isn’t funny anymore!

Oh dear!
Oh no!
Look out below!
Aargh......

Ouch.

Sorry H.
Are you ok H?
H, speak to me!
H..?
H..?

Hum should I swap the bouldering mats for trampolines? Would make getting knocked off so much fun!

I was nowhere near sidles hastily further away looking panicked

MNerGoneRogue · 18/01/2021 17:35

Good idea midge

MNerGoneRogue · 18/01/2021 17:36

Hands round more bubble wrap.

Quick before mnhq tells me off again

NeedToKnow101 · 18/01/2021 17:41

@MNerGoneRogue

All correct honey and needtoknow.

Honey, so now you know it's run dmc can you get the first sing? I know it's tricky.

LOL... it's Tricky..
NeedToKnow101 · 18/01/2021 17:44

All this ladder talk is quite triggering for me. Although I think the trampoline could mitigate that. Anyone got any Tena lady? Swap some for Lime-infused moonshine, I mean vodka.

Honeyroar · 18/01/2021 19:48

Have you tried that vodka yet?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/01/2021 20:21

When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
80s

Broken wings.

Can't remember who sang it

MNerGoneRogue · 18/01/2021 20:25

@Honeyroar

Have you tried that vodka yet?
I think she's passed out. I can hear snoring.

Shame needtoknow didn't construct a bar up the top before she was pushed decided to jump off.

My hopes of pantry doing it are not high. Too cool for school that one (geddit!)

MNerGoneRogue · 18/01/2021 20:26

Aha, needtoknow, you saw through my devilishly difficult subtle clue there. Well done!

Honeyroar · 18/01/2021 20:42

Broken wings was Mister Mister

Honeyroar · 18/01/2021 20:43

I went out so didn’t see the really tough clue until about five minutes after Needtoknow guessed it.

Honeyroar · 18/01/2021 20:45

If I ever get up wobbling heights im attaching one of the defunct slide rafts from the 747s that were sacked with me.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/01/2021 20:49

Correct to Mister Mister Broken Wings 😊

They'd be everso useful roaring monster.

You'd better get cracking practicing your baking then, honey pie; cos you've pipped me too many times to stand a hope of getting so much as a sniff of the lowest rungs otherwise

midgebabe · 18/01/2021 21:14

I find out everybody knows
You've been using me
80s
Not an accusation at anyone at all

Honeyroar · 18/01/2021 21:21

@midgebabe i think that’s the Beegees - You win again.

midgebabe · 18/01/2021 21:22

I think you are right
Trying to motivate myself to do an interesting batch of lyrics but back stuck in the work eat sleep routine ( with extra eating )

FlouncingBabooshka · 18/01/2021 21:23

Here’s a few specially picked for poor H 😢

80s
There's so many fish in the sea
That only rise up on the sweat and smoke of mercury

80s
Uptown their sound
It's like the native
you send her
Junktion, funktion
The boy with pop is slender

90s
You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
The words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you

80s
Do you really think
She'll pull through

Honeyroar · 18/01/2021 21:23

Can I push my spellcheck off Wobbly Heights? It changes everything I write to gobbledegook nowadays (although amuses me that it suggests Needtoknow and Coffeebeansgore as words now).

Honeyroar · 18/01/2021 21:24

I’m eating so much Midge it’s ridiculous! It doesn’t help that I’m learning to bake so having to try things!😃
