The 90s one is fall at your feet. Crowded house

The first one is mercy mercy me is it?

NeedToKnow101 · 18/01/2021 21:29

@Honeyroar

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).

I like your spellcheck Honey 😍

Isn't not is.

I'm really not sure that's right.

The other two are bugging me, but I can't get them

NeedToKnow101 · 18/01/2021 21:31

@MNerGoneRogue

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

Mwahahahahahaha

MNerGoneRogue · 18/01/2021 21:31

I've put on sooooo much weight since March. And I wasn't blooming small before sighs

Oh yeah by Marvin Gaye. Love that song. God I'm such a half-point princess.

Bit sleepy night go bed zzz

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/01/2021 21:38

Awww, I'm on someone's suggested words 💕

Up where the mountains meet the Heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there is someone, somewhere
Watching me
80s

I also like Honey's spellchecker. (A) it gives me a false sense of superiority and (B) distracts a bit from my perectly adequate spellchecker, but which is sadly no match for my drunken typing.

Honeyroar · 18/01/2021 21:44

My evil spellchecker has just made me a liar by changing coffeebeansgalore to coffeebeansGORE - perhaps it knows who’s next to fall from Wobbly Heights? It’s also sending my stepson to Mexico!!

Honeyroar · 18/01/2021 21:45

Oh Coffeegore that’s Holding out for a hero - Bonnie Tyler.

You better watch that Honey. Definitely evil. The Chucky of spellcheckers. Don't sleep with it on your bedside table..
CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/01/2021 21:50

Correct Honey 👍😊

I think it’s been tampered with by a rogue, don’t you?

NeedToKnow101 · 18/01/2021 22:03

@Honeyroar

I think it’s been tampered with by a rogue, don’t you?

Almost definitely.

MNerGoneRogue · 18/01/2021 22:06

My good name is being besmirched.

Or is it bismirched?

Check it for me would you, honey?

Honeyroar · 18/01/2021 22:12

Love that word! My spellcheck says it’s Besmurfed.

MNerGoneRogue · 18/01/2021 22:14

Thank you Honey's spellchecker.

I shall use besmurfed henceforth and for ever after.

Honeyroar · 18/01/2021 22:17

I’m just amazed I’ve not been publicly flogged on Mumsnet for being “one of those” wicked stepmothers that bundle their stepchildren off to Mexico.

MNerGoneRogue · 18/01/2021 22:26

We've started threads about you honey pie.

You're being besmurfed all over mn.

You're on the step parenting board, the parenting hoard, relationships, aibu, education.
I think putting you on the sex board with your phone number was a bit much, but you know what coffee's like

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/01/2021 22:26

Honey, your un is in honour of your previous beautiful ddogs. I wouldn't dream of flogging a lovely fellow dog lover 😙

OP posts:
CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/01/2021 22:28

On the other hand Rogue thinks nothing of besmurfing any of us . . . .

CoffeeBeansGalore · 18/01/2021 22:30

There's a sex board? Shock

MNerGoneRogue · 18/01/2021 22:34

My uns are in honour of our beautiful threads but I'm besmurfed regularly
