I think I’d better go to bed. After reporting a few rogue posts about my stepsmothering skills.

Honeyroar · 18/01/2021 22:39

Oh it posted the link not the picture!

@CoffeeBeansGalore

There's a sex board? Shock
Yes, coffee. I did exactly the same post with the shocked face.

A fellow mner very kindly linked it for me, so I went over and had a look. I left VERY quickly and have never ventured back.
The only thread I can remember reading was detailed instructions of how to sit on your partners face.
Several of the contributors were male.

Those boards are not for me!

Interested in this thread?

Hello Steve 👋

How are you? We’ve been worried about you.

FlouncingBabooshka · 18/01/2021 23:52

The first one isn’t What’s Going On but I can see why you thought that.

Rags to riches or so they say
Ya gotta keep pushin' for the fortune and fame
You know it's all a gamble when it's just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doin' the time

In the wilds of Borneo
And the vineyards of Bordeaux
Eskimo, Arapaho
Move their body to and fro.
70s

Well you're the real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me
That's okay, let's see how you do it
Put up you dukes, let's get down to it

Love that song. Thank you, coffee

There is always something we can blame
But in the end, it's just the same
Suddenly, you find yourself alone

CoffeeBeansGalore · 19/01/2021 17:23

Correct to Iggy Pop and Guns n Roses. Well done 👍😊

Another verse of my outstanding one

Well you're the real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me
That's okay, let's see how you do it
Put up you dukes, let's get down to
---------
You come on with it, come on
You don't fight fair
But that's okay, see if I care
Knock me down, it's all in vain
I get right back on my feet again
80s

Fleamaker123 · 19/01/2021 17:33

No NeedToKnow101 not Story of the blues
Early 80's though, more Latiny/salsary 😊

CoffeeBeansGalore · 19/01/2021 17:41

There is always something we can blame
But in the end, it's just the same
Suddenly, you find yourself alone

Is it a Gloria Estefan song?

No... They had a few hits in the 80's, their female singer sang this one, their style was latiny, very upbeat. One of those groups you have to be reminded of!
NeedToKnow101 · 19/01/2021 17:58

Is it Modern Romance, or Miami Sound Machine?
Can't be Kid Creole and the Coconuts? They're always in my thoughts (hyperbole).
