You look at me and you see your past Is that the reason why you’re running so fast? (80s)

I was just about to say that unless it's faux-Latino eighties I'm just not interested... but looks like it is! 🤣

NeedToKnow101 · 19/01/2021 21:18

This ones for the rogue smurf (who has been using my spellcheck tonight, I think)

Time has gone since I’ve been with you
And we’ve been starting to die
Now it seems you don’t care for me
And I don’t understand why
(80s)

Honeyroar · 19/01/2021 21:24

Yes Midge to Abracadabra
Yes to Needtoknow for Stool pigeon (extra point for the cha cha cha, I nearly asked for that, you read my mind) and a point to Midge for the group.

NeedToKnow101 · 19/01/2021 21:26

Thanks Honey! 😘

Take a look at me
See, I couldn't look no better
Girl, I'm at my peak
And that's a fact, that's a fact
80s

NeedToKnow101 · 19/01/2021 21:27

Very diplomatic point-giving btw Honey...

MNerGoneRogue · 19/01/2021 21:29

@midgebabe

Sounds like you need to correct that spreadsheet

Or I will take it off you and set up a proper database , much less prone to errors

SCREAMS IN HORROR!!!!!!

I can't compete with a proper geek.

Midge, you can't take my spreadsheet off me. You can't it's all I've got!!!!
Corona has taken my social life, my figure, my sobriety, my dignity

Honeyroar · 19/01/2021 21:30

I’m a wonderful thing baby - More Kid Creole!

This is break my stride
Honeyroar · 19/01/2021 21:32

I think you should do a proper database Midge. It would be interesting to see the variation between Rogue’s spreadsheets, Coffee’s polls and your database!

MNerGoneRogue · 19/01/2021 21:32

[quote CoffeeBeansGalore]@midgebabe Don't worry, most of the awards are done on votes cast. Much fairer 😁[/quote]
I dispute your authority, coffee. I was grievously robbed at the last awards.
The others don't know, but you know and I know how you didn't count all my votes for me last time

Honeyroar · 19/01/2021 21:33

Yes Rogue shelf but who sang it?

And will you answer your own speshhall lyric question please.

Honeyroar · 19/01/2021 21:35

I don’t care anymore
You can sleep on the floor
Cos I’m knocking you out (!!??)
(80s)

Honeyroar · 19/01/2021 21:37

Oh pretty baby
I’ve never felt such a thrill
It’s hard to tell you
Because I’m trembling still
(70s)

Honeyroar · 19/01/2021 21:38

Ps blame Flea for all of my choices.

Can't think what this is. Has my spelling been terrible? I've not been drinking

(Although I may have poured a small gin now)

Honeyroar · 19/01/2021 21:41

You had three attempts to spell the name of the singer of this song - hence why I thought you had used Chucky the spellcheck..

NeedToKnow101 · 19/01/2021 21:41

I think you should do a proper database Midge. It would be interesting to see the variation between Rogue’s spreadsheets, Coffee’s polls and your database!

And I'll do a map of the UK /crime wall type thing. (I won't really I'm too lazy).
