@midgebabe

Where has your boiler gone? Should I tie mine down? What knots are recommended!

😂😂 just for a walk. What else is it allowed to do? No need for knots @midgebabe .. just staple it to the wall.

Ah.. I haven't got mine fitted for shoes so it stays indoors , warmer for us as all

@Honeyroar

Aw tosser is a bit harsh, she’s not that bad! 😆. Love the name, even if it is very long! Correct for Nik Kershaw.

Oh no Needtoknow! 🥶 🥶.

Thanks @Honeyroar yes it is a bit long, took me a while to type it out.....

Hope you get your boiler sorted quickly @NeedToKnow101

Evening all

Carnage, love it!

I met you in a cave, you were painting buffalo
I said I'd be your slave, follow wherever you go

Thus seems appropriate

I lord I pray
You give me the strength to carry on

Correct Honey 👍😊

Many people tell you that they're your friend
You believe them
You need them
For what's round the river bend
Make sure that you're receiving the signals they send
'Cause brother, you've only got two hands to lend

Do the rules allow me to guess one of my old ones that no one has got ?

It's seems a different story
When it's me who's in the wrong
But you can't have it all
'Cause I'm the one who's strong

More lyrics Clue it's topical

Won't you wait awhile
Move to the blue
Sometimes people don't b want to say
Old time dancers don't die that way

Wet wet wet

Hold back the river

NeedToKnow101 · 22/01/2021 20:53

Thanks for the boiler concern. It's not fully gone, just on the blink. Got a person with a penis coming to fix it on Monday.

On another note; just learning about Anal Jet Propulsion on WinterWatch. Pure filth!!!!!

Correct to Texas. Skin Deep was the film. Song was Falling out of love by Ivan Neville

See how we planned for saddened eyes
And tears to pave the way
I fought the fever as I knew
My hair returned to gray

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Sounds like Fiction Factory - feels like Heaven, though I might be wrong as it’s an 80s song?

Both 80s

Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been

In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really, really ought to know

Evening all. How are we all?

I've had a fucker of a week (workwise) but all done and slowly unwinding now.
No dramatic weather round here. And I appear to be one of the few regulars with fully functioning heating and water frantically touches wood.

How are the rest of you?
Needtoknow, only the smogs of London to keep you warm? I hope you have warm clothing. Thermal vests, bobble hats, fluffy slippers, etc

Happy Friday everyone
