@Honeyroar

Your theme is your usual Friday night bedtime ear wigs, isn’t it?
😂😂😂 I just couldn't think of any words so thought meaningless sounds was a good theme! the bop bop bop one is a very popular 80s band that you all know. 😂

@Honeyroar

You obviously have the same spellcheck as me! Why it has to change a perfectly normal word into something that isn’t a word is beyond me!

I’ve never met anyone that lives with a chef who cooks at home! They must be fickle creatures. 👩🏻‍🍳

😂😂 who knows?!

I'm quite lucky as he does cook at home, it's just he's lost his va-va-voom and won't make anything special any more, like creme brûlée or langoustine custard.

Honeyroar · 22/01/2021 22:46

Perhaps he’s got the winter blues too. Ask him
If he wants to come and make toasties in a horse trailer in the Pennines!

What’s langoustine custard? Sounds lovely.

It does sound nice but I made it up 😂😘..
I'll send him up now. Send your DH down to me.. he can sort my boiler out 😍

Honeyroar · 22/01/2021 22:58

That sounds like a reasonable swop.

NeedToKnow101 · 22/01/2021 23:05

@Honeyroar

That sounds like a reasonable swop.

Cool. Shall we say 5 days or a full week?

Here’s one for you before I go off to bed -

Those games you play
They’re gonna end in more than tears someday

I don't know.. . I'm rubbish at guessing, you must know that by now. Night night Honey not Homey ..

@NeedToKnow101

Yippee-ippee-ey-ey-ay-yey-yey 90s

Extra point for my theme.

If it was 70s, this would be lady marmalade.

I can hear the 90s song in my head.

Def brit pop. Some northern band. Too drunk to think!

MNerGoneRogue · 22/01/2021 23:26

Night all 😘😘😘💕

Honeyroar · 22/01/2021 23:27

There was a 90s lady marmalade too Rogue. Christina Aguillera and some others did it.

Night night all. And it's not Lady Marmalade, Coffee and Honey.

Blimey sounds like breakfast. See you in the morning..😘
Rogue, yer nearly there...

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 00:18

I know it's not lady marmalade. I know it's brit pop.
Male voice.

I'll be back...

(Can't believe everyone's faded. I'm only just getting ready to rejoin the human race)

Yippee-ippee-ey-ey-ay-yey-yey 90s

Extra point for my theme.

Dammit. Woken up no closer. Hoped it would come to me in the night. I can SEE the singer and still not sure of the band. Dammit.

Could someone please get this and put me out of my misery

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 09:17

Is that Ebenezer good, Steve?

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 09:30

Are you warm this morning needtoknow? Or do we need to be knitting you thermal vests?
(Mind you, I've heard it can get quite parky at the top of wobbling heights. I wouldn't know as I've never been up there myself, and needtoknow has never complained).

It's pretty icy where I am, and I live around an hour away from London

NeedToKnow101 · 23/01/2021 09:50

@MNerGoneRogue - here's another lime, I mean line.. HTH

Yippee-ippee-ey-ey-ay-yey-yey

Is the band ELM?

I'm fine thanks Rogue. No need to knit me a vest. Boiler is sort of working. It's just gone rogue like the car in Christine. Goes on and off when it wants.

Nope!

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 10:11

Are you on the lime vodka already, needtoknow?

I mean, I know you have to keep warm somehow, but I don't think even FlouncingB starts the hard stuff at 10am
