The song isn't unbelievable is it???

NeedToKnow101 · 23/01/2021 10:12

Talking if boilers..

80s
Just because the kid's an orphan
Is no excuse for thoughtless slaying
People don't forget this torture
Just because you call her mother
Doesn't mean that she's your better

That's good news about your boiler, because I actually can't knit

Nope! The famous two from the band were brilliant on Celebrity Gogglebox fairly recently. You could just give up and wait for someone else to guess it....

You weren't gonna attempt to knit me a boiler were you? That's not a beginners project.

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 10:15

There's a scar record called something like an old boiler. It's not that is it?

Really horrible song. I had it on a cassette I used to listen to all the time, but I used to skip that track (which was luckily the last song on side 2). She gets raped and the song ends in a scream

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 10:16

Sorry x posted with a lot of posts there

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 10:16

Happy Mondays?

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 10:17

I don't watch Gogglebox, with or without celebrities

MNerGoneRogue · 23/01/2021 10:19

No, a knitted boiler definitely beyond my capabilities, but i thought I might manage a string vest.
Or, at least, string

That's the Boiler by Special AKA. It's a really upsetting song , and no it's not that.

The great philosopher one is Ebenezer Goode by the Shamen.

(still laughing at Lady Marmalade, coffee and honey!)

Honeyroar · 23/01/2021 11:43

shinynewapple2021 · 23/01/2021 12:37

Hi darlin'! how's the weather?
Say baby, is that cold better now?
Oh I'm sorry, is there someone there with you ?

@shinynewapple2021 Clouds across the Moon by something band! I should know, we’ve had it before but I can’t remember! Enjoy the snow.

Honeyroar · 23/01/2021 12:45

😛 @CoffeeBeansGalore

CoffeeBeansGalore · 23/01/2021 12:47

Great minds Honey 😁.

@NeedToKnow101 sounds more like your control box than the boiler itself. Or sticky valves can cause that as well.

Honeyroar · 23/01/2021 12:53

Would’ve got that Coffee if I hadn’t been chatty!

shinynewapple2021 · 23/01/2021 13:05

Yes to the Rah Band Coffee and Honey.

A song i'd completely forgotten existed, until I read a line in a book yesterday about clouds across the moon and I thought 'ooh forgotten song there'. Obviously not so forgotten to everyone else Grin
