I’ve watched you dance with danger
Still wanting more
Add another number to the score

Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh, baby, I reconsider my foolish notion
Well, I need someone to hold me but I'll wait for somethin' more

Sorry, not been on much today.

But just wanted to add my 💕💕❤ to Honey's tale

JUST SAYING WHAT THE REST OF YOU ARE THINKING!!!!

Honeyroar · 28/01/2021 19:28

Ooooh, a duck house??🤔🤔 Could I really? I like ducks.

MNerGoneRogue · 28/01/2021 19:52

Well, you are quackers. Arf arf!

Is there a funniest poster category.

Honeyroar · 28/01/2021 20:02

Just done my votes. I just used the list someone posted a few pages ago - was that the right categories?

I think we need to ditch the Kate Bush Fan and Met the Most famous people categories next time - not enough competition, so not a fair trophy race! .

Honeyroar · 28/01/2021 20:03

Bowls of rage 🤣🤣🤣 Id written howls! Could we have a worst typo/spellcheck category??

@Fleamaker123 correct to George Michael 👍😊

Thank you for your ideas Honey. Next time we will have a juggle. However if you would care to entertain with a few more famous tales in the meantime . . . . 😁

😂😂 I like bowls of rage... I imagine some really angry pot-pourri.. maybe it's angry at having to live on the lid of a cistern, next to a knitted dolly toilet-roll holder.

MNerGoneRogue · 28/01/2021 20:29

🤣🤣🤣🤣 bowls.

I read it as bowels to rhyme with howls

Too sad even to flounce. Those are the only categories I stand a chance of winning. Especially as I’ve since remembered more famous people I forgot to mention I’d met last time.

Could we do an award for the poster who has made the biggest fool of themselves in front of a very famous music industry figure? I’d definitely win that one.. .except I can’t really prove it by telling the story because it’s too outing.

Maybe we could have a lifetime achievement award like at the Oscars - an award for someone who stands no chance of getting a proper award for something they’ve done so they get that as a booby prize?

Honeyroar · 28/01/2021 20:37

I’d get a booby prize- my boobs are huge!

I thought I’d written bowels of rage too! Could be a future username for you Rogue...

We need some new imaginative catagories.

NeedToKnow101 · 28/01/2021 20:38

Best typo award?

MNerGoneRogue · 28/01/2021 20:45

I asked that bitch coffee to do a best keeper of spreadsheets award WAY in advance of nominations being announced, but I see it didn't make the shortlist.

Honeyroar · 28/01/2021 20:47

A future catagory could be who gets the most abuse from Rogue. I think coffee and I would have to duel for that one.

Unfairly, my boobs are the ONLY part of me that hasn't expanded in lockdown. Life is soooooooooo unfaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiir

I think needtoknow could put up a good argument for it being her.
