How about funniest poster? You lot have actually made me laugh out loud. "Wobbling Heights" was brilliant.
Was that honey?

Although, if I don't win for "the rest of us were wishing you'd put pants on first" it'll be a travesty

@midgebabe

Yeah made it Slightly breathless

Partly because this has just been on radio
70s

All the times when we were close
I remember these things the most

In your excitement this has been ignored

80’s.......

Honeyroar · 25/01/2021 10:28

@farnworth could you possibly add another line - it rings a bell but I can’t quite get it!

Honeyroar · 25/01/2021 12:48

That’s it Flea! But of a one hit wonder, weren’t they?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/01/2021 13:12

Did they sound similar to the band that did Pretty in Pink?

OP posts:
Honeyroar · 25/01/2021 13:33

No it was quite a somber (boring?) pop group. Pretty in pink is a great song imo!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/01/2021 13:39

Thanks Honey

Ha, Pretty in Pink by the wonderful Psychedelic Furs, is another of my favourite songs, but this one, “You must be out of your brilliant mind”, is easily my favourite. Always worth listening to!!
This is the band’s biggest hit but they did have other songs that had a little success.
Group’s name - to help you guess....single word, very everyday word........ we all have some in our homes........

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/01/2021 14:49

Sorry Farnworth, I can hear the song but haven't a clue on band name. Someone will get it later!

Fleamaker123 · 25/01/2021 16:35

It's not coming to me Farnworth 🤔

Fleamaker123 · 25/01/2021 16:37

But maybe someday when my ship comes in

80's

Fleamaker123 · 25/01/2021 17:28

Correct Midgebabe 😀

FlouncingBabooshka · 25/01/2021 18:22

Far worth, Brilliant Mind was by Furniture.

Hello everyone.

FlouncingBabooshka · 25/01/2021 18:23

Farnworth- sorry autocorrect...
