@dexterslockedintheshedagain

I'll try to be more timely in future. Good work everyone! New to this I am.
We’ve all gone a bit off piste tonight but it it’s normally a fun, friendly thread and you’re very welcome. 🙂

@midgedude

Billy yes

And which question?

And given that the name id bully not Lola or Tiffany , perhaps a few more lyrics become clear ?

The name you should call your child if they are to be a successful 80s musician is in the playlist...

So the answer is Billy?

Honeyroar · 30/01/2021 23:13

I think it’s Amedaeus

Ah so one's a Billy Ocean song.. Billy Joel and Bill Wyman have been got already..

midgedude · 30/01/2021 23:14

It regularly goes off piste ...

MNerGoneRogue · 30/01/2021 23:14

I think it's becoming increasingly obvious that midge's IQ is higher than every other one of us on here

Yes. Phew

Do we need to warm dexter about rogues tendencies!

MNerGoneRogue · 30/01/2021 23:17

I'm hurt and insulted, midge

shinynewapple2021 · 30/01/2021 23:17

@midgedude

now, what name should you have given your child if you wanted them to be a musician in the 80's?

some clues
Do you like good music?
Do you like to dance?

And I want you really but the thing
Is there's nothing I can say
To stop you
Darling from running
Running away

You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight
That's your decision but I'm not below

She took off her hat
And she had lovely hair
Said she smoked marijuana
At the Coco Cabana there

So we take each other's hand
Cause we seem to understand the urgency

Aah so Midge you are saying the missing artists here are called Bill or Billy

And Bill Wyman and Billy Joel have been guessed

MNerGoneRogue · 30/01/2021 23:18

You know what we're going to need soon, coffee....

NeedToKnow101 · 30/01/2021 23:18

Not forgetting Billy Ocean, but not the song.

shinynewapple2021 · 30/01/2021 23:19

Is one of them Billy Idol ? (Guesses)

Honeyroar · 30/01/2021 23:20

Just a few health and safety things Dexter (bit like a safety demo).

Ignore 99% of what Rogue posts unless it’s an invite to a party.
Don’t go up any ladders.

Especially without pants.
Don’t be shocked if H from steps wanders around.
Midge baffles everyone most of the time.
There are regular bunfights.
Everyone is nicer than they seem.

midgedude · 30/01/2021 23:20

Hurt and insulted?

Well perhaps you would like to explain how you can by your username?

Dexter, she is mostly safe , but we do provide bouldering mats, hard hats and a first aid kit ...

NeedToKnow101 · 30/01/2021 23:21

I think it's now the time to say I posted some spanking lyrics yesterday and only 1, yes 1, of them was guessed correctly.

I'll revive them tomorrow..

You and Honey are gonna scare her away before she's even sat down.

I imagine you saying that whilst pointing out the exits, honey
Honeyroar · 30/01/2021 23:25

Where did Babooshka go? Still playing chess? One night in Bangkok?

Sorry Midge - didn’t mean to hurt/insult you, if that’s me you meant?

Honeyroar · 30/01/2021 23:26

Two at the rear of first class, then one at the front and rear of all other cabins and one in the middle of the upper deck...

NeedToKnow101 · 30/01/2021 23:28

I could actually imagine us as a musical. 80s song lyrics thread the Musical. We have a setting, a villain and a song list already. All we need is Andrew Lloyd-Webber.

MNerGoneRogue · 30/01/2021 23:29

Drunken stupor honey

NeedToKnow101 · 30/01/2021 23:30

I've never flown first class, or even premium economy. Would love to. DP got upgraded once; he still bangs on about it.

It's that bloody lime vodka.
