NeedToKnow101 · 25/01/2021 18:30

90s.. slightly on a theme with my previous one..

Guys you know you'd better watch out
Some girls, some girls are only about

FlouncingBabooshka · 25/01/2021 18:30

Out of the blue, I remembered this song:

so tell your angry friends
To throw away their Gaultier and grow their hair again

Late 80s

MNerGoneRogue · 25/01/2021 18:58

Can't

MNerGoneRogue · 25/01/2021 18:59

Also laughing at the irony! Grin

Honeyroar · 25/01/2021 19:08

Sorry I said your favourite song was a bit boring. My best friend in the 80s loved it though.

Honeyroar · 25/01/2021 19:13

Oh and while we’re on about cutest pets catagory, can I remind you that one of my horses has a very thread relevant name and my big dog came from a Mumsnet thread. Gotta be worth extra points!

Honeyroar · 25/01/2021 19:16

And Happy Burns night @CoffeeBeansGalore hope you’re having a wee dram.

NeedToKnow101 · 25/01/2021 19:19

@MNerGoneRogue

Can't
You got the song.. (well not the bit in brackets), but who is the artist? 🧐
CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/01/2021 19:20

Thank you Honey. Actually no, can't stand whiskey! (And totally against tradition had roast chicken for dinner 😁).

This ones for @FlouncingBabooshka ..

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
