Anyway now a lot of people are around I’m flogging this one that drove me mad all afternoon one last time!

Very well known 80s group

Your face is hidden and we’re out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere
The stranger in the door is the same as before
And the questions answers nowhere

I stand still stepping on the shady street
And I watch that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn out the light
Now the room is lit, red danger

New Life, Depeche Mode?

Yes! Was it the last two words that gave it away?😂

Funnily enough, it was! As soon as I saw them, the song popped into my head-wouldn't have got it without them

Sorry to have missed Do Anything You Wanna Do. I once saw the Rods twice in a week: first time packed, second, tumbleweed.

Good luck with the self-isolation. DH had to do it last week and he found it a bit odd. Not that he normally goes anywhere but work and caring for his mum.

And here's a few for tonight:

1993
And the Pope renounced you as the real one
Lazarus decided to rise
The twentieth century had only begun
Ladies averted their eyes

1985
Yes, I've been your fool before babe
And I probably will again
You ain't afraid to let me have it
You ain't afraid to stick it in

1978
Well I help her with her baggage for her baggage is so heavy
I hear the plane is ready by the gateway to take my love away

1976
Remember sixty-five
Well the kids are all grown up
But their records are still alive
Just like the old days, old days, old days

Shiny, I work in a school, which has had to close temporarily. So I'm fine Honeyroar, I was home anyway.

Crepuscular, it does feel odd!

The one about helping with the baggage is Airport Crepuscular. I should know who it’s by but the group is evading me atm.

Hope you’re ok Flea.

We’ve had a bit of a scare tonight - our carbon monoxide detector went off but I can’t work out why. It’s stopped shrieking now but I think we’ll be keeping all the windows open tonight just in case.

Night, night all x

Ooh FB that’s a bit worrying. Stay safe. Please let us know you’re ok in the morning.

I’m off to bed too. Night all.x

Stay safe everyone. And does the detector need new batteries or a hoover to get the dust out? Have needed both at various points here. Not that I'm suggesting your housework is like ours... Night all.

And Airport is right Babooshka.

@FlouncingBabooshka

Don't wish it away Don't look at it like it's forever Between you and me I can honestly say That things will only get better

Oh, I’ve just realised what that it. Elton John, I Guess that’s Why They Call it the Blues.

Correct!

@midgedude

Bucks fuzz?!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good ol' britany!!!!!

[quote CoffeeBeansGalore]@NeedToKnow101 Morning 👋 yes it is pretty, although no sun today. I can actually see the hills at the moment, although probably not for long. The trees have that "icing sugar" effect. I think we are teetering around 0° so not too bad today.

Dd took this picture Monday[/quote]
Omg, that is a STUNNING photograph

@dexterslockedintheshedagain

Do we get points for most posts in a row? 😂😂

No!

@Honeyroar

And I’m with Rogue. No extra points for runs of correct guesses, especially when there’s nobody been here for competition!

I can't quote needtoknow's post because it's already a quoted post, but squirm under my withering glare, needtoknow

The sad thing rogue is how long I needed to stare at my post to work out what was wrong

@FlouncingBabooshka

Best snuggle up in that slanket with a few 🍷 🍷 🍷 Rogue ❤️

I had far too many 🍷🍷🍷 And consequently feel a little 🤢

And I never want to go near that slanket again after Saturday.

But
I can't quote it, but honey's lyric before needtoknow's flurry was new life, Depeche mode

@shinynewapple2021

Hi there Rogue - glass of wine and put your feet up.

I normally work around 5 -6 hours a day so doing 10-12 hours would probably finish me off !

We've had Chinese takeout - half a portion of rice and no wine for me though as I need to try to get some of this lockdown flab off.

Talk to me not of lockdown flab, shiny.

I think I'm growing a second rogue!

Gah! I got it instantly!

(Just a day later than everyone else!)

Bloody hell. Babooshka, are you and mr FlouncingB still with us????

Hope needtoknow's boiler gets sorted and flea's isolation whizzes by.

Love n hugs to you all

I have to go and do some online training now

Have a great day, everyone x

@MNerGoneRogueAgain - don't swerve my call out for a PiC (partner in crime).. you know you're the ideal person for my mission to London Zoo to 'collect' the boobies for Honey... you're the distraction while I do the deed... Bring the ladder!

Oh and have a good day everyone too ❤️

@dexterslockedintheshedagain

This one: "Big apes, small apes, anything at all apes Playing in our cages when the light goes down Cut out the facts and only let in the rumours We're going to be rich tonight...."

80s

Did anyone get this one?
