No Dexter. The line 'we're gonna be rich tonight' sings in my head but nothing else .

Morning all,

Stars roll slowly in a silvery night,
Far away on the other side.
Will you come to terms with me this night,
But she couldn't find how to push through.

Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel came pumping on my floor
She said come on baby, I got a license for love
And if it expires, pray help from above

If you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide

All 80s

Top one is Moonlight Shadow - Mike Oldfield. Next one is Billy Idol - Rebel Yell?

You must all think me very rude.
I didn't say good morning!
Good morning everyone!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 04/02/2021 11:21

Correct to both Honey 👍😊

Afternoon all (although only just). I've written nearly 5,000 words on a project this morning and have just emerged for a brew. Anything I could have answered has already been answered. Hope all is well out there.

Fleamaker123 · 04/02/2021 12:22

Afternoon! Is Babooshka ok 😬

[quote NeedToKnow101]@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![/quote]
Sorry, I meant to comment on this during my mammoth catch up this morning! Amazing pic. I've heard of them but never seen one before. Aren't they what John macarrick (sp?????) nicknamed his wife? Because they're so stupid

Also, is it just my mucky mind that thought "a pair of boobies" mentioned on the thread was funny in a fnar-fnar kind of a way?

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 04/02/2021 16:41

@Fleamaker123

Afternoon! Is Babooshka ok 😬
I was just going to post same starts fretting

@FlouncingBabooshka are you still with us????

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 04/02/2021 16:42

What do you do Critter? Feel free to be vague

FlouncingBabooshka · 04/02/2021 16:44

I’m fine Honey! Sorry for the dramatic announcement followed by silence. Haven’t had a chance today to get on to the thread.

I think the problem yesterday was caused by someone (that would be me Blush) leaving some firewood rather too close to the wood burner. We’d noticed the room seemed to be very smokey and opened all the windows and shut the fire down but it didn’t seem to be clearing so we went to sit in the other room. Then later the CO detector went off even though the fire had gone out. Only noticed as I was going to bed some wood was merrily smouldering away beside the fire!

I then compounded the issue by putting the wood into the stove and closing the door to keep it ‘safe’ but we’d already shut the air vents down so the stove just filled up with smoke. So then I opened the door. So then the room filled up with smoke again...

I don’t think I’m a very good grown-up...

FlouncingBabooshka · 04/02/2021 16:45

Cross post @MNerGoneRogueAgain - sorry for any alarm caused!

FlouncingBabooshka · 04/02/2021 16:47

@Fleamaker123 - oops - sorry - replied to Honeyroar instead of you (unless you just assumed I had decided to call you Honey!)

Thanks for the concern 😘

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 04/02/2021 17:16

Glad you're ok honey-flounce

Fleamaker123 · 04/02/2021 18:20

Ah glad to hear all's well Babooshka, those alarms are scary when they go off 😕

Fleamaker123 · 04/02/2021 18:23

Apologies in advance for this one 😬

When you come out on the front
Listen to my heart go bumpity bump
I need you baby and thats no lie
Without your love Id surely die

NeedToKnow101 · 04/02/2021 18:49

Flouncing that sounds quite scary. Lucky you found the smouldering log! Maybe you need some nice, fit firemen to come round and give you some fire safety training. I'm sure Coffee can find it some!

Oh I don't know..! Is it cuz only love can break your heart?
Fleamaker123 · 04/02/2021 19:06

No NeedToKnow101

It was on an old TOTP the other night.
I'd completely forgotten it. For good reason..

Honeyroar · 04/02/2021 19:15

It sounds like it should be Gloria Estafan or something, but her stuff was a bit older and wasn’t that bad, was it!

@MNerGoneRogueAgain yes the boobies in pairs comment was dual meaning- both meanings valid...!!

Fleamaker123 · 04/02/2021 19:35

Not Gloria, Honeyroar

Clue, he was a soap star (hoping there's no fans on here 😬) not too bad I suppose

CoffeeBeansGalore · 04/02/2021 19:47

Flea, was he Australian? Played Paul Robinson in Neighbours?

OP posts:
Honeyroar · 04/02/2021 20:08

Did Paul Robinson have a single? I must have (luckily) been abroad that year!

Fleamaker123 · 04/02/2021 20:13

No but you're close..

Fleamaker123 · 04/02/2021 20:13

Sorry not Paul Robinson, but similar..
