😂😂😂😂
Yes to the Beautiful South.
Anyone know what it's called? (Not pencil case, though I do like that!)
I met Paul Heaton (geddit, @NeedToKnow101 - HEAT -ON?!!!) once. Though I doubt he'd remember - he was paralytic drunk.

Was it song for whoever.. It had all the girls names in it

@Honeyroar

Don’t you see that I I’m really worth a try And I say to you I know just what to do (80s)
I know this, it's really bugging me. I keep getting Lionel Richie, Hello but don't think it's that really

Afternoon Peeps

Correct to Neneh Cherry, Seven seconds. Dexter, 13 yrs can be horrible, girls definitely worse. Try red clover for your flushes, and vit B complex for the headaches.

Still snowing here. We have about 5/6 inches in the garden. Took the dogs out earlier & the snow was over my wellies in the field. Will dig the car out tomorrow. Snowball fight anyone? 😁

It’s a slow one Flea.

Correct for Human League and it was called Louise.

midgedude · 06/02/2021 16:42

Is the next line

@midgedude

Deeply serious now... this is the band he got himself tickets to see... I was told I didn't like them !

Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail

One of my DH's all time favourite bands, midge.

Were you not able to go? They're apparently spectacular live

midgedude · 06/02/2021 16:45

Shall I give you some extra lines ?

shinynewapple2021 · 06/02/2021 16:45

I remember the days when we'd walk through the woods
And sit on a bench for a while
I treasure the way we used to laugh and play
And look in each other's eyes

80s

midgedude · 06/02/2021 16:46

Cross post , someone got it

No I was not allowed to go
Apparently it was pretty good

Honeyroar · 06/02/2021 16:47

Hideous Pennine rain here, which is our default setting!

One of my DH’s favourite bands too. I don’t share the love personally.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/02/2021 16:47

@NeedToKnow101

Heatings not getting fixed till Tuesday! 😱😱😱😱 but we got heaters and wine so all good. ❤️
Careful, needtoknow, or you'll be as pickled as Babooshka by 5
Fleamaker123 · 06/02/2021 16:47

I would LOVE a snowball fight Coffee.. We very rarely get snow. Last time we sledged locally was 11 years ago!

Honeyroar · 06/02/2021 16:49

Babooshka usually turns up about midnight!

Fleamaker123 · 06/02/2021 16:50

Which band was it Midge?

No taste !
I love letting it wash over me

Pink Floyd for those asking

Honeyroar · 06/02/2021 16:55

I just get bored of it Midge. (And he asks me if I’m feeling depressed when I listen to The Cure/Mission slower tracks!)

Be afraid, dexter. Be very afraid.

You have, unfortunately made a rookie error.

You won't know cos you're new, so you might be able to salvage it.
Unfortunately honey and FlouncingB have this huge rivalry over which of them has met the most famous people.
It gets pretty ugly sometimes, tbh.
The rest of us just try and let it wash over. But honey has a sharp tongue once she's riled. A FlouncingB. Well... why do you think that's her name??? And if she's been on the sauce as well which she ALWAYS has it gets very nasty very quickly.
Even coffee can't calm them down.
Poor needtoknow has been in plaster before now. Actual plaster. She had to type with her nose! And I'm not even lying or exaggerating

Fleamaker123 · 06/02/2021 16:58

I think I only know Another brick in the wall 😬
I'll have to give them a go.

The various tribute bands are (according to my DH) generally very, very good and worth seeing. He was due to see nick Mason at the end of April this year (now moved to April next year). Saucerful of secrets. Maybe have a look and see if playing anywhere near you and tickets still available???
