I got it! I got it! WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!!!! Grin
Correct. However, you get no points (a) for not getting it quicker and (b) not saying it was guns n roses.

Did you know there was a points system? It's very complex, but basically I win.
We also have a coolness ladder, which some wit christened Wobbling Heights due to the fact a couple of us are big kate bush fans.

You're welcome to pop yourself up onto one of the lower rungs if you like. (I wouldn't go up to high though, some of the others can be a bit territorial and somewhat jealous). I understand the views are pretty good.

Also, correct with your so vain, carly Simon.

You're very good

I managed to scare two newbies off last week! Despite being one of the nicest posters! 🤣🤣

There was wouldn't it be nice by the beach boys, if we could say goodnight and stay together

That's one of the tracks for our van sitting lonely on the drive

Correct. And correct with hard days night.

And, carnage, correct with horse with no name (for you, cos you won best user name. Geddit?)

I lost the ability to attach anything at the end of last night. The paperclip icon below has disappeared. Any ideas?

Do not get on that ladder without a hard hat and large hex .

Honeyroar · 31/01/2021 15:39

Is it because you’ve posted so much in the past 24 hours? I think there’s a limit.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 31/01/2021 15:40

Shiny, correct with the theme.

I'm not sure people did get the ABBA one, so please name the song

And correct with hot chocolate and easy like Sunday morning

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 31/01/2021 15:41

@Honeyroar

Oh Dexter we don’t talk about what we sang to our daughters - it sets Rogue off talking about her nipples.
One nipple and one anecdote once huffs

Oh, it's sure to be fine. What could possibly go wrong???
CoffeeBeansGalore · 31/01/2021 15:44

Ok thanks Honey, that makes sense. Bit sad I couldn't attach any more trophies. I didn't want anyone thinking it was because I couldn't be bothered.

I know @dexter's song she's posted in capitals ... it's singing in my head , male singer .... so annoying when that happens but you can't get any further with the song !

CoffeeBeansGalore · 31/01/2021 15:51

CoffeeBeansGalore · 31/01/2021 15:59

Dexter, it was used in a film with Nicholas Cage & Meg Ryan. He's an angel & she's a hospital doctor.
(said this to my DD and she has just got it so I am not going to claim as it was her, not me).

I want to say Supertramp, but I know it's not, as that wouldn't be 90s.

Yes! Special Brew. I used to sing it to DD when she was a baby. She used to love to join in with the 'do doo dodo doo' bits when she could talk. Ah, memories.....[/quote]

Correct and lovely story Dexter. Ignore Rogue's nipples; we try to. I used to sing this to my baby when he was tiny..

There ain't another
I don't want no other lover

They tryin' to shake me
Ya know ya lovin' me crazy
Look at us lately
And tell em whose your lady

I hope we can patch it up together
