By whom, coffee?

And when did you start being OP? It can't have been much earlier than thread 4 or 5, cos there's the original, then honey. I've done it at least once, if not twice.

When did you join in?

I trust you implicitly, midge. I reckon you MN in a white lab coat, possibly with some test tubes bubbling nearby

Rogue, never trust my memory ! It has a tendency to vague

I have been known to have to ask " did we do xxxx yesterday or was it just me dreaming"

And that was before any menopause symptoms

Diss away! And similar vibes

When the lights go out
I cannot pretend
This bed's too big for me
80s

Love has truly been good to me
Not even one sad day
Or minute have I had
80s

I see that look in your eyes (look in your eyes)
And what it's telling me
Abs you know. Oh girl. That I'm not shy
80a

When I can't sleep at night
Without holding you right
Girl each time I try I just break down and cry
90s

shinynewapple21 · 18/02/2021 14:17

Sorry couple of Britneys there

Last song is 'holding you tight'

And abs means and

Evening all.

Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
(80s)

In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
(70s and 80s)

Big In Japan. Alphaville.

Bloody love that song

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 18/02/2021 20:39

Is it about rent boys, do you think?

Honeyroar · 18/02/2021 20:45

Correct. I love it too. Never really thought about what it’s about. Could be.

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 18/02/2021 20:46

Have we moved on from Alexander o’neill And his ilk?

Honey, can I hear the bee geez for your second lyric???

Honeyroar · 18/02/2021 20:47

Just googled Dexter and found this.

You can. It was covered in the 80s too and has been an advert recently. Gorgeous song...
