Oh I hope so. It’s rained all day today here . And I’ve been unable to connect with MN which is normally my go-to if I’m in an unmotivated, bored frame of mind .

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 20/02/2021 17:28

Lovely photos.
It's rained all day here and is blowing a gale. The road into town is flooded and covered in debris (we're v rural) and broadband has been down for most of the day.
I should really have used the time productively but I've mostly sat around eating cheese and crisps.
Good job that half term is nearly over as I am in danger of becoming welded to the settee.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 20/02/2021 17:44

Lovely pics Rogue. I've been having trouble getting on the mn. It keeps crashing!

I would consider that time well spent and eminently productive!

Sadly, (and this does sadden me deeply) not many people in life are as committed to cheese as I. Nor understands it's importance in our civilisation.

Here's a small flurry. No theme, just stuff I've heard or thought about during this week:
(Numbered in the Rogue stylie as requested)
Some of these are waaaaay too easy.

  1. I don't know what the future's gonna be
Good or bad Time won't be your saviour And I can't give you no written guarantee I won't make you sad But I'll be on my best behaviour 80s
  1. We've come a long long way together
90s
  1. Nowadays you can't be too sentimental
Your best bet's a true baby blue Continental. Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk 80s
  1. I'm not denyin'
We're flying above it all Hold my hand, don't let me fall 90s
  1. Hey little thing let me light your candle
Many artists over the decades
  1. Baby, ain't it somethin' how we lasted this long
You and me provin' everyone wrong 80s
  1. Tainted hearts heal with time
Now shoot that love, so we can stop the bleedin' 80s, apparently
  1. You've been around all night and that's a little long
You think you've got the right but I think you've got it wrong 80s
  1. Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling Tell me baby, where did I go wrong? 90s

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 20/02/2021 19:36

Hugs midge.
5, 2 and 3 all correct

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 20/02/2021 19:37

12 is correct.

NeedToKnow101 · 20/02/2021 19:37

I'm committed to cheese Rogue, but not crisps. When I was young I was fully committed to crisps, but not cheese,

Honeyroar · 20/02/2021 19:42

6 is Adamski/Seal - Killer (was 1989 in Italy!)

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 20/02/2021 19:43

Folly of youth, needtoknow, folly of youth.

It time comes maturity. Like Roquefort

They share equal first place for me. I can leave the sweet stuff but savoury is my downfall.

9 is Hey Mickey - Toni

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 20/02/2021 19:44

6 is correct.

These are waaaaaaaaaay too easy

NeedToKnow101 · 20/02/2021 19:45

@MNerGoneRogueAgain - after seeing your version of the numbered list and a zillion other eccentricities , I wonder if you have ODD, aka Oppositional Defiance Disorder.

(Please don't reply with FOD).

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 20/02/2021 19:45

9 is correct, pantry, but need the full name if you want full poimts

Honeyroar · 20/02/2021 19:45

I’m committed to most food, sadly, and thoroughly welded to the settee already!

Just bloody windy here today. It hasn’t actually rained as much as was forecast.

midgedude · 20/02/2021 19:46

Not way too easy more a nice gentle introduction to the evening , and as much as my brain can handle now
