Correct shiny.

Midge, grovel surreptitiously

midgedude · 20/02/2021 20:30

Surres... as long as it don't involve movement

Honeyroar · 20/02/2021 20:35

What’s left to be guessed. I’m clearly lost!

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 20/02/2021 20:42

No 1, honey.

You don't have to move, midge

midgedude · 20/02/2021 20:45

You are lovely!

Well, I'm a tiger when I want love
But I'm a snake if we disagree

No Rogue, but it does sound a bit like a Chinese proverb now you mention it! It's a group my older brother got me into, not sure if anyone on here listens to them though!

Not sure if the singer was got (sorry if it was- am back at work now, and my MN app was playing up yesterday) but it was Maria McKee. From the film Days of Thunder Smile

How did the move go, midge? Hope you're ok. Thanksfor you. Winefor everyone.

shinynewapple21 · 21/02/2021 09:42

Morning Dexter. What work do you do? Just had a minor panic it was Monday morning, not Sunday, and I was due in a meeting !

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 21/02/2021 10:43

Morning all. are you fit enough to be back at work Dexter? I imagine you have to be at a certain fitness level?
And I could be wrong, but I don't think midge is moving until Wednesday???

Don't worry, shiny... today is a slow and easy day (or, in my case.... Eeeek... everything I said I'd do in half term needs doing TODAY!!!)

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 21/02/2021 10:45

Here are more lyrics from my ungot one yesterday. TBH, i was really pleased when it came on the radio and I thought "AHA!!! I know this song, but I've not given it a thought since the 80s, and I bet none of them have either"

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

Look what you're doing
When you put me down
When you put me down
Made me the clown
Made me the clown yeah
Look what you're doing
Just come on over and see
Just how much lovin's in me yeah

Whoa

My (current) earworm
Everyone needs a bosom for a pillow, everyone needs a bosom.

Honeyroar · 21/02/2021 11:23

Morning (just!) all.

That’s Cornershop - Brimful of Asha. (probably stuck in my head now too!)

Honeyroar · 21/02/2021 11:26

Yes I think Midge said weds for moving. And wasn’t Dexter back around the 17th? Hope it’s all gone well Dexter.

You were there in the turnstiles
With the wind at your heals
(80s)

Morning!

We're mortals on the earth oh but God's up in the sky
