Is it I'll fly for you Honeyroar?

Fleamaker123 · 21/02/2021 12:49

Sorry Pantry I snuck in there 😆

@Honeyroar

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)

Aha! It's Midges packing to move that confused me. I'm ^^ a police officer. Yes, passed fit by the physio on Friday, so I'm back keeping London Safe. Physio wouldn't sign me off in time to go back on the 17th. And as soon as the stables open, I'm getting back on the bloody horse!! Grin

@Honeyroar

There’s a clue to the title in what I used to do for a job Pantry...
Fly me?!!!
shinynewapple21 · 21/02/2021 13:11

Looks like a combined effort then everyone Smile
Correct with I'll fly for you Spandeau Ballet

A police officer in London, Dexter, that's very brave of you !

Honeyroar · 21/02/2021 13:22

Can you not get into the mounted dept Dexter? Sounds like it’d suit you. Our Rockin Robbie was being considered by the police when we bought him. (He’d not have made it. He’s a very sensible horse but likes to pretend he isn’t and runs around all affronted at things!)

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 21/02/2021 13:22

Not really, I work in custody so am not on the streets any more! It can be entertaining though

Afternoon all

A bright and blustery day here. Ds is back in school for Monday & Tuesday so I'm heading off to get packed lunch stuff. Here's one from me. See you later 😁

Here comes Johnny, gonna tell you the story
Hand me down my walkin' shoes
Here comes Johnny with the power and the glory
Backbeat the talkin' blues

I'd love to, but as I'm only 18mths to retirement, they won't consider me 😔 I'd love to meet Rockin' Robbie!

Our resident copper! Rogue will be running scared... she's probably desperately disposing of the evidence right now.

It's not the way you look
It's not the way that you smile
Although there's something to them
It's not the way you have your hair

@NeedToKnow101 is it Erasure? Sometimes

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 21/02/2021 16:53

Actually, scrap that.
I think it is Flock of Seagulls - title might be Photograph of you

Correcto Mundo! ✅ It's actually called Wishing, but I thought it was called a Photograph of you too..

Yes, thank you needtoknow. Not worried. I'm sure Dexter is well aware that what gets put on the thread, stays on the thread

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 21/02/2021 18:50

Absolutely Rogue! 😉

[quote AlisonParker1]Hey guys.
I know this post is irrelevant to the question but I can’t find any posts about it. 😍
I’m thinking of getting into keto. I heard it’s a great way for parents to lose weight. What do you think about keto? I found this free e-book on youtube and I just want to make sure it's real, if I can use these recipes to lose belly fat. 🤪

Here's the link for the Free Keto Recipe eBook - cutt.ly/KldCmSZ[/quote]

Think this is the wrong thread!

I hope this is spam and not someone who has genuinely noticed how fat I’ve got during lockdown!!
