The middle one of Coffee’s is Whitesnake- Is this love?

I’m really struggling posting today. I’ve tried to post this lyric twice earlier. My mucking out melody of the day!

And in just one breath he said
You’ve gotta get up
You’ve gotta get on
You’ve gotta get down girl.

@FlouncingBabooshka

Well done Midge 👏👏👏 All the Young Dudes also name checks the Beatles and the Stones.

Just those other post extra lyrics this evening if not guessed by then.

I’ve just noticed that I appear to have dispensed with established sentence construction in favour of some random words in no particular order...

Been walking up hills today trying to get some blubber off that I’ve piled on since Xmas. I had to sit down halfway and I think both dogs thought I was dying. They ran back all anxious and kept cuddling me and licking me!

It’s Brittney sabotaging you Babooshka. She does it to us all!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 25/02/2021 16:14

Lovely view Honey. I'm sure the dogs loved it.

That's an amazing view, love the sky Honeyroar

Fleamaker123 · 25/02/2021 16:23

I'm thinking of Wuthering Heights looking at that!

Honeyroar · 25/02/2021 16:24

Yes there have been some lovely skies lately. If you squint at the skyline you can see Manchester in the distance.

Honeyroar · 25/02/2021 16:27

It does look a bit Wuthering Heights. That’s not a million miles away. It’s a war memorial up on the hilltop. Everyone walks up on Remembrance Sunday, it feels a really moving service up there somehow.

Honey, that's beautiful. You are so lucky having that on your doorstep!

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 25/02/2021 16:52

Isn't Wuthering Heights a place called Top Withens? WH is the best book ever written. Wrote a cracking essay about it in Lower 6th. And left it on the bus Confused

Honeyroar · 25/02/2021 16:59

Yes Dexter it’s a place near Haworth, on the moors north of Bradford. Quite similar countryside to here.

Fleamaker123 · 25/02/2021 17:44

Wondered if it was Manchester in the distance. No wonder you had to have a stop half way up!

FlouncingBabooshka · 25/02/2021 17:51

@AJumpedUpPantryBoy

I spot Geno - by Dexy's Midnight Runners in your list
You do indeed Pantry, well done. 👋

Very envious of that stunning scenery Honey.

Just skimmed back over a few pages and am devastated to find I missed an entire cheese conversation.

Now I’m thinking about Dolcelatte. I feel a furtive rummage in fridge coming on...

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 25/02/2021 17:57

Lovely Honey - you do live in a beautiful part of the world

Always happy to continue cheese discussions @FlouncingBabooshka
DH came home from the shop with a local mead washed soft goats cheese - he knows the way to my heart!

That's Last Night a DJ saved my life Honey .. beautiful views you have there.

NeedToKnow101 · 25/02/2021 18:22

Yes maybe we can always have a side order of cheese running through the thread.

Honeyroar · 25/02/2021 18:32

I might have had to stop more than once!

When we were talking about cheese someone did a little cheese quiz. What was the blue cheese one?

Honeyroar · 25/02/2021 18:36

Correct Needtoknow ✅

These are quite apt -

You don’t want to hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
(80s)

You had a temper
Like my jealousy

midgedude · 25/02/2021 18:45

Quick quick Kate bush wuthering heights

Fleamaker123 · 25/02/2021 18:54

Running up that hill! 😂

Honeyroar · 25/02/2021 19:03

Correct both of you! Imagine running up that hill with no problem, only in my dreams!
