Well I eventually got round to dying my hair last weekend so no longer have the grey roots. Need to give my fringe another trim but I'm not touching the length .

Shiny he has a wide range of musical taste. On the same playlist he has Toto & Africa, Insomnia by Faithless, Tom Jones, Duffy & a load I can't think of.

@CoffeeBeansGalore

Have you risked it yet Carnage?
Still psyching myself up @CoffeeBeansGalore.

Dh did mention that he is still willing to cut it, but he was backing away slowly as he was saying it 😁.
I think I’ll do it on Sunday when I’ve got more time.

That’s what I’m planning to do, @shinynewapple21, the side fringe and a purple toning mask. That’ll do for the next six weeks,I think .

Just made an appointment for 20th April Smile

WhipperSnapperSteve · 26/02/2021 18:53

Evening ladies Smile Sorry I haven't been around, medical got in the way, but had my first Covid jab yesterday.

I'll do better. I hope you're all ok? (Goes off to catch up on thread Smile)

  • What's with these homies dissin' my girl? Why do they gotta front?*

Is Buddy Holly by Weezer.

WhipperSnapperSteve · 26/02/2021 18:56

"We all wanna be big, big stars
Yeah, but we got different reasons for that"

I think is Mr Jones by Counting Crows.

Happy Weekend everyone

Here's a selection of lyrics from the random shuffle on my journey home

  1. I never meant to do that to you
    Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead
    80s

  2. The dream has gone but the baby is real

3)And I want to sleep with you in the desert night
With a billion stars all around
70s

  1. And all the electric stars are shining
    Beneath my skin

  2. I wear black on the outside
    'Cause black is how I feel on the inside
    80s

  3. She said, "I get it every night,
    and he calls me every day.
    80s

Honeyroar · 26/02/2021 19:31
  1. is Don’t call me baby - Voice of the Beehive.
Honeyroar · 26/02/2021 19:33
  1. Is The Eagles- Peaceful Easy Feeling.

Some of the others are ringing bells, just not loud enough!

FlouncingBabooshka · 26/02/2021 19:46

Hello @WhipperSnapperSteve - thought you might be needed to guess those ones Smile. Hope the medical went ok and you’re keeping well.

WhipperSnapperSteve · 26/02/2021 19:48
  1. Troy by Sinead O'Connor
FlouncingBabooshka · 26/02/2021 19:49

Just this one of mine left now.
Where is Rogue? She’ll get this...

2005
Could you see the aisles of women?
Could you see them screaming and weeping?
Could you see the storm rising?
Could you see the guy who was driving?

Oh, and the two Steve got - the connection for one is obvious (Buddy Holly). Mr Jones name-checks Bob Dylan.

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 26/02/2021 19:50

Yes to Troy, Peaceful Easy Feeling and Don't call me baby

Flouncings is a Kate Bush I can hear it, but I can't get the title

WhipperSnapperSteve · 26/02/2021 19:50
  1. The Smiths - Unlovable
Fleamaker123 · 26/02/2021 19:51

We've all got
Our own funny moods
I've got mine
I bet you woman you've got yours too
80's

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 26/02/2021 19:51

Yes @WhipperSnapperSteve

WhipperSnapperSteve · 26/02/2021 19:52

Ahh the Kate Bush one is King of the Mountain methinks.

AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 26/02/2021 19:52

@Fleamaker123

We've all got Our own funny moods I've got mine I bet you woman you've got yours too 80's
If you don't know me by now - Simply Red
WhipperSnapperSteve · 26/02/2021 19:54

Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name

00's

Fleamaker123 · 26/02/2021 19:54

Yes AJumpedUpPantryBoy
👍

Fleamaker123 · 26/02/2021 19:57

In Keds and tube socks

FlouncingBabooshka · 26/02/2021 20:13

Here’s a new theme...

60s
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile

80s
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil
Going with the flow, it's all a game to me

70s
I don't need love
For what good will love do me?

80s
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine

80s
A drive from nowhere leaves you in the cold
Refrigeration keeps you young, I'm told

80s
A passion course that leads to pain
An acid taste that laced her soul again

90s
Your groove I do deeply dig
No walls, only the bridge

80s
The girl in the cake
Jumped out too soon by mistake,
Somebody said the whole thing's half baked

70s
If I can't live in love then surely I’ve lost.
You tend to get burned, tend to get bruised,
But it's my life whatever i choose.

70s
People talk about me baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong
