@NeedToKnow101

Maybe Rogue's headmistress was just about to be caught red-handed after pushing someone (vulnerable, with no knickers on) off the top of a ladder...
Let it go, needtoknow, let it go.

Honey (can't quote your post). Neither, but she was just so exhausted. It's been ridiculously tough on headteachers. Crazy ridiculous. It's why I suck up to respect pantry

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 02/04/2021 00:09

I'm completely kerfuffled by needtoknow congratulating the wrong people.

The spreadsheet's a mess, and I'm randomly allocating points to the wrong people. Honey gets nothing. Rogue is doing rather well.

I need to spend this holiday spring cleaning my spreadsheet (sounds like a euphemism!)

Honeyroar · 02/04/2021 11:23

Sounds like a Brittney for bed sheets

FlouncingBabooshka · 02/04/2021 17:10

Can’t believe I missed all the house lyrics!

Sorry to hear you have your share of roof woes Pantry and Honey. Honey - I am very worried about your massively heavy stone roof being on the point of collapse 😱.

I think it hit us particularly hard yesterday as we thought it was a quick job that was going to cost us maybe a couple of hundred pounds or so.

If someone had said beforehand it looked like a major problem we’d at least have been prepared for it. As it was the £10 - 15k came totally out of the blue.

Honestly this fecking house - it’s one thing after another. We’re supposed to be getting a new kitchen (falling apart) and shower room (falling apart) and our bedroom is covered in god awful woodchip so when we try to remove that the walls will likely fall down. I’m thinking of changing the name of the house to Blandings (has anyone seen Cary Grant in Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House?).

We do have a lovely sitting room (if you just ignore the brown water stains above the picture rail...)

Oh well, this seems like an appropriate lyric...

There's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 02/04/2021 17:24

Right, well I've had to spend all day clearing up the mess needtoknow made of my spreadsheet. Not for me enjoying the rule of 6 to go and litter local beauty spots. No, for me it's all work, work, work.

I'm in a vile mood, and have wiped ALL her points, and docked 100 from most of the rest of you (blame needtoknow, not me), which puts most of you into minus numbers (not you, coffee).

So, here's an opportunity for you all to earn some precious points back. Some VERY easy ones here (and some absolutely horrendous ear worms), so I'm minded to be quite strict and not my usual, easy-going self.

Happy Easter, chicks. x All 80s except one.

i.

Met Mo and she's okay, said no one really changed,
Got different badges but they wear them just the same.
But down by the ballroom I recognized that flaming fountain
In those kindred caring eyes.

ii.
If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'?

iii.
It's too hot to handle, so I got to get up and go

iv.
How long must I wait
How much more must I take

A cover. Bonus point for original singer, but looking for the 80s artist here

v.
This man said, "It's gruesome
That someone so handsome should care"

vi.
We bite and scratch and scream all night

vii.
Ooh, try a little harder

viii.
People stare and cross the road from me

ix.
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid

x.
We've got a mind of our own
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right!

xi.
I'd just like to make you mine, all mine

xii.
He's acting shy looking for an answer
Come on honey let's spend the night together

Well I’m just a music man
Melody’s so far my best friend

xiv.
I have danced inside your eyes
How can I be real?

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 02/04/2021 17:25

so sorry it's so grim, FlouncingB.

Is yours crowded house? Don't dream it's over.

There's no theme to mine, btw

Fleamaker123 · 02/04/2021 17:29

Is that Crowded House FlouncingB, Don't dream it's over...
It's never-ending isn't it. You feel like you're getting somewhere then the first thing you fixed needs doing again!
I think I've seen that Cary Grant film.. How about that Tom Hanks one, The Money Pit!!

NeedToKnow101 · 02/04/2021 17:31

Ignoring your mean comments Rogue, that I know you don't mean.. I'll go for..

vii.
Ooh, try a little harder
Kajagoogoo, Too Shy?

ix.
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
Elton John I'm still standing

Give it up? KC and the Sunshine Band😍

NeedToKnow101 · 02/04/2021 17:31

FlouncingB - that sounds horrendous. Really sorry to hear that. ❤️

Fleamaker123 · 02/04/2021 17:34

Oh pipped again!

How long must I wait
How much more must I take

Rogue, that's Phil Collins, Can't hurry love..
I always hated that song in a nightclub, it was too fast for me to dance to.. I never knew whether to speed up or slow down!

The first is Oblivious by Aztec Camera.
FlouncingBabooshka · 02/04/2021 17:45

Oh, and the second one is Gloria. Mental blank - was it Laura Brannigan?

FlouncingBabooshka · 02/04/2021 17:47

vi is Love Cats, The Cure.

FlouncingBabooshka · 02/04/2021 17:48

Do I get bonus sympathy points Rogue?

FlouncingBabooshka · 02/04/2021 17:50

Correct to Rogue (and Flea, even though you were pipped!) Don’t Dream It’s Over.

Flea - I’ve seen the Money Pit too - I think it’s a remake of Mr Blandings.

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 02/04/2021 18:32

Right, how you doing?

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 02/04/2021 18:33

Flea was NOT pipped. She was just slow.

All correct Needtoknow

iv.
How long must I wait

Phil Collins, You Can’t Hurry Love
Correct Flea. I hated it too. Not going to name the original for a bonus point? You could really use those points!

i.

Met Mo and she's okay, said no one really changed,
Got different badges but they wear them just the same.
But down by the ballroom I recognized that flaming fountain

Aztec Camera, Obvious

ii.

Laura Brannigan, Gloria

vi.
We bite and scratch and scream all night

The Cure, Lovecats

All correct, FlouncingB. Honey's going to be gutted she missed that last one. But there's at least one more on the list with her name on it!

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 02/04/2021 18:40

@FlouncingBabooshka

Do I get bonus sympathy points Rogue?
Absolutely not. You get a brisk pat and a slight softening around the eyes. That's it.
RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 02/04/2021 18:42

so, still outstanding...

Where's midge? I want her to gaze in awe and wonder at my use of Roman numerals. Which NOONE else has commented on.

NeedToKnow101 · 02/04/2021 18:53

I was quite impressed by your Roman numerals, but I'm not talking to you Rogue, so I'm not going to tell you ... oh. Hmmm ...
