hi all.

Things any easier this week, honey?

Sorry to hear you’ve not been well, Steve. You’ve really been through it. Hope you’re getting there now.

Are you unwell Rogue? Not Covid?

Afternoon all Smile
Hope you are OK Steve

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 20/04/2021 16:59

No, no. Nothing like that.
Just the shock to my system having to be a grown up again.

Alarm clocks, etc shudders

NeedToKnow101 · 20/04/2021 20:10

Sorry to hear you've been poorly Steve. Hope you're feeling better now ❤️

Know that feeling!

Hope you’re ok Rogue. I’m not in until weds. Sorry you’ve not been well Steve. I’ll send cake.

Hello all! I'm still alive - need to read through the pages and pages that I've missed.

I had my vaccination last week and ended up spending 4 days vomiting and shaking. I'm usually very hardy - last time I had a day off ill was in 2012 so this was a bit of a shock to the system

Hope everyone is OK

FlouncingBabooshka · 20/04/2021 21:12

Hello lovely people.

Sorry to hear you’ve not been well Steve, hope you’re ok now.

A quick couple of lyrics from songs I’ve just heard

70s
You'd laugh and run away
And I'd chase you through the meadow

80s
Her green eyes, they held mystery
No emotion on her face

CoffeeBeansGalore · 20/04/2021 21:39

Hello @FlouncingBabooshka 🖐. No more biscuit tin fires I hope 😁

Ok. I ONKY know this because I've done this lyric myself (at Halloween, I believe) but no 2 is cliff Richard and devil woman

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 20/04/2021 22:10

Hello FlouncingB and Pantry.

Hope all well. Pantry, I was rotten with mine, but only for a day. Which one did you have?

NeedToKnow101 · 20/04/2021 22:33

And cuz you're a mahoosive Cliff Richard fan Wink

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 20/04/2021 23:02

I bloody knew it. I knew you evil bunch of witches would come put with your nasty barbed comments.
I nearly didn't post the answer because I knew the abuse you'd come out with.

But I can't stand to sit by and watch someone else get a lyric I know. So, I'm braving your vile torrents.
Water off a duck's back, needtoknow. Water off a duck's back!

They’re now in a Tupperware box so the worst I can do is melt it!

Honeyroar · 20/04/2021 23:16

Hello Pantry. Sorry to hear you suffered after your jab. My sister in law was like that too. She’s a deputy head - perhaps gets you school bosses more! She’s the only person I know that suffered. Hope you’re feeling better again. Are you younger than the rest of us? I thought we’d have all had it by now (apart from Steve).

shinynewapple21 · 21/04/2021 10:18

Hello @FlouncingBabooshka

The song that goes 'I'd chase you through the meadow ' is called 'Oh Lori '

I don't know who sang it

shinynewapple21 · 21/04/2021 10:23

Hope you are feeling better now Pantry.

I had my jab through work so have my second one coming up later this week . Just had sore arm last time so fingers crossed no worse with the second . I know a few people who were a bit rough for 24 hours but not really bad like Pantry. I read that the stronger your immune system the worse the reactions which is why the very elderly didn't get poorly after theirs . Don't know how true that is though .

Honeyroar · 21/04/2021 16:45

That makes sense Shiny, I was thinking that my mother, who has everything else wrong with her, sailed through her jabs without affect.

Righto, some lyrics. It’s the singer’s birthday.

  1. I hear her voice and start to run into the trees
  1. Night after night she lay alone in bed
  1. Getting bigger and sleeker and wider and brighter
  1. You’ll have to adapt or you’ll be out of style

I think that is Mister Mister’s Kirie.
Sorry been in hospital! I think you're right Smile heard it for the first time in years!
Honeyroar · 21/04/2021 19:46

Is that you Steve? Hope you’re ok and home now?

Correct Coffee to Lovecats. ✅

Yup, namechange fail! They flooded me with antibiotics and morphine for diverticulitis and pancreatitis. Nice to be back home.
