@RogueMNerKnowsNoShame

It's not called always, custardbear?????

Your other one isn't scritti politti, is it? I think I can hear green's voice, but I can't name the song even if it is

This is my reference to red hot
custardbear · 01/05/2021 22:06

Oh and the Stevie Wonder title is still wrong ... and it's not 'so' either

Prince was right though ... Raspberry beret ✅✅✅

custardbear · 01/05/2021 22:12

Got another one to add to my others ...

Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn't great
He didn't ever talk about he knew he couldn't wait

You’re going to have to tell us Custard!

Yes I’m sure it will be ok Coffee, I’m just having wobbles! Too late now anyway. I’ve got to advertise it too and get it known. It’s bound to be quieter initially. I’ve so much to do this week- got to actually register it and get permits etc. It’s all getting very real!

That one is Yellow - The Race.

Please don't embarrass yourself, dexter.

We like a little decorum on this thread

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 01/05/2021 22:30

Oh feck. We've gone over another page!

My last comment was a response to dexter, but couldn't quote as I think already a quoted post.

Someone (def not me) seems to be embarrassing themselves on here tonight

You'll have a long line of mners, honey.

Are you thinking of serving cheesecake at all? Just wondering

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 01/05/2021 22:37

I think @FlouncingBabooshka might be your woman for scritti politti, custardbear. She's met him
(She and I had a conversation about it back on thread 1).
You've not meat our FlouncingB yet she's usually drunk

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 01/05/2021 22:37

Met, not meat. Brittany!!!!!!

NeedToKnow101 · 01/05/2021 23:02

Rogue and Dexter.. hope you've satiated yourselves with the Laughing Cow triangles and Cheese Strings I flung over.. I decided to keep the Waitrose posh cheese to myself in the end, don't want you two getting addicted to it. I'm just so fucking giving, me. 😇😇😇😇😇😇

NeedToKnow101 · 01/05/2021 23:06

@Honeyroar

What were the lyrics for the Give it away one? There have been that many hints I’ve forgotten!

They were..'Realize I don't want to be a miser
Confide with sly you'll be the wiser
Young blood is the lovin' upriser' but it's been got so...

CoffeeBeansGalore · 01/05/2021 23:18

90s, not a hit but rather well known 😁

I'll strip bare,
I'll just wear
Stilettos and an oven glove!
Don't starve a girl of a palaver,
Dangle from the wardrobe in your balaclava.

Honey have you considered a BLT in a toasted bagel? Or are you sticking to coffee, cakes & cookies?
And just a thought - Costco do some lovely coffee beans if there is one near you.

Ooooo lucky girl - I was so in love with him as a teenager 😋🥰
CarnageRoundTheMayPole · 02/05/2021 05:41

@Honeyroar

Yes I love the song, despite apparently not knowing it’s title! 🤣 It went fine Carnage thanks. I only worked 3 hours (hardly worth going in!) and we have plenty of staff now. Plus it’s calming down a little now. I hope things level out soon. I’m a little anxious that there are a lot less walkers around where my trailer will be compared to a few weeks ago!. How was your day?
There will be plenty of walkers when you open up, I’ll tell ya 😜😜😜😜 Especially if you are selling cheesecake and apple pie……. I’m quite partial to a (large) slice of apple pie …..

Morning good idea Coffee. I often go for the savoury option if there is one.

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 02/05/2021 08:41

Custardbear, he's changed a LOT.

I saw them in 2019

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 02/05/2021 08:42

Carnage, do you ever actually sleep?

NeedToKnow101 · 02/05/2021 08:42

Morning Rogue ❤️, it's a new dawn, a new day, and I hope my cheese misdemeanours are forgiven and any points you've redistributed, will be given back to me. Not giving you the good cheese was actually a kindness on my part, I'm sure you see that.. 🥰😍❤️😘

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 02/05/2021 08:42

No idea for any of the lyrics.

Nobody got my number 3? Any takers?

3.Just close your eyes and then remember
The thoughts you've locked away
When tomorrow comes you'll wish
You had today

I ALSO LOVE CHEESECAKE. I'll fight you for that Rogue. Proper 'tops off in the brambles' fight, aye
