Lobs a tin of salmon in Rogues general direction.
And a tin of tuna at Dex because she’s easy going.

You'll do someone a mischief, honey

Don't talk to me about love was the other altered images song.

And she was in Gregory's girl for a bonus point

They also had another hit called- I could be happy.

Not sure on that one now.

Good job I don’t know where you all live. I’m probably lobbing them the wrong way.
Dude/starman do you have any fish preferences?

I actually quite like those tinned mackerel fillets in tomato sauce! Feel like I'm eating something healthy!

Talking about tins, I was shocked to see Heinz baked beans are £1 a tin now!

Rogue1001 · 10/01/2022 23:14

Dammit, Dudes. That's the one where the lyric's from.
Don't even THINK of getting a point. I spoon-fed it to you. looks round for kippers

I blame brexit.

Tinned fish makes me think of midnight feasts in Enid Blyton books

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes

Oh actually Psycho Killer was 70s, so maybe not.
That's my mistake, but the song is correct @AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes! Was watching Night Stalker and it popped into my head! You're good!

Such a classic song, I never get bored of listening to it.

He's a worker for the council
Has been twenty years
And he takes no lip off nobody
And litter off the gutter
Puts it in a bag

80s

shinynewapple21 · 12/01/2022 17:45

You snatch a chill and you match a cigarette
She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet
I don't know how much more of this I can take
She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake

70s

Fighting back the tears
Mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame
It's always the same

I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself
Hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are

I’ll remember about the mackerel Goody two shoes, but I still don’t feel confident that I know you well enough to lob them at you yet!!
