Ooooo, you've got the band, which song?

I'm sure that's true.
But, sadly all your points are deleted.

Harsh but fair.

Speak to midge. Her DH cleans up on here

Aww that is harsh! I probably didn't have that many points anyway! Won't ask DH again! 😂

Living on a prayer?

How is your daughter going on with choosing a uni?

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 24/08/2022 07:44

Every time I hear that song, I can't help singing 'pigeon on a chair' 😃

Don't worry Goody, you get used to Rogue. Just don't go up the ladder! (Go back through threads.😁)

Aw! I miss the coolness ladder.

Unfortunately, MNHQ banned it after that unfortunate incident with N2K <whispers> I think she'd been drinking

Rogue1001MNer · 24/08/2022 11:07

I assume nothing outstanding?

I think a couple of mine are from the other day. Just about to check....

Rogue1001MNer · 24/08/2022 11:17

Just checked.

All mine got.

Well done all.

A bonus point to all the newbies to welcome them to the thread.

I'll do more sometime.

Intriguing about this ladder, I've no idea what this is.....!

Rogue did anyone get the Rod Stewart song from the end of the last thread? I'll have another guess if not- Tonight's the night?

Rogue1001MNer · 24/08/2022 13:10

Ooo. No. Noone did.

No wrong song.

Think Kenny Everett

<goes a bit misty-eyed>

Ah. The coolness ladder. How I miss it.
It was a bit daft (cos the rest of these threads are just so serious!!!! Hmm).
But we had a ladder of coolness, and people moved up or down it depending on my whims how cool the lyrics were.
Needtoknow was at the top, and was very, very, very happy about it. She built a little platform and everything.
But then there was an <ahem> "unfortunate incident" and she <ahem, ahem, ahem> fell off.
Totally her fault of course.
Things got a bit sticky.

And.... well.... the coolness ladder has been retired to the great shed in the sky.

Maybe one day it might return.....

Rogue1001MNer · 24/08/2022 14:04

Ok. I know I'm deeply sad/have too much time on my hands, but.

The coolness ladder first appears on thread 18. Roughly around page 22.
It's around Christmas time, and we're all very jolly (well, most of us are. There is one exception. But I think that poster has left now). I was smiling quite a lot re-reading it.

We're discussing our rankings on it on pg 32

Then by thread 20, things have all gone horribly wrong.

So thread 19 is where the <coughs> misdemeanor occurred.
But I couldn't find thread 19.
Have mnhq deleted it to protect future generations????

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 24/08/2022 14:40

Will need to have a look back!

If Kenny Everett is the hint- is it Do ya think I'm sexy? Remember watching Kenny Everett on BBC 2 back in the day!

Thisnamesbetter · 24/08/2022 15:49

I'm heading back to read about ladders in threads 18 - 20. 🤓

Thisnamesbetter · 24/08/2022 22:20

Coolness ladder sounded cool in thread 19!

Rogue1001MNer · 24/08/2022 22:26

Omg.

Amazing reading all that.

Odd seeing "Steve" again. Not in a good way.
LOVELY hearing honey tentatively telling us her coffee box ideas (and the suggested names)
I do think "the rest of us were just wishing you have pants on" is the funniest I've ever been or will be
That was kind of lovely

Thisnamesbetter · 24/08/2022 23:29

😎Here's my attempt at being cool. 😎

Rogue1001MNer · 24/08/2022 23:34

Just for you.

I'm banned

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 25/08/2022 10:10

I hadn't met you yet!! I can't find any comments I made!

Typical!

She probably took hold of a used trophy and took credit for it
