It is 10.30 am here. They are still in bed while I clean up the kitchen and supervise the DC's homework.

They have not got up and out of the house before 11:30am this week.

I have lots to do and cannot fo it cause it is either in cellar where the guest room is or noisy.

The hand is hovering over the iPod obviously. The iPad is not loud enough.

Good call I think.

Back in Black, yes?

MmeLindt · 06/10/2010 09:26

Or Celine Dion

How about loud, more motivational music? I'd go for Basement Jaxx "Do Your Thing" or maybe Outkast "Hey Ya".

I'm leaning towards Dirt Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, actually.

loopyloops · 06/10/2010 09:26

No, not Celine Dion, that's just mean.

Who are these guests anyway?

Friends? You can't inflict Celine Dion on friends.

MmeLindt · 06/10/2010 09:29

Friends of DH.

Aside from not getting up in the morning they have been decent guests actually.

Just irks me when I have so much to do and am forced to hang about.

Go for it, but rock would be a bit... obvious. Go with something morning-y but quite loud.

morethanyoubargainfor · 06/10/2010 09:32

I dont think it is ever unreasonable to play ACDC at top volume, Go for it!!

Have chosen cheery Luther Vandross.

I did hesitate as I skimmed past Led Zeppelin.

Have you got any Ministry? Something like TV II should get 'em up.

TheCoalitionNeedsYou · 06/10/2010 09:36

Which album?

TheCoalitionNeedsYou · 06/10/2010 09:37

I'd go for Slayer myself.

Havingkittens · 06/10/2010 09:38

Psalm 69

upahill · 06/10/2010 09:38

Play fuck the world by Turbonegro. It rocks and I bet it'll get them shifted!!

loopyloops · 06/10/2010 09:39

Oh dear.

AbsofCroissant · 06/10/2010 09:41

They up yet?

MmeLindt · 06/10/2010 09:46

Still not up.

Have cleaned up kitchen and noticed that we have rolls or bread left. Will have to go to bakers. Arghhhh. It is Wednesday. Baker closed. Shit shit shit

If your going to go for Industrial then 'Screaming Slave' by Nine Inch Nails.

Or 'Hamburger Lady' by Throbbing Gristle, but that might just give them nightmares instead of waking them up.

MaudOHara · 06/10/2010 09:50

YANBU lazy feckers

TheCoalitionNeedsYou · 06/10/2010 09:52

Maybe 'Meat Abstract' by Therapy?

"Wake up!
Time to die."
