I was IN LOVE with him in the 80s and was convinced I'd marry him.

Turned out I didn't as he married a Danish blonde :( Envy

Uuummmm. Hope you're spelling it Rick Astley or you won't find much ;)

doradaisy · 11/03/2012 00:14

YAbu as is now sounds like you are stalking a random ex Grin

BrianCoxHasScaryHair · 11/03/2012 00:15

Now, being a drunkard like me, I had to read your status a few times and repeat 'Ashley, Ashley, Ashley' a few times, before clickign to tell you it was 'Astley'

But some bugger beat me to it.

I had a dance routine to 'Never Gonna Give You Up' Was amazing.

doradaisy · 11/03/2012 00:17

BrianCoxHasScaryHair · 11/03/2012 00:19

ok, I shall try and illustrate.....

LittleTyga · 11/03/2012 00:19

Wasn't he on tour last year?

BrianCoxHasScaryHair · 11/03/2012 00:22

Never gonna give you up [hands in the air]
Never gonna let you down [hands shakey down]
Never gonna run around and desert you [run round in circle, return to dance position and then shield eyes from sun and 'search']
Never gonna make you cry [dramatic rubbing of eyes]
Never gonna say goodbye [waves]
Never gonna tell a lie [finger to lips and shake head from side to side]
Or hurt you [left hand to right shoulder, right hand to left shoulder]

wishes she were making this up

double wishes she didn't remember the exact routine 23 years on!

doradaisy · 11/03/2012 00:25

Noooo Purple You're doing it wrong.

You need your Grolsch-tops on your faux DM's and your Bros jeans on

(alternative attire is shell suit or lycra shorts and high tops^

BrianCoxHasScaryHair · 11/03/2012 00:29

gah, can't use the Emphasis thingies as am under the influence

PurpleRomanesco · 11/03/2012 00:32

I was a Goff and only ever had knee high DM's. I was a dull fucker.

BrianCoxHasScaryHair · 11/03/2012 00:33

I was about 10/11 when ol' Rickster was in his prime....not sure I knew what a Goff was back then!

Woo Hoo - did it!! :)

WorraLiberty · 11/03/2012 00:34

I passed him in a corridor at the Euro Disney hotel a few years ago

I would have given him your love OP only I wasn't a MN member then Grin

doradaisy · 11/03/2012 00:37

oooh Worra, am happy knowing you now just by association:)

Did he still have the oversized jackets on?

And fluff masquerading as beard?

Was he saying we should've been 'together forever'? (sob)

Yabu
Unless you wanted to slap him.

Sorry Rick , you're probably a great guy, I'd love you if we ever met. Those songs weren't my thing, that's all.

WorraLiberty · 11/03/2012 00:41

He was wearing a (throwback jumper...possibly Pringle)

Clean shaven...smooth as a baby's bum.

He was crying, wailing and sniffling...saying something about doradaisy being the love of his life, if only he could find her.

I didn't think anything of it at the time...but then as I said, I didn't know MN back then Grin

PurpleRomanesco · 11/03/2012 00:42

I wasn't born until a year after Never Going To Give You Up was released but I still love it. A Goff means Goth! I was a creepy little teenager.

doradaisy · 11/03/2012 00:45

Oh worra regret, regret....

WorraLiberty · 11/03/2012 00:47

You win some, you...well restraining orders get in the way Grin

PurpleRomanesco · 11/03/2012 00:52

Do the clocks go forward tonight? Random question. I simply do not believe DP!
