I can't believe we're on 7.

In need to go and catch up on the last couple of pages of 6.

Still no CFN OR ANYONE.

I'm thinking someone will be there tomorrow. HOPEFULLY.

A little ditty courtesy of The Doors.

You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Barry tried to run
Julie tried to hide
But they Broke on through to the other side
Broke on through to the other side
Broke on through to the other side, yeah
They chased their builders there
Dug out listed treasures there
But can you still recall
The time they cried when they
Broke on through to the other side
Broke on through to the other side

Yeah!
C'mon, yeah

Everybody loves the planners
Everybody loves the planner

Made a scene
Week to week
Day to day
Hour to hour
The doors weren’t straight
Too deep and wide
They broke on through to the other side
Broke on through to the other side
Broke on through
Broke on through
Broke on through
Broke on through
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

WilburWeathervane That poncho is stylin' but what about my pockets???

Idratherhaveacupoftea · 30/07/2017 22:37

I'm retired, I have all the time in the world to read this. 😀

Morning! C8H10N4O2 I've taken the liberty of Flagging some of those countries whilst i"m here, is that OK?

Glad What has had a relatively peaceful day and I haven't missed to much by sleeping but cannot wait for SpanGran (TM) Grin

Henry V soliliquoy was fabulous, and were all the other songs and sagas... that list is really quite something. Love your work.

Right, I need to a large Brew and to gird my loins. It's going to be a long day.

thenightsky · 30/07/2017 22:40

Idratherhaveacupoftea ,me too Grin

C8H10N4O2 · 30/07/2017 22:43

Morning @iborgia - oh please yes do those flags, I'm really not good at them

Excellent timing - I need to zzzzzz soon as I have work tomorrow. Not entirely sure how I will cope with prolonged periods away from the excitement.

We now have 35 countries (although some need to share flags) but sadly still no Korea and no Maui. I live in hope!

OxfordshireLass · 30/07/2017 22:44

Thinking of scheduling a couple of "meetings" at work tomorrow so that I can keep up with this. I can't possibly get through a full day without updates.

PrancerForHoney · 30/07/2017 22:45

Just leaving this here.

I think all new songs are added - am in awe of the filking and poetic skills here. Let me know if I’ve missed you.

Academic analyses of threads also there along with artworks, UPPOV members and Partay/Rogues galleries.

Everytime I add a new member of UPPOV Spiderman’s arse catches me in the eye.

Some of the songs still need an example from YouTube to add to the item notes on Trello. I do like to think of the massed ranks of Mumsnet singing the filks at home with the backing track going.

Do we have a madrigal yet?

justilou1 · 30/07/2017 22:47

Well that was subtle...
Sorry. I have no idea what I'm doing!

C8H10N4O2 · 30/07/2017 22:48

Oxfordshirelass I may have added one or two short meetings to my calendar tomorrow...

MipMipMip · 30/07/2017 22:53

Can anyone do a mumsnet/CFN rap battle? preferably for real and posted in youtube. I haven't the skills sadly.

Loving all the entries so far - too many to name all personally so I bow down to you all.

lborgia · 30/07/2017 22:54

Justilou! - isn't that how we all start the day in Oz?! With a great big "WE'RE HEERREEE" Grin

C8H10N4O2 - I'm sure Faith will be along in a bit, but I"ll keep an eye out. Fortunately awful mother DS has a bad cold so I might have to stay home with him...

Treble28 · 30/07/2017 22:54

I went out (I know the shame) and was trying to explain to DH where we had got to. He laughed at me when I kept saying "We" should get emails tomorrow, "We" need to take the tape off etc..... this had become all encompassing! Can't wait for updates.

Oh and DH suggested a shed in front of the doors.

blacksax · 30/07/2017 22:56

Do we have a madrigal yet?
If things carry on like this, we will be needing a Christmas carol Grin

C8H10N4O2 · 30/07/2017 22:58

@blacksax

Way ahead of you trello.com/c/CkqOSXq4/26-cfn-christmas-song-in-which-things-get-festive

Although if we had more we could release a Christmas Album.

And of course the Charity Single

What time does your Abuela arrive?

@lborgia - yes, Ms Borgia - just like the kookaburras!!!

KoalasAteMyHomework · 30/07/2017 23:00

Christmas number 1 here we come!!
And what happened to the bouncy castle? Surely that would be a perfect set piece for the music vid....

safariboot · 30/07/2017 23:00

I don't think we've had any grime yet? So with apologies to Dizzee Rascal

I wake up everyday look my garden,
It belongs to my flat it ain't common,
I wake up just to dress and go outside,
But now the neighbours mean I must hide.

And all I care about is peace and private,
A new door well I shan't take that,
Did I say that it's a listed building?
Council know and now they're fuming.

Some Cheeky Fucker Neighbours,
They won't get off scot free,
Man I'm just postin online,
And Mumsnet all got behind me.

Some neighbours think I'm new,
But I've been here for years,
Man I'm just postin online,
And Mumsnet all got behind me.

Bloody hell. Just came on for an update from Friday and got diverted to trello:..every day is a school day!

C8H10N4O2 · 30/07/2017 23:00

Considering the lustrous Abuela is joining us tomorrow with her Paella Pan I was wondering if anyone fancied doing Y Viva Espana or Una Paloma Blanca

Just in case you didn't have enough earworms...
