It was clearly a troll on the wind up from the original post and contents. Why was it allowed to rumble on for 2 days and then be deleted?

Can we add Lonely Soul by Unkle?

I believe there's a time and a place
To let your mind drift and get out of this place
I believe there's a day and a place
That we will go to and I know you wanna share
There's no secret to living
Just keep on walking
There's no secret to dying
Just keep on flying
I'm gonna die in a place that don't know my name
I'm gonna die in a space that don't hold my fame
Just keep on flying

@BigButtons did you ever manage to move house in the end?

I have exchanged and am completing on weds! It’s been a very long haul for no good reason apart from incompetent estate agents and solicitors. Current living of gin and 4 hours sleep🫠🤪

@BenWeatherstaff it's something my best friend says and I've adopted it.

Thanks for replying. I had a room mate who said it. Took me right back to that madness! The sheep, who were also the badger, were called lemon and lime. Wondered if there was a common source 😂

I clearly missed a corker.

Love the Isle of Wight as well.

You're going to die in a place that has concrete bunkers and a fucking CURTAIN.

Insanely, she's about to call me because her ties are misbehaving again so I'll ask her then.

Nobody can stop you attending the reunion tour on the IOW. I imagine you'll get the guys of it whilst we cry into various beverages and say things like: 40-50k car...in....the wrong....colour. Pearl necklace......

I wish I could explain. I wish anyone could explain. We lost 2 days of our lives to this nonsense. 😀

BigButtons · 03/08/2023 06:34

I had a brief need to tell my partner about that thread. I wanted to share the lunacy. I attempted to form sentences in my mind explaining what it was about and then realised that would have been impossible so I stayed silent. Only those who were there could know.

MrsSamR · 03/08/2023 06:41

@wutheringkites @Beenhereforever1978 when are we heading to the IOW? I've pressed my gown and polished my pearls and I am reaaaady!

wutheringkites · 03/08/2023 08:53

@MrsSamR

I can't tell you where we're going. It's a surprise.

Pack your gown, pearls, bikini and ski suit. The journey will take 38 hours.

Beenhereforever1978 · 03/08/2023 10:57

Via Istanbul

It was utter genius

”no hair off my back” is my favourite ever expression

NoImnotcalledIgglePiggle · 03/08/2023 12:08

We've just moved house (and countries) so have been without internet for a few days. Very sorry to have missed what sounds like an excellent thread!

You might not get the keys for 2 months as well. Because of the deeds you see...

Beenhereforever1978 · 03/08/2023 14:06

We're supposed to be going for @MrsSamR 40th but that's not for ages.

October?
