Someone threatened my allotment.

I was sat in my allotment, minding my own business, having just potted some beansprouts and some mad couple come bowling over to me demanding I move my chair and leave their allotment!

I'd only just settled in with my voddy & orange in a Stanley Cup and a copy of Take A Break.

Weather was 19° and not muddy at all.

They said its their land! I said it bloody ruddy is not, I've been here 10 years and I put this bloody ruddy shed here myself. It cost me £89 from B&Q. And I had to pay someone from the face book £40 to put it up too. In cash!

AIBU to think finders keepers, losers weepers?? If they wanted the land they shouldn't have waited 3 months to come visit, even if it had been pissing it down for months and who in their right mind would bother with checking an allotment in a pissy February right after moving and being ill too?

I'm currently going through my paper bin to find some cardboard to make some signs saying 'Big Barbara's Beansprouts, keep away'
And tonight I'm going hedgehog hunting so I can strategically place the prickly bastards on leads around the perimeter of MY land.

The cheek of some people!

(Dear MNHQ this is satire and for a laugh. For legal reasons I am not in fact Big Barb and have no intentions of tethering hedgehogs. Please don't call the RSPCA)

Why are some reporting it?
I swear some people are so bloody miserable.
If you don't find it funny, scroll past surely

@LadyWiddiothethird what a joy vacuum you are. Surely you could just read another thread not spoil the fun of those enjoying it. I’ve had a shit of a day, found out some very upsetting news health wise and this thread made me laugh. It’s not exactly hurting anyone is it? 🤷🏻‍♀️

What a jobsworth 🙄🙄🙄

TheSilentSister · 12/04/2024 20:07

Oh Barbs, you'll have a film crew knocking on your door soon offering you your own TV series. You'll earn enough to buy all the allotments you want.

@BigBarbara

well you didn't. It makes no sense & isnt funny, it's just annoying.

Yes she did. Lighten up, fun sponge!

Bloody brilliant 🤣🤣🤣

@BigBarbara I had some bad news today and this made me laugh. I needed that, thank you, humour is the best medicine, ignore the humourless gits.

So Big Barbara, diagram or it didn’t happen 😅, where is the shed? Where do you drink your tea from your Stanley cup? Have you ever written in to ‘Take a Break’ with a hot tip on how to turn a cheese grater into a earrings stand?

ClairDeLaLune · 12/04/2024 19:56

Brilliant @BigBarbara 😂😂🤣🤣 Ignore the misery-gutses saying otherwise.

Wa just trying to be a bit silly and raise a smile :(

Was reading that thread earlier, so this one made me laugh 😁
You just seem to have attracted the Fun Police for some reason 😁

Over40Overdating · 12/04/2024 19:47

Hey @BigBarbara I’ve found those staking sticks you lost! They’re lodged up the arses of several posters on this thread!

BunniesRUs · 12/04/2024 19:45

Oh Barbara, you can't just take land that isn't yours!

No it's not funny.

It hasn't been 19 degrees in Yorkshire today. It's been 15 tops.
