I know I'm not being unreasonable about this parking!!! (with diagram)

But I thought I'd share anyway.

This happens on our street a LOT and I just don't understand how people can be so inconsiderate, the gap between the wing mirror and wall isn't big enough for a child to slip through and the car is so huge it blocks pedestrians from seeing whats coming without stepping into the road.
Not to mention that he's parked on a T-junction.

GRR!

A good night so far, Tinker Bell has got off with Harry Potter and DeadPool has stolen my unicorn.

Bloody Vlad and Vanka.

bingbongnoise · 13/01/2018 22:59

I have also asked MN to consider this for CLASSICS Grin

FlashTheSloth · 13/01/2018 22:54

I want to go to a fantasy themed fancy dress party! Just so I can wear that spectacular unicorn costume and prance about (thankfully without camel toe).

I hope you fully inflated and pranced about proudly in Tesco OP! 😁

Bowerbird5 · 13/01/2018 22:30

First time I have met Vlad and Vanka. Do they realise you can get toffee vodka in the north!

Would have loved to have been at the Tesco. My friend has the cowboy and pony ( express) OP.
Wonders what OP was buying in TESCO 😉 thinking about what she said she was going to stock up with hmm😉😉 say no more.

Look out for badly parked four wheeled untaxed cars in Tesco car park OP. You never know!

What a funny, funny thread.

londonrach · 13/01/2018 21:37

Good re the classics...i reported it the mn just after i posted for classics and their enjoyment. They loved the unicorns

AirandMungBeans · 13/01/2018 21:32

This hands down wins the best thread ever award. So, so much gold. Ride proud on your steed tonight OP!

WheresTheHooferDoofer · 13/01/2018 20:59

The camel toe had me sniggering. And Ashby isn't too far away from me.....

Have fun at the party, OP.

MaximaDeWit · 13/01/2018 20:37

Hope you're having fun at the party, OP.

I've spent my Saturday night catching up on this thread.

When you were standing in the spot where CF's car was selfishly parked you didn't happen to notice any recently dropped cigarette butts or chewing gum? Perhaps DNA profiling would help us track down CF

Best Thread Ever

dadshere the car's gone now.

dadshere · 13/01/2018 20:29

Go to a hardware store, buy 1 packet of short tacks. Place 1 behind and 1 in front of each tyre. Enjoy a cup of tea and a biscuit.

Imsorrynow · 13/01/2018 20:25

Fabulous from start to finish. Thanks OP Flowers

Mistydampandwet · 13/01/2018 20:00

I do hope she went to Ashby DLZ in the unicorn there is an outside chance she might meet my EH MIL who would be horrified!

BoreOfWhabylon · 13/01/2018 19:50

PS MNHQ have advised me that they are submitting the thread for consideration by the Classics Committee.

They were particularly taken by the Unicorn.

BoreOfWhabylon · 13/01/2018 19:48

This is the thread that just keeps on giving.

Vlad and Vanka Grin

Perfection.

OP, you missed a trick by not getting the Daily Mail round before CFP disappeared. I can just picture the DM article, with you in full sadface and pointing to the CF car, whilst wearing the unicorn costume.

(I do think V&V should have a Vlog)

HonkyWonkWoman · 13/01/2018 19:47

Fab -you- luss!! This is the best thread ever! It has warmed the cockles of my heart. I salute you OP and bow to all you lovely, crazy Mn'ers.

ObiJuanKenobi · 13/01/2018 19:35

I've just read the thread in its glorious entirety, can we nominate it for classics?

I nearly wet myself on at least two occasions Grin

CariadAur · 13/01/2018 19:34

How on earth did the thread get to THIS point elfycat?!!

"No one likes flaccid"

I swear... This thread has made my week!!!

SexLube...

"flaccid horn"*

Oh my gosh...!!! I can't breathe!!!

LunchBoxPolice · 13/01/2018 19:22

It does look less like you are riding the unicorn and more like you are shagging it.

52FestiveRoad · 13/01/2018 19:17

I was wondering what is wrong with the OP's neighbours too. Most places I have lived they would have been all out there at the first sign of the police, trying to find out what was going on, everyone gossiping with everyone else about everything, putting the general world to rights whilst waiting for developments. A bit like a real life version of this thread actually. OP and her neighbours sound very restrained, just one Russian man (and dog) and an angry middle aged gentleman. Its no good OP, your neighbourhood needs to embrace nosiness and turn everything into an opportunity for a street party. With unicorns of course.

KateGrey · 13/01/2018 19:13

This has been so very beautiful!

HicDraconis · 13/01/2018 19:10

@SchadenfreudePersonified
