Yes, but is it touching?

Lweji · 13/02/2020 11:44

Maybe strange car owner has his own parking dramas to deal with on his road.

Ineedanap90 · 13/02/2020 11:39

ooo so excited ..drama update required..where is B?

sunshinesupermum · 13/02/2020 11:23

MNHQ please can we have a pinkdressinggown emoji?

youngestisapsycho · 13/02/2020 11:05

I may have missed it somewhere along the way... is your street a dead end?

SisterFarAway · 13/02/2020 10:45

Just checking in. If B wants to upgrade to a later model of car, I know someone who has a 207 for sale. Slight downside: It is in Germany and a left hand drive. Might make things easier for her parking wise?

I know, I know, that is a lost cause

Is this the longest running parking thread on MN ever?

I hope c gets the prime spot tonight.

Strange Car owner seems to live in the next street. A bit odd but you can access their back gardens from our street so maybe that's easier for him. Or maybe he just enjoys the parking fun Grin

Xpost.

So where was strange car owner? Were they staying at the K's???

MovingBriskyOn · 13/02/2020 08:53

OMG could HGV driver be the one to finally unmask the identity of strange car????

Update, please @originalcatlady

P.s. thank you to the emoji fail posters [thankyou]

It has alerted B that her spot is vacant now so she's out. Because you need to move your car three foot for a few hours Grin

After much horn honking and curtain twitching (some of whom are wearing pink dressing gowns), Strange Car owner was located and truck was rescued. Lots of anger about though!

Can't wait! [popcorn] Where is the pink dressing gown emoji?

MzHz · 13/02/2020 08:27

Can we vote for @originalcatlady to get a CBE? Services to society and defence against cheeky fuckery.

We have a drama unfolding...roadworks on the main road mean people that shouldn't even try to, are coming down our street. There's currently a HGV stuck at the end, half turned and unable to move further. Currently driver is trying to find the owner of Strange Car.

Just need someone to block off M. Does M have a car? If not I don't think its illegal to block a dropped kerb if you're not trapping someone in.

TeetotalKoala · 13/02/2020 07:24

Checking in for thread three. B on lates is the best week. C is my new Alphabet Street hero.

Fink · 13/02/2020 06:07

Thank you originalcatlady for continuing to keep us entertained!

I'll post a non-emoji in solidarity, MovingBriskyOn, don't leave! [tiny car parked badly in big space] Grin

harriethoyle · 13/02/2020 06:05

Place marking!

MovingBriskyOn · 13/02/2020 00:08

Damn. Christmas emoji failure

MovingBriskyOn · 13/02/2020 00:07

Slips into fuchsia pink dressing gown to enjoy 3rd thread.

At this rate, MNHQ are going to need a dressing gown emoji. Perhaps an addition, like the Christmas hats? [Fgrin]

TheMobileSiteMadeMeSignup · 12/02/2020 23:55

Ohhh...thread 3 Grin Wine

@Seasalted
Well, how long did it actually take you to catch up? We've all been here since about Jan 29 or 30, so hopefully you aren't just reading this on Feb 29...although I can't think of a better way to ring in Leap Year. Welcome, hope you like popcornFlowers
