as in STOLLEN cake?

LaurieFairyCake · 31/01/2014 22:29

You can't steal from dead people

Even if they're bald Grin

Now you've opened it you can put the shampoo through the letterbox - it will fit right?

TheseAreTheJokesFolks · 31/01/2014 22:29

Ah Rose - I went from thinking of you as you little teef, but now I think of you as a benevolent bad Santa xx

I AM NOT A THEIF
No, you're not. A thief is someone who takes things that don't belong to them.
Er, hang on a minute...

TheseAreTheJokesFolks · 31/01/2014 22:36

Antlers Grin i realised afterwards North South difference in pronunciation might not read them right. Have you marked your papers yet?! (Now I sound like a Jiminy Cricket Stalker)

Ashamed APPLAUSE

I hope the neighbours get their treat. Another neighbour getting the munchies and swiping it really would be taking the biscuit scone.

Rosie no swiping Rosie no swiping OH MAN!!!!!

BadgersNadgers · 31/01/2014 22:41

Have you opened it? Is it a dictionary?

TheseAreTheJokesFolks · 31/01/2014 22:45

It was shampoo, not real poo.

Tallforadwarf · 31/01/2014 22:48

Badgers, read the bloody thread! It was special hair growing shampoo for her now dead bald neighbours (maybe?) and the OP is possibly facing a jail term for being a thief. Her neighbours will be so ashamed.

Madrigalgrey · 31/01/2014 22:50

Would you have kept it had the contents been more to your liking I wonder...

I had similar problem, and did also open the parcel, but only with the intention of discovering the sender details, who I then emailed to arrange collection/redelivery.

TheseAreTheJokesFolks · 31/01/2014 22:51

And Rose has put it back with a *cherry scone on top.

She lives in a hood, she is Robin The Hood.

Ahem these are indeed the jokes and I'm here all week, try the veal

*Fortunately twas cheese not cherry so less likely to be nicked as
a) usually you steal someone's cherry
b) SAVOURY SCONES ARE WRONG

MidniteScribbler · 31/01/2014 22:52

If I were the neighbour, that scone would freak me right out.

Tallforadwarf · 31/01/2014 23:00

Savoury scones are the best!

Famzilla · 31/01/2014 23:06

Ahahaha.

Better hope those drug dealing thieves haven't got the munchies.

kali110 · 31/01/2014 23:10

Is this s pisstake????

TheseAreTheJokesFolks · 31/01/2014 23:14

Midnite Me too* but I can't help thinking about it and pissing myself.
It's just so random. Oh here's that shampoo, I've been waiting for that for ages. Wait..what's that?
It appears to have come with a free scone.
Ooh there's a note.

Sorry I opened your parcel you bald bastard. Fill your face, we'll say no more about it.

[Cheese dreams]

Neighbours, Everybody needs bald neighbours
With shampoos, toupees and patience
You can find the perfect weaves
But Neighbours...will be there to grab the parcels
That's when good neighbours become good thieves

salsmum · 31/01/2014 23:17

So did you open the parcel RoseRedder? or is this a windup??? Hmm

K8Middleton · 31/01/2014 23:19

Sorry I opened your parcel you bald bastard. Fill your face, we'll say no more about it.
