I meant it in the nicest possible way Cunty. Smile This thread has cheered me right up. Althought I am now craving cheesy scones.

CuntyBunty · 01/02/2014 22:13

I know you did Coumarin, it was funny.

Coumarin · 01/02/2014 22:13

Do you have them with butter Rose or more cheese?

I had a boyfriend once, who used to make cheese sandwiches and as well as solid cheese, he would use cheesy spread as "the butter" to make it extra cheesy.

Coumarin · 01/02/2014 22:19

Was the bread just extra thick slices of cheese too?

Mmmm cheesy.

RoseRedder · 01/02/2014 22:20

well put it this way.

If someone creams on my scones I'll be phoning the pervert police

I know this it's wrong, but this thread has reminded me that I took delivery of a neighbours parcel around Christmas time AND STILL HAVE IT. I knocked a few times, then presumed they were away for the holidays. I put the box in the closet thinking they'd have a card through their door and come for it when they got back. I don't know these neighbours, it's several houses down. Anyway, I totally forgot, will try them again in the morning and then return to sender Monday if no news from the neighbours. On the other hand, I could open it and see I'd I would like to keep the item...

differentnameforthis · 01/02/2014 22:50

I haven't fucking stolen it

Yes, you have. You took something from their property (albeit outside of it, but it was clearly on their property) and haven't made any effort (other than a note, weeks ago) to give it back.

Now you want to open it.

Did you REALLY leave a note, or do you really want this parcel for yourself??

CuttedUpPear · 01/02/2014 22:52

Read the thread different

Sparklingbrook · 01/02/2014 22:53

different have you read the thread? All is well. The bald neighbour is alive and well and taken delivery of the shampoo.

RoseRedder · 01/02/2014 23:01

the neighbour man is gorgeous.....bald but gorgeous

I'd happily rub the hair growing shampoo into his head

Lifesgreat, you have to return the parcel with a scone now that OP has upped the ante. If you haven't got a cheesy scone, a normal one would be fine, I'm sure.

RoseRedder · 01/02/2014 23:25

but we exchanged Christmas card ergo he loves me too Grin

I bloody love this thread, it's kept me entertained. Loving the happy ending even more. It turns out you are an angel OP. I wish you were my neighbour.

Marnieshere · 01/02/2014 23:43

This is fucking hilarious!! Grin

lifesgreatquestions · 02/02/2014 21:04

Thanks for that kind offer OP, wish that I could. I just wanted to say that it is with thanks to this thread that I narrowly escaped parcel theft. Neighbours were in. Package safely in their hands. AND... breathe.

SarahAndFuck · 02/02/2014 21:21

"You can't steal from dead people

Even if they're bald"

Grin

You can though, that's why they call it grave robbing. Although I don't know what kind of baked good you might leave after robbing a grave. Maybe an angel cake?

BuzzardBird · 02/02/2014 21:26

That would be "shave, grave robbing" Grin

SarahAndFuck · 02/02/2014 21:34

Buzzed Grin

I love that leaving a baked good might be a reasonable response to an issue like this.

The next time someone parks in the P&C spaces without a baby at our local supermarket I'm going to balance a Fat Rascal on their car bonnet.

BuzzardBird · 02/02/2014 21:58

Love it Fat Rascal on their car brilliant Grin
