Can I be an honorary IOWer as PIL have a flat there and we use it lots and lots?

I am absolutely not going to drive round Ryde on Friday looking for bollards and red faced bin ladies

Marking my spot just to see if "OhMama Bin Lady" decides she 'has' to leave her car overnight just one more time due to 'no available parking'. I don't know the parking situation on IoW, but how easy will it be to find a space after the workday ends and everyone rushes home from work?

Delurking to wave across the water :)
I can offer my support come and be nosy around 5.30pm...wonders whether or not I'll be able to find a parking space if bring dc and car Wink

(I'm avoiding doing my homework)

I want my space free
I want my space free
I want my space from your car
You're so self satisfied I don't need it
I want my space free
God knows, God knows I want my space free.

I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love with some bollards
this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love,
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love.

It's strange but it's true
I can't get over the way you rage me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh how I want my space free, baby
Oh how I want my space free,
Oh how I want my space free.

But life still goes on
I can get used to, living without, living without,
Living without you by my side
I don't want to see your car here,
God knows, got to make it all my own
So baby can't you see
I want my space free.

I want my space free
I want my space free, yeah
I want, I want, I want, I want my space free.

If any thread deserves a song, it's this one.

It's such a shame the weather's shite and it's a work day. I'm sure loads of MNers would have loves a trip to the IoW for a tea party to christen your new garden space.

I'm seeing bunting, cupcakes and a massive cheer/jeer and slow handclap as bin lady finally moves her car.

I'm willing to bet she won't be there till 5.45 just to 'have the last word'

JerseySpud · 17/02/2014 16:47

We could always move FuckFest from Chris' field to yours next year OP

Fluffycloudland77 · 17/02/2014 18:08

Place marking. I wish I had wine.

LadySybilVimes · 17/02/2014 18:08

I have just read right through both threads.

Now I am also eagerly awaiting the next update.

Did Bin Lady come for her car at 5.30? Did she create a scene? Did you manage to locate your BIL?

Greenkit · 17/02/2014 18:09

any update
