old man with telescope trained on my daughters bedroom window!!!!

[OnlyHereForTheCamping]

Apparently it's ok cos he is half a world away aibu to buy thicker curtains for my dd's window?

oh no another bloody tearjerker, I am soooo Laaame

Hang on... did she use helium balloons.

She should be given a good telling off for wasting a precious resource and causing interplanetary littering.

Good point on the helium. My dd brings nothing but shame upon me

WHERE ARE THE PARENTS IN ALL OF THIS???

The child is being groomed!!!

Ask the police to go round to talk to him. The journey might cost the national policing budget for many years but YANBU.

Not victim blaming here, but I'm pretty sure she started it...

^this. Have a word with your special snowflake about privacy and boundaries

Screeeeeeeerrch
I must be a freak because I like Oasis but that screeeeeeching is dire

Quick call SS grooming of a minor and the murder of a song.

I see what you did there.

The news are onto him!

Oh I love Mumsnet!!

Fucking John Lewis ads. That is how I imagine my poor dad must feel. He has dementia and is rapidly becoming more and more removed from the rest of us as he can speak much or understand.

I was hoping for a fun ad this year - given the song a Royale Family type scenario.

John Lewis, please stop breaking my heart.

Sorry for being Buzz Killington

Just what I was thinking! Why couldn't they have used the Oasis one?

It has taken me a long time to work out this thread.

What a horribly sad advert. So many people are alone at Christmas, and he gets a fucking telescope so he can watch all the fun being had by everyone else while he is alone? Not to mention that YET AGAIN a great song has been ruined by a stupid slow whiny voice.

I hate JL Christmas ads.

He's on his own because his children are all examples of selfish MNers who want Christmas with just their partners and kids - the world is going to shit I tell ya (is it too soon for a Snowball?)

Personally I'd be more concerned about where she got the money to buy the telescope in the first place. Did she steal it or did you knowingly consent to her sending the man a telescope? If she stole it I think you have bigger issues that can't be solved by simply closing the curtains.

The science is annoyingly crap.

TPel yes. On a serious note, it made me miss my grandparents. Which is probably just what the bastards wanted.

I wanted her to grow up and become an astronaut and travel to the moon and give him a pressie

Exactly what Tpei said; MIL has Alzehiemers, and this really does just bring home how isolated and scared she feels. Don't like it at all, Christmas adverts should be happy and cheerful.

He looked through a lot of Windows to find the girl.

at he's on his own because his family are all mumsnetters having a nuclear Christmas

He is on his own because he was more interested in golf, he is now searching for missing balls.
