to invite the Nicolarse and Buntline crowd to this thread

[chocolateworshipper]

even though I'm not the OP?

We can't leave it there!

Thanks for relieving my Liftzilla agony: I also assumed it was elevator related! all round!

Those of you asking how the OP got a doctors appointment so quickly, my doctors run walk in sessions everyday. I realise how lucky I am to have such instant access to my GP.

I thought liftzilla was the one were the OP had been giving a lift to a colleague who was a nightmare and when she didn't want to do it anymore. The person Got the right hump with her as apparently she took the job as someone in management said that OP would give her a lift in.
It was a while ago.

The best thread in the last few years was either the Mexican house thief, penguin bollards or the poo pouffee. IMO.

Once again I am begging for an irony emoji.

The carer told Birds that Caroline lives opposite and has three cars. She must be easy to identify. Why hasn't Birds just crossed the road and spoken to her?

Mexican house thief?

I'm thoroughly confused. Was the car in the drive thread fake? I'm disappointed if that's the case and maybe I need time off from reading about everyone's exciting lives.

@birdladyfromhomealone

Did anyone actually get penguin bollards? I just googled them thinking they were some kind of joke but they exist! Well, you learn something new every day...

It's good the photos were deleted. I think I could hazard a guess as to where it was although I'm not sure🤔. (St.... ?) It's a reminder that you should always change a few details.....but not too many otherwise you might get accused of being a troll 😂

Tricky I think she said she'd walked along the street and couldn't see the car so doesn't know exactly where Caroline lives.

I thought Nicholas was completely in the wrong but I thought posting an identifying picture of his garden was a step too far. Especially as we know these posts are click fodder for journalists. Seems like Caroline got off lightly in comparison yet I thought she was even more cheeky!

What was / is the Mexican house thief? I remember the penis beaker one, didn't know it was fake though !?!?!?

Wanting an update here ...... is there a chain now? Has Caroline been found?

The whole H&H tangent just makes me think of Notting Hill 😂😂

OP sounds like my friends SIL....... now wouldn't that be a funny coincidence if it were!

I think parking threads should have their own topic section..

Not because I don't like them, but because I luffs them and won't miss any!

mexican house thief was a mnetter who had a holiday home in Mexico. She had a neighbour who used to borrow all her stuff and once was allowed to use the holiday home. Sneaky sod cut the keys and used it as his holiday home when she wasn't there and was discovered by the owners family

Shall I just mention that there are currently two houses for sale on the road, you'd be able to watch OP's drive from both of them ....

This is all well and good but I want Cherrysoup back. She's my favourite.

where are you?

Is it just me that needs to know more about this Caroline woman who left the car there overnight & moved it without apologising!! Birds MUST surely speak to this woman to find out WTF. She thinks she's doing?!

No Kate we all pleaded and begged and cajoled the OP and showed her all sorts of novelty bollards and she joked about getting a penguin one for her DS in the BACK garden as a kind of large alternative gnome. But I don't think it happened.

I liked the creepy children bollards myself.

Isla I'm inclined to believe what she posted in substance was genuine, I didn't see that she posted anything really ott that I'd be suspicious about but who knows? I had to leave so missed it all when it went down but here's what I've gathered from reading the thread and this one.

The OP posted pics which were identifying apparently and had them removed. Some posters got disgruntled because the update took several posts over several pages, a hamfisted attempt to string it out maybe but I'm not sure it deserved the backlash the OP got.

Then, or maybe before ( it all got a bit confused), a poster or a bunch of posters with some unspoken thing against the OP (maybe because of something in her posting history to do with other properties she may or may not own) got all decked out in their Billy Goat Gruff superhero costumes and headed off to another bridge forum the OP was hiding under is a member of and went back and forth with her there. Then they came back here and patted themselves on the back a lot. I'm assuming they finally slew the imaginary troll so the denizens of MN can sleep soundly in their beds tonight. Or some such.

So.... what's been happening?

I can't believe this developed in to something more.

I assumed soexcited and gin were the same person and it was someone mucking about. But no, it was even stranger. Two actual people who know this street!

No, not that strange, given that one explained that she'd been alerted by the other.

People who think they've done some terribly clever detective work/trollhunting and rush to publish it on the thread always come over as rather needy. There are major overtones of "Look at me, look how clever I am" about it.

Well if some of the irritation was that there were discrepancies Euro, let's say, and NOT just the drip feed (hypothetically) then nobody can see it now because the OP had her posts all deleted for no apparent reason and nobody who DID see it would be able to reference it because of troll hunting rules.

If that were the case, anyone such as yourself who was being derisively dismissive of the eyebrows despite missing it all would risk looking a bit silly.

Hypothetically
