even though I'm not the OP?

We can't leave it there!

I think what's getting you all vexed and upset is you've confused "asking questions" with "troll hunting". And then you've got even more muddled in your little head and decided that asking questions involves "hoiking".

I think the reason desolate (and someone else?) asked for photos was just to sort out who was joking from who was serious. She possibly not even that serious herself. You reall do need to unclench Smile

Well I'm waiting with baited breath for a photo of Caz / Caro / Caroline...

Manumission · 11/01/2017 08:26

If I could draw, I'd have saved time and started on an artist's impress by now chipped.

JanuaryMoods · 11/01/2017 08:36

I'm not the one clenching, though, Manumission. I'm just enjoying the thread and being somewhat irritated by irrelevant posts getting in the way of the narrative.

It's the troll hunters who have their knickers up their bums.

SalemSaberhagen · 11/01/2017 08:41

(although I nearly spat my breakfast out at "bosom hoiking")

No, no you didn't.

This saga has been amazing and as an added bonus, i have just spent a mind boggling evening with 'Super Soaker TM'. What a bonus read!

SnotGoblin · 11/01/2017 08:50

p.s. my money is on the electronic gate being on the Spanish property.

xStefx · 11/01/2017 08:51

Tanito279 · 11/01/2017 09:41

Anyone parked on the drive today?

Manumission · 11/01/2017 09:45

More to the point where is the original OP? Hmm

KitKat1985 · 11/01/2017 09:46

Right, let's get back to business.

Birdladyfromhomealone what's going on today? Any cheeky gits on your drive? Did Nicolarse ever come around? Are you going to confront him? What about Cuntaline? If you get penguin bollards will you post us a picture? Did CherryChasingDotMuncher have her baby yet?

Gahhh! So many unanswered questions!!!

Manumission · 11/01/2017 09:49

Expat you found the original IOW penguin bollard threads! 😍TY!

If there's a new car on the driveway, someone should go and check the boot for birds

CaroleService · 11/01/2017 09:54

I expect OP is at work till 4

imsoexcited0000 · 11/01/2017 10:01

I can report that all is quiet this morning, sadly. The OP has put a piece of tape across the drive, (it certainly isn't a penguin bollard). There are no cars on the drive.

The carer arrived, and has parked on the single yellow line outside Nicholarse's house using a disabled badge.

OhSuckItUpDucky · 11/01/2017 10:09

Thank you imso
Does it look like a police cordon ?

Bettyspants · 11/01/2017 10:15

Imso have you introduced yourself to bird? And can someone tell me how to get a user name in bold?!!

SalemSaberhagen · 11/01/2017 10:19

I thought there were chains yesterday, imso.

SalemSaberhagen · 11/01/2017 10:19

Betty you put their name without the gaps.

wishparry · 11/01/2017 10:25

I had so much to do today.but it looks like reading old threads about penguin bollards,Mexican house thiefs and water pistols is aĺl I will achieve Grin

Ginandtonic100 · 11/01/2017 10:28

It was me (imso's friend) who reported the chain yesterday - I was driving past at 6ish and couldn't really make it out properly in the dark. I attempted to walk past on the way home from the school run, but I was with and acquaintance who knows where I live (so knows there's no reason for me to walk they way), but who I don't know well enough to admit how over involved I've become in an Internet thread!!

sillygoof · 11/01/2017 10:47

The original OP has probably gone - she's probably freaked out by strangers stalking her home! Nice as it is that you're updating us, it must feel weird to have your anonymity disappear and people to drive past your house to check out what's going on.
