Okay I thought I'd start this for when they inevitably show their faces!!

Sorry all the threads have different titles Confused

I have a slight update - I managed to catch the nice neighbour at the other side (I think he'd heard the commotion and was loitering about waiting for me Grin )

He was gobsmacked! Apparently he's lived here for thirty years and has never heard anything like it. I told him I'd keep him updated and he asked if i wanted to come in for a cup of tea, I politely declined hahahah. Glad I now have a nice normal neighbour on my side!

What on earth did you not get straight round there? I thought your friend was coming to give moral support?

madcapcat · 28/07/2017 19:11

And who can we cast as supportive friend Waves? I see her as a Charlotte Coleman type (though obviously still with us....)

Cookiesandcake · 28/07/2017 19:12

Also it's going to be on to thread four soon haha

MissFitton · 28/07/2017 19:13

No only do you need to recruit the man in the shop but you need to set up a communication system with him involving old tins and string so he can tell you when they've arrived.

"The BlackBird is in the nest, I repeat, the Blackbird is in the nest". That sort of thing.

Can I suggest Neil Morrissey or Danny Dyer as newdaddie?

Slimthistime · 28/07/2017 19:15

"Should we tell the man in the shop?"

I would - he might know something about the CFNs which could actually be helpful. I say this because I used to have a corner shop guy who was the font of all knowledge, everyone loved him and told him everything. He's probably written some kind of "urban secrets" book by now!!

LakieLady · 28/07/2017 19:15

Maxine Peake might be good for Supportive Friend, madcap.

gingergenius · 28/07/2017 19:15

@StressExpress was thinking more of the guy who played 'grant Mitchell' !!!

Changebagsandgladrags · 28/07/2017 19:16

DH came home from an awful day at work and asked if there was any news. I was tempted to tell him all about CFN, the goose and the penis...

Mummyoflittledragon · 28/07/2017 19:16

Danny Dyer. He will play himself as usual, I imagine.

Vango · 28/07/2017 19:17

Timothy Spall's the man in the shop. Definitely.

wotabastard · 28/07/2017 19:18

Nah newdaddie is Trevor from Eastenders when he was on coach trip. Grin

wheelsortyres · 28/07/2017 19:18

TheRollingCrone · 28/07/2017 19:18

Why have CFN not come round?!?

You should be sitting in your lovely garden wattyyy never mind the rain

PlumFairy2014 · 28/07/2017 19:19

Is it cheeky fucker neighbours? I told DH it was cunty fucking neighbours, but his version makes more sense. Perhaps.

didn't newdaddie say he was 'physically imposing' ? Grin

Vango · 28/07/2017 19:19

For casting purposes I'm channeling Richard Curtis.

StressExpress · 28/07/2017 19:19

Ginger - think Grant can't do the whine needed when talking about his 'privilege' Grin

Wonders71 · 28/07/2017 19:19

Would love to see cfn faces when they come home! 😂

TidyDancer · 28/07/2017 19:20

Oh come on home CFN! This is the most exciting part of my Friday night! DP is working and I'm at home with emmerdale and wine!

LakieLady · 28/07/2017 19:21

If they've gone on holiday, they might have told Timothy Spall Man In The Shop where and for how long, when they went in to cancel their order for Garden-Grabbers Weekly.

Floods123 · 28/07/2017 19:21

How about a big party for your followers on here after its sorted. In your garden of course. All bring wine and stuff for bbq. And all wear t-shirts with a pic of a finger in the air and CFN underneath?

StressExpress · 28/07/2017 19:21

Oldraver, that's what he said Hmm

catsarenice · 28/07/2017 19:22

I'm imagining @newdaddie to look like Hagrid!!
