CFN patio doors onto my private garden thread #3

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!

I think what he meant was - tiny cock.

Tini17 · 28/07/2017 19:23

Omg I've just read all three threads (possibly in place of bathing the kidsGrin).

CFN better come back soon! Does the Man in the shop know when they are back?

wotabastard · 28/07/2017 19:24

I'm imagining@newdaddieto look like Hagrid!!

Or Dobbie

MadamePomfrey · 28/07/2017 19:24

I think Russel brand is most fitting for him

MostIneptThatEverStepped · 28/07/2017 19:24

❤️ para la abuelita!

FUNM · 28/07/2017 19:25

@Watt, since it doesn't look like they are coming back any time soon, could you take advantage of this and set up a covert camera hidden in a pot plant in the garden so when they do come home and enter the garden via their illegal doors the look on their faces will be captured forever Grin and any ensuing conversation!

gingergenius · 28/07/2017 19:25

@Vango good call re: Timothy Spall - was also thinking Tom Conti???

Goingtobeawesome · 28/07/2017 19:25

Marcia - because they aren't there!

Spanish Granny made me quite tearful Blush.

MrsSchadenfreude · 28/07/2017 19:26

I can't keep up!

MarmaladeAtkinsX · 28/07/2017 19:27

I see Danny Dyer as more of NNDN, with narration:

"You fucking what? Bazzer and Jules have only gone and put a fucking door in, the plonkers."

"They must think OP's a right mug" etc etc

Maybe Penelope Keith as Planning Officer 1?

gingergenius · 28/07/2017 19:27

@StressExpress mmmmm I guess so - but he does rather rate himself so it might have legs!

CaveMum · 28/07/2017 19:27

Maybe Spanish Granny can just sit in the garden and stare at their window, a la Elderly Korean Lady.

Chartreuse45 · 28/07/2017 19:28

Corner shop owner will no doubt will have details on the CFN. We need something to tide us over until their return. Let's not forget it could be a week or more! The corner shop owner may know what paper they read, are they organised or always running in for a pint of milk etc as the shop shuts. If they get their papers/magazines on order do they pay in a timely fashion? Are they friendly or condescending when they shop there? This could help us work out if they are malicious, stupid or naive! We need information or the posts will simply be repeats!

CaveMum · 28/07/2017 19:29

Definitely Miriam Margolyes to play Spanish Granny - she can resurrect her Spanish Infanta from Blackadder!

Would love MM as Spanish granny!!!

Hullabaloo40 · 28/07/2017 19:32

Shamelessly place marking before thread number 4 appears.

They should make a trilogy out of this never mind one film!

Chickenagain · 28/07/2017 19:33

Just got back from our outing to vets, burger joint, M&S & B&Q, we have been checking in & catching up all over West Sussex. Sit down for the latest catch up & already my boyfriend is asking hopefully "Any news?"

puddleduckmummy · 28/07/2017 19:34

Best thing I've seen on here for ages! Laughed at loud at you and your friend decamping to the box room with the wine! You definitely sound much happier with reinforcements there! Definitely tell the shop guy, I bet he knows something and is gagging to tell you!! Can't wait for CFN to get back!

Lweji · 28/07/2017 19:34

Ooooooh
Spanish nana and shopkeeper involved. The plot thickens...

ffauxlivia · 28/07/2017 19:34

Tom Hardy as NNDN with a crush on OP, which eventually results in their marriage. might be my actual fantasy

Gemini69 · 28/07/2017 19:35

darn and blast it.. is this thread full already?? Shock

Wattyyyy · 28/07/2017 19:36

Thanks mostinept Smile

marmalade I agree, I can totally see that, NNDN is kind of Danny Dyer ish without the accent Smile

Friend has totted over to the shop for another bottle of red. I'm watching her absolute glee from the window 😂

Still no sign of CFN they are either away for the weekend or have read the thread and are now in the process of changing their identities.
