Spanish grandma en route and friend still in the shop thread #4

I can't believe this is the fourth thread.

To summarise: CFN have seemingly done a disappearing act, my friend is now OUTSIDE the shop but still talking to the shop owner man.

I'm waiting on the wine I can see in her hand.

We'll need to cast an historical buildings specialist builder who restores the window to its original condition to complete the love triangle. He also has to regularly access the garden through the OPs house, him and the structural engineer come to blows over the size of the lintels and the the OPs heart. I'm thinking Sean Bean.

SabineUndine · 28/07/2017 21:48

He can be the trial judge.

PunjanaTea · 28/07/2017 21:49

Fuck Sean Bean, he's just been recast as Idris Grin

TheLittleShirt · 28/07/2017 21:49

In the movie I would like to audition for the part of 'Random Mumsnetter'

SprinkleOfInsanity · 28/07/2017 21:49

And I've changed my mind on the Architectural Historian, that should be Art Malek

MsJolly · 28/07/2017 21:50

Waaah! I want to know what the cheeky fuckery is going on now!!!

FuckYouDailyMail · 28/07/2017 21:50

What about the planning intern, the one who looked about 12 according to the OP, who should play him?

SprinkleOfInsanity · 28/07/2017 21:50

Was coming back to argue that one @PunjanaTea , that role is perfect for Idris Grin

flownthecoopkiwi · 28/07/2017 21:50

Builder - Gerald Butler.

BoreOfWhabylon · 28/07/2017 21:51

@SprinkleOfInsanity

William Shatner?!?!?!?!!?!!!

I suppose he could whisk Spanish Grandma off her feet.

Wonders71 · 28/07/2017 21:51

ChuffCloud see you at 1am, 3am, 5am... Wink

notreallythere · 28/07/2017 21:51

Planning intern - Ben Whishaw?

DonkeyOil · 28/07/2017 21:52

How about Daniel Radcliffe for the intern?

gingergenius · 28/07/2017 21:52

Honestly @SprinkleOfInsanity I think the general consensus for the cast list is as follows (although I await correction!)

OP: Emily Blunt
NICE PLANNING LADY: Olivia Coleman
SHOP OWNER: Timothy Spall
SPANISH PAELLA-PAN WIELDING GRAN: Miriam Margolys
NEWDADDIE (goady male mumsnetter) Danny Dyer

All other roles are up for grabs I think but I'd like to see a few more women involved here tbh!

Who do we still have left to cast?
CHEEKY FUCKER BUILDERS x6: ??????
BARRY TRUMP (CFN - male)
JULIE TRUMP (CFN -female)
OP's FEISTY BEST FRIEND
OP's OTHER NEIGHBOUR (and unrequited love interest)

Is it just me - when I went back just now, all of wattyyyy's posts had been 'removed at posters request'?

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 28/07/2017 21:53

Matt B from HH to sing the theme tune.

BTW, Am I allowed to a man crush on him?

flowersonthepiano · 28/07/2017 21:53

Timothy Spall as Barry?

Vango · 28/07/2017 21:53

I know he's not 12 but planning intern Mackenzie Crook?

Brummie91 · 28/07/2017 21:53

I'd go for Tom Holland he looks about 12 in the new spiderman

MorbidBibliomancy · 28/07/2017 21:53

Can we have Morgan Freeman as the narrator? Because there's nothing that can't be improved by Freeman's dulcet tones Grin

chickenowner · 28/07/2017 21:53

Oh dear - I hope she's ok.

I wonder if the CFNs are back and have created a stink?

justoneday · 28/07/2017 21:53

Penguin bollard thing is from a parking post yesterday or the day before. Neighbour runs a dog groomers in their house opposite, op came home to a car in the drive, asked around and found it to be the car of employee of neighbour - the origin of CFN ( cheeky fucking neighbour) who had told employee to park there. Op asked them to move they said no, she said yes, they said in an hour. This was about 11am ish. They didn't move. The CFN then ran employee home, leaving car on the drive. Op talked to Other neighbours who also had issues with CFN and one neighbour blocked them in overnight - problems with single track road and blocking the car in would block the entire road. So suggestions of penguin bollards to block them in. In the end, the car stayed on the drive overnight but the tyre thieves of the area stole 3 wheels and the employee couldn't move the car. Finally resolved by the CFN telling op that he would only allow his customers to park on her drive and not employees! She's now fixing cctv and bollards to prevent this. Think that sums it up quite nicely, but worth a read if you have a couple of hours to spare. I read every post to 40 only to discover another thread. It took me hours.
