CFN vanished, Spanish grandma, patio doors, I don't know what the hell to call this thread #5

[WhatIsThisWatt]

Hello everyone, new thread as requested. hopefully MNHQ could be so kind (as they already have been) to verify that I'm the OP from the original four threads?

Sorry again about the title NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON ANYMORE but I will try to keep you all updated. I'll probably not be back till the morning but THANKS for all the support and nice messages

Is mumsnet complete?
Tomorrow it is like smoke
Melting in a soft, sweet breeze
Perfection achieved.

I hope you don't mind . . . it was so close . . .

NSK = Nice Shop Keeper. He's the owner of the shop across the road from OP and is currently keeping watch for the return of CFN

Bloody Hell, Judas that's worth at least 30 pieces of sliver. Sheer genius.

@Judashascomeintosomemoney love it!!!

At some point (when fucking rl got in the way) I missed several thousand pages-someone get me up to speed on Spanish Gran.
I did describe the thread to friends last night under the influence of free booze,firstly they had never heard of MN, so Aibu to never speak to them again or be jealous that they have lives? But they are signing up just to read the glory of this thread.

I think NSK should be played by Corrie's Roy Cropper.

Look, I know it's a 5-parter and not finished yet, and there's loads of place marking (although most of it us very funny placemarking) but even if it's just for Judas' Victoria Wood tribute this really does belong in Classics, surely?!

Ok so I spent 2 hours reading most of the threads so far, and what is REALLY bugging me is that the original op doesn't show up.

And I REALLY NEED to know what it said. I feel incomplete...

Um. Thanks....slightly worried about copyright have checked and rechecked uk law but I guess if I've got the whole internet I might be able to afford any court case if not please all crowd fund me

@Judashascomeintosomemoney bloody well done. Made my day

Judas it's a masterpiece, I'm sure V Wood would approve

Judas it's a damn shame Victoria Wood isn't around to congratulate you herself. . .
You have done her proud. .

Judas I have tears rolling down my face, as do OH and a passing DD. That's absolutely inspired

...and without any real knowledge, I think Victoria Wood might have LOVED that. LittleRed - I think you're right, we have reached MN nirvana. Everyone one the one side, it's bleeding Dunkirk spirit.

It will be a point of reference throughout history ..

"I know, cos I was there" (after Dylan Thomas)
"Where shall we three thousand meet again?" (After Shakespeare)
"“A friend is someone who helps you up when you’re down, and if they can’t, they lay down beside you and listen.” (Winnie the Pooh).

floofles the first thread has also completely disappeared for me on the app, I just get error messages, but it's still accessible via desktop computer if that helps

judas wonderful!!

Judas, I've just sung that loudly at a bemused dh

Utterly brilliant.

Judas that was amazing! 👏 👏 👏

Oh crap! Just had a thought - what if the CFNs are ex council tenants and they need the garden for their goat?

Gah I can't get onto a desktop 😩
Anyone fancy doing a sneaky screenshot for me?
I am way too over involved

Judas - that is fucking brilliant!

I can just picture Victoria Wood singing it. I think she'd have loved the story behind it too

Judas Truly excellent work!

I knew I should've been more committed to my pelvic floor exercises...

Is anyone else thinking that a round robin from Barry and Julie should be written in honour of all the CFN that have been on MN recently? We can have reference to 'the unpleasantness in the summer over our little cosmetic alterations to our garden', 'unfortunate childcare problems in the holidays' etc. Etc.

Bravo Judas put a smile on my face that did

These threads have kept me so entertained over the past few days. I'm addicted.

Judas - that is pure brilliance!
