Margarita P/Abuela is on the Partay! Section of The Board too....

That's some amazing gaffer tape work there! You definitely need cctv now, just to capture the builders faces when they try to open the doors!

Jedimum1 · 30/07/2017 00:35

nocoolname wow, your poetry should be added to The Board, can we? Can we? Are all songs and creative work there?
C8 I'll have to check that paella recipe! 🤣

Oh and Trello is seriously good.

Reporting for the night shift from down under...

Am wondering about the face on NSK if Friend goes over at midnight with wine in one hand and gorilla tape in the other. And then remember NSK is a bit older than is helpful for romantic plots, and suspect she'd be dealing with a stroke.

I'm happy to do late night/early morning updating on Trello if that would be helpful?

NoCool that was truly spectacular. I'm green with envy.

There once was a netter called watty
Who's neighbours were incredibly twatty
They knocked out a wall
Then ran: we're appalled
And the builders are equally batty!

@Jedimum1

Yes its in the links section but may be enough Cultural items to have on their own list (in progress)

meercat23 · 30/07/2017 00:41

Not wanting to poop on the party but please do be careful OP not to damage their property That is true but on the other hand you have to get their attention somehow and that tape will certainly do that. Gorilla tape would only damage a upvc door if it was left on for ages.

KoalasAteMyHomework · 30/07/2017 00:41

I bloody KNEW I should have taken today off work to keep up with this thread. It's taken me 2 hours to catch up!

gingergenius · 30/07/2017 00:42

Apologies for limerick. @mrgingergenius thinks it's a bit Confused

I'm tired! Will try harder next time!

WhatIsThisWatt · 30/07/2017 00:43

Friend would love to go over and see Ken but he's unfortunately closed! We need a new name for friend I think Grin

Anyway off to bed, night all, will report back in the morning, at least no one can get out back now and I have a gorilla tape weilding bodyguard

aleC4 · 30/07/2017 00:56

Runninglikeamummy · 30/07/2017 00:56

Superb update!

faithinthesound · 30/07/2017 00:57

I made it to the end of the fourth thread, recapping Grin

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 30/07/2017 00:57

Wine and Gin and many Stars all round for everyone involved with C8's Trello work of splendour.
Truly ingenious idea of hers.

(Both to those busy updating it, and to thread contributors...too many excellent, creative, talented, funny ones to namecheck here).

I bloody love the MN community spirit that's united behind OP in her hour and 6 flipping threads of need, battling CFNs' eejitry.
