If it doesn't come off easily someone upthread suggested WD40....

Is there an actual bouncy castle coming or did I dream that? This thread is so surreal at times I can't remember what's real life and what's fantasy!

Eucalyptus oil also removes the glue if you have some around...

I wouldn't even cable ties on the door to be honest. The door, annoying as it is, is their property and you don't really want to be touching it. Putting something in front of it on your own property however is a different story...

Added possible sighting of "Dodgy Daily's Bricks from Sainsburys" to the Rogues Gallery on the board.

Middle of the night in Australia and I don't want to sleep just in case!!! Can't believe some people!

Loving Trello.
WhatsApp have a PROPER Scottish flag emoji . Don't know if it can be copied over?

I felt like a pretentious twat afterwards. Grin

Pretentious twittery is my speciality, Pink.

I could Write the manual. Grin

Twattery, not twittery - and yet autocorrect rarely fannies about with anything in these little errata *

** Further twattery of a very high order Grin

I'm rubbish at graphics/emojis - @lborgia found the little flags.

Not sure if she or @faithinthesound (or anyone else) can apply Whatsapp flags as well or if we can just point at one flags library?

Rossigigi · 30/07/2017 12:55

Morning OP hope you can get the tape off. Maybe it wasn't the best ideaConfused

BlooBagoo · 30/07/2017 12:56

I have to go out soon, might have to sneak way for regular loo breaks to check my phone. Grin

Hopefully @WhatIsThisWatt can link to a new thread before this one closes though. The chat is going so quickly.

Colinfarrellsarse · 30/07/2017 12:56

Op make a new thread before you go back to the garden!

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 30/07/2017 12:56

My DH has just woken up from a post stag do sleep and the first thing he asked was "what's going on with the shameful door people?" Grin

WoofWoofMooWoof · 30/07/2017 12:58

This thread moves to fast, that by the time you respond to a post it's already 3 or 4 pages gone lol.

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 30/07/2017 12:59

ClashCityRocker,

Re bouncy castle: well, OP may be installing a RL one, for the enjoyment of assorted MNers' small kids, but probably depends on how much space (RL) SpanGran/ Abuela takes up with her outsize paella pan.

(There again, it might just stay safely within the realms of our imaginations...who knows? Am buggered if I do!).

Rossigigi · 30/07/2017 12:59

New thread needed!!!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 30/07/2017 13:00

The OP does not strike me as someone easily "egged on" by other posters

I agree Vango Possibly she and her friend had a glass too many last night and the tape seemed a good idea (and I think it is, FWIW, but I am not a lawyer).

However we know that she has contacted all of the appropriate bodies involved in this type of chicanery, has NOT made unnecessary 999 calls, and is being very sensible regarding her own rights and vulnerability.

She is not an idiot, or a child.

Allington · 30/07/2017 13:01

Sending support from South Africa. You can have DD for the bouncy castle as well, but it might be all over by the time we get there Grin

Vango · 30/07/2017 13:02

Indeed Schadenfreude. And we, in the meantime, are indulging ourselves with our fantasy comedy to lighten her distress (I hope)!

I'm on the next door neighbour's fence about the tape. I don't think the cfns would dare take her to task over it, having illegally accessed her garden - twice! That said, I'd have no hesitation using a cable tie which is probably more easily broken with force.
