We'll always have Mablethorpe thread #7

[WhatIsThisWatt]

I can't believe we're on 7.

In need to go and catch up on the last couple of pages of 6.

Still no CFN OR ANYONE.

I'm thinking someone will be there tomorrow. HOPEFULLY.

@gingergenius you are Genius by name and Genius by nature!
Encore [standing ovation] Encore

If we're going to wear ponchos we might as well bring pan pipes. Here we are by the OP's intact section of wall.

@BluePancakes

Marilyn
Is GLF gorgeous something friend? What are we referring to her as? I thought she was DTB. Duct tape barbie.

Ginger
Excellent and thanks for the link 👏👏

Someone please tell me did the tape come off??

Is there any update?? Please?? The suspense is killing me!

GLF=gorgeous lovely friend aka Duct-tape Barrie after a few Vinos!

Come back OP! I'm worried you're stuck to the gorilla tape!

Barbie not Barrie!!!!

@Vango Yes! That is EXACTLY what I was thinking. With those little candles with collars on so we don't drop wax onto OPs lovely listed building or grass.

Can we sing some kind of kum buy ah (no idea how you spell it) or channel an enya vibe? I'm sure CFNs would love that.

We're off on hols to the sw tomorrow and I actually WAS looking fwd to having shite mobile reception for 5 days but now I'm gutted I will miss the return of CFN! May have to venture into the nearest town "for coffee/tea/etc" every day!!

JESUS THAT TOOK FOREVER

I had to use all my weight to pull the big bit off in one go. Managed to unwind part of it then lost the end

Thankfully they didn't catch me in the act, and I've not been kidnapped, I'm never drinking wine again.

spookle that lock thingy looks fabulous!

I feel like I had something else to say but it's slipped my mind

That is a LOT of tape!!!

ginger Barrie

Well done OP! Make a scary ninja gnome out of the tape and leave it in your garden as a message to CFNs/ homage to your amazing friend.

To the tune of The Star Spangled Banner (and I'm on the bus so be gentle/you'll have to google your own YouTube link)

Oh say can you see
By the afternoon light
That the OP's neighbors
Have been cheeky f*cker-ing

Whose brick wall and window
Lay in OP's garden
While the builders scarpered
Our OP then called Planning

And the Planning Lady
With her Man and Intern
Gave proof the next day:
Neighbors had no permission

Oh say will that CFN ever come home
We await our OP
And her updates from Ken

Here's a slightly crappy effort in response to pp who wanted a Les Mis Thenardier song... Beggars at the Feast. I'm sure someone can edit it to improve!!!

Ain't it a laugh?

Ain't it a treat?

Walking the dog

Down Charles Wright Street?

But mumsnet is calling

All the way through
Keeping up with these threads

Is a tough thing to do.


Rubble at her feet

Watttyy's in the dust

I'm only on thread three

And fuming with disgust!


Neighbours gone away

Builders moving in

Watttyy's garden's vio-
lated, what a sin

Bouncy castle booked.

Spangran's on the way 

Duct tape barbie's here

And now Ken's joined the fray


Waiting for Watt's posts all Sunday

Praying for the tales she'll send.

The cheeky effing neighbours 

Surely will return home in the end!



The Banner Of Truth.

Simple but efective. Blue for MN colours.

Credit to @milliemolliemou for the translation.

Nil ad Feminas MN nisi bonum et nemo nos impune lacessit. "Nothing but good to the women on MN and no one dicks us around."

OP,

Did you manage to get rid of any glue residue the tape left?

Can't wait til they come back!!

hurry home CFN!

Work said one of us could go early as quiet. I took the hit to catch up on this thread.

I have a huge soft spot for Mablethorpe having spent huge chunks of my childhood there staying with my great aunts and grandpa (Carson House, High street tb exact)

Right now I'm in Crete on holiday wasting time on Mumsnet. Didn't someone say a couple of threads away she was in Crete too?? Notapizzaeater???

Anyway ffs CFN come on, don't you realise that half the world is waiting for you to go home????

That is definitely one wine fuelled tape application.
