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.

Can you imagine the MN thread on baby names?

I love the name Cillian for a boy..........

C8H10N4O2 · 30/07/2017 21:16

@gingergenius

You would be very much less in awe of my house tidying skills this weekend Grin

SchadenfreudePersonified · 30/07/2017 21:17

Spookle That banner is wonderful! You are a true artiste.

@Vango 😉

Ontheboardwalk · 30/07/2017 21:18

What do you drive? Have you got a car? I've visions of the dodgy builders setting up their own surveillance in the morning waiting for you to leave.

Would love to see their faces if you catch them an hour later

SchadenfreudePersonified · 30/07/2017 21:19

Work said one of us could go early as quiet

I bet there was a massive rush for the door as you all fought to get to Mumsnet.

gingergenius · 30/07/2017 21:21

C8H10N4O2 meh! who needs tidy when you have Trello???? Wink

myusernamewhichisthis · 30/07/2017 21:22

fucking 'ell.
thread 7? ive missed loads.

ChangelingToday · 30/07/2017 21:24

My thumb is tired from scrolling! I'd love to know the story of cfn, I wonder do they have any idea how serious this is for them?! I almost feel sorry for them, worst idea ever!!

@me My contribution - I hate rap by Confederate Railroad. I only did two verses, sorry grin.

I hate them, I hate them
I hate the stupid CFN
What a stupid bloody thing to do
They’ve cause a great big hullabaloo
Oh my what a big to do
I hate them, I hate them
They don’t play nice in the neighbourhood
I like Ken, I like my neighbours
And I like my best friend Gorilla Barbie

I hate them, I hate them
Spanish grannie will come see to them
Along with EKL and my new friend Ken
I want to see them suffer for what they’ve done
And if I call the planners come
I hate them, I hate them
They don’t play nice in the neighbourhood
I like Ken, I like my neighbours
And I like my best friend Gorilla Barbie

Lurpak

Yes, but more are welcome - can't have too much of a good thing

Ruthie2k · 30/07/2017 21:25

Fuck, I have to make a choice and a, it includes gin, A, couple so packets of spicy nick backs and The last Handmaid's tale and leave phone on charge in kitchen and catch up later. Or B, move my charger and do both but not concentrate on TV and have banned hubby to bedroom to shoot things on the pc.
The choices are hard.....

WoofWoofMooWoof · 30/07/2017 21:25

Or should I have said @C8?

C8H10N4O2 · 30/07/2017 21:30

New Confederate Railroad added as 'Country Rock' - we didn't have anything in that genre so far :)

RollerCoasterProteinSpill · 30/07/2017 21:30

I want a Mumsnet poncho, I really really want one now!

It would obviously have pockets and a clever way to charge my phone as I continuously am refreshing to try and keep up!

ophiotaurus · 30/07/2017 21:32

Sorry C8 - I was thinking rap lol - duh. Country rock makes much more sense!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 30/07/2017 21:32

We need a Book ofThe Thread - a bit like the murder book that detectives put together when somebody has been killed - a hard copy Trello, really, to pore over at our leisure.

Actually, the opportunities for spin-off merchandise are enormous. Dolls (of all the characters - imagine little Mostyn's delighted face as he opens his Happy Meal Box and finds a CFB, complete with fag hanging from mouth, and a ripped-off sticker in one hand), Minature White Vans, copies of The Wall, endorsements of Gorilla Tape, product placement fees from WD40 - the list is endless!

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 30/07/2017 21:32

Ruthie,

I'm weighing up Handmaid's vs this thread too!

Need full focus for HT, so am going to watch it on catch-up later, when things quieten down on this thread.

(Maybe we should recruit Aunt Lydia and a couple of Eyes to track down the AWOL CFNs...).

simon50 · 30/07/2017 21:33

Tiger 44.. I hate you I'm going to go to bed with that as an ear worm !!!

redfragglebiker · 30/07/2017 21:35

I have no idea on how to write the words for it, but could we all assemble for a MN haka on Wattys lawn? I do a good grimacing war face!!

Wonders71 · 30/07/2017 21:35

Yay found thread 7
