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.

Inspired by Mr Andy Bell and Mr Vincent Clarke aka Erasure

Piano Song Patio Doors Song

Always get angry at the stupid people
Though I go crazy at the fuckers in my life
Sit and I stare at patio doors
A builder's face stares back at me and cries

Your vulnerability rushes up to me
And you're left here
The (CF) Neighbour without a cause

'N' the deeper I delve into
The consciousness of stupid you
The harder it gets
I need to close my eyes
What hurts me most
I'll have to see your doors again

Though I get weary doesn't mean that I'm unwilling
Your builders belie me, I've MN on my side

And as you get busted the planners get you

And talks to you as if you're some kind of child

Your insensitivity washes over me
'Til I'm left here
The rebel with vipers on my side

The deeper I delve into
The consciousness of me and you
The harder it gets
I need my old wall back

What hurts you most
You'll never step on my lawn again

The harder it gets
You need to close your eyes
You can't recollect
You'll never see my lawn again

You try to forget
You'll never see my lawn again
What hurts you most
You'll never see my lawn again

Don't touch lawn!

Ok. Sorry this isn't great, but I couldn't get the idea out of my head. Inspired by The Song That Goes Like This:

WATTTYYY: Once in every while
There comes a thread like this
It starts off with a query
And ends in mumsnet bliss
Oh where is the thread
That goes like this?
Where is it? Where? Where?

CFN: We only wanted doors
Into a garden of our own
Our builders got caught short
And now we're facing hell
For this is the thread that goes like this

WATTTYYY: Yes it is!

CFN: Yes it is!

WATTTYYY: Now we can go straight
Into thread number eight
Oh where can those mad neighbours be???

CFN: We've got some better doors!
More similar to yours!

BOTH: But not
What planning
Acceeeeeeeepts

WATTTYYY: Now my friend is here!
hem That's too much wine for me..

CFN: But everyone can see
We've scarpered, hope we're free!

BOTH: For this is our thread that goes like this!

WATTTYYY: I'm feeling very proud

CFN: We'll never come back round

WATTTYYY: That's the way that this thread goes

CFN: Fuck, can you see those gnomes??!

ALL: Filling our thread that goes like this!

CFN: I can't believe there's more!

WATTTYYY: It's far too long, I'm sure

CFN: That's the trouble with this thread
It'll go on till we're dead...

BOTH: For this is our thread that wins Mumsnet!

WATTTYYY: Jesus Christ, God damm*t!

CFN: Dear God!
Have they put tape round our doors?

WATTTYYY: It's MY garden, not yours!

CFN: Let's stop this damn refrain

BOTH: Before we go insane
For this is our thread that ends like this!

gingergenius · 30/07/2017 21:45

@SchadenfreudePersonified properly lmao at CFB happy meal toys!!! Genius!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 30/07/2017 21:46

could we all assemble for a MN haka on Wattys lawn?

YES!

We could wear our ponchos!

EyeDrops · 30/07/2017 21:46

P.S Sorry @WhatIsThisWatt for making your lines Sir Galahads, they fit better!

Buggeritimgettingup · 30/07/2017 21:47

Finally caught up! Been swapping the kids bedrooms around all day so not had chance. Can't believe thatthe cfn haven't shown! Gaaaaaah

nonfatnofoamlatte · 30/07/2017 21:50

Checking in from British Columbia, Canada!
Nice work on removing the tape - that must have taken a long time! Will you be looking at other methods to stop CFN or CFB from accessing your garden?
FWIW, my thought is CFN wanted to put in a doorway to your garden over the weekend, then have it listed as a shared garden flat by Monday. Cheeky buggers!!
I am hereby offering my DGP (dear grand puppy) to help keep said buggers from your garden! Please ignore his toy lamby and bored expression (there was no one to show lamby to) although he does have a ferocious bark!!

We'll always have Mablethorpe thread #7
sobeyondthehills · 30/07/2017 21:53

As tempting and boring it is, I would leave the doors,

However I must give credit to your friend for doing something we all wanted to do.

I am also in the South East so up for a massive party ;)

@notapizzaeater whereabouts in Crete are you?? I'm here too!

charlie2405 · 30/07/2017 21:56

Lynm63 im afraid the term 'mablethorpe massive has already been claimed. It's used to reference the huge amount of mobility scooter users that frequent the place. I know cause I'm not far away and have had the pleasure of living to see this social phenomenon... Confused

redfragglebiker · 30/07/2017 21:56

SchadenfreudePersonified - that we could. We'd be fucking terrifying!

ThorsMistress · 30/07/2017 21:57

Are they still not back?! 7 threads later and they're still away? Definitely a mnetter!

DevilsDumplings · 30/07/2017 21:58

Oh Whatttyyy you and this thread have given me the biggest laugh I've had for ages.

I laughed so much at your antics with the Gorilla 🦍 tape I started weezing and coughing .... so much so my dogs started to revive lick and paw me to bring me round Grin

This is the most loveliest and entertaining of threads x7. Thank you!!

Ruthie2k · 30/07/2017 21:59

Marilyn I was watching last weeks 'Wentworth' and delaying as thought handmaiden started at 2100 so had to read the thread again.
Yes, we need some Eyes and Aunt Lydia but let's keep them close as they are not to be trusted
OP, don't the let the bastards grind you down.

picklemepopcorn · 30/07/2017 22:05

I have a very serious and somber request. Could everyone try not to post too much btn 8 and 2 tomorrow? I have to go to work, and am afraid you'll be on thread 92 before I get back...😂
