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.

To the tune of A Little Respect, by Erasure

OP has uncovered
A little plot by her next door neighbors
Oh baby refrain
From calling the cops
We'll call Planning instead
And a solicitor
CFN have no access
Why you busting through to the yard
OP gives you no
OP gives you no
OP gives you no
OP gives you no
Access, she's got Ken watching
Oh baby please give a little respect to-o-o OP

And if she should falter
The MN massive is in the wings
We can boost her courage
We're like the best kind of wine!
Except for newdaddie
He's the thread's only twat
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to mansplain so much
Told to hit the road
Told to hit the road
Told to hit the road
Told to hit the road
Oh dear... he's come back again
But Idris will... not be playing him in... the mo-o-o-vieeeee

SpanGran is on her way
Paella pan in hand
Friend has had too much wine now
That's why OP had to work so hard
Trynna get the tape
Trynna get the tape
Trynna get the tape
Trynna get the tape
Off, CFN's doors
CFN please, don't leave us in suspense, cooooome hooooome
We've been, waiting seven threads
CFN please, don't leave us in suspense, cooooome hooooome

(Clip of the song from the movie D.E.B.S. because the lip syncing is too hilarious not to share. Apologies to Australians!)

I have spent my entire day reading all 7 threads, I'd chip in towards getting this made into a musical

@SingingBabooshkaBadly that's brilliant and I'm wetting myself because Kate would sure as hell make a crazy video for it

Just - Zoopla is also good for property/sold details.

Blatant placemark, after two days playing catch-up. Cannot fall behind again!

checking in before bed to see if there were any updates. Really hoping Barry and Julie turn up tomorrow to face the music!

A couple more Latin suggestions for headers on any notices to be stuck outside the doors, after you've put 50 cable ties on the handles...

Nullus Mumsnet cum futuit.
(Don't fuck with Mumsnet)

Nullus futuit cum posuresis nidum genimina viparum.
(Don't fuck with the nest of vipers)

No1 is succinct, but I rather like no2.

I get grumpy every time I come back to the thread and it's not an update by what just some random postings. I then read the posts/songs and I'm happy again.

My fav so far is the remix of Piano Song. Sorry I really can't go back over the billion posts to date to find the poster, but you are my favourite.

What time does the planning office open??

.

I've had to scroll quickly and only check OP's posts. Please say I haven't missed anything else good, I've been so loving the poems, songs and other creative posts. Been out all day and DH will ask for updates tomorrow, even if he was a grump when he found me trying to check in here during our date night tonight.

Bloo, try the Trello board for a précis of all relevant info.

While I'm here, can I offer you two more recruits for border patrol. They're extremely affectionate to any and all that belong in our garden but get extremely vocal about any passer by/ CFN that does not belong in our manor. I think they'd be ideal.

Thanks @SwearySwearyQuiteContrary how could I have forgotten about that! I shall enjoy all the songs/poems/creativeness on there over and over again now. Seems the only main point I have missed other than any of those is the Latin motto. Yay for Trello or I may have missed that one.

Didn't realise my suggestion of PPWA had made it on though, rather happy about that one.

And I would offer my own canines to join in border patrol but they are utterly useless at that sort of thing. The fish is probably of more use as a guard animal.

Op, does the CFN only have one window (now door) over looking your garden?

too quiet in here

Some Supernatural Loves ❤️ 💛 💚 💙 💜 🖤

Loving all the songs, especially that there was Kate Bush and Ace of Base

Had OP answered about whether the neighbour has been seen actually living there or is just renovating?

Will SpanGran give us a paella recipe and Flamenco lessons?

Gramgram

I'm more after Paella pan self defence lessons 😉

Checking in from Alberta, Canada. There's a bloody skunk in my garden who has just sprayed and it stinks so bad we had to close the window and are now trying to sleep in a boiling hot bedroom. More than happy to volunteer Pepe's services for the protection unit, although I am concerned his emissions may not comply with the listed building regs.

Buenos dias...hooray, Abuela arrives later.

Anyone else have surreal and confusing dreams about this thread?
