CFN SpanGran has landed thread #8

[WhatIsThisWatt]

Hi guys! Wow I've just had a chance to come back on and noticed the last thread is full already?!

There also seems to be loads of people saying they're over it and don't believe me. That's fine, I'm not going to get into an argument with anyone. I had no idea that I would get so many responses when I initially asked for advice on this situation, however, they have really cheered me up through what has been a really crappy few days at points. Thanks all.

Sorry if ive pissed people off.

Anyway my Grandma has landed at the airport and should be with me in a couple of hours. It's not even that far away (she likes to take her time)

I feel like a should invite NNDN round for a cuppa, I think he's a bit lonely but I don't want to be wowed..

Freudian slip there Whattyyy....did you not mean weird but actually meant wooed?

OooooOoooooo.......

What if NNDN and SpanGran get together?

Ahhhhh I've only just read that the CFN finally returned! Their lack of response is most unsatisfying. Gutted for you OP. Hopefully this will get resolved sooner rather than later.

Good morning @WhatIsThisWatt have a great day with spangran. Hope the CFNs come back so she can give them (a smack) a stern talking to!

I think you should pop out to see if they really are watching your house. Leave spangran sunbathing to surprise them!

Rugratwrangler Your son calls you "Mama"? How posh are you?

@rizlett Freudian slip there Whattyyy....did you not mean weird but actually meant wooed?

I thought that too! "Ken and Whatty sitting in a tree...."

The planning thing could take quite a long time. We may all be in for a long wait 😂

IloveBanff that might well be ma-ma (two short a's) not ma-mah (short a, then emphasised long a).

It's very common where people call them mother 'mam' not 'mum', and in families with European backgrounds.

when I saw wowed, I was quite surprised!!

have you spoken to planning, shouldn't they give regular updates?

to the PP with the artistic washing - You have been added to my favorite person list! Care for a toblerone? I appear to be hosting our overseas CFN opposition team so you're more than welcome. Haka practice is on Thursday evening followed by Sangria (when we get the recipe)

PattyPenguin thank you so much for educating me.

“That bloody good stuff! Not our usual breakfast Vwodka, though”

“No. Is free sample”

“Schadenfreude’s Original Old Gulag Mortificadan Moosehoof Vwodka” “Is bloody good stuff. Order a dozen cases”

“Okay. You want crisps, too?”

“Pork scratchings. Oh - better two dozen cases - I just recall - Mrs P is having Tupperware Party Thursday.”

“You sent for me, Comrade Putin?”

“Ah! Yefim Konstantinovitch! Come, come. Pull up pew as they say in England” . “You still head of KGB? - here, have vwodka”

“That’s bloody good stuff, Comrade Putin”

“Is FSB now, Comrade Putin. KGB no longer . . . >

“Yes, yes” “I know that stuff - but is same thing. Rose is still rose, eh? Hahahahahaha”

“Hahahahahaha”

“These cheeky fucking gardeners - I want them arrested and put in Lubyanka”

“Lyubyanka is now Family Day Fun Centre Comrade Putin. I don’t think . . . “

“What more family fun than little Igor giving electric shock to cheeky fucking builder hanging on wall in chains? The kids will love it! Fun for all!”

“But Com-“

“Vanka - Yefim Konstantinovitch is leaving now.”

“See if cheeky fucking builders so quick knock down our walls! Hahahahaha”

“Hahahahaha”.

I'm sure someone's already asked this, @WhatIsThisWatt (sorry, I feel I'm being over-formal not calling you Wattyyy ), but is there an upper storey to the property, i.e. are there other flats above the CFNs and above you? Just curious, really.

In the film I will play myself but will be wearing a mask of Schadenfreude. I'm sure you can get them.

Available from all good Halloween Shops.

Planning is a long-drawn out affair I'm afraid. The 'Stop Notice' which I hope they've been issued will stop them doing anything more (hopefully). However, the Enforcement Notice won't get issued immediately, and when it does it will give them a certain period of time in which to comply. Moreover, they could instead submit a Listed Building application for what they've done instead (which they also might do in view of the Enforcement Notice). If an application is refused, it will probably take at least 4 months for it to go to appeal (which is likely if they're playing for time) and the E Notice can also be appealed similarly. The Enforcement Notice and any appeal decision if it is upheld will give them a period of time for compliance.

However, I would ask them to get a Party Wall Agreement before they do any work as they will need to do it from your garden.... (Yes, I am on repeat in case anyone wonders, but the threads are going so fast I've only said it 3 times so far and it could easily have been overlooked!)

@WhatIsThisWatt I'd give my left kidney to be WOWED. It's been a while!

Given how early some of you seem to have started, it must be time for lunch...

Is Span Gran single? Can you set her up with either NNDN or the shop keeper??? (I'm just trying to propel the soap opera along by adding some romance here...)

redfragglebiker Me? Ooh, thank you, I love Toblerone

Schaden - we're definitely going to need photos of your efforts! (I have a whirlygig job, which is sadly of no use).

I loves it, madam schadenfreude. I vink I also be do need vwodka of the SpanGran.
