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)

The thread will slow naturally I personally think it already is but I think it's best left to do it naturally rather than trying to control it.

Oh do I sense a new role for a flustered postman I'm going to start nominations for actor with Rowan Atkinson

Hahaha yes I love the threads - I wish I had a more exciting update for you all just because you have all been so amazing!!

If nothing happens for weeks/ months I'll start a new one with a pre-agreed title so I can let you all know the outcome

I had cake too (boss at work distributed it) it was luminous.

I just think over the last 24 hrs people have gotten carried away

I thought this one was comparatively slow-moving (thankfully) 😂

I love your thread. It has kept me entertained and distracted during a couple of shitty days!

I may be a little over invested..!

Cant wait for next instalment!

I tried to resist.. not really

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Patlock or two?
My neighbours are fuckers, what else can I do?.
Worked hard for my garden, but they want it too,
So Lord, won't you buy me a Patlock or two?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me some CCTV?
The builder is hiding, he won't talk to me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me some CCTV?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a big fuck off bench?
I'm counting on you, Lord, though I could dig a trench.
My neighbour is busted, I'll make his arse clench,
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a big fuck off bench?

Everybody!

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a bench with trellis?
My neighbours are fuckers, they're taking the piss,
I won't give up this fight, I'm telling you this,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a bench with trellis?

That's it!

@Spookle you cheeky chops you!!!

I think if it takes weeks or months then you need to get Mumsnet to highlight the update in their Daily Round Up email!

Second the request for Trello Board Recipe Book

@WhatIsThisWatt in that case just go with it. Suggestion for finale thread is a good idea, with a pre-agreed title so we all know what to look out for. X

Haha somersaults good idea

even though I now live in the dirty south

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time Handles.

I came for the CFN but I stayed for the songs.

It has kept me entertained and distracted during a couple of shitty days!

This, and all the other similar posts, is exactly why these threads have been so heartwarming. In the grand scheme of things, the OP has a problem that can and will be sorted out. So many posters in the meantime are being entertained by the silliness. It can't be a bad thing, surely?

Wouldn't it be better to let the thread slow down a bit

It has slowed down a bit - we were getting through a thread a day in the early stages.

There is a natural evolution of a thread.

It will end when it ends, and we will all sit back with a sigh and thing "that was lovely, and hope that one day, in our lifetime, we may be privileged to find such another.

When it ends, I for one, will miss it very much --and don't even want to think about that yet and now I'm nearly crying__

Aw schaden that was lovely

😭😭😭😭 @SchadenfreudePersonified x

It's the zeitgeist innit Schadenfreude

You lot will need to join in with The Archers threads. Very witty bunch. You'd fit right in and it might help to recover your spirits a little when the time comes.

vango "when the time comes" haha love it.

SPANGRAN TELLING ME HER SANGRIA RECIPE/ INGREDIENTS: STANDBY ANYONE WHO WANTED IT!

Can you all carry on with your songs/recipes/random thoughts and food pics please

I've just caught up again and now I'm not sure what to do with my life

Spookle - one of my favourite songs made even favourites!

Thank you Schaden, your thoughts are welcome during my eternal struggle to understand their 'southern ways'

Glad there hasn't been any dramatics today, hopefully your solicitor letter will do the trick! Loving the description of SpanGran accosting the postman 😄

Yes Vango

The geistlof the zest it is.

And if it can bring together such disparate individuals as Putin and the Obamas in perfect harmony* - how can it be wrong?

*Cue for a song there?
