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)

Am I too late to suggest a cast member?

NCSIs Mark Harmon as Ken

What, I only checked thread 7 as everything moving so fast (never known such a fast-moving thread). I was reading everything up to about 5 then had to start skimming as real life has unfortunately taken over. Didn't see anything negative in thread 7 so was surprised you mentioned it at the top of thread 8, this thread, as I hadn't had that impression at all - the impression I have is unanimous support for you. Thought then you might be getting some negative PMs, which is not good.

It's definitely and clearly real and has caught all of our imaginations. We all need to know the outcome.

I've tried and failed to keep on top of all the threads any chance someone can do a summary or maybe start a summary thread?!

I posted on the other thread before it became about hating on this one. It didn't start that way. It was just some skimmers expressing that they are skim reading. Like me. I don't have time to read it all, sorry if that offends anyone. Can't we all enjoy the parts of the thread that we want to?!

May your cat piss green water?

😂😂😂😂

Next year Ken will look at his books and wonder why there was a spike in takings this weekend and next week and fondly remember when he was in the secret service !

I'm so behind and have no clue what's going on.

I believe you too wat, because something similar though not as bad happened to me some years ago when I lived alone and I can still remember that feeling of personal violation. I wish you every success with this, and I am sure you will be victorious in the end.

Plus I am enjoying this thread

Hope SpanGran gets there safe and get the paella pan on, looking forward to supper later!

annie thanks for that, you are correct, the support has been overwhelming

It was only a handful of comments, I'd just hate to think I'd pissed anyone off with the threads, it's all very real for me but sometimes I'm not sure how it's coming across online if that makes sense? Although by the Trello it's spot on 😂

SpanGran is sitting in a bar for an "after flight glass of wine" when did that become a thing? She says she will get a taxi after (wouldn't let me pick her up)

FGS HURRY UP 😂

In honour of the SpanGran

To the tune of Viva Espana w

All the ladies fell for Ken from the shop
He stocks the Beano in these balmy days
He knew every time you meet an cheeky neighbour
You've got to teach them planning law ways
But even NNDN would have felt the strain
Of inflating small bouncy castles in the rain

Chorus
Welcome my granny from Sunny Spain
Y Viva Espana
She came on the Costa Brava 'plane
Y Viva Espana
If you'd like to chat about a door, in some cool garden
And meet senoritas by the score, Espana por favor

Quite by chance to planning guys I found the answer
Gorilla tape friends are by far the finest bet
There was one who whispered oh hasta la vista
Each time they moved the rubble behind the castanette
NNDN rattled his maracas close to me
In no time I was trembling at the knee

When they first arrive the builders are pink and pasty
but oh so cheeky as soon as they go brown
I guess they know ev'ry planner will be queuing
to do the enforcement notice the law won't allow
but every Watttyy must have her lucky day
that's why i've learnt the way to shout ole

Hola SpanGran!

Just a thought. Could you sit a mannequin on the bench with their back to the illegal doors, dressed and bewigged to look realistic? Extra points if you could, via remote control, get the mannequin to slowly revolve its head to scare the bejebus out of the CFN.

Yay for the big heavy bench.
Boo to people who are negative. Ignore 'em, we are all behind you. There's always one (or a few) that have to stir the pot!

Yay for SpanGran!

Agreed alpacas

Sorry to hear that wordy hope it worked out ok?

Hola SpanGran! Que tal? Enjoy your vino!

I've been following the threads from the start. Place marking (sorry).

I've just realised I've been sitting outside in the sun (Portugal) for so long reading all this, I think I might have something crawling in my knickers

You'll have to introduce Span Gran to Ken and nice neighbour.

Loving SpanGran's style Op, she's obviously being thoughtful in allowing you enough time to nip over to get a couple of barrels from Ken's emporium before she rocks up! Hope he's got a decent Spanish selection 😀🍷🍷🍷

I really think CFN has brought to let out possibly? And please witty can you post a sangeria recipe? It's the only alcoholic drink I really like and can drink like water

Checking in!

Hi old is SpanGran?

Whoops. Is that rude?
