CFN Thread #9 (Better call Planning)

[WhatIsThisWatt]

Okay so I wasn't going to post until I'd had some kind of resolution. However, planning called today to ask if they could access my garden on Friday as they need to do some "further investigation" and have another planning official who will be there to oversee it??

They wouldn't tell me over the phone what it was about (it wasn't Nice Planning Lady, it was someone I hadn't spoken with before)

Thanks pp for the thread title - which coincidentally was very apt!

No sign of CFN/ builders etc.

There's now a sign up saying
NO ENTRY IN TO PRIVATE GARDEN
CONTACT SOLICITORS NAME if you require further information.

Re Trello links. We have been linking to posts rather than copying the content. This is for a couple of reasons
(1) I honestly thought it would all be a three day wonder
(2) I didn't want to assume people would be happy to be replicated elsewhere

(3) Haven't had time to check if it would breach any T&C for MNHQ.

It is entirely possible to put the text on there if people would like it and if (2) and (3) were cleared. It might take a little time though.

Cheers Hugger

I'll have the plate without the beans please, and if you could make sure that none of my food is touching otherwise I have to cut the edges off thank you very much

I'm going to lose my children at the zoo because Ive got my face in this thread, aren't I?

Don't worry Jenny The lion sicked up Albert and I'm sure most kids are equally indigestible. They'll be fine (eventually). Tell them to keep hold of their hats, though.

Oh happy day (oh happy day)
Oh happy day (oh happy day)

The planners taking their doors away (oh happy day)

that was bad bad planning to be at the zoo. maybe see if the monkeys will erm.. you know... to keep the kids entertained

C8 the links only take me to the thread, not the post.

I think we absolutely should have the full V&V archive preserved for posterity. Also the Spanish Translations.

And re MNHQ T&C - MNHQ's not bothered about great tranches of threads appearing in the D Mail

It's planning day THIS IS BETTER THAN CHRISTMAS!!!

Bore can you tell me if its a specific link and how you are viewing the lists?

The links in songs etc should take you to the specific message id (although on some platforms its a bit slow - the sequence you should see is "go to thread" then "scan down the thread to the message id". Its entirely possibly I need to fix the odd link but the general pattern should go to message ID.

Wahey! Planning day!

Feel free to do what you like re: Trello

BUT DAILYFAIL - IF YOU ARE LURKING - I RETAIN FULL INTELLECTUAL RIGHTS TO MY POSTS AND SO DO ALL OF THE LYRICISTS/ SPEECHWRITERS/ PLAYWRIGHTS/ POETS/PISS ARTISTS ON HERE, SO YOU PRINT NOTHING WITHOUT GIVING US SHITLOADS OF CASH - OKAY?!?!?!?!?

As long as we understand each other.

Ah, good old Cautionary Tales - wonderful bedtime stories.

Could you write one for hapless developers please Schadenfreude?

And I can't help but think that surely Vango can sneak into the tale of Vlad and Vanka.

Taps fingers ....

Wouldn't bother me.
If fact, it would be rather lovely to have a permanent reminder of the good natured community that's built up on this thread.

Waiting...

Don't know whether anyone else has spotted this, and @Schadenfreude is too modest to mention it, I'm sure, but Vladimir and Vanka are currently guest-starring over on the safe cracking thread here

Thanks Cedilla - but now Spangran will know about Vlad's perfidy, and how he put cold, hard cash over helping a lady in distress.

He has pee'd on his own chips, and it serves him right!

@Schadenfreude this will keep us nicely entertained while we await the ARRIVAL OF THE SUPER-IMPORTANT PLANNERS

C8 here is what I get when I click on an item on Trello
I then click the link and it takes me to the beginning of the thread. Maybe it's because I don't have bookmarks turned on?

I rent out a grade 2 listed house and it's in a conservation area. The NDN took it upon herself to demolish her front wall to make a parking space,
I rang the planning department and they came round the next day and within a week she had someone round rescuing the bricks and rebuilding ( hopefully a very expensive lesson learnt!)

What a bloody cheek Strawberry

I don't know where some people get their brass necks, I really don't.

Click again Bore where the thread title is. It should take you through.

C8 - may I say that your Trello thread descriptions/ titles are INSPIRED. Really hilarious and very apposite to boot!

Sorry Bore Thread description, not title

As you were.

Whatis I do hope you get some progress today. While I am enjoying the thread and I can't help thinking it must be quite stressful for you.

I love that t-shirt.

Apparently Dundee has a flag too

Bedtime in NZ ... hope something concrete happens today! Will read the update on thread 10 tomorrow 😊

Suggested title "Vlad's revenge : the CFN saga continues #10"

@Braeburns we should def have an NZ meet up! It's not exactly the largest town 😉 Enjoy Wanaka, are you skiing? Must be freezing!
