Some requests...

Please may I have a polecat in my pocket? Will the kiddies allow me one? I saw them on a David Attenborough programme and totally fell in love with them. And if I had a window seat, he/she would love the sights, I'm sure...
And, at the end of the trip when we're, hopefully, a bit tanked up, a maudlin rendition of Thank you for being a Friend?
Ta...

Tigerlovingall, a polecat? Are you mad?

Tigerlovingall · 08/08/2017 21:35

Am I mad? Yep, a bitSmile

I'm still in n.c.usa, and I'd really,really love to bring over a mongoose cos I've been watching a family of them walking along....mum and babies in a line and I'm sure she wouldn't miss the littlest baby at the back, but I think the immigration peeps might object, so....a polecat, please? Or a slow worm...
Or even just a medium fast ordinary garden worm, please.
A sleepy one...
Actually, cue for a song? Isn't there an old queen one? Bout won't somebody find me someone(thing) to love?

Foxtrot please amend route if agreed to include hen night from Toddzilla thread. All MNers on thread are going along so have asked if we can pitch up. Squoosh is their organiser.

Be aware all people on Toddzilla thread are bringing children, animals, grannies (). Animals seem to be chiming on this thread already so could you book another coach? Pref open-topped for very large animals and appropriate pooperscooper. Please confirm.

A la proxima - and come back Whattyy

OK, I'm actually getting quite worried now.

Foxtrot, millie,

Would a convoy of these be any use?

I just spent a whole afternoon of supervising my 5yo but instead catching up on all 10 threads 😳 I have to say, it's nice to not have to wait for the updates but I definitely missed some of the humour while super-fast-scrolling to the green posts!
Hope there are more updates soon 😊

LadyCassandra, in one afternoon? Wow. Your brain must feel frazzled!

simon50 · 09/08/2017 09:09

Where's Watty? My days not the same without an update !

LadyCassandra · 09/08/2017 09:52

I was tired, so went to bed for an hour and got sucked in! Confused

possomblossom · 09/08/2017 09:57

I've been watching this thread, pausing only to heave my jaw up from the floor on occasion, and it has been fascinating. Our Ns planning ginormous new extension, which will get approval as it is in line with others already done on the road. We'll miss evening sunshine, but nowt to be done about it. However, no architectural treasures will be destroyed and the new Ns have been round to see us and given us their plans, at least advising us of what's in the offing. I hope that Wattyy gets full satisfaction soonest (not placemarking).

LIVING NEXT DOOR TO MALICE

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 09/08/2017 13:51

WalkingInTheAir,

See, your Swedish Grindcore would nicely complement a PP's call for some Misery Index...am just a bit concerned re their potential for...um...group singing and they'd terrify the bejeezus out of a lot

However, we did rashly state "any genre", so would be hypocritical to exclude Metal. What falls within the category of "Melodic Death Metal", though?

Could we compromise and have a soundproofed section for Metalheads (and fans of any other serious shit unnerving stuff...Ditto Hardcore Punk? Power Electronics?) to enjoy to your heart's content, or would you feel discriminated against?

Maybe it's a typo, and you actually meant "Living Next Door To Alice" by Smokie? Wink

BluebellsareBlue · 09/08/2017 14:15

Ok I've had to skim read the last two threads as have been busy....
did we get a Monday update?

Last update I read was Sean Connery style man from planning with nice shoes has been and he was pure raging bull angry.

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 09/08/2017 14:21

Thanks Marilyn

milliemolliemou · 09/08/2017 15:35

I'm fascinated by the coaches but I did say we needed an open topped bus for larger animals. Squoosh on Toddzilla might be able to help since I think there's a giraffe and an elephant coming to the CFHen along with massed dogs, cats, fish, pine martens etc ... and don't forget the snake.

I am bowing out until Wattyy comes back do you think she's forbidden to contact MN until it's sorted legally? Has Poobah and Wonderful Planning Officer aka Bill Nighy put the kybosh on this thread? Or is it Vlad?

We thought we'd get the update on ?Monday? Ho humm

Just going to Trello ....

Correct song but definitely NOT a typo.
