CoatZilla and the Barbour Boy- The Second Saga

792 replies

LanaKaneIsWeirdedOut · 29/10/2019 11:09

Hey everyone!

Bloody hell, in all my years of MNing I've never had a response like this, I was really helped by loads of your replies, and loads made me giggle (Roast Potatoes!!) and loads made good points.

I'm sorry I can't reply to specific posts but seriously there's so many.

Wine Brew Cake or Gin for everyone who replied and is sticking with me.

So on to the update.....

CoatZilla, henceforth to be known as CZ, text again last night....

Here it is word for word.
mate, your obviously upset and that was never my intention. I'm sorry that we argued, I honestly didn't see the conversation going that way when I brought it up. I think it's better we let the dust settle for tonight in honesty. Probably best to have a calm conversation tomorrow evening?

My reply....
Yeah tomorrow evening much better I think

And she didn't come back last night (good!)

So she's made a mistake anyway......cos Dad was actually out last night ! So we'll all be sitting there when she comes back.

My plan is, to write a list of bullet points for tonight of things she definitely said, so I can't forget and she can't back out of it or claim she didn't say it (I also remembered another bit in the fucking row- where she went "Oh, so a fucking ghost did it?" in that tone of voice- fucking horrible)

Also to sit calmly and let her explain to my lovely Dad and DP that she thinks they might have maliciously cut her coat.

Then see what she says!

TBH unless she fucking grovels on her knees (not likely after that fucking last text- minimization or what??) I'm going to be asking her to pack her stuff.

I'm not being "spurred on by hysterical posters"

I have read all the replies, some have opened my eyes, some have been excusing, some have told me not to rock the friendship boat....overall I have taken a middle(ish) ground.....but tbh it's clear she is
a) weird/horrible enough to think that of her oldest friend and her family
b) fucking vicious in a row
c) now backtracking massively

So....thoughts???

And again for the troll hunters in the back......my username currently is always "LanaKanesomething", and I've had various other names going back years.....so bloody well report me and see what MN has to say, yeah?

I hope your friend has apologised PROFUSELY and offered to move out asap. I too would have been very upset by her attitude

user1471549213 · 29/10/2019 20:28

Hope.the chat is going well and your friend has apologised profusely. Somehow I doubt it though and she's probably packing her bag right now.

Poptasmagorical · 29/10/2019 20:29

I’ve been reading your threads and not commented because everyone has said everything that popped into my head, but just wanted to give you an extra good luck and glass of Gin

DNR · 29/10/2019 20:34

HollyIvyWillow, OP has had a really nasty attack. Show some empathy!

CharityConundrum · 29/10/2019 20:40

This is just to say

I have cut
your jacket
that was in
the hall

and which
you were probably
going to admit
to stealing

Forgive me
it was snip-tastic
so waxy
and so odd

ContessaLovesTheSunshine · 29/10/2019 20:43

Charity, that is amazing - I also can't work out where I know the style from and it's killing me Grin

Singlebutmarried · 29/10/2019 20:45

@ContessaLovesTheSunshine it’s not haiku, but nor is it iambic pentameter

GeneParmesanPrivateEye · 29/10/2019 20:45

Contessa - I feel sure it's Williams Carlos Williams inspired.

SO good, @CharityConundrum Grin

GeneParmesanPrivateEye · 29/10/2019 20:46

@Singlebutmarried - look up William Carlos Williams 'this is just to say'...

CharityConundrum · 29/10/2019 20:46

I can give you a clue - WCW...

fab WCW inspired poem. Well done @CharityConundrum

Redshoeblueshoe · 29/10/2019 20:48

CharityConundrum · 29/10/2019 20:49

Oops - many much quicker fingers than mine got in there first!
It's always where my brain goes whenever apologies or plums are discussed. I imagine if iceboxes came up in conversation more that would also be a trigger.

SirVixofVixHall · 29/10/2019 20:54

That poem ..😂😂😂😂

Littlemissdaredevil · 29/10/2019 20:56

Said I'll always be your friend
Got a cheap room, I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that I’ll eat your leftovers
I bought myself a barbourella

You ripped my barbourella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Ripped by barbourella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)

Ripped my barbourella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh)
Ripped my barbourella
(Ella ella, eh eh eh eh, eh eh)

CodenameVillanelle · 29/10/2019 21:04

Charity and littlemiss you are both brilliant

TripleSeptic · 29/10/2019 21:05

Stay classy Lana ❤ you're handling this really well

Hepzibar · 29/10/2019 21:07

Things guaranteed to kill a thread - poems, people posting song lyrics and next will be photos.

Themutts · 29/10/2019 21:11

Ok I've not got a poem but I'm on your team!

Interestedwoman · 29/10/2019 21:15

How're you doing, OP? Any developments? xx

@ContessaLovesTheSunshine it's that completely shit William Carlos Williams poem that every first year English Lit student studies in their first semester, & which has been parodied to death because it doesn't rhyme so it's really, really easy.
