CoatZilla and the Barbour Boy- The Second Saga

[LanaKaneIsWeirdedOut]

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.

or 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?

So rude and bad mannered when op's don't come back with updates after asking folk for help🙄 some great advice for op (and fab poems😁) on here!

Yes to @notsodimwit and @lesleyw1953 I agree totally. The op cared enough to start, wanted our inputs etc and buggered off. I posted a similar “law” on another thread recently ( admittedly the op in that didn’t even reply which is worse!). We’ve helped, listed and supported it’s only fair.

Fab poems though!👍🏻

Shamelessly placemarking in case of update 😊

@WhinyWa 👏👏

@LanaKaneIsWeirdedOut
Did she find this thread?

Good grief
What on earth is this loud gobby abusive confrontational soap opera doing on here ?!

@LanaKaneIsWeirdedOut is watching this thread and laughing her ass off that her absolute nonsense story has everyone still checking in. Can't figure out how to remove it from my 'I'm on' list. Anyone able to help please?

.

You can hide the thread. If you're using the Mumsnet app, you can slide the thread to select options, which are hide/unwatch or share.

Nice one, Whiny

There's 3 possible scenarios which explain why there is no update:

1. OP has forgiven coatzilla and taken responsibility for over reacting. OP has profusely apologised and coatzilla has her feet up while OP cooks her some roast potatoes.

2. coatzilla has discovered the thread and kicked off. OP has profusely apologised and coatzilla has her feet up while OP cooks her some roast potatoes.

3. one of OP's family members has taken responsibility for coat cutting. OP has profusely apologised and coatzilla has her feet up while OP cooks her some roast potatoes.

@purplepalace that hilarious and probably true 😂

Ah, anticlimax!

Hope all is okay OP

T S Eliot: The Wasteland of Unresolved Threads.

"And would an update have been worth it, after all,
After the poems, the Barbours, the tea,
Among the porcelain, among some talk of you and me,
Would it have been worth while,
To have eaten up the roasties with a smile
To have squeezed the jacket into a ball
To roll it toward some overwhelming question,
To say: “I am Lana, come and be fed,
Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all”—
If Coatzilla, eating roasties in her bed,
Should say: “That is not what Lana meant at all;
That is not it, at all.”

@purplepalace

@fazakerleyjackie fabulous

She must have found the thread or I do believe we would have had an update.

Purplepalace, you're wonderful!

Any thread which runs to 1000 posts in a day with multiple and regular updates from the OP who then disappears is generally the plot line of a drama not created to resolve one. ;) IMO obviously.

I think something bad has happened and that is taking priority. Or Coatzilla has vandalised their OP's phone in revenge. Or done a Halloween special.

Sorry ive got the giggles over purples post excellent

Mumsnet can we have a roast potato emoji instead of the biscuit i think its more appropriate

It's amazing what you can do with a good pair of shears.
