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?

And Jackie- you really are wasted here - your poetry is fantastic!

This post was worth it just for the poetry! Hope you're ok OP

@fazackerleyjackie
Great ode but sadly, Mr Kipling makes exceedingly SMALL cakes.

Man, I'm really feeling the need for an update on this one!!

Hope all is well.

That was the year of the Brexit bother. Which
Was more important? I inclined
To lose my faith in Lana and Coatzilla
Till Mumsnet's ghost came whispering to my mind.
She said: I made the Iliad from such
A local row. Gods make their own importance.

It was DS in the hallway with the craft scissors. Anyone have a better guess?

I think OP is having her induction for her new job as Head Of Marketing for a company in South Shields and will be back for the weekend.

Someone has sneaked into my house and cut a corner shaped hole into the quilt I'm making. Perhaps there is, in fact, a rash of snipping gremlins.

Just spent ages reading both threads. I do hope the op got it all sorted for the sake of everyone in the house.

@SecondRow That's fantastic, more please!

I wonder if this whole thing was made up.
No doubt OP is having a good laugh and busy posting under another name.

I think the Kipling parody wins, but just for @fazakerleyjackie , and with sincere apologies to Virgil, I offer the following:

I sing of coats and the girl, she who, exiled by rent,
first came to the home of Lana, and to
the Lanian world - lured temptingly by endless roasties, and longing for rest,
she who brought a Barbour, on the strength of her savings,
sliced at night by some cruel resident, father, son or darling partner,
Or yet even by cruel Lana’s remorseless anger.
Mumsnet, tell me the cause! How she was offended in her dignity,
how she was grieved, that visitor to the home, by the propinguity,
of her fine Barbour coat to the others modestly hanging there,
that someone was moved to cause such wrath, to seize the scissors
and make the cut. Can there be such perfidy amongst friends?

Aargh, I'm a one-trick pony I'm afraid, fazackerly . The Patrick Kavanagh one was fresh in my mind because it was the best reply by far on a twitter thread recently about something entirely different - well actually, it was a pair of lost socks, so...

I stand in your shadow with a votive offering of 'taters to the Matronae.

I ❤️ the Virgil BiggestJulie

@SecondRow one trick pony myself, did anyone cut holes in the twitter lost socks? If so, you have a captive audience awaiting your story

Any update?

Has she been murdered with the coat sniping scissors?

Unless there is a really good (and unlikely) explanation for the OP to suddenly go AWOL for 3 days considering the multitude and details of the previous updates then I have to conclude that the OP's behaviour is pretty pathetic and would make you question whether it was a bit of a fantasy all along.

I would still doubt that it's a fantasy as most people must have busy enough lives than to be making this up.

No obligation of course to update but, in the context of the support she received, pretty pathetic in my opinion.

Another ‘wind them up and watch them go’ 🙄

sigh

Still no update? Sad times!

I really don't know why I keep checking this thread :(

This is the third or fourth thread like this that I've read and really want to know the outcome but it's gone cold. Am starting to think I am cursed!

I really don't know why I keep checking this thread

Same. I really need to start not getting reeled in and believing threads on here.
