CoatZilla and the Barbour Boy- The Second Saga

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?

Give up, Bumble, it's never going to happen.

I've just watched the Christmas ad, this has got to be a SM stunt surely?! It's too much of a coincidence!! I know MNHQ verified the OP has been around for years but someone has got to work for Barbour....

InvisibleWomenMustBeRead · 05/11/2019 16:28

If it were a stunt, then I think it's backfired massively as I'd never consider one of their coats based on the feedback here!

@SchadenfiendeUnmortified - May I introduce CatBastard to your ginger bastardcats - I feel they will get on! Here he is, picking on one of the dogs.

Can someone link the advert I can’t find it online?

rslsys · 05/11/2019 20:48

So, do I buy a Barbour Jacket - or not??

LutherRalph1 · 05/11/2019 20:52

In all seriousness, mine broke in less than 2 weeks and is being assessed for repair now Hmm

AloneLonelyLoner · 05/11/2019 21:34

I think we should all watch the crappy ad on YouTube and give it the thumbs down.

SchadenfiendeUnmortified · 05/11/2019 22:13

He looks suitably bastardy Genius.

And I like your teal-coloured wall. Very nice.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 06/11/2019 12:11

We used to keep the dogs' food in an open cake box, on top of the microwave - to keep it out of the dogs' reach. I once came downstairs and found CatBastard standing knee deep IN the dogs' food, eating around himself, while the dogs looked on in absolute horror!

He'll stand in the back door, so they can't get in from the garden, because they are too scared to walk past him - even though he weighs 10lb, wringing wet, and they are over 35kg each!

I like the teal too - thank you @SchadenfiendeUnmortified. Thanks

SchadenfiendeUnmortified · 06/11/2019 14:08

Your dog looks wary even curled up on a chair . . .

Our cats are often seen devouring the dog food, and have been known to slash bags of dog and cat food open and help themselves. We have to be alert because if the dogs find the open bags they'll eat themselves into insensibility, the stupid sods!
