Started a new thread on the off chance () that something funny might happen in my street later. Maybe around 10pm...

Diagram below for the handful of people in the country that haven't printed it off yet...

DM has scared of the OP

Vinorosso74 · 03/02/2020 14:55

Sums the Daily Fail up really! I wonder if B recognises herself from the article? Or is she an Express reader?

LakieLady · 03/02/2020 14:58

Mrs B must be due home soon, surely?

What spaces are free, OP? Can we look forward to more shenanigans?

Oh, and fuck off, Daily Mail.

At the risk of being burnt at the stake, here's today's update...I've gone out and left my workmen with lots of coffee. Van is in 1/2, 2 Strange Cars are there and no one else is home.

Can't wait for the B update. I'm sure op isn't worried about the DM... Unless B has figured it out and come round to 'sort out' op. I'm sure she's busy with work /workmen.... I hope. Come back op we need to know what's happening.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 03/02/2020 15:16

I love how the shitty DM called OP a "curtain twitcher"; clearly they didn't read the thread or they'd know she has blinds!

To be fair, though, if they put 'blind twitcher', everybody would just be puzzled, thinking "But how does she identify the birds just by listening to them?"

GiveHerHellFromUs · 03/02/2020 15:16

@originalcatlady don't worry. If anyone clicks on and takes a look at this thread they'll find it hilarious.

Apart from Batshit Bertha, but what can she do?
Report you to the council for having two cars? Grin

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 03/02/2020 15:20

When we find out that B is actually Katie Hopkins or Samantha Brick, we will be able to consider MN completed and able to shut up shop for good Grin

sunshinesupermum · 03/02/2020 15:54

OP how dare you go out (and have a life) and stop 'curtain twitching'!

TeetotalKoala · 03/02/2020 16:04

Bravo Grin

letmebefrank · 03/02/2020 16:06

Heck, I'd just put a copy of the DM story through B's door for laughs, with a note thanking her for the entertainment via her sense of entitlement to TWO spaces of public street parking/

originalcatlady · 03/02/2020 16:32

B has gone out and left her car next to strange car. My workmen have gone and the street is filling up...

OP posts:
sunshinesupermum · 03/02/2020 16:37

Remind me where strange car is parked again? Sorry, can't keep up today due to terrible headache.

originalcatlady · 03/02/2020 16:38

Strange car is next to X, further along from the diagram.

Would NEVER normally read anything in the evil daily mail, but had a quick look at the spin they'd put on it. Can't believe the way they have twisted the story to make Mr A a bad guy for 'hogging' and 'holding claim to' the disabled space. It's his bloody disabled space!! Bastards.

Fairenuff · 03/02/2020 16:53

We're going to need a bigger diagram.

Alert the media!

LakieLady · 03/02/2020 16:53

Well, I hope Batshit Bertha picks up a copy of the DM while she's out.

And that she gets home before she spontaneously combusts.

olbndansmummy · 03/02/2020 17:17

Ffs the daily fail again. OP are there any houses for sale on alphabet street? Got a car, a van and camper van, so could have great fun rotating the vehicles in 1/2, obviously without inconveniencing the nice people on the street 😁

DartmoorDoughnut · 03/02/2020 17:27

So glad you came back OP

originalcatlady · 03/02/2020 17:51

The evening positions are: B, Strange Car, X. Mrs K in 1, C in 2, D in 3, F in 4. See how we all fit in when we play nicely?

OP posts:
originalcatlady · 03/02/2020 17:52

Thank you @DartmoorDoughnut, I was in two minds. Let's hope they don't hunt me out later 😂

OP are there any houses for sale on alphabet street?

You can be very confident that the DM would have included this vital information in their 'article', were it the case, with price and a link to Rightmove. Personally, I find it impossible to relate to any other person or scenario without being told how much their house is worth Grin

HavelockVetinari · 03/02/2020 17:58

Where is Mr K?

purplecorkheart · 03/02/2020 17:58

I assume you are going to print the article out and put under the windscreen wipers of all the cars.

HorseFlyOfExtraordinaryLength · 03/02/2020 18:31

This thread keeps reminding me of The Beatles, Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite
...there will be a show tonight......what a scene!....
In this way Mr K will challenge the world.
The celebrated Mr K performs his feat on Saturday.....don't be late
Messers K and H assure the public their production will be second to none.
....at ten to six when Mr K performs his tricks...
and Mr H will demonstrate....
Having been some days in preparation a splendid time is guaranteed for all!

I'll say.
