You guys need to stop filling the thread when nothing is happening!!

In the meantime I had the most amazing nights sleep last night. Absolutely full of food and had an amazing day and frankly this morning I couldn't care if he's there for 6 months Grin

So what did CF say to your brother? Any explanations? Excuses? Reasons?!

Gizlotsmum · 02/08/2021 17:37

Your DB is a genius!!

Monicuddle · 02/08/2021 17:38

This is amazing. Screw the olympics, OP and your brother both deserve Gold medals. Please please get DB to tell him you’ll just be five minutes when he returns at 7.30pm.

DB text.

"Enemy vanquished. Hes calling for the return of his lift. Have said you'll.be back at 7.30ish but he might be best checking with you before he comes because you are quite lax with your times. I inserted an eyeroll at this point. And often your times can be several hours off. You get it off our Dad. Me I'm very punctual. Saves alot of hassle"

This is literally the best thing I've read all day 🤣🤣🤣🤣

NumberTheory · 02/08/2021 17:38

If he texts to say he’ll be there at 7:30 you could reply that you’ve agreed to go out with friends tonight since he’d said he couldn’t make it, so it’ll have to be tomorrow at [whatever time is convenient for you].

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 02/08/2021 17:38

Poor Bruce G will be thinking he's been stood up. I can just picture him killing time by forlornly spreading his hand out on the table and doing that 'stab with a pen between your fingers' thing for hours.

WhereYouLeftIt · 02/08/2021 17:38

Your brother is a STAR!

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 02/08/2021 17:38

go for chips on the way home,

he's bound to try and shout at you as he leaves...you can hurl them through the window at him.

TheSunShinesBrighter · 02/08/2021 17:39

Almost 2 hours to go....
You’re going to have to make another thread by then OP.

trappedsincesundaymorn · 02/08/2021 17:40

Loving the PA dig at CF by your DB. Grin

Noshowlomo · 02/08/2021 17:40

I think everyone wants to know if you're brother is single and on Tinder OP? :)

StrongTea · 02/08/2021 17:40

I can just picture him getting redder and redder in the face with rage that his demands have not been met.

ShamelessCurtainTwitcher · 02/08/2021 17:40

AIBU to suddenly find DB really sexy all of the sudden?

WhoaBettyWhite · 02/08/2021 17:40

Good lord, my days and nights will be so empty when this CF finally gets his car back and this thread goes dormant..!!! Smile

BobLemon · 02/08/2021 17:40
Shock

Dying to find out from your DB if the CF even offered an apology!

Bargebill19 · 02/08/2021 17:41

😍 your brother is fab and should be in the mumsnet hall of fame. 🌟🌟🌟

Piggywaspushed · 02/08/2021 17:41

[quote Faevern]@SecretKeeper1 I thinks it's a kebab you will need. But it's not Gazza I know him and he doesn't live in a forest. Well unless he's camping or fishing of course ....[/quote]
Oh no, definitely a cooked chicken he takes to friends in need. Although that didn't end -or begin- well.

LavenderAskew · 02/08/2021 17:41

I do hope your DB stressed a lot about CF leaving the car and being told not to come at 5 too.

If the car, sorry Ranger, doesn't bother you then you could string out this telling him to come back for a while - maybe three days...

Oh fantastic!!!!

And at last! A parking thread where I'm not disappointed because the OP has caved in and "been the 'better' person."

So funny he thought he could roll up and collect his car, so waved his lift off before making sure. That is Grade A entitlement.

@ShamelessCurtainTwitcher

I cannot be the only American who has read all three threads and has been left in awe at how much the British can endure without shooting someone.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Shooting is too quick.

We all do 😳

KarlUrbansWife · 02/08/2021 17:42

This is truly outstanding 🤣
You MUST tell us what happens at 19:30!

PyjamaFan · 02/08/2021 17:42

Did the CF apologise at any point in the conversation with DB?

HyacynthBucket · 02/08/2021 17:42

DB is totally awesome.
