Locked Parking Thread - The Actual End

This has been a wild ride made substantially more entertaining by DBs shenanigans but the end is in sight.

Hopefully by 8.35 the car will be free. I will be downing something alcoholic and next time the straw comes I'll make him bring it in by hand one bale at a time WITHOUT unlocking the gate!

I'm going to go for dignified and just let him out and convince myself that him moving it at all makes this a draw my victory. He no doubt will do the same and we'll both potter off happily into the sunset hopefully never to meet again!

Omg thank god I found this thread! I read the whole first one LIVE and then it got full and I never came across any others!

Can't believe i missed THREE others threads!

@over50andfab

Just thinking that *@MNHQ* must have some stats on how many have been reading these threads and if they'd like to share this information as would love to know?? 🤔

Also wondering if your DB has joined MN and also reading and might like to contribute 😉

Just me constantly refreshing to keep it up in the top spots. Got to get that Toby carvery PR and DB a girlfriend somehow. Wink

Although DB will murder me for talking about him on here. Actually murder me. So if you don't hear from me he's found the thread and I'm dead. And fed to pigs. Send help.

I live in the country and I actually believe Ford must of done a job lot sale of Rangers here.
Happy to swap for a dusty old Corsa at 8:40pm, but will probably need to bring a step stool and cushion as a 5'2 female to try and get in it !

TwoMuchTwoYoung · 03/08/2021 19:14

No no no no noooooooooooo
You have to at least ask for an explanation and an apology.

MaMelon · 03/08/2021 19:16

Marking my place on what I secretly hope won’t be the last thread on this topic 🤞

Tigerstripe20 · 03/08/2021 19:16

And I am actually from somewhere where it was believed a missing person was fed to pigs ....dundundun

Channel your inner Primary school teacher
"what's the magic word?"

Dont let him out until you have heard both Please and Sorry.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 03/08/2021 19:17

I'm hoping that the FC Rangers will come to the rescue at 8.22pm because they suddenly need to gain immediate access, just in time for the CF Ranger Owner to see them hoying it across the road with the assistance of their proper vehicle a battered RAV4.

Bornin1989 · 03/08/2021 19:17

You really need an apology from him at the very least - please don't let him just get the car and go, that would seemingly be letting him get away with it.

No opening the gate until he says sorry!!!

lastcall · 03/08/2021 19:17

Roll on 8:30...

fluffedup · 03/08/2021 19:18

Ask him why he lied to you when he said he'd only be 5 minutes. Don't let him dress it up as a misunderstanding or a mistake. It was a deliberate lie.

'Although DB will murder me for talking about him on here. Actually murder me. So if you don't hear from me he's found the thread and I'm dead. And fed to pigs. Send help.'
Oh no! That's not on @BlueEyesWhiteDragon. There was me all ready to set up a BlueEyesWhiteDragon's DB fan thread! Sad

(I still might anyway)

PyjamaFan · 03/08/2021 19:19

Thread 5!

I'm going to miss you OP!

Bookworm20 · 03/08/2021 19:19

@SunShinesBrightly

I’ll bet money on him saying no more than ‘I’m here for my car’. Twat.
Oh no @SunShinesBrightly it’ll be ‘I’m here for my Ranger’ But yeah. Twat.
ShamelessCurtainTwitcher · 03/08/2021 19:21

@Fernando072020

I'm going to miss this saga 😂 I feel it's a part of all of our lives!

If only cf knew how many people have expressed their rage towards him and that there's 4000 messages about him on the internet 😆

The real cheeky fuckers were the friends we made along the way.
HappyGoLuckyLuLu · 03/08/2021 19:21

If he starts like he did to your DB that you have his ranger locked on your land, then you say 'Yep. Longest 5 minutes of my life. Lucky for you the FC didn't need emergency access.'

ThisIsMyThread · 03/08/2021 19:22

OP, surely Toby Carvery should treat you and your family to a free carvery after all the advertising you’ve done for them.
If not how about us MNer’s club together 🤣

Stevearnottsbeard · 03/08/2021 19:22

Going to miss this thread... Hope it gets added to classics so we can keep rereading!!! 😂 😂 😂 😂

And now we wait...........🤞
Yep I'm placemarking

BlueEyesWhiteDragon · 03/08/2021 19:23

@BlueLobelia

I always wanted to live on a farm.

Wot with this and the previous horse owner saga I am thinking it all sounds really rather stressful

(In other words- placemarking. ;) )

Grin Right now its quiet and peaceful if that helps? The sun is shining, birds singing, and just me tapping away loudly on my keyboard swatting a cat away because she insists on trying to sit on it whilst I type.

We only have insanity periodically and I think that's me. I seem to attract the oddness. Did you also know another skill I have is I can find a shop that sells Magic cards (trading card game not magic magic) in any town / city that has one even if I have never been there before. Its a very very lame superpower.

I know some people think this is a troll thread but this is nothing compared to some previous shenanigans we've had. We don't get them much now because between better fencing, people having mobile phones so calling for their own assistance and more police patrols in the car park we get left alone. But some of the stories are truly in the realms of insane.

I have 1hr to do a workout, shower and sit on the couch furiously refreshing this thread...Its an exhilarating evening ahead!

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 03/08/2021 19:23

And in the interim you have passed on my note of marriage to your brother yes?

Howd thee 'orses, the tombola hasn't been drawn yet!

She should sooo print off all threads and roll them up and ‘file’neatly in his exhaust pipe.

Presuming you're actually meaning his exhaust pipe and not the one on the car Grin

KupoNutCoffee · 03/08/2021 19:23

I foresee it going down one of two ways:

CF knocks I'm here for my penis substitute ranger
OP: Let me get the key for the gate.
Opens gate
CF: *gets in silently" shouts "Cheers, mate" out the window

or

Once safely in his BeastMobile, shouts "about fucking time, love"

What wouldn't have crossed his mind, would be picking up some flowers/chocolate and actually making an apology.
