I know I'm not being unreasonable about this parking!!! (with diagram)

But I thought I'd share anyway.

This happens on our street a LOT and I just don't understand how people can be so inconsiderate, the gap between the wing mirror and wall isn't big enough for a child to slip through and the car is so huge it blocks pedestrians from seeing whats coming without stepping into the road.
Not to mention that he's parked on a T-junction.

GRR!

First time I have met Vlad and Vanka. Do they realise you can get toffee vodka in the north!

Would have loved to have been at the Tesco. My friend has the cowboy and pony ( express) OP.
Wonders what OP was buying in TESCO 😉 thinking about what she said she was going to stock up with hmm😉😉 say no more.

Look out for badly parked four wheeled untaxed cars in Tesco car park OP. You never know!

FlashTheSloth · 13/01/2018 22:54

I want to go to a fantasy themed fancy dress party! Just so I can wear that spectacular unicorn costume and prance about (thankfully without camel toe).

I hope you fully inflated and pranced about proudly in Tesco OP! 😁

bingbongnoise · 13/01/2018 22:59

I have also asked MN to consider this for CLASSICS Grin

MakeMisogynyAHateCrime · 13/01/2018 23:10

Bloody Vlad and Vanka.

UnsuspectedItem · 13/01/2018 23:21

A good night so far, Tinker Bell has got off with Harry Potter and DeadPool has stolen my unicorn.

TheSassyAssassin · 13/01/2018 23:24

Brilliant update and sounds like fab party! Do you need the thread to deal with DeadPool? Grin

Goodasgoldilox · 13/01/2018 23:27

Does Deadpool understand the importance of considerate unicorn-parking?

MaitlandGirl · 13/01/2018 23:30

I know the thread has moved on but something you said earlier scared me

Old man in strange Russian hat has decided this is more interesting than walking his dog and has stopped for a gawp. it wasn’t a black cocker spaniel was it? My parents are in Staffs and the combination of old man/Russian hat/dog sounds like my dad!!

CariadAur · 13/01/2018 23:31

More to the point... Is Deadpool good looking?

BlooBagoo · 13/01/2018 23:32

Oh @SchadenfreudePersonified that's perfect! I feel like I owe Vlad an apology now though. 

@UnsuspectedItem - just wondering if Deadpool is single, we could have a happy ending after all. WinkGrin

MaitlandGirl · 13/01/2018 23:45

Proof that Deadpool and the unicorn are meant to be together :)

Enirroc · 13/01/2018 23:54

Amazing...

CaveMum · 13/01/2018 23:56

What if, in a major plot twist, Deadpool is CF driver?!

PavlovaPrincess · 14/01/2018 00:03

I love Vlad and Vanka! They should pop up on threads more often

No. They really, really shouldn't.

MakeMisogynyAHateCrime · 14/01/2018 02:08

What Pavlova said.

ohnonotanothernewbie · 14/01/2018 02:57

I would agree with pavlova re Vlad etc. I am genuinely not someone to take offence at the drop of a hat, but it was actually so uncomfortable to read that I stopped halfway through

GinSolvesEverything · 14/01/2018 06:24

What they said - too many excellent threads are being derailed by a really unfunny in-joke.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 14/01/2018 07:44

Awww, disappointed that CF got to drive his tank away rather than having it towed, but very happy that V&V turned up!

Nice unicorn too, unsuspected - hope you had a great party!

Agree with GinSolves re: Vlad and Vanka. Totally unfunny and thread derailing in-joke.

JustAnIdiot · 14/01/2018 09:04

When your unicorn was stolen, were you left without any trousers, or is that not how the thing works?

Confused Hmm

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 14/01/2018 09:09

Yes, we need to know what OP was wearing under her unicorn.

I loved V&V in the first thread they turned up in, but agree that it's rather flogging a dead horse unicorn now

KayaG · 14/01/2018 10:02

The unicorn is dead????????????????????????

HonkyWonkWoman · 14/01/2018 10:20

Let us not start squabbling about Vlad and Vanka and spoil this delightful thread. Let each, post as they wish without censure.
This is a fun post, not a discussion post.
That is unless discussing CF, pickle officers, dog walking men in Russian hats, camel toes, prancercising and Uuuuuunnnniiiccoooorrrnnnnssss!

PericardiumOne · 14/01/2018 10:22

OP, I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart for cheering me up on an otherwise very dull weekend!
