Well done C!

originalcatlady · 27/02/2020 09:22

@BruceAndNosh I don't need to. I actually think in numbers and letters whenever I see them now Blush

Who else thinks New Car was working with C?

I think there's something going on with this thread. It only shows up in my "watching" menu not my "I'm on" menu even though I've commented several times

originalcatlady · 27/02/2020 10:25

Ooo M doesn't sound happy. B has managed to change out of her dressing gown to go and tell her how there are no spaces, same speech about ridiculous and having to stop blah blah.

M asked her to move to the space that's free now GrinGrinGrin

B is now in 3. It looks very strange.

@originalcatlady would you be able to repost the diagram please. I know I should know by now but like the visual so I can snigger 🤭

She remonstrated with M while parked on M’s own drive??

Wow.
Bare faced cheek of the woman

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 27/02/2020 11:44

I am utterly addicted to this thread.....

Gooseysgirl · 27/02/2020 11:48

Mrs B is the ultimate in CF-ery!!! I can't believe M had to ask her to move 🤣

Gooseysgirl · 27/02/2020 11:48

I'm intrigued by C...

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 27/02/2020 11:53

I'm sure Mr B is getting it in the neck for not checking the origins of Strange Cars. Or for protecting her space when she goes out.

Next move...
Cones.

(Or Mr B in a garden chair)

NoGravyForYou · 27/02/2020 11:56

I'm surprised she hasn't started leaving things ( or Mr B himself ) out to mark her spot. When I lived in an area with on street parking people did this all the time. It was annoying when you came home with a full load of shopping and ended up parked 5 houses away but it is what it is. Couldn't bring myself to get too worked up about it!

PotterHead1985 · 27/02/2020 12:06

GrinGrinGrinBIIG glass of wine for C!! (Which handily starts the word criminal!) I would say B is frothing

ATowelAndAPotato · 27/02/2020 12:16

B will be resorting to this next!

TheHumanSatsuma · 27/02/2020 12:44

I like the idea of Mr B lying prone in 1/2 to reserve space for her ladyship.

Sissymate2 · 27/02/2020 13:03

@TheHumanSatsuma
That's a brilliant ideaGrin

Sissymate2 · 27/02/2020 13:06

@originalcatlady
What did your DS say when you ran up to his room to peep out his window the other night so that you could hear Mrs.Bs ranting?

originalcatlady · 27/02/2020 13:19

I have an unwakeable child! But even my self absorbed teenagers have been known to laugh when witnessing a B rage!

She needs the famous Pittsburgh Parking Chair

Go M for making batshit B move!

I've binged all three threads today as I battle my whinging velcro 8 week old and I'm totally hooked!!

Presents a hand made carrot cake and tea to all

Sissymate2 · 27/02/2020 16:19

@BruceAndNosh
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for digging
(pun intended) up that article....Id love to see what Mrs.Bs chair would look like.What do you think?....Im imaging the tacky floral kind from a 1960s dinette with Mr.B perched on it.....as they are a cheeky lot on Alphabet St. and someone would just slide an unoccupied chair out of the street or run off with itGrin
Can't you just picture Mrs.B revving her way out of 1/2, zooming off to work and leaving MrB sat in 1/2 all day for hours till his honey comes roaring home🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sissymate2 · 27/02/2020 16:26

@MoominKitty
How very kind of you to provide handmade carrot cake and tea for us...better get cracking on all those cakes though as the whole world is anxiously awaiting a delicious bite....and I'd love to have a cuddle with your whinging 8week old velcro whilst you're baking.CakeSmile

Forflipssake2 · 27/02/2020 18:34

@Lweji I thought the same!

Frenchw1fe · 27/02/2020 19:45

So B left her car in M’s drive until 10.25am? Cheeky.

originalcatlady · 27/02/2020 20:56

Looks like a quiet night. Just D in 3 and F in 4. Why are people having lives? Don't they know we have our parking soap to attend to?!
