I've just looked up Ford Ranger and the utter arsehole who lives in a footballer-style McMansion next door to us has one.

He thinks he can do whatever he likes too.

BedknobsNoBroomsticks · 02/08/2021 21:28

I don't see this ending tonight.

Can't believe he thought that you would be in when you told him that you wouldn't be.

PerciphonePuma · 02/08/2021 21:28

@SachaStark

I have visions of Montrose market crawling with MNers this weekend, hooking every man in the vicinity round the shirt collar and demanding, “What does the word RANGER mean to you?!”
😂😂😂😂
ineedanewnameplease · 02/08/2021 21:28

I hope he turns up but if he doesn't can you charge him a fee for using your private land ......quickly cobble a parking notice up!

DobbyTheHouseElk · 02/08/2021 21:29

Looks like we will continue to Tuesday.

He is a total knob. Can’t accept he’s in the wrong. Won’t apologise or actually turn up on time.

Had he arrived at 7.30pm he’d have his precious ranger.

Disfordarkchocolate · 02/08/2021 21:30

If he doesn't turn up you need to ring the forestry commission and ask them to tow him.

GirlsGirlsEverywhere · 02/08/2021 21:31

That farmers market will be like the episode of Father Ted when all the old ladies love the TV star Eoin McLove and surround the house like hungry zombies trying to get at him

Staffholidayclubrep · 02/08/2021 21:31

Call the FC friend and get them to move the vehicle tomorrow morning. You can then say well my brother did warn you about the FC types

Elmrosie · 02/08/2021 21:31

I can't get over the comment about the car's pulling power! Seriously, who looks at someone driving a totally unsuitable car like that around a city and thinks 'wow, whoever is driving that is HOT!'?

Piggywaspushed · 02/08/2021 21:31

I don't know about anyone else but I really want to join this parlour and board game club with ex footballers.

Cluedo with Cantona?

Carcassone with Klinsmann?

Strip Poker with Ginola (I know ti doesn't alliterate but when needs must..)

I think he's purposely not turned up at the correct time in an attempt to assert his dominance! "I'll show her!!!!" Just as he didn't turn up previously! Absolute cock
notanothertakeaway · 02/08/2021 21:31

I'd love to know how CF is explaining the absence of the car to his wife

And how he went to pick it up at 5pm, but came home without it

Snap with Suarez.

OP if your DB is still looking for a tent, he's welcome to collect mine. I'll be sat in it at the farmers market for the next few weeks 😂😂😂 (shamelessly joins the heaving line of women)

Thewinterofdiscontent · 02/08/2021 21:32

Time to go full British sense of humour.

We need a “ Return to the Car” festival. Tomorrow night.
Invite your friends and neighbours, drinks and BBQ £10 a ticket including local bands and comedy routine from brother.

Bookworm20 · 02/08/2021 21:33

I think you need to put another sign up. The type you see in private car parks - cars left at owners risk, not responsible for any damage etc etc

notanothertakeaway · 02/08/2021 21:33

[quote crankysaurus]Genius moment... OP, have you got a photo of his Range Rover? You can make a jigsaw of it for your DB's birthday, or to sell at the Montrose farmers market. And for the rest of us, post it on here www.jigsawplanet.com/[/quote]
Love it!

Hugoslavia · 02/08/2021 21:33

Aren't you going on a two week coach trip round the Highlands tomorrow morning OP?

oh my god YES 👏
KnightandDay · 02/08/2021 21:34

Omg I can't believe he wasn't there at 7.30 on the dot, actually I can! Fucker Angry

BathshebaKnickerStickers · 02/08/2021 21:34

Settlers of Catan with Steve McManaman

crankysaurus · 02/08/2021 21:35

Oof, just looked up Ford Rangers and now want the big X sound from Family Fortunes. Land Rovers are definitely more chick magnets.

StoneofDestiny · 02/08/2021 21:35

OP's off to bed soon, hope if Mr Dick turns up DB tells him she's asleep and has the keys - "and NO, Dick, of course she can't be disturbed".

PyjamaFan · 02/08/2021 21:35

Risk with Ronaldo?

CandyLeBonBon · 02/08/2021 21:36

Oh. He hasn't returned? Colour me surprised.
