@Elmrosie

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!'?
Poor little CF must be single. Thinks his car will land him a date. Because clearly being himself isn’t working. Hmmmm wonder why?
BlueEyesWhiteDragon · 02/08/2021 21:36

Montrose is gorgeous. Sadly its miles from us too. We the Midlands. DB moved there over 20 years ago. I'd love him to come home as it were as i don't get to see him much but I don't think he will. Its hard really because I'd love to see more of him but sadly responsibilities get in the way.

Right I'm tired and getting mushy so tis bedtime.

Have text CF.

Havw locked up and no longer available. Will need make other arrangements another day.

570 miles or 9hrs 16 minutes ( plus wee time which will be many!) hmmmm. worth it !!!

CF is a dickhead. If playing Buckaroo with Beattie is more important then hes even more of a dickhead than his obvious attempt at asserting his “authority” was showing.
I’m up for being as awkward as you can with collection times for him - he’s clearly going to break first, you don’t need his car, he does and you’re not obstructing him coming to collect it, he’s not turning up when you are telling him times you’re around!

Ladies attending the farmers market. Do remember a cool bag for your ......Smokies.

How does your brother feel about Australian women?

I'm not sure if you're serious but pulling power is about how much your car can tow. I do prefer your version though Grin

Hoping you don't live near Montrose...so footballer doesn't live near Montrose - cos all I can think of is 'ludo with Lennon' but Lennon is scary....

Well done. Bloke is a dickhead. Sleep well Smile

I think your thread title for episode 4 was a bit optimistic.

Meanwhile in the extremely literal world, I was wondering if CF's Ranger can actually tow anything worth the bother or if it's one of the piddly 1.8t penis substitutes... Surely nobody thinks a bloody Ranger is that kind of pulling machine Shock

hope the hot chocolate is in the microwave and the pyjamas are on..

@Thewinterofdiscontent

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.

This may be the best thing I've ever read 😂😂😂

@ShamelessCurtainTwitcher
I am considering making the flight across the Atlantic for this AIBU to ask one of y’all to pick me up at baggage claim

Only if you're bringing a gun!

PyjamaFan · 02/08/2021 21:38

A Landrover Defender is definitely a chick magnet in my books. Especially when my DH drives his. Very hot. Grin

@Piggywaspushed

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..)

On 'Dave' at 9 every Sunday. Different game each week. Working title 'Games with the Geezers'.
Trudij123 · 02/08/2021 21:39

Smurfmonkey - he followed up with “if you know what I mean” and a wink - no way was he talking about towing capacity

CrotchetyQuaver · 02/08/2021 21:39

Good grief, this Rangerknob is worse and worse with each update. What an utter idiot, I feel sorry for his wife but she must have known what she was getting into

BrightYellowDaffodil · 02/08/2021 21:41

Will need make other arrangements another day.

At this rate you'll need to charge him ground rent!

Bookworm20 · 02/08/2021 21:41

Your fabulous DB has to stay! He can’t leave in the midst of such a saga.

RickJames · 02/08/2021 21:41

Can't believe this is still ongoing Shock

Hugoslavia · 02/08/2021 21:41

I think that this sign would be rather apt.

OMG. My gob is smacked.

I can't believe this fucker

noideawhatusernametochoose · 02/08/2021 21:42

I can't believe he didn't turn up at 7.30... Still, it means we might even make it to Thread 5!

Oh, and can I be added to the list for your DB's consideration. Would he mind being a toy boy as I'm far more ancient a little bit older than him. Own teeth and hair, love a sense of humour and am a country girl.

Motorina · 02/08/2021 21:42

@BlueEyesWhiteDragon well done you!

Sleep well, and please update us in the morning.

Coffeepot72 · 02/08/2021 21:42

You couldn’t make this up! Thread 5?
