Nope, clearly he’s far too busy and important.

Operation with Owen

I don’t really mind if it is now - it’s brilliant 🤩

Sleep well op, wishing you sweet dreams of everlasting carveries Smile

ODFOx · 02/08/2021 23:07

I love the optimism in your thread title OP: the end 😀.
Surely that is dependent of the CF actually turning up at an agreed time to collect the damn car?

@ginislife

Are you all seriously telling me that the parking CF gas gone to 4 1000 message threads ????? I was following the 1st one but then life interrupted. I come back to MN and there's thread 4 !!! Life's too short to read 2&3 !! Can I have a synopsis please 😂
OP put a message on local FB group. Someone replied claiming to be his sister and wait it would be collected. It wasn't. Vehicle appeared late last night, possibly CF and mates, realised couldn't release Ranger so drove off. CF messaged and announced he'd collect it at 5, OP said not available until 7.30. CF turned up at 5 anyway, DB did a big 'can't find the keys' show, CF had to wait for someone to pick him up so he could get to ex footballer's house for laddish banter. Many MNers will be at the Montrose Farmers Market this Saturday to fight over DB.

@BlueEyesWhiteDragon this thread is gold.

(10/10 and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ just in case...but I really don’t mind and this saga should definitely reside in Classics)

Have just read all 5 threads, now shamelessly placemarking!

Dasher789 · 02/08/2021 23:22

I'm actually Shock

This guy is the definition of CF

olympicsrock · 02/08/2021 23:30

I have fallen out with DH who said that the CF should not have to apologise to OP.... almost left the bastardAngry

HaveringWavering · 02/08/2021 23:30

@BathshebaKnickerStickers

Settlers of Catan with Steve McManaman
These are all great- love this one in particular, along with Mousetrap with Mourinho and Dobble with Drogba.

Charades with Sheringham?

On what grounds? (Did he say this I mean; obvs you have solid grounds to LTB)
olympicsrock · 02/08/2021 23:36

He thinks the OP was escalating things by shaming CF on Facebook ..... I argued vigorously for OP only using FB to get in touch... so cross!

Oh!! Definitely LTB!!
DrBlackbird · 02/08/2021 23:39

dapsnotplimsolls thank goodness for your précis as I very nearly missed the heroic effort of OP’s DB! Had to go back to thread 3 for full update. What a star! Loved his commentary on how the family each view 5 minutes differently. This is definitely classic thread material.

LakieLady · 02/08/2021 23:40

This just gets better and better. I spent all day at MIL's, wondering wtf was happening with the CF's knobmobile and it was bugger all.

DB is a prince among men and if I was 20 years younger I'd be on the first train to Montrose. And if he's ever in Sussex and fancies a pint with a pensioner I will gladly buy him beers all night. Alternatively, I could walk the 563 miles to Montrose Farmers Market but that may have to wait till I've had my knee replaced.

I am Shock at the way CF manages to act more like a cockwombling knobjockey with every new development. What a complete and utter tosser. He's so dim, I'm amazed he's managed to pass a driving test.

And I think this saga will run to 6 threads. At least.

MyOtherProfile · 02/08/2021 23:43

Whaaaat? So it's not the end? He had better not turn up pissed at 1am and start demanding his car back.

Your DH needs to understand the very simple fact that nothing that OP subsequently did ,or ever will do,can cancel out the initial heinous offence of listening to OP telling him to get off her land,nodding,smiling ,asking for 5 minutes and then fucking off for a day's cycling leaving an entitled note on the windscreen. Your DH may also want to give some thought to the very serious point that CF would never have done that if a man had asked him to leave.

This needs to go in MN Classics!!

Mrgrinch · 02/08/2021 23:48

Honestly I wish this was all one big long thread so it could go in classics

crowsfeet57 · 02/08/2021 23:50

Ranger = a type of pick up truck. BIL has one, the engine has fallen out of it - twice hmm

My neighbours have two - one each! Seriously a couple in their sixties with no children and a dog the size of a dormouse.
