This thread was the first thing I thought of when I woke up. OP tell your DB to go Southwest instead of North!

I predict that this will end in the biggest anticlimax ever.

Jackass will roll up unannounced.
@BlueEyesWhiteDragon will be so tired of the whole fiasco that she'll just unlock the gate and let him retrieve his beloved ranger.
There will be no apology for being a jackass of the highest order.
Said jackass will ride off into the sunset completely unaware of the entertainment value he has provided for the past 4 days (but not before there's a thread 5).
DB's fan club will continue to post wistfully about him for years to come.

That'shilarious @Mummylovesmonkeys. Imagine if someone happened to tweet a link to these threads with the hashtag #FordRanger #LetNothingStandInYourWay.......That might reach the desk of the Ford Ranger marketing team...and bang goes X's sponsorship deal Wink

Nah, I reckon there will be a Farmers' Market thread come Saturday.

Eyes meeting across the soft fruit, and some lucky poster will bite seductively into a Scottish raspberry. Be like the Flake advert but with summer produce.
And then it'll turn out that the fruit farmer isn't DB, but by then it will be too late and there will be another MN romance on the blocks.

Four Weddings And A Dickhead. That's going to be the film. Mark my words.

Someone's started a thread about a tank parked on their drive insinuating this is all made up

I didn't see it that way at all - I thought it was just that, following the Ranger left on OP's farm and then the caravan left on another person's drive, somebody took it 'ad absurdum' for comedy effect - not to cast doubt on the veracity of the other stories (well, at least this one - I currently have the caravan one on hold, so I can't speak for it myself!)

Agreed, that's how I read that one too.

I am guessing Parking Jackass is trying to work out how he can get out of this with a shred of dignity intact and without having to deal with OP face to face.

Neither of those ambitions is realistically achievable.

Needapoodle · 03/08/2021 09:06

Op has a long posting history.

Fell asleep last night thinking about keeping silent words.
"Well?"
"Yes?"
"So?"
"And?"
"Hmmm."

Repeat as often as needed to reduce Mr Parker to a gibbering, apologetic wreck.

Why when I forget so much that is important do I immediately know who a football player with the initials KP is, no need for a conversation with Alexa.
Ask me where I’ve put my purse not a clue Blush

ToffeePennie · 03/08/2021 09:12

Omg! Just caught up and gutted I actually have to go to work today (proper work in other peoples homes doing their feet not just hanging out with small, smelly children and watching Ryan’s world) how will I keep up!
Runny yoghurt man is still a winner for me!

this thread has already had a lot of admin attention...guessing spam posts...thinking if it had been pull material it would have gone by now?

HowdyDudey · 03/08/2021 09:13

Now is surely the time to call the FC.

There have been loads of multi-thread sagas that have ended up bring fake which have been left up. Traffic innit?!
AtomicBronde · 03/08/2021 09:21

I can’t believe the entitled p* still hasn’t collected his car!

Have loved reading your threads though, OP and firmly place marking as I believe today is the day he’ll turn up!

AtillatheHun · 03/08/2021 09:23

Sorry to introduce a new theory at this late stage, but I’m fairly convinced that CF is himself a former midfield player for Aston Villa or similar. Consider: arrogance bordering on sociopathy; an assumption that people will do things for him; just because; giant car, hanging with X2 and mentioning it so casually.
I think he’s been expecting to trade in his former local glory in parking wherever he likes , and neither OP nor DB have a clue who is and therefore it’s not working.
