Pmsl!

It obviously doesn't stand up to its marketing hype, or CF would have driven straight through the locked gate and knocked OP's truck out of the way.

However, that tagline has plainly gone straight to the CF's head and given him a massive sense of entitlement. If he didn't have one already, which he probably did.

In fact, his massive sense of entitlement is probably in inverse proportion to his teeny tiny cock.

OctupleGloucester · 03/08/2021 15:22

BTW, if you want him there at 6pm, tell him 5.30. He won't be on time!

This sounds like sound advice. It will be a real surprise if he doesn't try to find some way to assert his owness (in the urban dictionary sense of the word)

mnahmnah · 03/08/2021 15:23

Another tag line is ‘Radiate confidence’! CF is definitely doing that!

LavenderAskew · 03/08/2021 15:29

It looks likely there will be a thread 5 doesn't it, the wait for CF to respond could be a long one.

I'm disappointed I don't know enough footballers to do the game with footballer thing.

LavenderAskew · 03/08/2021 15:31

Ooh, Tiddlywinks with Andy Townsend.

(Not sure he's been mentioned, but I don't think Tiddlywinks have had a look in yet.)

Nah, if you agree 6pm, tell him you'll be going out at 6.10pm, and don't wait in for him

SofiaMichelle · 03/08/2021 15:38

What's betting it's still there when you go to bed tonight?

Cattitudes · 03/08/2021 15:43

If he makes any comment about it being an access road point out that the forest rangers always arrange a mutually convenient time and stick to it. I would be tempted to turn the matter over to them after the 24hrs.

Eddielzzard · 03/08/2021 15:46

Well done. He's playing a game of chicken, which is really stupid since he has the most to lose. What a moron. I bet he's one of those teflon men who takes zero responsibility for their own stupidity.

ParrotsAteThemAll · 03/08/2021 15:46

I’m starting to think this knobmobile is just a weekend car and a micro penis extender, I’m sure he has other cars at the McMansion he’s been using when mingling with the zee listers.

I’m very much hoping he doesn’t collect it tonight so we can see OP ramp things up to another level Grin

FenceSplinters · 03/08/2021 15:47

I bet he just replies ‘I’ll be there at five’ or some such time.

Faevern · 03/08/2021 15:49

Is it in your way? I would be tempted to leave it there until the FC need access and let them move it. He has a point to make so is not going to co operate with you.

IndieTara · 03/08/2021 15:51

So how many threads do we think this will go to??

thelionqwueen · 03/08/2021 15:53

Sounds like he doesn’t need his car and is playing with you just to make a point. He thinks the car being there is more inconvenient to you than to him.

Franklydear · 03/08/2021 15:58

@BlueEyesWhiteDragon you need to call the next thread, the second end

Bookworm20 · 03/08/2021 15:59

Perfect response OP.

Is it wrong that I'm secretly hoping he doesn't collect it and it ends up in the large pothole falls from the tow truck into a ditch

atlastifoundit · 03/08/2021 16:02

[quote Franklydear]@BlueEyesWhiteDragon you need to call the next thread, the second end[/quote]
The bell end, surely?

UrgentExit · 03/08/2021 16:03

I would inform him that I'd be available to release and resecure my land 'No earlier than x and no later than y' in whatever window suits you OP i.e. a 10, 15, 20, 30 minute period, whatever you feel inclined to offer with the later time a good 10 minutes before you needed to be busy. Finish with 'you will need to be punctual'

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 03/08/2021 16:04

Just a little Somethin'Somethin for all the Angus Mnetters looking for something to do on a Saturday morning while they wait for the parking denouement.

FatCatThinCat · 03/08/2021 16:11

Has this dickhead still not picked up his car? What an absolute muppet.

ShamelessCurtainTwitcher · 03/08/2021 16:15

Really let down that the Montrose Farmers Market won’t ship me a keychain internationally.

BlueEyesWhiteDragon · 03/08/2021 16:18

A vehicle parked on private land can be towed away a long as a written warning with towing date is placed on the vehicle. The OP could have placed a warning giving 24 hours notice and posted that warning picture on the Facebook post (as the car owner was on that post), if he then didn't collect the car the owner is legally permitted to remove the car

@HalzTangz Is is that bloody simple? So at whatever point I could just message him and say that I am now giving him 24 hour notice that his car will be towed? Do I have to tow the car anywhere in particular or can I just abandon it the other side of the road? What happens if it gets damaged?

You'd think the bloody council man would have told me that rather than make me do this stupid give him 24 hours and then we'll consider it abandoned and then start the proceedings to move it malarkey!

OP posts:
minisoksmakehardwork · 03/08/2021 16:18

He will either arrange to collect dead on the 24 hours, or will be in contact at the 24 hour point. At which, I fully expect OP's phone to be engaged while she arranges the removal of said vehicle.

If he wants to continue his game of chicken...

Snazzysausage · 03/08/2021 16:18

I'll bet he's connected in some way, possibly vague,to this ex footballer. Maybe gym or personal trainer,maybe through a football club but close enough for him to consider himself basked in the reflected glory of the "top lad/ bloke" I would think he's genuinely baffled by why op thinks his "ranger" being there is anything other than perfectly reasonable.

Triv with Trev.
