Does parking on a closed road count as a live parking thread? 😁

[DailyMaui]

So they have closed the road I live on to resurface it. It will be closed for the next two nights. We’ve had multiple letters from the council, there have been signs up for at least a month and yesterday they painted NO PARKING THURSDAY AND FRIDAY all over the road.

8 cars are still parked there with 15 minutes to go until resurfacing begins. One of the cars is right outside my house and when I saw them out the window, I tried to explain to the two women (looking like they were off for an evening in town) that they were probably not going to be able to get their car until morning but they told me to fuck off!

The road is lorry central, a guy is taking pictures of the remaining cars… it’s all go here.

Anyone know what they do? Do they just resurface round the cars? Tow them away? Do they get brutal? There’s a fair few annoyed looking men in hi-vis walking up and down! Should I get wine and a comfy viewing position?

😉

Vipers of H unite!!

We had our cul de sac done last year and the did half of it then fucked off and left it for ages.
At least yours is getting done quickly!

No have NO idea how funny this is to me
😂😂😂

When the possible dead child’s bone reappeared the other day I tossed it into the undergrowth. Do I?

get the bone and take a picture
bury the bone again
leave the bone where it is
get the garden blessed/exorcised just in case, you never know…

Perfect thread ! Was round your way last weekend. Jimmy Carr.

St Retford is the patron saint of football and cricket fans.
St Reatham is the patron saint of upwardly mobile Millennials

@DailyMaui
Best thread ever!
Love that your dog thinks it has its own room 😂

I think we're all dizzy with excitement because there's finally a thread which is 100% true. Can hardly believe that I get to put my cynicism away for a whole 16 pages.

St Oke is the patron saint of Ducks and Pottery.🦆

@RozHuntleysLeftHand I think I might live very close to you. I remember wondering why they'd left some bits half done!

Poets corner??

The one beginning with C?

@viques
If my experience living there is anything to go by
.....

St Evenage is the patron Saint of dodgy tradesmen and coke heads do that could actually fit really well tbh.

This thread is actually better than the time the truck carrying the portakabin got stuck on the bridge down my road. Hours it was there, bloody hours.

<happy sigh>

@RozHuntleysLeftHand Poets yes, though unless there's another C I've forgotten about, we're nearer the school than you. Sounds like they left cul de sacs half finished all over the place

Are we really back?

All of the above tbh!

If you discover a plague pit in the garden it could only make this thread a billion times better so......

Wouldn't surprise me they were utterly shit!
Im quite close to the schools, but I suspect further away than you.

<seriously considers putting a secret sign in chalk on my gate>

Wouldn't it be weird if we knew each other to say hi to/nod at etc!

Loving how many of us are on here.

I think my life is complete. I'm wasting a day reading about parking angst in a town I don't live in, in a country i don't live in. Doesn't even need a wee cheeky glass to make it better.

DS (who should be revising but is instead revisiting the ouvre of brookmyre) keeps looking at me but can't ask me why I'm laughing because then I'll tell him to go and do a past paper.

Ah, happiness, thy name is Fuck Off Woman

@RozHuntleysLeftHand Ooh yes, maybe chalk sign of a viper on your gate! Might freak the postie out though.

Does that make St Okenchurch the patron saint of Red Kites?

I really chuckled at the image of your DS being intrigued but not wanting to be told to "go and do a past paper" I shall reserve that 'tell' for my own use, I think...

Yep, you’re going to need an Old Priest and a Young Priest.

Also, we need a Playmo version of this thread! I know @somuchtobits already has the “personnel” for this thread

It reminds me of when they closed my road at one end but people thought that they knew better. I’d watch them go past my house and then happily wait for them to come back.

NannyOgg, this was in the bad old days when I gave a fuck about him being the darling of all the local pilates class attendees.
I know better now.

Love the measurement stuff!

our fancy kitchen designer ostentatiously measured our kitchen by eye/feet whilst brown-nosing my husband (professor therefore much more interesting than me his actual customer). When I said “aren’t you going to measure?” He turned to my husband and said “ooh she’s getting impatient with us now”.

when they fitted the kitchen the fridge extended 6 inches across the doorway.

twat.

She??

He'd have lost my business for that!"

Re-label some mugs as Penis Beakers?
Mark a chicken as feeding four for five days?
Suggest drawings pads as suitable for parking diagrams?
Have some pin badges made up, with the letters ‘LTB’ and ‘ODFOD’?
