So he’s the fun parent and Glen is stuck being the cop. I’m hardly shocked but kinda surprised he’s so open about it.

I remember asking my mom who her best friend was when I was about 9. After my dad, she said her parents, which was nonsensical to me! Like who would be bff’s with their parent? She certainly wasn’t mine. Now, as I creep toward 40 (google lens would not match me with a 97 year olds though) she’s absolutely one of my best friends. Lorelei Gilmore, she was not. Her not trying to be best friend is why she is now.

He's asked for opinions on parenting style in his new post, received lots of what look like genuine responses...

... and just ignored them all.

It's honestly like he holds his audience in contempt. Even on the few occasions he does deign to reply, he's usually cold and curt.

Thats exactly it, though. He tries to give his followers the idea that they are some sort of community. It’s all an absolute farce, as this Dusty old Dobber just wants an audience. Adoration, freebies and exposure. Doesn’t give a tit about anyones opinion.

I replied to someone's story recently. They have around 125k followers and a blue tick. It was about her donating her Pram that she doesn't need anymore. I gave her a link about the little village charity who support families with kids under 5. I didn't expect any response back, but it was so cute that she did reply thanking me even though she'd already heard of them and had them as a backup if no one was found.

If I had been their agent I would have told them to hire someone to respond to ALL comments and DM's from day one. It's something Mother of five boys has always done well. Just creates a better following.

With the two things I'm involved in (nothing to do with influencing!), when we make a main post we make sure to keep the first hour after posting free, to engage straight away with people who are commenting and remove spam and porn bots lol. Then we return at intervals to do more, but that first hour is specifically to engage and communicate, nothing else. We don't "post and run" and we never take our audience for granted.

Axa you kept that secret for so long ! :eek:
 
Does anyone else think that the mahooosive bottle storage section and its crown moulding on top of the fridge is too overbearing (and ugly) for the room? Those oversized fridge freezers are voluminous enough on their own without adding that big dark boxy mass on top. It must block out quite a bit of natural light circulation. The draping seaweed makes it even more conspicuous and top heavy.

I'd feel like a 2.5m tall Darth Vader was standing over me every time I sat down in that room!

They could have done something more modest with less than a third of the bulk to store their three bottles of squash.

Looks bloody ridiculous- reminds me of Tommy Cooper with the tassel from his fez with that pathetic plant on top too! Just popped in here but is this a new unit? Was the fridge there before? How out of balance does it look and how much light must it block from that window?Plus that filthy floor gives me the boak 🤮

Nah, the fridge is new but the unit of doom has always dominated the room. The Tommy Cooper seaweed tassel is new 😆

As well as the fridge I see they've also replaced the bar chairs after what, only 3-4 years (?), and we already know what's happened to the paintwork.
