Given our recently exposed bloodthirsty tendencies, I envision we’d set up a shooting range and use the chipped porcelain for target practice. 😎
I just happen to have a manual clay pigeon thrower that will hold up to the size of PhiPhi’s dinner plates. The serving pieces should probably be set up as stationary distance targets though.😳🤭😎

Awww....I don't watch him regularly at all, but I did watch an episode where he talked about the Strawbridge chateau "rumored" to be up for sale and how it wasn't worth what they were asking. I got the impression that he felt all chateaus pretty much weren't worth the money they were being sold for and cautions everyone that renovating one is going to take way more money than you think it will.

I watch him now and then.

He's absolutely correct, they're not unless you have shed loads of cash for ever or get funding from the government.

I wouldn't want the Strawbridges place, I have a feeling a lot of it is a bodge job and have thought that from the start. Mind you I can't stand him or her, never have.
 
I could be the leader in how not to cook. I do try my best but my cooking is dreadful. It even has its own name for any dish I cook without a recipe.
I remember making a cake for my sons 5th birthday. Admittedly it was difficult to make as he has an egg allergy but I tried my best. He wanted a dinosaur cake. I had a friend who was a chef, she was laughing so much I’m amazed she didn’t wet herself.
Anyway this is my contribution to how not to cook.
THAT is a cool cake. Don't be hard on yourself. At 5 years old I'm sure your son thought it was the billybollocks. I got some of those elaborate Viking brand cake mould tins for my boys birthday cakes when he was a young'un - a pirate ship and a knights castle. Still got them. You had to grease them really well otherwise the cake mix stuck. I would just slap on a frosting and loads of Haribo's, went down a treat. I couldn't stand around doing a Jane Asher baking cakes and the cutting them into shape.

SJ needs a prop. Her blog is failing, just like tattle.life.

@Vino-bv5ic Her blog is not failing. She thrives more than ever. Her Patreon’s account is now at 32,000$ US, 2,000$ more per month. She has never spent so much money on dresses, shoes, jewelries, car and luxury items. She keeps receiving gifts. She doesn’t give any gifts to anyone unless it’s good for her vlog’s content, i.e dogs to Philip, however, Tattle Life is a failure but sometimes very very funny.

Hi to our newest member - @Mountainy Man! 🙋‍♀️
How did you find us, and what brought you here? 🙂

I'm here, not because I was ever a fan of the Chateau Diaries, but because a close friend was, and she suffered at the hands of the chateau crew whilst she was there. Before her visit, I'd watched several vlogs with her and didn't feel comfortable with what I was witnessing. I wished her bon voyage, hoping her visit to France was going to be fabulous, and sadly, she returned in tears. This all brought me to this wonderful group where we share our thoughts on what has become infamous - the lies, the money grubbing, the constant begging, the constant spending, the sheer waste, and what we perceive as Stephanie's mistreatment of the people and animals in her care. Welcome to Tattle!

Your turn!
My algorithm heard me curse every time she was on my screen. led me to tattle for mental health reasons. thanks google..
 
"open water can cause deaths" just read this on a LED screen driving home, I was confused thinking why would water be in a can ? Would spilling it make you crash ? not concentrating on the road ? then after a good ten minutes the penny dropped and it means swimming in local reservoirs etc. Obvious when you understand it !!
 
Can I jump in?(I won't give you very recent authors it would bore you even more than my list below...)
Any excuse to list my all time favourite books/authors
John Fowles
Herman Hesse
Graham Greene
John Steinbeck
Harper Lee
Jack Keroac
Mervyn Peake for Gormanghast and Mr Pye
Robert Tressel for the Ragged Trousered Philanthropists

Just a little earlier 😅 Thomas Hardy

I've just realised I need to start a book club, impossible from here
My mother got her MA with a thesis on Hardy when I was in junior high. The books were kicking around the house. I was blessed to read them. He's so good. The fated stuff is really hard to negotiate for me now, as vigorous a sort of literary tradition as it is (slavishly imitated in contemp movie narratives). One reason I guess I tried to watch Tess of the D'Urbervilles and every moment was so fated or doomed from the first frame I couldn't watch it.
I've been thinking about Hardy, which I read as a young girl, all my life. I think finally his novels are what the meta historian Huizinga was writing about in this amazingly interesting and broad-minded book, only partly about how historians get things wrong when they write about the end of an epoch. Hardy does not get it wrong. Things don't end.

I think he even hit on the fact that the Strawbridges "did the work themselves" and that was going to hurt them or anyone who bought the place, based on the French laws about warranty of work with home repairs/renos. If I recall correctly, he talked about another chateau whose owner bought high, then ran into all sorts of half assed done repairs and decided to sell, and had to sell for a lot less than they purchased it for - they were happy to just unload the thing and be done with it.

The guy sounds a little putzy when he speaks, but the handful of videos I've watched from him seem to be on point and full of a lot of hard truths. He's the kind of agent I'd want if I were buying a house, to be honest!
 
I think he's slowly wearing Fanny down, planting the seeds of doubt. She's even beginning to refer to him on things she would never have in the past.

He's a cold calculating piece of work. If those other two spineless lazy wankers of co owners had any guts, they'd put him 'straight' (pardon the pun), on a few things. They won't, they just collect their royalties and continue with their pathetic lives.

Also, while I'm on a roll, it's about time the bad bleach job lush pissed off too before she drinks all the booze. Everything that comes out of her mouth is bibble.
She's like the ghost of Jacob Marley, she just aimlessly roams from room to room detected by her constant sniggering...👻

Just look at his descriptions 🤮🤮
If anyone wants the knives this numpty can source them. if they are so easy to source surely the buyer can do so too...

Aww @Beachgirl- you made me laugh when you described your cooking (which is how I describe my mum's!). But your cake was really adorable (props for decorating skills!) and made with love, so that is all that matters! 😘
