The Chateau Diaries #104 it was all claws on deck!

[Le Comte de Monte Cristo]

I'm so sorry to hear that you have had a hard week. Just take care of yourself - you won't be of any use to anyone otherwise. Glad that you are able to join us to take your mind off things for a little while. Laughter truly is the best medicine but we are all here to stand alongside our Tattle friends when times are tough.

That was the Tesco superstore in Diss. Aldi and Lidl are becoming increasingly popular here and many of their stores have had a smart refit.

your right..thank you..i got through it on high speed...i thought i recognized the aldi logo. also not familiar with tesco..

Who in the world doesn’t know what a Flying Monkey is, please. . . .origins - Wizard Of Oz, Wicked Witch of The West, castle scene - they die when she melts. Come on, get with it. And, amazingly - I guess we could say Gerry and Phyllis are the Flying Monkeys to The Wicked Witch of LaLande. FlyI guess Monkeys are distractions, ugly attempts to distort, mislead. Now that I think I’ve explained that properly - please tell me what HMN stands for (would that be Her Majesties Nest?). Alright pull yourself up off the floor, stop pounding the armchair - tell me what HMN stands for. . . . . . I’d also like to ask Hanni Ross (hello there!) were you hoping to do it with Stephanie? Then, disappointed she swung the other way? Or you had swung with her, got dumped for Phyllis? Also (OMG I’m asking yet another question) trying to find a picture of Nic Larkin? Anyone have a picture of Stephanie’s first husband? Know how long that lasted?!

You need to go to the pink Wiki button at the top of the page where you will find most of the answers you seek.

Read the wiki, it's all in there

I do know what they are in the movie, but one of the delights of this forum is its very creative use of language.
Uncle Google told me it means somebody trying to sabotage the forum.
I do believe there are pix of Larkin and SJ's first husband on the wiki.

Hi, I'm new here. I found it very odd, after watching her last video, that she didn't get to fix heating system during whole year. She has very big monthly income, shouldn't that be a priority? But no, she spent a lot of money on some overpriced wallpaper for bathrooms.
I understand that she doesn't know how to manage such amount of money, but she has a lot of people around her. Why hasn't anyone said something
Edit: Also why are they calling Dan for every bizarre thing, like lighting up the stove and fireplace lol

Welcome to Tattle you’re going to fit right in.

 

[Sparrowsfart]

You know the speedo will be 2 sizes too small and his squirrel nuts will be popping out either side.

I'll need bleach for my eyes then please

 

[Rory]

I didn’t know the Flying Monkeys died when the Wicked Witch of the West died. Is that canon?

I read the Oz series as a child and love the movie, but I could have missed this. Like I didn’t realise Breakfast at Tiffany’s was about escorts until I read the book.

 

[billybudd]

Wouldn‘t a former VIP know what a Flying Monkey is? The term has been around for a long time now. By the looks of the threads filled with new members, I’d say we need an industrial sized can of Flying Monkey repellant

I had a sense of what it meant when used by fair-minded defenders of this forum, somewhat blurred by others using the term in bad faith. Precision is always the best place to stand in for someone accused of something by somebody they respect.

 

[Sparrowsfart]

Though I do wonder why they are so stupid? I understand if someone reads here and starts writing positive things about himself to counteract the negative but why being so obviously rude from the very beginning and attack people in a forum with over 100 threads? Like one comment could change our minds?
"Marie worked really hard and her wreaths are whimsical", "Phil worked really hard and can sing" "Selmar worked really hard and loves the animals", "Ruth worked really hard and writes lovely novels" "Michael works really hard and can paint"
" Isabelle worked really hard and gives huge tips"
"Stephanie worked really hard and can be rational"

Think you need to go to the NaNoWriMo at M&M Chateau. These are a great start for some modern fairy tales.

Nic who ?

Not to derail but I’m doing a wage survey for a client. Along with her annual salary, one participant has calculated that she makes .12 us every time she has to tell someone to put their mask on properly. Sad and hilarious but probably the only way to stay sane.

A lot of people are really suffering in their jobs and lives right now. Covid has stressed everyone and everything. So if you took comfort or a mental break watching CD and got pulled in, don’t be too hard on yourself. It’s reasonable to take someone at their word, you are acting in good faith. If you find out it was a ruse, that’s on that person. Being open to new information or ideas, kind and compassionate are good qualities so don’t be embarrassed if you fell in love with the story of the shitoo in France. It is a good story, they’ve just left a lot out that may change your perspective.

@billybudd you sure seem to have a particular writing style. I'm sure the OGs of this forum would have recognised it already... So I'm intrigued as to what the following interactions with the tattlers agents will be like. Good luck, and may the odds always be in your favour chap!

 

[LadyoftheEast]

So you've said before. However at present, it's all we have to go on unless you have evidence to the contrary.. It is very likely that she performed, not necessarily as a soloist, at Greenwich Naval College as it is so close to Trinity. We are aware of some amateur performances locally.

Haha, you and I keep on going over this, one day we'll get a proper confirmation, but until I see something in black and white from an insititute of education I'm not going to believe her. As someone else says about their grandchildren, my daughter had an internet presence of about 6 articles by the time she was 10, but if you key in SJ's name you only get stuff about CD.

 

[Beau Monde]

Everytime I take a short break from my dear Tattlers, 10 or more pages go by! I was very happy to read about all the new members who have recently joined. Welcome, all! (Unless you are a flying )!

I can't understand this either. It would have been my first priority before opening for the last tourist season. As to Dan, maybe he's happy to get more and more air time and constantly puts himself forward. He seems to lap it up as much as SJ.

Diesel is always unrecognisable after having a rare haircut! He looks so much better but it's very strange that he had to go through the summer heat in France with very thick, long hair and now, when it's the coldest time of the year in the UK, he has a haircut! Tati probably insisted on it. The Tesco supermarket tour was excruciating as all his shop tours are. Tati's reading aloud of the church and county info was dreadful. It's always obvious when Spenderalla (that was a good name someone suggested!) is reading from Wikipedia or guidebooks and Tati is even worse. The blast of music in Selmar's vlogs is always too loud and sounds distorted. For non-UK Tatlers: be assured, there are plenty of much more interesting and beautiful places in both Suffolk and Norfolk, but Selmar manages to make everything boring. His vlogs would never encourage anyone to expect anything enjoyable, interesting, or exciting in their proposed festivals and dance salons.

Fanny was born in 1975. She was 20 in 1995 this is about the time she was singing/training I think? Youtube started in 2005, Facebook 2004. She is too old to have such a presence. But saying that, if there was some wonderful performance Fanny who be flogging it on her vlog. She just likes to say she was an opera singer, it makes for a good introduction on Chateau DIY

Very gently, may I say I think nobody's versus anybody here? Obviously I do not speak for him, but I do for me.

 

[MsPitstop]

He really is like a little child! No woman in their 40s, late 40s should find him sexually attractive at all!

That reminds me of a season of the Real Housewives of New York, when 50-something Carol Radziwill dated a 20-something chef and was called a pedophile by Countess Luann.

 

[WMGL]

He's effin clueless! I'm sure he never brings anything to a party or a host/hostess gift. I'm assuming he was raised very poorly. Honestly, I don't know how anyone can stand to watch his dull ass vlogs. Who gives a crap about watching someone shop in a grocery store unless their channel is about shopping in a grocery store! I could only watch about 10 seconds before my survival skills kicked in.

Perhaps cerebral damage from his accident???So sad.
