Life coaching SJ style:

When life gives you lemons....

Every cloud has a silver lining...

We are stronger more than we know...

etc.

When life gives you lemons you also receive Spode

 

[Clara Burnett]

150 Euros per day apparently. Can't remember who or when this info was posted, but sure I read it here, on one of the threads.

Please stop this nonsense. First Nutty gets 1200 and now a number is put on Dan. Sj keeps these things secret for a reason, however frustrating that may be. Saying "I'm sure I've read it somewhere" just doesn't cut it.

hink I will get one going towards my new kitchen ...this is a joke

After years of grifting, begging, and hinting for more, MPK showcases his Spode collection!
I'm tempted to send him a bourdalou gravy boat too since it appears he doesn't have one.

 

[Clara Burnett]

Doesn't she still own a house in England too ? Not far from Gerry's ? Or am I lost myself with all their properties ?

@Clara Burnett ??

Yes, her main place of residence is in Framlingham, close to the brother from another mother indeed, a rather small house as far as I know...

i can understand this..this was the reason i wanted to see how new chateauxowners coped with all the work..and the life around it...they show what most people want to see..they still stay grifters which i hate...but they do it clever...not that madhouse Fanny Flash is creating...she is going high..but i think the fall will come..not right away...but if people see a different vlog..i guess a lott of her patreons will jump over..asking themsleves why on earth they support that lunatic hysterical, and in essence in no means poor, woman..

In today's Bordeaux Life vlog, Edd mentioned that several people have been asking him and Anna to start a "Buy me a Coffee" (I haven't seen anyone commenting as such - unless they're Patreon comments.) I was a little bummed out as I have alwys liked them and never felt they were beggars. I feel it's a bit tacky to have Patreons and also ask folks to buy them coffee. They stand to inherit La Gorce and are working on a nice home in Bordeaux which I'm sure will generate a large chunk of Euros if they decide to sell; they sure as hell don't need anyone buying them coffee. :-(

Yeah you shouldn't need buy me a coffee if you have patreon too. And you are right they will get $$ from sale of this project (If they sell) and are in line for La Gorce.
When covid is over/under control and all these chateaus get their customers back for weddings, conferences, workshops and holidays etc They are not going to want to give up their Patreon accounts, but there shouldn't be any need for them. It will be interesting to see who tries to keep them and who gives them up.

Has Philip ever said he's straight? I don't remember him saying that, or that he's into women, or anything like that. My guess is he sees himself as fluid, keeping his options really open, so he's not lying. Just a guess. I wonder if he has ever had a relationship with anyone before. It wouldn't surprise me if this is his first romantic relationship ever.

 

[Fennelbug]

Just thought about the consequences IF Natti and Amaury should ever break up.

with Amaury leaving, she would loose a skilled handyman, who doesn’t shy away from work.

should Natti leave, Steffi would loose … she would loose her … what did Natti actually do?

Natty organized the immoral amount of gifts that are sent to someone who not only does not need them- but should be imploring her patrons to STOP SENDING

[Phoenix Richards-Bingham]

Sounds like a cult.



Not really.

Yes, I remember someone posting this one awhile back and I watched it. I just hope she and Dan are doing alright together. I've had the most awful feeling lately when I watch his vlogs, like that maybe he's now staying at the pretend chateau and only going back home to fiddle around in his man cave and pickup/drop off the boys when he has them....I hope I'm wrong...

 

[halifax]

He is a bit, but I finally watched the American vlogger that Dan idolizes ( https://www.youtube.com/c/Caseyneistatofficial/videos ) and it makes a lot of sense now at least to me. That vlogger has been at it for years and from the videos I watched, has been cocky for years as well. He's not exactly offensive but has done some stupid things on camera, has vlogs about luxury air travel, stupid stunts, etc. , not exactly the same as what Dan is doing but it seems to be rubbing off onto Dan.

It would be nice to see Dan back at his house finishing projects in the main living area and not at Lalande or in his mancave, but I guess that since he vlogs everyday that he just needs content wherever he gets it.

dan is still employed at the chateau and since there isnt a whole lot of work in the garden being done in the middle of winter, these projects are keeping him busy not to mention being paid. all these projects are things that should have been done but havent, and unless bjj intends to do them on his return, its good that dan is there to pick up the slack.

 

[Tatum72]

Oh joy!





(just in case some of us horrible 15 tartellettes have LalalalaLande withdrawal sypmtoms )
ENJOY!

Wow, the disappointment in Steph's voice that he's arriving early...'oh but but we were going to film getting your room ready' Just proving that everything is viewed as "content" and real friendships and experiences can never be truly enjoyed. Literally everyone is filming each other for their own vlogs...it's a mad world...

Dan's full-day charge is a third of the price of SJ's blue and white Souleiado palmette skirt ($399)!

 

[Jules100]

@Clara Burnett, just wondering now it’s winter in France and looks very cold at LL, have all the hot glued doo-dads popped of the walls of the Wedgwood room?

 

[Geordieboy71]

I did see the interview with Nic's wife Marie, she is a bright and nice lady. It was weird to watch Stephanie around her though, at times she looked bored and wanted to hurry along, at other times she looked quite uncomfortable , but all the time she tried to smooth over this and smiled broadly. Nic is clearly important to Stephanie, she looked at him when she made sure everyone knew she was his best female friend (which obviously is not true, it is his wife I think!) it seems Nic is her rock, it would be interesting to know what he thinks is in it for him. He must care about her. Snorts is snorting very little in the background, one almost wants him to give a sign of life!

I watched some of her other "interviews" when nana was a patron. From my recollection those interviews were more of a chat and fanny asked supplementary questions and kept the conversation flowing. This interview was quick, factual and direct. I got the feeling that fanny may be intimidated by Marie.

 

[Beau Monde]

But one day he will see someone who lights a spark in him and then it will be all on. I don't know what gender species that person will be.

My guess is squirrel, perhaps hedgehog?

 

[Beau Monde]

There's still a huge difference between being an introvert and being openly and shamelessly rude. SJ is definitely the latter, as I so often have experienced personally.

I am definitely an introvert. But when I have a party, I stay up till the last guest leaves. Then again, I don't have parties every other night.

 

[Jeeves]

As I said, so we're Clara's comments. The way she said it, but you only mention my comments.

No, I was referring to levels of status.

So you do heiracy but not hierarchy?
This thread prided itself on being focussed and able to question what was being presented from Lalalande. We were able to evidence what we were able to discover, with a liberal sprinkling of wit and humour. If there was speculation, it was made very clear - often this led to someone uncovering something of interest . Unfortunately now, the threads are full of wild speculation under the guise of "I think I read it" and general chitchat for the most part. It's becoming more and more like the CD comments mush that we were all so desperate to escape.

 

[Le Comte de Monte Cristo]

Thank god BJJ has finally learned to Shut Up

i would wish Fan Flash would shut up and let Marie speak..that woman is always interupting everybody because she thinks she is so special..
