The vase is on the spectrum. We shouldn't discuss it.I’m beginning to grow fond of the vase. I feel for the vase.

One of my fave Sophie Tucker jokes!The Vase. Reminds me of a story......so Stanley comes home with a bouquet of flowers for lovely Stella. Stella says to her friend " now I have to lay on my back with my legs open all weekend". And her friend says. " what's a matter, don't you have a vase?"
I hate to keep harping on this, but it keeps harping on me.On another note. There is currently no work being done. The timeline has seriously been messed with, and there was no first of the month update or accounts presented in the last Patreon. Shall we take bets on what Patreon will be?
I’m betting Interview with PhiPhi.
Amaury fills the water bowser up from the moat, as seen is several recent vlogs. Dan showed the watering system in the potager in action briefly in his latest vlog yesterday.I hate to keep harping on this, but it keeps harping on me.
I do believe Amaury's watering the Jardin Anglais is the evidence of that. Indeed the whole establishment of the garden in the summer of unprecedented drought and heat in France is evidence of that.
And where is he getting the water? Is the irrigation system in the potager working or did that also fail -- along with the resto of the terrace wall by the ancient masonry people? (SJ said that was a failure, she wasn't going to make the guys famous on YT by going into it, the architect was going to supervise their redoing it, which the arch negotiated. When and where is this going to happen, the one bonafide restoration, aside from the chapel, Jarvis has undertaken?)
Possibly, Annalise was ill for a few days and apparently the boys both had chicken pox last week tooApologies if this has been said already. When Dan says he has the Man Flu he doesn't mean he has actual flu. Man flu is a joke term for when a man has the common cold. It's a playful dig at the sort of men who are big babies and exaggerate their symptoms when they are ill. Dan is joking about flu but he could very possibly have had covid.
I knew I heard it somewhere...One of my fave Sophie Tucker jokes!
Respectfully, I strongly object to the use of the word "woke" and also the idea that CD fans are poor old women.I nominate for a thread title. Sorry couldn't find the emoji for thread
I've just seen this weather map with high temperature warnings across la belle France..The Ardmore vase brings the story of the emperor's New clothes to mind
Currently melting at a Dordogne pool side. The pool terrace surface is sole of the feet burning. Beautiful campsite with shady spot for our van. Off for a cold drink.
After seeing her act like a 4 year old (like Phyllis) with that stuffy hedgehog, I wondered if she has imposter syndrome, well that didn't fit. After googling it, I discovered Echopraxia.. talk on here about being on the spectrum would fall under this. I notice she's now behaving like Phyllis, when Potts is there she mirrors his actions... I think about her Mum sending her to a private schools Grad dance and told to be like them and mingle. When Petherick is there they are both flamboyant, she becomes his double... In the beginning, when she introduced herself, she was a completely different person. (Not diagnosing, just observations.) Oh, and constantly telling her aunt she wants to be like her, everything she does is based on what she remembered as a child at the aunts house etc... I'm not convinced she's one person... she's everyone she ever met.Let me state that I am not a clinical psychologist and in no way capable of diagnosing anyone who is on the spectrum but I do have experience of those who are and I do not think Fanny fits into this category. Yes she has many issues that have been discussed very eloquently in previous threads but imo being on the spectrum is not one of them. But as it is so large there may be traits that she exhibits that are atypical.
I do agree that there are people who sadly get bullied and gossiped about because they are on the spectrum but I don’t think this is the case for Fanny, it is other personality traits that are causing her problems and dictating her lifestyle.
Well I lurked for months- and finally joined- still messed up my screen name- shouldn’t have included “lurker“ on it as now I’m here.Forgive me if I am wrong, but I've always assumed you have to join Tattle to lurk, not lurk then join???? 36 minutes to lurk isn't that long, why, we've got Tattlers on here that lurked for months, me included
Mmmm. You might wish to look into the sociology of gossip. It exists to corroborate morality. One reason true gossip must be based on facts. One reason there was so much xenophobia here originally is identity is one of the values it's meant to corroborate. Ruh roh.whatever one posts here will be reviewed by many people who don’t know you - already I’ve had a few trying to guess my motives…it’s the nature of tattle….gossip is never fruitful, nor does it make true friends of people. The truth, that’s a different thing entirely.
For real!!!I lurked from the beginning! when a lot of people joined and started posting attachments and I couldn't view them I decided to create an account so I could happily lurk! Sometimes I wish I was still a lurker, tattle does take up time, time which I would usually use to read a good book, expand my knowledge on (war) history, architecture, life of historical figures, psychological problems/illnesses, serial killers, earth, universe, theology. I believe my brain has lost a few points since I started watching SJ.
Pardon my French, but what in the hell is going on???!!! Michael literally just released a video that was made entirely of footage he filmed back in August 2020…over a year ago! Almost two years ago! What is he doing? A month ago, he announced a “new era” with the camera purchase….but he posts a video of unreleased footage that’s almost two years old? I posted a screenshot of the video he released in August 2020 (“Epic Lake District Adventure”) and a screenshot of the video he released today…his clothes are identical. Michael…why buy a brand new camera but not use it? Why are you regurgitating old news? Too busy playing with Florian in London to make new content? He could have at least explained it was old footage. Instead, it’s like he’s trying to pass it off as something new…like he just visited Beatrix Potters cottage. Unbelievable.View attachment 1345172

I don’t know how to read this from you lol. I listen to History of the English podcast and have many different types of dictionaries (some focusing specifically on etymology). I keep a book of words that interest me and I’ll look up their etymology or word origin. Not an expert but one of my interests. Truly have not come across the US programs vs British programmes before. I may have the interests of an 80 yr old (minus place setting and collecting dinnerware) but I’m a young 30 lol.Please. Some of us are veterans of the days when every other comment here by Britannia Uber Alles was how the "gangster grannies" were all dumb Americans.
Dumb, certainly. Long term memory? You bet.

Omgosh!!!Do we need the airholes? Really. Do you think airholes are a good idea...
It's been 40°+C all week here, but at least we're all equipped with AC, patio misters, and pools.I've just seen this weather map with high temperature warnings across la belle France..
Don't fry.
