Judging by her skin and dirty yellow hair in the red dress photo she is already run ragged. I just can't imagine taking PhiPhi and introducing him to others at Tess's birthday party as my boyfriend. And it is not the age difference that is a problem for me (been there, done that), it is his unsophistication, his immaturity as a 25, his neediness, which I have the problem with. It is also his lack of financial stability and lack of employment. What the hell subject could he converse about at a party - hedgehogs, cutlery, second hand shops, china? Anyone with half a brain would turn away from him at that party.

I have been considering how to word this for some time and maybe one of you have already done so but, here goes...
MP really worries me. I mean seriously worries me. We don't know what this relationship is that he has with Florian but as the mother of a young man about to step out in the big wide world I am concerned. MP is, imho, a predator when he can't get what he wants. Florian seems like a typical French young man stepping out into the world. Possibly easily impressed. May have led a somewhat sheltered life and thinks he knows more than he does. MP is probably chucking money around like there's no tomorrow. He's bought Florian inappropriately expensive gifts (the personalised Ralph Lauren polo shirt...) and is probably showering him with good restaurants, hotels, pubs and touristy visits whilst in London. What does he want in return? To me it's obvious. He's been working on this mark for a long, long time. I can't believe that Florian's parents aren't concerned but the French are odd with their offspring and try to off-load them and push them out into the big wide world at the earliest opportunity.
It always bothered me that MP would get volunteers to "help" him (always male?) with his work and projects but they never actually seemed to do much then disappeared nearly as soon as they had arrived. It was the Scandinavian lad that was hurriedly asked to leave and then unceremoniously dumped at the station by MP and Sherrie in the early hours one morning that started my 6th sense tweeking. Something went on there, perhaps someone was caught inflagtante, but that exit was rapid and highly suspicious.

You are a kind, caring person-she is not. She has lead such a non life and now keeps going on the same way with the proceeds of those who probably can least afford it. The people you are meeting at the food bank will likely pay it forward if/when they can- SJ will never do that. It is too easy just to write a cheque to a charity with no actual awareness of issues the recipients of that money are going through. I call it guilt charity. You are a way more altruistic person than she will ever be. Keep at it!
Thank you @Lady Avonlea for posting the patron flog.
During lunch, @10:54, there is a women's reflection in the window, she is seated behind Stephanie Jarvis. I feel she is all of us. She is thinking WTF!!!
Of course, this
is what she was looking at, with a pink phone attached to his hand and Stephanie Jarvis talking, non stop. I would have asked for a different table. Like the man at the far end of the restaurant, @13:20.

Oh girl I'm an absolute C U Next Tuesday, but I do try to be as civically minded as I can after some wayward moments in my adolescence. I just don't understand feigning the "charitably minded" BS that Stephanie comes out with. It's sooo odd. We all know she's doing it to add legitimacy to her sinister goings-on with the Patreon funds. For instance, last month, what did she spend $34000 on? Where is it all going? I just can't comprehend why Stephanie is neglecting fiscal transparency, unless she is trying to hide something. It's easier to be open and let it all be displayed than let us all speculate. Those accounts from 2020, 2021 are long overdue and haven't been published online for the shareholders to pour over. As a Patreon in 2020, I had a right to see where my money was being spent, it was included in the patreon level I bought into, I've been denied this and I'm rightfully pissed off. I want a refund for those six months.
Interesting histories on the Afro-American origins of woke:Nope. Woke (n /v) is certainly not AAm origin. It has been used for several years by a variety of people/organizations. If the maga chumps don't like it then believe me, I am not sorry! But I suppose one wants a shiny gold sttar for the effort in double speak.
Woke - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
What does 'woke' actually mean, and why are some people so angry about it?
Woke was officially added into the dictionary in 2017 and it means to be awake to sensitive social issues, such as racism.

We need to discuss the word ‘woke’
AOC and James Carville just got into a spat over the word. But what does it actually mean?
www.theguardian.com
If your information is to the contrary, I'd love to read it; etymology is a living history. Thanks.
I thought exactly the same. The constant talk about a bloody pond (speaking loudly too) would have driven me crazy. I actually would have asked the restaurant staff to have a word with Stephanie Jarvis to shut it down as it was disturbing other patrons' enjoyment of their meal. Just no self awareness in her nonstop pursuit of chasing the MONEY!Thank you @Lady Avonlea for posting the patron flog.

I noticed the guy at the end moving tables too as he obviously didn't wish to be included in their filming - just so intrusive.

Now I've eaten at that Osteria, it's not great, but if it's a traditional bolognese/ragu it'll have butter and a splash of milk to enrich the sauce. Phyllis's phantom allergy, likely IBS butt spew, must have caused some drama in the hotel plumbing. Now we're told that "chocolate" stain on his shirt was from the ice cream, I'm calling splash back from the loo.
Same here I was out of commission then back to hectic work schedule... This week I got 2 days off plus 1 day vac, then back to hectic work, I have a lot of reading to do...
Nah you are alright cobber!
I agree.
He is always either inappropriately dressed or, totally scruffy. AND, that stringy/straggly/very much in need of attention hair is absolutely awful - needs a good chop.
Yes, I absolutely agree. “Predator” is a strong word, but I think that’s pretty close. Michael feels entitled and believes he’s the smartest guy in the room. He’s very manipulative (not just with intimate relationships, but even his relationship with his viewers is manipulative). My guess is that he probably got whatever he wanted as a child, was doted on, and spoiled. I think he probably learned to manipulate others when he was growing up. So, as an adult, he uses manipulation to get what he wants. He can’t comprehend why anyone could reject him or not cater to his own needs. He provides gifts or money in return for a “relationship” (really just sex and someone he can parade around and snow off like one of his designer shirts). I agree, Florian comes across as someone who is a little naive. Many people, even on Tattle, remark how cute he is…that probably makes getting Florian even more enticing for Michael. I do think Michael is manipulating Florian, and I have a feeling that Florian will probably get hurt and learn a lesson (unless he’s a lot smarter and more “worldly” than we give him credit).I like to linger in the frozen food section in the local Intermarché

Personally, I think @Jules100 is a total witch for not leaking her humidity control haircare routine for Phyllis's sake. Someone needs to do an intervention. Annalise must be rotten to the core to let him wander around like that with frizzy hair and boot polish pressed into the scalp.
Don't you just want to kick these two jumped up arses into the nearest canal. When are these patrons going to wake up.
I thought that that Osteria was a typical tourist type trap eatery. Although the food looked fine for lunch.
It absolutely makes my blood boil when it is shown how much Stephanie Jarvis is constantly spending on unnecessary shite.
I wish there was a food bank close to where I live that I could volunteer at. Closest is 25 miles round trip which defeats the object given price of petrol these days as just like everybody else in the UK, I am watching my expenditure too. Such a shame, but I will keep looking and making enquiries more locally.
I would avoid him like the plague at any party, just so immature and boring. And, it would be guaranteed that if you were speaking to him, he would be looking over your head constantly assessing the room for "better" opportunities. You know the type - just rude!
