Quick question, would someone using VPN be able to run two accounts in Tattle, without being picked up by Mods? Of course "Isabelle" will know the answer to this, won't you?
I do use a VPN but it never occurred to me to try as I’ve only the one email address and haven’t any interest in that sort of subterfuge. I barely have time to keep up as is! However, if you’re genuinely curious you could ask the mods in the support forum. They might not answer or you might get the stink eye from them.

Just wondering as people have previously claimed that they wouldn't be discovered if attempts were made to pursue legal action. I assume therefore that they would also be able to run two accounts here simultaneously if they wished.

I was invited to a James Joyce dinner and thought I'd bring lamb stew. It cost me nearly $100.
I once made the mistake of accompanying a friend on a literary walking tour of James Joyce's Dublin. I've never been a fan of Joyce, and am now less so after a yawning, blister filled, dull as dishwater walking tour. Happily the tour included many pubs, the only redeeming feature! A similar tour, featuring Oscar Widle was one I thoroughly enjoyed in Dublin, and it included even more pubs! It was hysterical and I loved every moment. Kudos to you for making lamb stew! It's a recipe I always manage to screw up, despite living in Northern Ireland. My husband tells me it is because every county, and every region, and every grandparent in every village, has their own version, so there's never a consensus of what actually goes in it.

The French excel at simple and rustic, and this is often the very food that proves to be the most sublime! Forget Paris and it's fancy restaurants. Yet this is the type of hearty food that is almost never served at lieLande. Every recipe there must be over the top (except when FRK was cooking). Even the more simplistic recipes, such as pizza, and while not French, are always over the top extravaganzas that would have any chef from Naples crying into his apron.

(Incidentally, the worst French onion soup I ever had was at a top restaurant in France. The best French onion soup I ever had was at a street cafe in Japan. Coincidentally, the worst pizza I ever had was in Italy, in Naples, the home of pizza. By contrast, the best pizza I ever had was at a restaurant in Tokyo. Conclusion - eat Japanese prepared foods).

Sadly the Patron money has diminished to £30 000 a month when I looked earlier on this evening. Could this be a trend?
Actually it’s now at $35,000 a new high. Guess patron says led to higher contributions. Wheeeee!

The Japanese are unbelievable cooks. How lucky you are to be have been eating roundeye food in Tokyo!
Caramelizing onions is a pain, but it is the secret of cheap umami. A very successful hole in the wall sammie restaurant where I live has discovered the art of turning a $2 breakfast sandwich into a sublime $7 one by making the kitchen slave stand over the stove for an hour every morning slow cooking onions.
Highly recommended. Why don't I do this?

I don't understand why Clara won't post a photo of whatever she did to the fancy wallpaper. That would prove he/she attended the Patron Days, wouldn't it? Why not reveal it? It doesn't make sense.

Excellent captioning of the Potts Pic Ccllection!

What a ridiculous amount of money for these quasi arty snaps. Cecil Beaton he's not.

Nothing does in here anymore It seems this forum has become the paaahfect spot for people who want their 5 min of glorious fame...
Missing the old times!

None of SJ's old entourage was at the patron party. Just relatives, an old boyfriend and a few new 'friends' who, in fact, are or were patrons themselves.

Very well put. I totally agree. In addition Isabelle was pretty pissed off when they drug the chapel restorer out for that bullshit video basically nullifying one of their in-person interviews which was going to be explosive. She very well might have been chastised by the group and asked to remain silent until the article publishes. Further, even though we are hearing a lot of gushy gushy in the comments about patron days, more than likely there are those that hated the food, thought it was a dump, and have come to Jesus. Just like Mojo says, Tattlers don’t Rattle. Just be patient.

Though I’m not Isabelle, the answer is, technically, yes. They could do as many accounts as they want. It’s a lot of work to log out, change server IPs, then log back in as another account. If someone is going to that much trouble, they’ve got other issues.

I would want to sit at the "Bitches Table" on those Patreon days Fanny had last week....... oh the gossip !!!
Next Patreon Day - reserve a comfy chair at the Bitches Table for Pekey! You get a special keepsake lanyard. A gold edged, calligraphic limited edition, numbered and with a hologram, with 24 ct gold findings and a silk lanyard cord. Yours to treasure for ever. No sticky backed scrawled name tags here; we're not cheap or tacky like that.

Because it's a puzzle for Fanny like a where's Wally. I hope its a penis but Clara probably has more class than me.

What would it prove? That there is a graffiti on some wallpaper somewhere that Jarvis may or may not own.

Yes. A pic of familiar wallpaper with a bit of background scenery that we can all recognize and agree is at Lalande.

It should be a lil penis. Not a gross penis, but a cute little one with a smiley face, maybe wings.

It may not prove that she was the one who did the damage, but at least it would prove she was actually there. I really want to believe she's a true insider, but I'm having trouble at the moment.
