Frankly I can't believe that anyone is still watching that crap, but it's pathetic that they can't get anything out on time when they literally do NOTHING ELSE!!!. All the other Youtubers manage to publish on time AND actually renovate their Chateaus

I don't think the viewing of this rubbish is the reason people watch, they do so because it is another opportunity for them to get to see and hang on to every word of their Queen of Lielande. Regardless of the content they will watch because it is her, no other reason... She presumably has some form of hypnotic power over them, they can't see past the image that is portrayed on screen. Half of them have no idea of the lay out of the place, what the rooms are called, which have been decorated and which are still to do, where the outbuildings are, where Amourty does his woodery stuff or who some are the characters are, you can see the questions in the chat, they are either late to the party or don't listen. It's a form of mass hysteria.. talking of hysteria... did anyone notice how excited Amoury was to see his beloved Nuttie arrive back to his arms. He was like a little kangaroo, skipping out to meet her.

I have a friend who has just returned from Japan. He is 82.
I have another friend currently holidaying in Italy, who would be about 84.

She has a partner who is around thirty years younger than her.
So Stephanie, you think your age difference is so special. Well it's not.

If 'the Ghan' is one of your greatest wishes go for it.
Life is to be lived, right to the end.

By all that’s unholy, can you just imagine the howling outrage from her fans if the insurance monsters denied her! Her underwriter would have to go into hiding! Poor pitiful princess, taken advantage of again! How could the big meanies do that to her! I’m not sure which would be worse, the begging vlog that would follow or the smell of singed squirrel!

That sounds fabulous. I have always fancied the Orient Express, in full dress up mode. I love slow travel and have decided that since covid if I don't have to get on a plane I won't. I quite enjoy driving, in daylight hours, and my husband won't fly. So happily we are getting back to the way we used to do holidays and trips, taking several days to get to our destination with lovely stop offs on the way.

I don't know where you live but I assume wherever that is you don't get statutory sick pay? Or are self-employed?
Of course, sick pay doesn't apply if you just simply decide not to show up, and are not incapacitated due to being sick.

Sigh, how hard is it to edit Crapeaux? No background music, no change in setting, no overlays, no cut scenes - NOTHING! Just, what I imagine to be, a couple of hours of footage to be quickly snipped and then rendered and uploaded, with the last 2 requiring no work but just waiting. That's all.
Fanny, I could do that alongside my full time job and it would still be out on the day, what is wrong with your manchild?

Are we to assume that the geothermal system downstairs has still not been fixed? So they literally have no source of heating whatsoever?
Jesus Christ, Fanny! Even cavemen were able to light a fire at the end of the day.

What she has there at the moment has never been sufficient/installed correctly from day one. I seem to remember that when Nathan did his first visit she was shocked about just how much he's told her she needs with regards boilers radiators etc. She then tries to blame the initial people who put the heating in (didn't darling Daddy have some input too, him being neither a plumber or heating engineer), when in reality I suspect they thought they knew better and didn't want to spend the money as so many do. We've already seen not thick enough insulation on the exterior walls, the list goes on.

If DTM had actually learnt anything from being on the side-lines of the Chateauverse community during the past few years, he would have fully comprehended that he defo needs a financial backer, wouldn't he? As in, financial shareholders with him being the major shareholder! Or, at the very least aiming to get the local Mayor and the historical society behind him in an attempt to raise awareness/money - outside of his predictable, "new" upcoming, in the pipeline, Patreon account, obviously!

As another member here stated recently, sorry can't remember who. I too feel that his crazy fixation/addiction to this particular chateau, may have been the cause of him and Annalise parting ways. Parental responsibility springs to my mind.

I find it rather strange that his channel is still called ETRF when in actual fact he is not now escaping - he's way beyond that stage. Present day, he is 100% entrenched in rural France and not featuring Annalise or his 2 boys.

All bets are on as to how long it will be before Annalise and the boys will actually be included in his vlogs again? 1/2/3 or 4 weeks?

Annalise hasn't been seen at the HMN doing SJ's or, anybody else's hair for ages now either! I hope her and the boys are doing well.

DTM's recent window vlog was just so utterly boring!

While we're at the subject of heating and stoves, I grew up with one of these guys:



They were wood burners or wood/gas burners combo. All made of terracotta. Even had a gas one installed in an apartment, before my parents could afford installing central heating. 8 year old me had to check it periodically to make sure I wasn't going to be blown up to smithereens by the gas as the flame could be blown out if there were strong winds outside Growing up in the ex Soviet block was wild.

My grandma's house still has one of these bad boys:



It provided heat and she cooked on it. A lot of people in the rural parts still use them, some don't have modern cookers. I remember my grandma and mum cooking all kinds of wonders on these and grandma would throw a bunch of orange peels on the stove around Christmas time and that would get the entire place smelling of orange and Christmas.

In saying that, I would never trade in my central heating and cooker for this (not while I can afford them).
I've had enough living in cold houses and heating water on the stove to wash in a basin to last me a lifetime.

Ah yes, I am aware of this, but even insufficient as it is, at least the system could provide heat to some of the downstairs rooms. But last we heard of it, it wasn't turning on due to some leaks. Are we to assume this never got fixed and the heap is quite literally not heated at all at the moment with the exception of an electric blanket and a bunch of portable heaters which keep tripping the electric?

Fanny also had a separate video where she and Armoire were going over the radiators in all of the rooms and the conclusion was that they were nowhere near sufficient for the size of the place. However, when she and Armoire were discussing this once again a couple of months ago in a video where they were by the new garden, Fanny outright refused to allocate the necessary money for this project. Armoire even made some good recommendations, saying she doesn't have to do it all at once if she's worried about the financials (he thought something as high as 300K was required), but that she should do it right once and for all.

I am baffled why I still watch Fanny and Phi as I think in reality I would struggle to spend an evening with them-their lives are so insular
It is just as well they don't work in the real world because they would be sacked. Everyone has to be able to work to a deadline, it is clear that work on advent should be slotted in around their regular commitments. As they seem incapable of delivering on a weekly basis it shows Fanny doesn't have the time for her Grand Tour channel . Focus Fanny for the love of God-if the little gobshite can't even edit a shitty grabeaux which is his only task get rid of him and get someone who can.

Apologies in advance as I am not up to date with all comments here at the mo.
But, just have to ask for my sanity's sake, who was the French guy featured in Sunday's vlog? Nathan's side-kick or the HMN's new handyman?
Is he Angel who many have previously referred to, or is Angel, someone else?
Whatever, the guy seemed to know what he was talking about with regard to chimney sweeping - as I am sure that that potato trick will work perfectly.
AND, am I correct in noticing that Nathan actually speaks French??
I do recollect that whatever Nathan does in France in connection with anything plumbing/heating-wise has to be finally signed off by a fully qualified French professional in that field. Have I got that correct @JackSpratt?

The whole point of the Grand Trash channel was that Fanny was advised to have separate channels by her YouTube advisor as to increase her reach and income across her content. If you decrease the amount of content, you're defeating the whole point of this business decision. Of course, Fanny doesn't care too much about this since she has £30,000+/month outside of YT paying for, uhm, restoration.

And then what's the point of paying for a bumboy editor, if said content is subpar and always late? Fanny is better off editing herself and not keeping her toy on a salary or paying a professional editor who will actually be much more efficient and deliver on deadlines.
