More derailing of the thread? This originated from a simple comment on Selmar's written comments 17 pages ago! Now we have an intensive discussion on the linguistics of French, English, German ,Romanian and Mandarin! Move on please.
I know now who you’re talking about now. He is quite handsome. She (the partner he was doing the house up with was very attractive but much older In the Ch4 DIY series)... I remember SSB visiting him in vlogs. I’d say she was hoping for a bit of jiggedyjig action... - I’ll find him...Yes I think so, same house.
He is not an architect. That's what he says, but no.
Besides, I would say that because he knew that some of his "actions" had started to leak, he did not want to be in the spotlight.
If you can watch the episodes he was in, you will see that he was with an English lady (a prerequisite to be on the show as he is not English).Theyshe was acting as if they were a couple.
Later on she left the show and the man. Never to be seen again.
I watched this on ytube.
I love catching up on here in the morning!If the money runs out, I fear it will be worse than it ever was, with projects started left, right and center, all left to rot away.
Can you imagine a half dug out amphitheater? An amphitheater... I still can’t get over that one. Again, if you have the money for your follies, great! But for others to fund them?
The Château, which I do think is charming with it’s rural appeal, is a glorified grannery! What’s wrong with that? Versailling it up with other people’s funds is just... &&)$??@??!
Someone mentioned integrity in renovations. None whatsoever here indeed.
Sorry, got carried away there!
Porcelain I pronounce poor sah lin, if that’s helps but remember I sweep chimneys@Espe as someone who has studied linguistics, what do you make of Stephanie’s sometimes strange pronunciations?
Many threads back discussed her pronunciation of “porcelain” and no one could figure it out.
Cool, I’ll try some sleuthing too. When you google “Stephan Botte architect” nothing professional comes up, just ETTCDIY stuff.
Ya I wouldn’t mind jiggling with him lolI know now who you’re talking about now. He is quite handsome.

Oh calm down, we've always had the odd off-topic remarks here and there, it usually doesn't hurt anyone and you aren't a moderator here. I had to endure rows and rows of weird flirty exchanges with "Heathcliff" in earlier threads. Shudder. A few fun exchanges about language won't hurt anyone.More derailing of the thread?

Ah, seems you stopped watching Château Diarhees.I’ve never scrolled past so much in my life![]()
Throw in to the mix an inability to spell !!!It seems even English speakers find it difficult to master English! Classic source of annoyance with lots of people is the muddling of there, they're and their. Or not knowing the difference between to and too. I mean how hard can that one be![]()

Oops

Whilst holding ONTO your sence of humour -

best result ... use emojis
A picture tells a whole picture 🥸🥸

A very different story a few pages ago when the thread turned to opera. It didn't take very long at all for people to complain then. I didn't suggest at any point that I was a moderator but it seems to be a very different story when a few feel the need for grandstanding. Yes, each language has its challenges, is there a need to keep droning on about it?Oh calm down, we've always had the odd off-topic remarks here and there, it usually doesn't hurt anyone and you aren't a moderator here.

Actually, BJJ came over to help set the table up. That was the reason he left Lalande. My mom wanted something simple, and BJJ did a good job! He also did the flowers, which in our humble opinion looked so much better than what FRK does. LokiCleveland might drop by this weekend so we had the stables ready.Oh, lovely. So you have also 2 volunteers? One for arranging the flowers and one to lay the table and take the pics?Or did you even do it on your own?

OMG Yes! I remember this couple! He was quite handsome. I think the chateau was in his family, it was an interesting design. And by interesting, it looked like half of the chateau collapsed. They probably kicked them to the curb because his wife? girlfriend? was an absolute nut! She would talk about how she reno’d other homes, was an interior designer (in her own head) and the camera cuts to her spray painting a stencils on the wall! I laughed my ass off when they said they wanted to pave their downstairs floor, so they cut a chunk of stone out the pre-existing floor to see what was under it, just dirt! So here they are having a party, of course, with a dirt patch in the middle of the floor. Some of these couples are so dim witted it hurts!This guy... I cannot remember the name of his “partner” in the DIY series... they seemed to disappear in a poof of smoke..
She was called Nicole. On FB under Nicole Albert Interiors. There are comments on a post on 16 Sept 2018 about him. One saying 'Hi Nicole, love your work. Is there any truth to the rumour that Stephan isn't what he appears?' leading to bit more information. I must admit I was thinking when I watched it was he after her money, but then he seemed to be wealthy himself. Looks like he wasn't perhaps. Not sure whether he or SJ had the narrow escapeThis guy... I cannot remember the name of his “partner” in the DIY series... they seemed to disappear in a poof of smoke..
In English, we can't change the stem of a verb to make any pure future tenses, we have to add another word, eg "will" or "going to" to use as an equivalent of a simple future or use a present tense but they are all used for different purposes. We also have a kind of future perfect but not by changing the stem, we have to say "will have done". I think it may be slightly easier to change the stem of a verb as in most other languages.Unfortunately for us, in French we have 1) the Futur Simple 2) The Futur Antérieur or Futur du Passé (Past Futur) 3) the Futur Proche. And our wonderful Futur du Subjonctif (that we prefer to forget about
What in the freakin' world does she need an amphitheater for? The music workshops they do hardly attract more than 20 people!about that amphitheater, where would she build it? I don't have a clear picture of the land around the chateau but is it hilly enough? I don't remember any hillside to accommodate an amphitheater

I had a look at that part of the video. Cockroaches or not, there were indeed some critters there.Talking of the wigs. Did anyone else notice the cockroach crawling on them.
Not totally clear from the pictures but if you can stomach it, go have a look.
