Oh today is the international mean to Michael day..
So was Hanni, jumping around like an idiot, and I am sure she IS a girls girlNo way. Cat was all over Amoury when he arrived. Now we think she might be with Dan. Rumours of her and Snorts (makes my skin crawl on her behalf). I don't believe she is interested in women. But if she is, it gives her more opportunities I guess.
I’m astonished that she hasn’t thrown in the towel with the floristry/wedding flowers’ job before now, or that her bosses haven’t found her to be unsuited for the role - the latter not because she’s unable to do the job adequately but because Marie and taking orders/following instructions are completely incompatible (“don’t tell me what to do” never far from the surface). She wants to be her own boss and also work to her own spec (her preferred colour palette, her choice of flowers & foliage, her design style) with her “florals”.Well, what a surprise, Marie is not happy in Norway! Could it be because she has a proper job and is having to work for a living? Is she going to spend her whole life going from one place to another and then grifting again? Maybe she'll now grift for another new vehicle so she can drive aimlessly through the French countryside. She needs to get some professional help to assist her to overcome her clearly very serious problems. However kind and helpful they may try to be, she doesn't need any more friends like Nicky who just enable her to keep exploiting them.
Yes I am a Billy defender, I see it another way. Once again Micheal starts something does the big ta da tunnels, acts all knowledgeable. Billy even gave him Steve to help. Who pays Steve? He wouldn't of done it for nothing.This is not rivalry, this is greed & ego from Billy's side. He would have never gone looking for it weren't it for mpk and the info he gained. Billy pulled the most hated trait in a coworker. Do nothing, swoop in at the end and pretend you worked hard.
He swept up mpk's moment just because he owns the property, so he can? His flog of 25 minutes contained 10 minutes of the tunnel.
Don't go that low Billy. It does not suit you to take the moment of shine away from your brother.
She sounds like a wonderful lady, you should be very proud of her.My maternal great grandmother was born in 1890 and passed away in 1982 when I was a child. Her husband, my great grandfather, passed away in the early 1950’s. She lived in a small house (a little cottage) with 2 bedrooms and one bath. It was really cute, immaculately clean, and tastefully furnished. She had a tiny kitchen but somehow managed to cook the most wonderful meals. She always dressed nicely in a dress every day. She was kind, never met a stranger, and even though she didn’t have much money, she would give her last dollar to someone in need. My mother said that during the Great Depression, homeless men who were traveling and looking for work would occasionally stop at her home, knock on the kitchen door, and ask for a meal. She always gave them something to eat (in exchange, they had to listen to her read bible passages). Later, my family found her house had been marked with a symbol signifying to travelers that she was kind and shared food. In my opinion, she was a real lady and had more “class” in her little finger than any of these château characters….especially LaLande. I’m sure many of us on here have had the pleasure of knowing people like that. Money and education doesn’t buy class.
What’s particularly sad is FRK’s mother seems to be supporting, indeed encouraging, her daughter’s ‘head in the clouds’ fantasy, instead of getting her to buckle down, apply herself, listen to mentors, learn her craft, pay her dues and establish herself as a professional florist in Norway. Very odd parenting.I’m astonished that she hasn’t thrown in the towel with the floristry/wedding flowers’ job before now, or that her bosses haven’t found her to be unsuited for the role - the latter not because she’s unable to do the job adequately but because Marie and taking orders/following instructions are completely incompatible (“don’t tell me what to do” never far from the surface). She wants to be her own boss and also work to her own spec (her preferred colour palette, her choice of flowers & foliage, her design style) with her “florals”.
Another opportunity wasted. More building castles (unintentional reference to chateaux!) in the air, more tearful bleating, more aimless wandering, more manipulation of those kind-hearted enough to support her, more of everything we’ve seen before. It’s a vicious and thoroughly tiresome circle.
She does give off a very “games mistress” vibe…I always thought Kat would be a girls girl not be a Dan fan ? Anyone ???
Interesting they were started about one month apart.You didn’t dream it…it was me. The Caroline Gooder account that is “carolinegooder7091” seems to be the original Caroline Gooder. The one with the user name “carolinegooder” is the one troll CG making all the weird statements about Phillip being so good looking, and that HE is the gravy train, he’s young and has so much potential. The troll CG avatar “C” is slightly different too and looks like an italicized “C” where the original CG has a plain font “C”. I probably posted in the middle of the night when I couldn’t sleep. Here are screenshots of the two different users’ names.
The Chateau Diaries #232 Daffodils are not the only micro thing at the shatto
Gooder is clearly one from the Chateau or Brenda. IF Brenda at all. No owner of a company (lalande, in that case) would allow a regular fan to speak in their name. There is to much risk that a regular person would say something wrong, hand out false informations, or would cause trouble for the...tattle.life
Maybe floristry is the last „stem“ for her to hold on.I’m astonished that she hasn’t thrown in the towel with the floristry/wedding flowers’ job before now
Either way I think she’s cool. Dan could’ve done a helluva lot worse for sureI always thought Kat would be a girls girl not be a Dan fan ? Anyone ???
Now I’m being to to think that the Comte and Clara are the same person, we’ve never seen them togetherI think Dan and Kat are getting it on... she was giving him her coy face.
The Caroline that praises Snorts is def Snorts! Only Snorts would think that Snorts has all of those amazing qualities. The original Caroline Gooder ( be it Potts or Natti etc) do not think Snorts is all that great....let’s be real.She does give off a very “games mistress” vibe…

Me too! Kat and Hanni both gave me major lesbian vibes. I guess my gaydar works on guys.I always thought Kat would be a girls girl not be a Dan fan ? Anyone ???
Either way I think she’s cool. Dan could’ve done a helluva lot worse for sure
I think Mean to Michael day is tomorrow, people are just warming up todayOh today is the international mean to Michael day..
Maybe had to get real jobs?Any Tattlers know what has become of Sadie, Mo and his hardworking skinny friend ?
I think many of us get rather jaded as we see the same old thing and often the same posts/ questions over and over again. I find myself skimming more often and frequently don't bother to catch up with the thread any more. Issues are often trawled through at length and then along comes someone new and starts it it all up again. I'll admit to getting bored.Something that has bothered me since I started commenting on here is the comings and goings of tattlers. Are they in real life someone from the Châteauverse? Who come on here to disrupt or try to defend certain people. Do people disappear because they feel they are not heard or feel attacked as some have mentioned. Some tattlers privately dealing with serious illness. How would we know if a tattler has (heaven forbid) passed away. There are so many that have disappeared.![]()
I wasn't talking about all of mpk's questionable behaviour from the past. He has been uploading content for the past 4/5? weeks. MPK dug into the well just outside the walled garden for the whole day, spoke with some man about the possible where about of the tunnel. Billy even mentioned mpk been looking for the tunnels for weeks, made the bitchy remark: keep digging or should I go tell Michael. Billy had knowledge of something which MPK did not have (that the granite tops of the well's in the convent had metal rings and it was possible to find it with the metal detector) Instead of sharing his knowledge, Billy kept it to himself and went in there to try to find it for himself.Yes I am a Billy defender, I see it another way. Once again Micheal starts something does the big ta da tunnels, acts all knowledgeable. Billy even gave him Steve to help. Who pays Steve? He wouldn't of done it for nothing.
Tunnels been good clickbait for a few, raised Chateau life'e Phils numbers. They have known about the tunnels for a while. Then silence Micheal spends how long digging outside Sadies flat then focuses on the old well lid and silence. Got to keep the viewers wanting to view. Where Billy was is no where Micheal first started digging.
Billy has stated ages ago, re the cobbles outside Micheals cottage,billy started them and then Micheal did some and lost interest and Billy and dad over a period of months finished them and during that process last summer no Micheal seen.
Yes there is rivalry between them, Micheal is more articulate than Billy, more at ease on camera. He and Billy do have an artistic camera eye. But I sense Billy has been the one who has always protected his elder brother, tried to motivate him, bought a car for him to learn to drive, giving him independance and supported him over a long period of time. Is Micheal jealous of Billy? who knows.
The tunnels are now put on hold, no more questions, what Billy found most likely is a sewer line.
Yet…. Annalise had girlie weekends with Natty……There certainly seems to be enough circumstantial evidence to support this theory. If so, I am saddened as Cat was my favourite at the chateau. I would have thought her far too intelligent to bother with Dan and I hope she never went near Snorts. The trouble is, I really liked Annalise too, although we did not see much of her. I watched Escape to RF back then too. Isn't life funny. Both Annalise and Cat are too good for Dan. Amoury is too good for Natti and should have been with one or other of those girls. Snorts is not good enough for anyone - not even Fanny. Slim pickings in rural France it would seem.
