The Chateau Diaries #26 The Church Of Stephanology. There’s a global pandemic, Madame Ignorance

[MsPitstop]

Anyone with any sort of decency would not have travelled out of Canada, they knew how bad it was. So damn selfish and so damn stupid of anyone allowing them to visit. But it’s lalaland, they have their own superior rules and damn everyone else

There's no way they kept to themselves when they landed. Steve said they were in the same shops as Stefanie in Dordogne!

[Linus]

The comment has been removed... Kudos for trying

 

[Rory]

Another vlog where Philip is interviewing, etc. Only a matter of time until one vlog a week he does alone. Mentioned in vlog he used to sleep in attic bedroom. Which room is his now?

 

[Jeeves]

So Dawn is here! Hello Dawn. Shame the Tattle the gnome didn't last very long.

 

[Midnightcowboy]

What I find horrible to think of is that, in their eager to hide the thruth, they are forgetting the risk is real and not just contained to their bubble, but for the whole area, and along the routes travelled.

It's at this point that any reasonable person would have to question the morals of people attending this bash, or lack of them. In my book, respect is something you gain, not yours as a given right. I have more respect for the men/women who empty my dustbin, than that lot who are riding roughshod over all sensibilities, and putting innocent people at risk. Rant over, time to lie down in a dark room....

 

[LadyLainie]

Even worse, Macron will probably announce on Wednesday. Could even be a nationwide lock down again. But I doubt that will impress Madame Ignorance, her bubble is obviously and naturally Covid free. In her perfect world there is no need to be careful or even thoughtful of other people's fears and heartships. She's to spread joy, no matter what and if she can freeload some money along the way, even better.
I can't go on facebook, been banned. I might report her on youtube itself for spreading misinformation. See if that helps.

I would join you! It's horrendous what she's doing. I can't get over her saying that much of her travel throughout this pandemic has been for WORK, in order to create videos FOR US, to show us all these stunning chateaux. What bullshit. It makes me really angry on so many levels. How does she even get away with saying that to her fans? CD was never a travel channel in the first place! It's about DOING UP her F*cking pile in the country. SJ, don't insult us by trying to pretend that you have some obligation to produce a certain amount of travel content, just because you're bored and flush with money and tired of waiting out the pandemic with the rest of us.

 

[Rory]

They all feel too privileged to have a conscience. And using all christian dates for their display of excesses, when there’s nothing christ-like about them in the least.

And suddenly all these apartments that need urgent building... That is why Miss Idiocy needs time away from the noise and dust... Nutty can’t work in a chateau, she desperately needs to have a view of the courtyard. Ever heard of a door bell?

We should be asking project questions in the patron videos, since patreons are too dumb failing to do so. That should get their attention.

I was a patreon and asked a question from a care and concern perspective re building works (ie pleasently worded). Got attacked by some no-body, no answer from SJ So I cancelled patreon. SJ doesb't answer questions on patreon from $5 donors.

Another former chateau inhabitant update..Tomaz dream comes true

 

[Marten]

Gosh! This lady really means it!

[SableOnBlonde]

Watch out Stephanie and Philip, there’s some stiff competition coming your way!

A hot middle aged woman with her baps out and a sexually ambiguous young man with long hair, holed up in a big house in the countryside, he acts as her cameraman ....where have we seen a duo like this before?

Elizabeth Hurley 'set to film her own at home in the country series'

The model, 55, has spent the coronavirus lockdowns with her son, 18, mother Angela, 80, and elder sister Kate, at the lavish mansion.

SOLVED: The mystery of the downstairs loo delay...
It's Selmar's fault. No wonder he yogas at someone else's chateau grounds for some peace of mind.
Vino will have to hold it in 'til 2023!

Sure, sure, the old blame someone who isn't there!

And is anyone else laughing at the antiques dealer selling all the crap to Stefanie and Phillip. He must have seen a pair of suckers when they first walked in and thought, "ka-ching"!

 

[MojoDublin]

I got my first comment from a Super-fan on my super ty video. Unfortunately, I don't understand what she is saying... Is she short-circuiting?
Tess dear, since you read here. Remember to like & subscribe, and maybe see a doctor.

(Not meant to derail, or promote. Meant as further evidence, that the superfans (flying monkeys) are truly reading here.)

Dear tessehling .... Stephanie

Clearly you are reading tattle it’s like the ladybird books of etiquette and social awareness - how bad is your recovery that even Netflix can’t hold your attention ....tattle like an intravenous drug now ,.. huh

Thing is Steph - the musings of the high achievers on tattle - would only come across on camera as a natural thought on THEM personally

On you -
a narcissistic bell end with a double digit lack of intelligence

I’m beginning to think it’s not empathy you need it’s a apathy .... as a long term stay at a sanatorium is what your hoping for

Jail is the best we can offer

Jail - social .. to protect OAP
Jail - moral .... as you have none
Jail - for your ingorance at assuming you could explain away gifts been abandoned in a shed
and the mice ate them as NUTTI couldn’t be arsed to do the job you pay her for

A real honest person would have opened the boxes removed the pershables .

Not you

laughing at all the effort a fan went to buy the items
Laughing at the expense of postage
Laughing at the wanton lack of respect
At the gift

Laughing and warning if the gifts ARE not to my liking they will be BANISHED to the shed - for months till I RUN out of content

You are as dumb as you look

As for editing my post, english is not my first language and I always edit my posts because of my mistakes.
I didn't edit the one about bidets, baths and bums.
Or if I did, it was only for english mistakes.
Good night.

And @Marquis de Potpourri
I can’t spell ...
Words I never even spelt out - the Fecking phone uses to wreck my life
I see mistakes after .. try to correct and someone’s used my post ... to reply so I say one thing ... the repost says another

Laugh
You both are superb contributing ... I thank the global population for being here as were all brilliant in our own way

Sometimes we just don’t GET each other - and that’s ok

Ps I hope Ye both appreciate the lack of emojis

Steve just flew in from Ontario Canada... this is the headline there today—COVID is now completely out of control

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/new-data-shows-covid-19-pandemic-now-completely-out-of-control-in-ontario-key-scientific-adviser-says-1.5968720?__vfz=medium=sharebar

[lalablahblah]

Selmar is jumping ship... Wonder what made him leave his dream of Lalaland? Who's going to care for the animals?

 

[Jeeves]

Lalaland is a hybrid of the lost boys in Neverland and Miss Jarvis' Home for Peculiar Children.....

Great title for next thread...(thanks Jeeves!)

Thank you -maybe an abbreviated version (as someone commented that titles were too long?)

#27. Church of Stephinology: Miss Jarvis' Home for Peculiar Children

 

[Phoenix Richards-Bingham]

Perhaps we will all have an amazing surprise
When SJ returns home maybe it will be to find that Ian and co have COMPLETED one or maybe even two projects.... if they got their skates on
Wouldn't that be lovely?

Maybe that's the REAL reason she was "evicted" from the chateau for some supposed R&R...so that the workers could get some actual WORK done without her constant interruptions & shoving a camera in their faces!...just sayin'...

 

[MsPitstop]

On another note, I still cannot believe how MPK has done no videos. Unless he’s only doing them for his patrons? That could be the case. But I doubt it… If he keeps this up showing all of his spending, is anyone going to keep funding
his new lifestyle? When, essentially, he’s doing nothing right now for the money that people are paying in. I do not understand it.

Exactly! It drives me nuts. At this stage it is fraud: he promised a vlog every Friday (goods); is being paid by patreons to do a separate one for them (instead releases his vlog earlier for them - big whoop). The patreons aren't getting what they paid for. Instead, he is using the money to go on holiday and pay for a lifestyle he can't afford. Fraud.

Same as someone stealing money from company to pay for their lifestyle.

Same for the cottage: A go fund me was set up to pay for the renovation of the cottage, instead all that has resulted is a aga corner. No running water, only one major and one small wall done.

When I questioned why Michael wasn't working on the cottage in mid-January, all the old biddies said, "Michael needs a break". Well, biddies, he's had two now. Two more than 99.99% of the world at the moment. He's taking the piss.

 

[Parrfect Porcelane]

The p ipe perforation was months ago, I remember seeing it on the video and Stephanie said something along the lines of it doesn't matter, we can get that fixed straight away. Sounds like they are passing the buck

Well that stinks to blame it on Selmar. If I'm remembering, he was making great progress until they realized Stephanie hadn't ordered the floor tiles and then she couldn't find what she wanted and then they decided to use the ones from the old dairy. The amount of work Selmar was putting in to cutting them down to the right size didn't make any sense.
