The Chateau Diaries #268 Stephanie Jarvis' dailies aren't even filmed daily, lazy cow!

Agreed! Felicity and Tim have class- Fanny, on the other hand, is like a bogan who has won the lottery. Cheese on toast, for the amount of money she has spent this year on clothes she could have easily purchased a few NEW vehicles for the Chateau staff to use to do things like purchase groceries for guest dinners and take the laundry out (except for FRK- she needs to be driving the worst vehicle in the fleet, as she will smash it)- instead, they are all sharing one sad used Ford Fiesta that Baghead Nick sold to Fanny for cheap.

I personally think the Aussies of Purnon are top notch... and I'm not just waving the flag in reflected glory here.

It's not just me who think Felicity and Tim are 'accepted' - even the President of France agrees. Macron would not have attended that heritage information reception gig featuring Purnon, had he not seen the merit in what they are trying to accomplish, or there was an ulterior motive. Politicians are notorious for getting out of events they don't want to go to by the simple excuse of saying 'there's something more important that the president needs to attend to' or by using the argument of citing 'national security issues.' However, I can't help wonder if, by the fact that Tim is a former Australian politician who retains close ties with the Victorian state government and by virtue, federal politics in Canberra was an added incentive for Macron to attend. Sad to say, this would have involved military contracts with Australian drone weaponry currently being manufacturered in Victoria for France. Macron may have no interest in a derelict chateau, but he'd certainly have an interest in keeping Australia happy for the sake of state of the art Australian drone technology.

Regardless, the Aussies of Purnon have gone about the restoration of Purnon the right way, unlike someone we know.

I feel like an imposter, Fanny you are one.

The cupboard that PJ wants to make smaller contains a fuse board that will be less accessible in a narrow cupboard unless it it moved so that the fuses are all visible and accessible. A job for a professional.

Right! I thought the same, but Snorts is ONCE AGAIN out of his element... 'let's just stick a pipe here, this metal box is never used..' Stupid,stupid boy...

In general terms, I don’t condone physical violence, However, I long for the moment that Armoire decks the prancing twerp.

Hi...I have just spent 10 glorious sunfilled days in Tenerife, it was hot. I knew I would be spending a lot of time by myself given my partners 'issues' so knowing we wouldn't be clubbing it in the evening (oh remember those days) I took my Ipad with me and caught up on all of my youtubers of an evening with a glass or 2 of wine...So I was able to catch up on the daily's but not with Tattle... You are a chatty lot... I'm only halfway through #297 & will return to it before proceeding with the current thread... I did watch last nights offering and I have never seen a hetrosexual man run up a flight of stairs the way that man cub did. The way he 'pranced' up that stair case ... I don't think I've ever seen a woman do that... His use of the word 'We' is really starting to grate too...don't you agree? Ooh yes I agree too... is another eye wincing phrase he needs to drop... I cannot wait for the day when the rug is pulled from under his firmly planted feet and sends him falling from the great height he seems to think he's reached. Anyways back to prevous thread... see you on other side..

I watched 5 minutes of the grab today... they mirror each other... the adulation of every-single-piece-of-crap is nauseating, can't watch.. The pathetic baby faces for 'made in China' crap.. too much. No wonder there's a landfill problem in this world.

I say, let the idiot do whatever he wants. One or a dozen more fails at this point won't make any difference. Perhaps it will speed up the demise of the entire EPIC fiasco. BTW I know the definition of epic and I am using it incorrectly here to stay consistent with Fanny's definition.

 

[TiggyWink]

It beggers belief how grubby the kitchen generally and specifically the painted cupboards: all scruffy and needing attention! As if this will happen....!

As a dog person. Anyone else notice only one puppy at Dan's burned out chateau,? Like maybe the last 3 or 4 videos. Only glimpses of one puppy? Of course running free in a construction site.

Never mind spoke too soon. He showed both puppies at the end

It's criminal the way the puppies are allowed to run around when the men are working.

"Landfill" is as good a place as any to dispose of Philip in, because in the entire chateauverse, he's the most disposable person. I would enjoy seeing him living out his days picking garbage. He could even specialise in picking out broken dinnerware to glue back together.

100% I was trying to think about your earlier assessment that her meals were some sort of sabotage but was having a tough time. I think Marie, as well as Stephanie, thinks this is fancy stuff, when it feels like over the top ingredients mashed together badly to look "posh", for lack of a better term.

Sad to say that the only thing I found somewhat pleasing in that mish-mash of food served at yesterday's vlog was FRK's tomato salad. I'm starting to really dislike Maria. She went on and on about how she prepared store bought tortelloni - we get it, you boiled them and put some of that fancy butter on them (actually, I couldn't understand a word of what she said in that dissertation, I'm just assuming). Got it!

Apparently, everyone in the chateau loves a good weenie, though. Pun intended.

I seem to have gone to all the trouble to spell MariA's name with our hip new Tattle Decoder spelling app, but I got the wrong one. Hell.
In any case, I keep thinking about the tour a good friend gave me of Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, a Russian mafia enclave back in the 90s. We walked the boardwalk, which is paradise, actually. One of the Russian mafia nightclubs had its boardwalk doors open to the breeze and daylight, and we got a good gander at a place we'd never enter, or if we did, emerge from in one piece.
They had flame-colored satin tablecloths.
Grrrrrl, never ever seen that except in one other place.
Russian Orthodox church, maybe the priest was wearing it.
In any case, that bling spiritual ethos goes deep and MariA is doing it with the turd crust.

 

[Imperious Me]

I'm out of it, I've always thought 'clown girl' was Stuart! I wondered why her personality changed I figured she'd dialed it down after seeing herself on the flogs...

Excellent idea - and giving the mended dinnerware to the poor; FINALLY he becomes productive.

I'm honored that Ed & Anna read Tattle .Today at the antique auction he acknowledged my drinking game when they say each other's names they encouraged us to enjoy wine or another beverage. Salud my friends!

Ha! I just noticed that I called her 'Marie' and not 'Maria'......I'm going to have to use the Tattle DeCoder app, too!

Rather than passion, Snorts is displaying his power in the shitoo to order work to be done, lording it over the owners & staff, pretending that searching on internet for bits of old wallpaper...'looks like a Sevres box' (expertise) gives value to the dump. Beggars belief. He has even muted the fans who go along with the "if you can't find anything good to say, don't say anything" , studiously ignoring him almost entirely in their comments to talk about Tante & Oncle or the state of Marie's room. But why should he care?Stephanie flipping Jarvis gives him her credit cards & freedom to spend his time on online auctions or buying 'bargain' crap at brocantes together with increasing screentime to show off as there's no one left to film unless she can jump on Amaury - I doubt if he even does the editing now. Oh & the travelling, plenty of that, involving wining & dining in the best places.
I honestly think Dan has so many viewers bc we had forgotten (on film) there are actual men out there,check out Cameron's sinewy legs for starters, doing men's work, digging, heaving getting things done, mostly without even talking about it. No Potts flogging photos or clowning, no Baghead Nick unable to move or talk, no MP tracing Beatrix Potter, no Ollie leaving the heavy stuff to Camilla, and above all no useless Prat.

Re-reading Tom Bower on Prince/King Charles. Philip Janssen so reminds me of two of the three villains of the book -- palace butlers Fawcett and Burrell, larcenous bullies and blackmailers. Police found that Burrell had thousands of photographs of Charles, William and Harry in the bathtub together when the boys were babies -- which he will go to his grave saying that she gave him.
Fawcett, accused of raping another valet, is the former valet who arranged for millions to be given Charles' charity in exchange for honors and British citizenship, which is a serious abuse of power.
I see Janssen is becoming a bully. When he will start selling off her things and secrets, alleging she gave them to him, I will not be surprised. It goes with the role he has chosen for himself.
(Third villain is Camilla. Bad woman. Or, in Bower's curiously old-fashioned but devastating lawyer speak, "shrewd mistress.")

I'm surprised she is coming back as last time, when she was acting the fool, Snorty and Kat were mocking her and very obviously laughing at her, not with her. She is clearly not sensitive to others' reactions, it was like water off a duck's back, so she's coming back for more! Is she a volunteer? They don't need more people when there are no guests, except to serve Fanny and Snorty. They certainly seem to have better and more copious food when it's just the core people plus Chantal and Stephen, rather than when the poor B & B guests are there!

Just one of many syndromes!

Last nights food again was bat tit weird. Turkey, pork, tomato and feta salad, pumpkin, some rancid puree, and a salad. The menus are about as cohesive as the the bloody decor and Fanny's dress sense. They invited the Pug's around for dinner and have not given any thought to what they are going to feed their guests. No wine on the table Fanny acts horrified!!! It is your house you have your Aunt and Uncle staying and have invited two friends, you should make sure there is wine on the table and know what you're going to feed them. Fanny is ill bred and exceedingly ignorant even if she is not planning on cooking the "lady" of the house should plan and know what she is feeding her guests. She is a lazy inhospitable vile trollop.

I see Ed's shaved his head in solidarity with Laurence Fox..

Tonights vlog...I must've been in another Universe as I missed where the new log burner was to be situated, such a faff to get it in. Dip stick Phiphi standing around like a spare prick at a wedding... think the 2 puffs arrived yesterday or last week, who knows but why is the big one always at the cooker? Amoury was very slappy slappy with the dough thing. I was hoping he might slap SJ around the chops with it..ooh I wish they'd play that slappy tortilla game holding a mouthful of water. I'd cheat and just keep slapping.. don't think Tattinet was
impressed with Amoury's slappy slappy, although he does come to life when mum and dad visit. Why would you go to the doctors with back pain when you no longer have it? Natti really has had enough now.. she doesn't even bother to hide it now...I didn't see the live chat the vlog itself was bad enough.

Her face here looks too big for her head all droopy flappy skin. She resembles a flaccid "Wicked Willy"
