Oh shut your hole Walmsley no relation of Gooder are you? That one's a waste of oxygen too.

Her eyebrows seem closer to her eyes here…

I think Stephanie, like many people. has eyes that are asymmetrical . . . . as evidenced in this photo.
Her use of botox heightens just how asymmetrical they actually are.

Asymmetrical Eyes: Causes and Treatment

Few people have perfectly symmetrical faces, and asymmetry is not a cause for concern. Still, eye asymmetry is sometimes created by a medical condition. Learn about the causes and treatment options.

Pretty sure it is. When you click on the comment posted by Nick, it takes you to HIS FB page - here's the picture of himself that he posted 2 years ago....

I just loved when pantyhose came in...... I hated suspenders!
Did you have "Witches Britches" where you lived in the 70s ? They hide the gap from suspenders to the top of the stocking. A very long leg tight pant that did not show under the school dress .
They had fun colours - I had a bright pink with little roses but I was glad to dump it when pantyhose came in.

I don't think we had the witches britches Pekey.. only garter belts or girdles

How old is Ashtray? 45-50? Still dressing like a teenager and talking about all the “bits” they need to “crack on” and get done at the derelict cha-faux.

Someone please take the gold paint away from Teresa!

So... are Michael & Florian an item? They were on the ship to the UK together.

 

[Pekey]

Aww too cute. I've never seen one of those.

I never knew of a Mary Quant doll either!
I would think it would be worth $$$
I did have Mary Quant makeup..... it was expensive in Australia at that time ( 70's) but I saved and bought a lipstick and powder. In the yellow box with the black daisy on it.
I thought I was Fab back then .

I hope he Never gets a dog !!! The poor thing will be neglected when he/she is not so easy to manage .

Or worse, made to wear his grandmother's pants.

 

[Toys in the attic]

Similar to what has been commented before.......someone's eating in there.
And could that nightstand be any more cluttered with crap?

Gross. Has he got something wrong with his hands that he can't do up buttons or is it too much like work for him?

 

[Just Grift Wood]

Every single surface is being covered by the china expert twit.
The top shelf in the kitchen might fall down under the weight. Who has to get up there to dust it all?

It looks so tacky. Especially keeping a Fortnum and Mason box please

Johnny the Bonny update.

King Charles promotes 'hunky' aid to 'super equerry'

Lt Col Johnny Thompson, who is famed for appearing alongside the royals in a kilt, was 'due to leave the Army within 18 months', ending his role as an equerry, an insider has claimed.

'people will be seeing a lot more of him'

 

[CocktailGirl]

I'll go against the grain and say I'm glad Nick Walmsley called out Billy.
Other than that, I really don't care...

Quite right, I'm glad too. I just wish that Mr Walmsley hadn't muddied the waters by having his own axe to grind which means that his comment may well be dismissed. I really hope the Daily Mail picks up on the story again.

It's nice to know that the organ will be preserved, but it upsets me that Billy is involved. It is amazing to me that he was even allowed back into the UK for such a project. I do care about that.

 

[JackSpratt]

Aww too cute. I've never seen one of those.

I have mine still, it's called a Daisy doll, after the Mary Quant Daisy.

I still think the whole thing is being scripted to fit in with the tv programme he is going to appear in. I think a lot will be revealed when it is shown on tv, and he is banking on the fact that people will rush to look at his vlogs to learn more. More views, more subscribers, more patrons. He is dragging it out to lure in the suckers, just like Fanny did. She kept back reveals for ages because (allegedly) she promised C4 not to show certain things before they were released on tv. It's all a game, a shameful, scripted, disgraceful game purely motivated by arrogance and greed.

I would not be surprised if the tv people paid for the crispy chateau in the first place, and the idiot's apparent total disregard for health & safety is a requirement in his contract to add the element of danger and morbid interest to their story.

It seems strange to me that if Dan's going to be on the UK TV programme, which seems likely, as TV camera crew have been glimpsed at his ruin, how come he isn't saying so on his vlogs? Maybe his participation hasn't been given the green light yet.

 

[CocktailGirl]

If you look at the upper parts of the chateau from the outside it appears to be repaired but, from where he’s working inside it’s a crumbling mess. I’ve often wondered if he has more help than he’s letting on. We only see 5-10 minutes at a time and we only have his word on everything. I was afraid that Nick strained his back after their antics the day before. What he shows us could have happened a month ago. Who knows?

No wonder Mo needs two jobs - he has a high-maintenance girlfriend

I'd say he doesn't earn much from either so needs both just to get by - the cost of living in Europe is hideous; mind you, it has become that way in NZ as well. I have a very nice salary but it doesn't go far these days - people are just not coping very well.

 

[Freesia54]

Rooms start at 432 euros for 2 nights up to 2340 euros for one night in the penthouse suite. You know she and Ollie didn’t share the cheapest 432 euro room. They likely had the junior suite starting at 882 euros for 2 nights.

I didn't watch it all but has Ollie just begged this from Alene and Alex presumably the owners?

This Walmsley creature sounds like quite the Mrs. Grundy. I wonder if Petherick enemy the gibbering Gibbons put him up to it?

 

[NotAChatelaine]

Is it normal in France to pay builders etc in advance of commencing work. Hubby has never sought this, Mr Spratt??

I was going to ask @JackSpratt exactly the same thing (Mr. Spratt will soon be invoicing the CD threads for consultancy fees!) as it’s seems most odd to expect so much in advance of starting work. Some sort of deposit, followed by “progress payments” as the contract proceeds, makes sense.

Bearing mind that SJ is unbelievably dim, I wonder if the figures she threw out for the chapel restoration were inclusive or exclusive of VAT…if the latter, I hope she factored in an additional 20% to the contracted figure - quite a dollop of dosh (as far as I can see from the rules governing these Associations, it’s money that can’t be reclaimed as the Lalande Association isn’t registered for VAT since it’s a not for profit/non-trading entity).
