This is a late reply but thank you to Hedda for your kind words and thoughts.
I am using CD which is such a fantasy world for all the wrong reasons, as a form of escapism as life as become pretty intolerable.
The options at the moment involve me leaving the home and garden I have made and loved for 30 years to try and allow my sanity to return.
Caring 24/7 for loved ones. is exhausting and many other things. Money cannot buy everything even if it can help smooth some paths.
The observations, book recommendations many laughs that I can enjoy here whilst all around me is chaos is very beneficial . Thanks one and all.


Anyone else that needs this , it comes with love.
This is kind of fabulous. Thinking today about how heritage culture gets people through extremity. Many examples, without going into it.
Here's the NYT review, no paywall.

There used to be that UK TV show where contestants were given a specific amount of money to buy stuff in Brocantes or equivalent car boot sales then sell in UK - it seemed almost impossible to make any money.
Was that "Bargain Hunt"?
My husband and I used to watch that here in the States and loved it.

I am aware that many tartlets are invested in bringing Stephanie Jarvis to justice by emphasizing the aspect of her crime spree that she is defrauding grannies. I don't know the demographic of her Patreons, and avoid characterizing them by age, sex and lack of means. I think these obloquys may serve purposes counter to bringing Jarvis to justice which may also be the excuse I hang on to for showing my fanny on a gossip site.
Just so, the law of fraud's fundamental premise is caveat emptor: The duty of the defrauded to perform due diligence before investing in the fraud. Some here, including me, admit to having been seduced by Jarvis but were also disabused on closer inspection and withdrew our Patreon support (I subscribed at the $1 a month rate, like many early Tattlers who wouldn't admit it, to see if the videos contained more evidence of fraud*).
How hundreds of us, we happy few, we band of bros, were able to avoid or extract ourselves from Stephanie Jarvis' fraudulent activities is the evidence that due diligence is our first responsibility when faced with a grifter. Not to take responsibility for my part in a possibly fraudulent transaction, by emphasizing the no-shit-Sherlock fact that grifters gonna grift, IMHO, underestimates the power of the grift phenom by not examining how it works on otherwise sensible people like us. This of course has major world-wide political ramifications.
Seems to me that's how to stop it.
If that's our purpose here at all.
Gossip has long been studied as a social and ethical arbiter. We can be here for that too, as a jury really adjudicating the criminal/unethical nature of the crimes, and I have to say there is real discernment on those lines going on here. Some of the stuff I especially enjoy is the video savvy edging into a discussion of video composition and construction rhetoric as authoritarian/fraudulent. Because Jarvis is speaking the language of Modi and his brothers around the world, just to name one avatar. You can call analyzing that rhetoric gossip, but I don't think so.

_________________
*And my $1 a month subscription was fully rewarded. I was utterly and profoundly persuaded of Jarvis' ruthlessness and incompetence by the Patreon video in which her ladies' maid Philip Janssen groomed her, in a side pony and 80s vintage one-shouldered cocktail dress, to meet the gimlet-eyed and influential resto-grant-giving New York French Heritage Society via Zoom. Part of it was the old saw I learned early in business life that to grift people successfully, you have to dress like them. In this case, people in black. For your interview, dress for the job you want. I realized Jarvis was deeply incompetent as a grifter of the authentic gatekeepers/arbiters of chateauverse money, and that her real crimes against humanity/Creation lay in another direction. Of which @Clara Burnett was the documentarian: Exploitation of workers and animal cruelty.
Quoting self, 1000 pardons. I have to admit grifting the small donors is a different enterprise than grifting large and savvy donors, or, meeting the business interview standards of the big money people. Demagoguery is the difference, and analysis of Jarvis' use of that rhetoric is the gold standard for that, and not much fun here. Though a lot of that work does get done here. Still thinking of her wearing that black sundress to meet the mayor of Paris, was it, in the depth of winter?

Carole’s gilding obsession has rubbed off. Teresa is gilding the plastic/polystyrene/resin mouldings at the cha-faux.

Take note Terrible Terry and snorty snorty so plastic ugggh. The board member of heritage France and USA friends of Paris versille restored his heritage panels with silk fabric. Oh and also an interior decorator from Chile. Juan Pablo.

I can just hear snorty furiously typing in now his name and chateau to smooze up this guy and get a free bee tour and brown nose him.

Too late we've had our holiday. He's a one man band, his builder falling off a roof hasn't helped as it's turned his whole schedule upside down. He's fully booked up until the new year. This is a busy time of year for him so injuries are the last thing he needs. Said he can't believe this weeks bad luck.

The owners of that house have been renovating it for the last few years (it was almost derelict) won't be completed for a while yet. That's their ensuite bathroom.

He's just said he's thinking of either buy me a coffee or a secret patreon. Tit! :ROFLMAO:
Busting out these bad boys for Mr. Jackspratt 🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿

P.s. love what he has done with the bathroom!

Structurally, I believe the Dump may be less safe/ less structurally sound than the crispy chateau. Both need a roof, are damp, the walls and floors are falling down, and both are full of dodgy/ half assed/ half completed work that would not pass routine building inspections/ codes compliance . The holiday from hygiene Dump is just as filthy as the crispy chateau.The only difference between the two places is that Dan feeds visitors a better quality and quantity of food at the crispy chateau and he doesn’t charge 79 euros a plate for edible dirt and crap.

Greedy Frankenfraudie and her lazy co owners would never sell the Dump until they have taken and sold every euro of wood that could be harvested from the woods on the property.
Fanny is one mentally ill disturbed individual. I see her getting weaker every vlog…. she will be incarcerated before too long. Definitely on the brink.. that’s the only saving grace. Keep pushing Fanny, keep grifting with every morsel of your being…. I may send a thank you card (Spode design 🙄) to the governor of ur ward!! Soon…….

Now let us guess what plant name did Snort’s Grandfather choose as a nickname for his grandson?
My first proposal is Silybum - it is a from the Persicaria plant family.
That's delightful! Oh, and it's a thistle too! Particularly poignant too considering the latest journey to Scotland.

I thought it was a freebie too.... he said he'd looked at many but this one caught his eye because it was beautiful... he's gone begging again... using a bit of PR and the amount of subscribers to CD's who would love to see and hear about this lovely place... The owner did watch CD... job done.
---

SJ said the drawers/files were made of cardboard... With the amount of damp in that place the next time we see it will be in a state of collapse... soggy cardboard does not stand up...Surely if people want to keep paper files they should be kept in a dry and secure unit... this didn't even have a key... oh but wait it won't need one as you can just cut it open anyway.
I believe it made have been made in the 1930’s or 1940’s. IMHO, I think the name of g. Borg…. Is a name plate or identifier for the store, and it was used in Paris. I believe that name of that store is where they sold other books or some types of documents so the cardboard filing boxes could be used for receipts or other types of things. I don’t know who actually made the cabinet itself but I do not believe it’s the George whatever nameplate on the back of the cabinet ( I could be wrong). That just details the owner/ business who owned and used the filing cabinet.

Is there any talented Tattler who can screenshot it and run it through a Google search to see if they can locate which auction Snorts purchased the cabinet from? We know that it’s either item number 498 or lot number 498, it was shipped to the dump, if it’s been used in a store that was located in in downtown Paris, it was likely purchased by someone in the Parisian area or in France. I don’t know when he actually purchased it online, but snorts mentioned that it was from a house clearance? It sounds like an estate sale of some type. Snorts loves French online auctions.

I don’t know what type of auction sites that snorts regularly and obsessively scans for items to buy for the dump. I would assume that if the item is being shipped to them., It would not necessarily be a heavy item if the majority of it is made of cardboard, it just has a wooden frame, and was probably from somewhere in France.

I would assume it was probably purchased within the last two months, and that the auction company promptly shipped the item to the dump. If the gruesome twosome had to pick it up, it would take them months to pick up the cabinet. I don’t recall what the French word was that Frankenfraudie used to describe the item, le casseurs ( sp?) . I would be very surprised if she actually purchased the item and had the item shipped to the dump for €100. Stranger things have happened, but it is suspicious that Frankenfraudie chose a figure that doubled her previous fake figure a €50 that she uses for everything ( and was busted as a lie on multiple occasions).

The challenge is on for any intrepid Tattler who is willing to undertake the investigative skills to locate this elusive “ bargain.”

I thought he was applying pressure to her accupuncture points to alleviate her head ache... he pressed so hard the pain in her hand distracted her from the pain in her head.

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 think Nick has history with St Johns or the 'gifting' of the organ... it is obviously something he feels very strongly about... it didn't help that the new benefactor of said organ is an army deserter.

The word "daily" just means it occurs each day. At no time has Stephanie claimed that it's all in real time. That's just your (inaccurate) interpretation. She's always been very honest that she frequently saves up film. Your belief that daily vlogs should only contain footage that occurred that day is your problem, because that's not what it means and no one is claiming that's what's being shown. Why does it even matter? All these things happened within the last few days, but it's only enjoyable to you if it all happened on Tuesday?
Frankenfraudie aka the little orphan princess is throwing yet another tantrum in the comment section. She is soooooooooo honest ( not) that she hides under assumed names instead of the chateau diaries account, Frankenfraudie will never change, if her lips are moving or her fingers typing, she is likely lying.Why is she so hostile?

Nothing to do with SJ and not even vaguely chateau-related, I’ve started a binge-watch of the new Bosch series on A’zon Prime. Midway through Episode 2 and my heart rate is roaring. Have the intravenous brandy ready in the VIP lounge this evening, please!
Going to check it out tonight! TYVM

Snorts, sitting there all crossed legged in his riding boots 🤠🤢👢🦄 "I know porcelaine", just aswell because you know fuck all else.

You'd think she's stay with the guests and chat rather than go into the kitchen (MariA sounds ill), staff eating at the kitche table again.

Leave Dave the fuck alone.

Dave, if you read here or if a friend of his does.........DROP THE PLATES

Remember they are paying 75 euros for this

Leek and potato soup
One, yes one stuffed cabbage leaf with two (steady on there pushing the boat out a bit) glazed carrotts
Chocolate mouse with granola on top

TAKING THE PISS!!!

I'm sure the paying patron would rather she talk about what their money goes towards, than another cutting room floor collage of a day in the life but hey what do I know.
Not to mention all that vintage cask wine they can drink!!!!

The producers may be watching Dan’s current reckless behavior in YouTube videos and his complete lack of safety on the site and determining if it is in their best interests to publicize such fear/ danger porn, e.g., encouraging unsafe behaviors, publicizing blatant danger porn, is it a real project or just danger for airtime/ YouTube scam reality show? Dan ignores his viewers and can be dismissive/arrogant. Is it just a matter of time before serious injury occurs at the crispy chateau or the blatant disregard of construction principles are clearly at issue to average viewer? Is he modeling dangerous behavior for children or idiot DIY groupies? Do they really want to promote this or will it come back and bite them in the ass if they are promoting a scam project involving a building affiliated with holocaust survivors/victims.

Did the producers use due diligence in determining who owns the property, is this a legit undertaking, is Dan being truthful, is info c9 v eyed to viewers truthful, etc.? They should be extra careful featuring Dan since his mentor and good pal is Frankenfraudie, the pathological liar and YouTube/Patreon huckster.
I wonder if the increasing fecklessness is on their instruction -- Dan is auditioning for more appearances. In the same way Channel 4 sets Stephanie up as their series buffoon.

This guy was a friend of Jeffery Epstein, so no, I wouldn't surprise me that Snorts would have him on a wish list.

You don't think that Dan has timey-wimey issues, like Stephanie does?
I don't trust either one of them to be presenting vlogs that are correct, time-wise.
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?

I can’t find (admittedly, I haven’t bust a gut to search for the info!) the C4 listing for all of next week, but the episode on Monday, 30th October is Danless. I’ve not watched any of the series, just read the synopsis of episodes as the weekly listing app i have is updated.

It does seem really odd that Chateau Brûlée is included when the people featured so far are reviving, if not villages, then at least a cohesive collection of buildings. How Dan and the burnt out, roofless shell fits the brief is beyond me.
is he realy part of this show?
