I think PhiPhi has had issue after issue throughout his life. This is being channeled into snarky, childish behaviour in his late twenties. Perhaps he is using alcohol as a coping mechanism?
Or maybe wine for breakfast is a new story line they cooked up together. That would be vile.

I loved The Garden of the Finzi Continis.....this guy is the real deal.
Bourdain said in 2008 or whatever it was there were only 61K Venetians left on the city island. Now 51K. I hope they prevail and survive the inundation of really appalling tourists. Bourdain takes all that on No Reservations, Season 5, Ep 3 -- hangs out with real Venetians on the other islands, and goes to the fish market, their homes and cichetti bars with them, goes to work in the port, goes to San Erasmo to eat perfect tomatoes, goes to the tugboat guy's home to eat what his mother in law cooked in their beautiful garden (anchovy and onion sauce, cuttlefish en su tinta...some other magical granny/fisherman food, which Bourdain points out is Venice' best thing: Real food, impeccably fresh, flavored with itself and the Adriatico. Ay.)
Of course I loved Bourdain, I think I know what my plans are late afternoon tomorrow 🙂

I think those mosaic brooches are actually made in Venice. I remember being there many, many years ago and they were in all the souvenir shops and market stalls and were cheap to buy. Maybe it's different now, or did Viv pick one up for next to nothing and give it to Fanny? That red coat and awful hat don't do her any favours.
That's an interesting point. This morning one of my favourite auction sites had a pair of small micro mosaic earrings set in 22ct on shepherd hooks. The guide price is $200 - $400. A good buy if it's purchased by a private buyer but a trader would want a 100% mark up. So just say it sells at the top end you could expect to pay $800 in a shop.

So they bought after looting Churches:

Becoming chateau owners

One of the couples featured on the first series of Escape to the Chateau DIY became firm favourites with the viewing public. They were young and inexperienced but had huge commitment to bring back to life a neglected and enormous chateau.

Their willingness to do whatever it took, working night and day, impressed everyone. Billy Petherick from Greenwich in London was just 27 and his fiancé Gwendoline from Cherbourg, Normandy was 24 when they bought the Chateau de la Baismagnée. In the heart of the rural department of Mayenne in Pays de La Loire, it cost them €1,050,000 in 2016. Billy had some building experience, Gwendoline had worked in retail but nothing daunted them.

“When we decided to get a house in France, we knew we wanted to take on a project. Perhaps a grand house, manoir, maison de maître, or small château, but when we were looking online, we stumbled across a listing for a grand château” says Gwendoline. “We thought that even if it was bigger than what we were looking for, it was so beautiful that it was definitely worth a look, at least we could dream for an afternoon. But when we saw it, we fell in love with the place straight away. It made us re-think all our plans, because after seeing the Chateau de la Basmaignée we couldn’t really imagine ourselves being anywhere else. After months of figuring out a way to pursue this crazy adventure, we got the keys to our beautiful chateau”. Funding came from a legacy from Gwendoline’s late mother and bank loans.

Fanny interviewed his wife on one vlog. She (Jane da Mosto) is British and heads a charity to save Venice. Fanny contributed to it, presumably from the gift grab funds. Fanny liked being associated with an aristocratic Italian family.
I am half expecting Fanny to say she her new bff is Skye McAlpine.

It's interesting that Amaury can suddenly speak clearly when it's not the pink phone but the Nattycam.
I noticed that too. Speaks right up and answers questions politely, cleverly, and with accompanying action.
Still thinking his slappy balls dumplings segment was something his boss should have taken to heart. I don't know why he stays unless the Richmonds have bought Larkin out.

Billy’s pre trial detention at his property also enabled him to continue to generate between 10,000 to 20,000 euros and sometimes more per month in YouTube revenue before news of his theft from churches and February 5, 2024 trial impacts his YouTube channel popularity and monthly earnings from YouTube. He earned more than enough during the 3 month pre trial detention to pay both his and Gwen’s fines.


So do think the notoriety will gain him more or less follows, it remains to be seen I suppose. Some people like to se car crashes that’s why Franny still has followers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
She was driving the getaway car?
Or she was just too easily distracted by her mobile - like this girl:
LOL , the getaway cars were a Mercedes and a Porsche, Billster and Gwen don’t skimp on luxuries 🤣😂🤦‍♀️

But did we not see them down in the Patreon flog? Or the flog of Marie's return? When the gruesome twosome were "allegedly" still in Venice. Which means... more jiggery pokery with the timey wimey. Who was where when?

Its like a game of Cluedo who was where, in which room, at what time 🤣😂🙀

Ironic they ended the video today toasting with a bottle of grifted port.
Its communion wine the Billster stole on one of his Mercedes or Porsche day trips with Gwen 🤣😂🙀😁🦄

Four-year-olds do. It's part of her poor little me thing.
Perhaps forks are hard to manage with her incredibly large, giant man hands so she has to improvise.

Snorts hands look like a young child’s hands. Guess that what happens when you do no work .

Yes, here’s the article. Billy, Billy, Billy. Going to be tough to work on the convent while you’re spending a year in prison for theft….of religious objects, no less! His defense chalked it up to “immaturity.” What a jerk.

Wow, 40 daylight thefts is not an aberration, it's a lifestyle. And Gwen also implicated, fined €10K but not sentenced to prison.
According to their story, Petherick was interested in 'the architecture' of churches, while his partner had 'little time' to see him.
They therefore took 'car rides' together, during which Petherick would enter buildings he was interested in. However, prosecutors made the case that once inside, he would steal objects and sell them on.
Gwendoline said she was 'unaware' of the thefts, the court heard, and that during this time she would be playing on her phone or writing her dissertation.
According to Le Parisien, the court heard that she told investigators that when she heard about Petherick's actions, she was 'not shocked' because he 'did not have a high opinion of the Church'.
A lawyer representing the diocese of Rennes criticised the loss of the objects, saying they 'were all used for worship'. He demanded a symbolic sum of 2,000 euros from the court for the 'time spent' dealing with the thefts and to reimburse the losses.

Fanny is playing her frugal little orphan princess role tonight taking down ornaments and I am assuming playing the dead Daddy Derek card, as usual.

Fanny and Snorts will be busy tonight monitoring the cd comments.Hope Isabelle6541 has time to help them tonight.
Yep, the cd comments have been heavily controlled with no comments about possible jail terms for the gruesome twosome and nothing but gushing comments.
I think before they delete- the slave comments are getting under their skin. The truth hurts.Lazy Skummy Sleezebags.

Yes, totally. I think she has body dysphoria too. She doesn't know her right size or how to right-size herself socially/in public. Partly what the costumes and outlandish granny porn street wear is about.
I, for one, miss the Carnivale Baps.

I'm even more shocked that the Lalande chatelaine has managed her criminal shenanigans for so long.

He's too busy doing all of Ryan's house renovations. I hope Ryan is paying him well. I get the feeling that Nick sees Ryan struggling with ADHD and possibly more - and he can't help himself, has to help the guy out. What a nice man.
Nick does the donkey work no matter the job... on the organ, the drain at Ryans, all the shoveling and bucket filling for Ryan, lowering the bucket whilst Ryan waited to dump it then back to Nick.... Nick is very appreciative, but Ryan is lazy and clueless.
