You could be on to something. A cursory search of the Daily Mail Online shows the last coverage of Dick and Angel (Hey Koolaid, iykyk) was about eight months ago and negative. As the Strawbridges are on the North American tour of their circus they might’ve gotten wind of upcoming DM bad publicity. It’s not a stretch for them to have thrown the Pethericks under the bus in exchange for dropping publication. It happens all the time. The bad news for the Strawbridges is most tabloids will only honor the agreement for a short period of time. Most often they’ll leak the info to a sister publication. When that happens typically they claim to have kept to the original agreement but as it’s now common knowledge it’s no longer applicable and can now be reported.

We don't know, of course, whether he has a partner or spouse that he lives with, but when Nic was telling him about Antoine, he said that he had a teenage daughter. I thought he looked quite cross at the beginning of his chat with Fanny in the last vlog, he wasn't smiling at all and looked as if he wanted to say "Not you again" but he later smiled and laughed. At least, he'll be able to escape from her for a while. If he's got any sense, he'll send others to do the next lot of jobs. I am not sure if he's just leading that specific project or whether he's in a more responsible position in the company.

Imagine if the whole place was done to this style, plain walls exposed beams, just how clean and calming it would look. As it stands at the moment the chateau is an assult on all the senses and I fear it is just going to get worse.

Billy, bring a recalcitrant man, a recidivist thief, is clearly a most dishonest prick. Dishonest pricks are rogues in all areas of their lives. Rogues and thieves piss a lot of people off and Billy boy will have many enemies. That the Strawbridges were the tattlers is drawing a long bow. I reckon there’d be a long line of unknown to us expats dying to dial the Daily Mail.

Thinking of Silly Billy and nicking a Chalice, this just popped into my head.

Here’s my opinion…just like the lake, the Grand Salon, the heating, and a myriad of other projects, the chapel will be forgotten. She’s collected $200K. Now the excuses begin…have to wait for another survey, wait for the workers to get finished with another project, waiting on materials, and on and on. In the meantime, she’ll move on…her superfans with short term memory will forget…and the next collection will begin. She’s done it again and again. But, I’ll say one thing…if she does this after the $200K in Star donations, she’s got balls bigger than her baps…as you can see in this rendering for the chapel!

I'm pretty sure that Billy met Gwen through Ryan

Apologies for the typos - I always find it hard to post using my phone! Currently sitting in a badly lit car park, in the pouring rain, waiting to pick up middle grand-daughter from her lyrical ballet class. Gosh, the river is running very fast - there have been a few flood warnings issued but thankfully we are on fairly high ground.


Clearly no relation to Pheef - although maybe that moniker would be better suited to Billy now! Michael and Billy can now be known as Teabag and Tealeaf!

As you say, we’ll never know the number of Billy’s enemies. Particularly those that take a dim view of his desertion. However, as a retired journalist whose speciality was corruption and malfeasance, I’m particularly good at drawing a long bow and hitting the target, if not the bullseye, from continents away. I studied at the knee of Kathrine Graham. The Strawbridges would be the low hanging fruit in this case. The same could be said for Stephanie Jarvis though. She’s had a number of TL members contact the Daily Mail and nary a peep published against her.

When will Michael and Billy throw Stephanie under the bus?.Hopefully soon. I could see gossip Stephanie spilling tales about them or Dan to avoid or postpone exposure of her morally corrupt life in the media.

Not possible, Fanny’s LodgerChild is always two steps behind her. Also, Sebastian seems like he is freaked out by her ( and her tagalong son)

I thin Billster is as big a narcissist as Fanny. She is just smarter.

Makes sense now how they manage to find these fixer uppers at bargain prices.
Everyone of these YouTubers are not who they seem to be. Greeed grifters the lot of them.

It's the expat community - same in all countries and all types of expats: they look out for each other and make a buck.

I was starting to quite like Billy and his channel, thought he had turned around from the last issue, had a good work ethic, but this latest is too hard to ignore. Imo Gwen is no innocent and knew all. I simply cannot reconcile how one can steal from Churches. That whole concept, and doing it repeatedly, reveals a complete lack of character and conscience. I now think his entire YT personality has been a strategic con and a complete ruse.

I don’t wish them any further consequences, however, Billy better control his inclinations, otherwise he will be in lock up.
For me, i will no longer view his channel.

I'll give her this, she might have been at a loss for words. However, I'd like to think she's either ignorant or she wants to prove she is so French, that she forgot the English name.

Now, Fanny saying disturbing the chapel workers is "her favourite part of the day" to me says leakage. As a person with strong narcissistic tendencies the chapel workers are new narc supply, that's why she loves them/Sèbastien. Tante Two Tonnes, Oncle, Armoire, Nazi, Marie and PhiPhimodo have all become stale.

That's a perfect way to shift focus. Billy, Mikey, and Gwen, if you're reading here, spill the beans!
