New technical word for fine restoration " patchilly"
Patchilly... doesn't that sound very close to "pocket it!" :unsure:
Surely, I must be imagining things, eh Jailbird Jill. :sneaky:

Yes Pheeph’s delicate lady hands are quite the contrast to Fanny’s grabby man claws!🤣
Opposites attract.

The poor driver must have wondered where she was disappearing to...
That poor driver must have thought they were filming a porn - between an old female and a bearded female.

I am increasingly convinced that I must lead a very sheltered life as I am quite certain that I have NEVER encountered a man wearing a pearl dress ring.
If you didn't know otherwise, I am certain that most people would identify these hands as belonging to a girl/woman.
@Jeeves I’m gay and I’ve never seen a man…gay, straight, or bi…wear a pearl dress ring. Maybe a drag queen would wear one…although I’ve never seen that, either. On the one hand, I admire someone like Harry Styles who doesn’t conform to traditional norms and wears whatever clothing he feels comfortable or likes. But Snorts isn’t Harry Styles, and he just looks creepy and cringe…he can’t pull it off. Snorts…please stop!

I reckon that the prancing twerp has been scouring the internet and auction houses for ages, buying pieces from the Herend Rothschild Bird service wherever he can find them. His life’s mission is probably to have enough for 16 (from a starting point of 6 or 7 dessert plates that SJ had in her rag, tag and bobtail collection of mismatched china). The tureens are undeniably lovely but a completely unnecessary addition to Lalande’s crammed interior.

As for the guests, do they even know what they’re eating off? Do they even care?

Everything about Stephanie and her ghastly sidekick is grostesquely pretentious. Affectation after affectation. Unadulterated role playing. It has got much worse since Philip got in on the act. Uncontrolled delusions of grandeur. Unstoppable spending on fripperies. Beyond frightful.
Philip who was being paid to be editor and should of been editing was masterbating over purchased china
One of the principal reasons for the trip to Vienna at the start of the Winter of Culture was for Phyllis to go to the Dorotheum. It regularly sells Herend -- large amounts of it -- and also features it in its shop.

Here's Phyllis coveting Herend Apponyi in purple from that visit in January. Frankly I'm very surprised he chose a different (and more appropriate) pattern for Lalande and didn't start a collection of Apponyi simply because it's his aunt's wedding set. Or has he?

Ah yes that would be right as he used his kitchen in the farmhouse...
Even back then Dan realised that the shithole kitchen was not a place to prepare meals for paying customers!

It is quite lovely that Stephanie Jarvis is being fleeced from the money she has fleeced from Patreons.
Isn't that divine retribution...

Maybe those lazy grifters could fill the three new Herend tureens with mortar to repair the crumbling facade before more stones plummet.

What good are all these outrageous acquisitions when the whole structure falls down around them? It’s a sickness and yes, it has all increased exponentially since the pretentious prat arrived. They are addicts.

Poor Leftalot. He’s like one of those neglected animals trapped in a dangerous hoarder house.
Whenever I read this I see them like Cersei and Jamie Lannister in their final scene on Game of Thrones

Reminds me of my Uber driver days back in 2014... was driving a very drunk couple home from a bar and the guy asked if I minded if she went down on him as I drove. I said just don't make a mess.

So do these plates have lead paint? Are the all and wash? What the heck does some do with three tureens? I could see one. Snorts is a hoarder of the highest degree. Fanny takes a close second.
Yes, they do.
Here is the warning posted about the plates in California. I posted them a couple of pages ago in this feed.

Watching Fanny's latest tour of the chapel, finally grokked Isabelle's and Stephanie's obsession with the chapel, where rightly each would burst into flames spontaneously, if and when justice rolls down like water.
The old French aristocracy, I mean the olde one, back to the Amaurys, are militant Catholics. It's how Louis IX created the French nation -- crusades and he actually bought the crown of thorns in Constantinople and brought it home, to prove he was not only king of France but of Christendom. You could call him a Christian nationalist.
I've posted this here before, the best short thing I've ever read about the French. Du Plessix Gray's multi-generational family, including her warrior caste aristocratic conservative Catholic WWII hero granduncle, proud anti-Nazi and member of the Resistance, is quite the magnificent and more than slightly Franquist yet truly altruistic French aristo in retirement. So interesting. But the whole deal is Catholicism and la France profonde, with little discernible Christianity.

I think so! Being an annoying ass wipe like Snorty also contributes to hair loss. He is doomed.

WOW! Great call Jules! It does lead to hair loss! Lead paint on the wood at the Dump, the windows, doors, porcelain plates, tureens, bowls, teacups, plates, crystal, etc.

Lead poisoning is a serious issue with far-reaching consequences, and its surprising effects on hair continue to puzzle researchers. Here are some intriguing revelations about this tangled connection:

1. Hair Loss: Excessive lead exposure has been linked to hair loss in both children and adults. The heavy metal disrupts the normal hair growth cycle, causing hair follicles to become weak and brittle. As a result, individuals with lead poisoning may experience significant hair thinning or even complete baldness.

2. Change in Hair Color: Lead poisoning can also alter the natural color of hair. In some cases, it may cause hair to darken or turn gray prematurely. This unexpected effect is believed to be caused by lead’s interference with the production of melanin
, the pigment responsible for hair color.

How do adults get lead poisoning?
Adults can get lead poisoning by being exposed to lead through eating food and drinking water contaminated with lead. They may eat from dishes or drink from cups contaminated with lead. If you work in an environment with lead paint or are working on a home remodel, you could be exposed to lead dust.



3. The Silent Culprit: Delving Into the Detrimental Link Between Lead Poisoning and Hair Loss
The detrimental effects of lead poisoning on human health are well-documented, but one silent culprit that often goes unnoticed is its link to hair loss. Lead, a toxic heavy metal found in various industries and consumer products, can gradually accumulate in the body, causing widespread damage. While lead poisoning primarily affects organs such as the brain, kidneys, and liver, its impact on hair health is often overshadowed. However, recent studies have shed light on this lesser-known consequence, revealing a concerning connection between lead exposure and hair loss.
The relationship between lead poisoning and hair loss is complex and multifaceted. Here are some key factors to consider:
  • Disruption of hair follicles: Lead interferes with the normal functioning of hair follicles, inhibiting hair growth and leading to thinning or even balding in some cases.
  • Reduced blood circulation to the scalp: Lead toxicity can constrict blood vessels, affecting the oxygen and nutrient supply to the scalp. This can weaken hair follicles and contribute to hair loss.
  • Increased oxidative stress: Lead exposure induces oxidative stress throughout the body, including the scalp. This oxidative stress can damage hair follicles, hindering their ability to produce healthy hair strands.
It is important to note that hair loss due to lead poisoning might not be immediate, as it can take years of exposure for noticeable effects to manifest. Therefore, addressing lead contamination and minimizing exposure to this toxic metal is crucial for preserving hair health and overall well-being.

2. Stolen Tresses: How Lead Poisoning Ravages Hair, Sowing Seeds of Devastation
When it comes to lead poisoning, the detrimental effects on health are well-documented. However, one area often overlooked is its devastating impact on our precious locks. Hair, our crowning glory, serves as a silent witness to the havoc wreaked by lead poisoning. As the toxic heavy metal infiltrates our bodies, it begins its treacherous assault on our tresses, leaving behind a trail of destruction that not only affects our appearance but also our well-being.

The insidious nature of lead poisoning takes a toll on hair health in various ways. Here’s a glimpse into the grim consequences:

  • Thinning Mane: Lead poisoning disrupts the hair growth cycle, leading to hair loss and thinning. Strands become weak, brittle, and prone to breakage, resulting in an overall lackluster and diminished hair volume.
  • Faded Brilliance: The vibrant shades that once adorned our locks become dull and lackluster under the influence of lead. Hair loses its natural luster, leaving behind a faded and lifeless appearance.
  • Tangled Strands: Lead-laden hair tends to become unmanageable, prone to tangling and knotting. The metal impairs the natural moisture balance, leaving strands dry and prone to frizz, further exacerbating hair difficulties.
As we delve deeper into the realm of lead poisoning and its tangled link with hair deterioration, it becomes evident that the consequences extend far beyond mere aesthetics. The next time you witness a damaged mane, don’t dismiss it as a simple case of neglect. Instead, ponder the hidden tale it tells, a tale of lead’s silent assault on our cherished tresses.

3. The Silent Culprit: Delving Into the Detrimental Link Between Lead Poisoning and Hair Loss

4. Beyond the Surface: Understanding the Profound Impact of Lead Poisoning on Hair Follicles
The impact of lead poisoning on hair follicles goes far beyond what meets the eye. Lead, a highly toxic heavy metal, has been linked to numerous detrimental effects on human health, and hair follicles are no exception. Here are some key insights into the profound ways in which lead poisoning affects hair follicles:

1. Inhibition of hair growth: Lead can disrupt the normal cycle of hair growth, leading to stunted or delayed hair growth. This occurs due to the interference of lead with the signaling pathways responsible for hair follicle development and regeneration.

2. Increased hair shedding: Sustained exposure to lead can trigger excessive hair shedding or even hair loss, a condition known as telogen effluvium. The toxic effects of lead disrupt the normal hair cycle, causing more hairs to enter the shedding phase prematurely.

3. Alteration in hair pigment: Lead poisoning can result in changes to the color and texture of hair. Individuals with lead toxicity may notice the appearance of gray or discolored hair at a younger age. In addition, the hair may become brittle, dry, or lack its natural shine due to the damaging effects of lead on hair follicles.

4. Impaired follicle regeneration: Prolonged exposure to lead inhibits the regenerative capacity of hair follicles. Lead disrupts the complex molecular mechanisms responsible for follicle development, resulting in a reduced ability of hair follicles to regenerate and produce new hair.

5. Unmasking the Connection: Shedding Light on the Devastating Effects of Lead Poisoning on Hair
Lead poisoning is a silent threat that has far-reaching consequences, even extending to our luscious locks. The devastating effects of lead poisoning on hair are often overlooked, but they are just as significant as the more commonly known health issues associated with this toxic metal. Understanding the intricate connection between lead poisoning and hair can help us unmask the hidden dangers and take appropriate measures to protect our well-being.

One of the most alarming effects of lead poisoning on hair is hair loss. Lead exposure can disrupt the normal growth cycle of hair follicles, leading to weakened and brittle strands that eventually fall out. This can result in noticeable hair thinning or even bald patches. Additionally, lead can also affect the quality and texture of the hair, causing dryness, frizz, and a lackluster appearance.


  • Brittle and weak strands that easily break
  • Noticeably thinning hair or bald patches
  • Dry, dull, and frizzy hair
To make matters worse, lead can also penetrate the scalp, leading to scalp issues such as irritation, inflammation, and dandruff. It can disrupt the delicate balance of the scalp’s natural oils, causing excessive dryness or oiliness. These scalp issues can further exacerbate hair problems, creating a vicious cycle of damage that is difficult to break.

I heard from Ruby that Snorty wants to buy the tea cup ( circa 1910) that this man may put up for auction.This could singlehandedly wipe out the rest of his hair. Since Snorts came to the Dump and started his porcelain obsession, his hair has been falling out more and more.Phi Phi may have to choose between his porcelain or his ponytail!

Watched the flog!

🎼The Porche is back and it ain't goin' nowhere
Hey la de la.🎶 to the tune of "My boyfriends back" by The Angels.

Because, as previously stated, they own that fucker. Despicable fanny time to come clean. Don't take your patreons and fans for stupid. They're beginning to rumble.

Armoires worktop. Good job 👍 It's only taken 20 bleeping years and many cooks/chefs! Marie, do not put cookbooks on it. Clutter. By all means use the back lip for you condiments but do not clutter your worktop with shite. Despicable fanny DO NOT put back the ratso piss soaked meridian. Take it out to the walled garden, put in on the bonfire, douce it with petrol and strike a match. Now get those bleeping cupboard doors sanded and painted and get that petri dish of a kitchen table sanded, waxed and sealed. You have chosen to have deaf ears to the kitchen "issues". It will be your downfall.

The chapel. The chapel is a building site. It maybe on her property but it's still a building site with professional workers (currently mysteriously absent). Is she permitted to climb the scaffolding in the absence of the workers? Was she wearing a hard hat? Was she wearing toe capped boots? I think the answer is evident! If she had had an accident there would have been no cover. No insurance payout. Nada. Stupid bleeping witch.

The chapel, continued...
At 6.39 the Oxford grad puts the words "fairly patchily" into the sentence. I'm no eng.lit. grad but that does not sound correct! Or comfortable to say. But what do I know.
At 6.20 she uses is "pretty spectacularly" and has a strange sound affliction on the end of the word, spectacularly. In a similar vein to her pronunciation of little. Duchess, I think you're accent is slipping.

Permasmile viv. Is there a more hideously, fawning person out there? 🤢🤮. People with class DO NOT name drop. My Roxy Music dress. Roxy Music are my favourite band. I was wearing this dress when I met Bryan Ferry. Did you keep the knickers you threw at the stage? Or did some unfortunate sweeper have to do the cleanup once the auditorium was empty.

I have nothing to add that hasn't already been said about:
The London trip
The facial work
The shopping
bla-de-bla-de-bla.
The grass is growing around the builders stuff. Yes they are MIA.

And btw it seems as if someone has drained the lake for soup. Who wants that amount of oxalic acid as a starter?
FRk waffling on about what is in season , where the ingredients came from under which tree she found the garlic , utterly ridiculous.

Last year the menu for the Patron day looked mean. You do not need an extra cook Marie - you need a decent budget.
Perhaps Stephanie should have asked or applied for a grant or funding at the London charity event to pay for help and food for her Dump Patreon extravaganza.

Can you hear Ratso huffing and making noises while frantically struggling to get away from Philip, as Philip roughly manhandles the smallest dog in the world? It makes you wonder what happened to Ratso off camera immediately prior to Philip opening the door to the kitchen and prancing in with a struggling, unhappy, stressed out dog. I really hate Snorts.

Ratso is a source of tension between the throuple, since Marie has become attached to the dog, I wonder if it upsets her to see the gruesome, twosome roughly mistreat the animal? it is obvious that the dog does not like spending time with abusive Philip. I hate to see someone bully an animal, especially when a man dominates an animal that is less than 6 pounds.

Snorts is a horrible human. That poor dog.
