It is so hard to keep up around here. Sometimes I catch them & sometimes I miss them. I hope the recent birthday hell hounds had a special day. Here are a couple throwbacks to years gone by.

@JackSpratt

Unfortunately, there are so many tartlets facing health issues. I guess that’s life. I’m sorry for what you are all dealing with, each in your different ways. I’m glad that Stephanie has brought us all together from around the world, it’s the best thing she’s ever done. Please keep fighting and remember laughter is the best medicine, along with sweet, sweet Miller Lite.

 

[Le Baiseur]

Can anyone do a photoshop of poorman's consort with no hair. I just get the feeling that we've been wrong all along and he actually looks better with various hair arrangements, than bald.

 

[C'est moi]

Thank you @ComtesseRose for the new thread and congrats to @Lady Avonlea for naming.

Enjoy your concert @ComtesseRose full report on the tattler desk in the morning please.

I realise now that I was remiss with my thanks on the last thread, so thank you to all. You keep me amused and saine.

I find that I can't watch Despicable fanny and Thrush, or in fact any of the dump crew, for more than a couple of seconds at a time. So all you tattlers, your input is excellent. I thank each and everyone of you for taking one for the team.

@JackSpratt her fans may not keep shelling out much longer. Not because the penny's dropped but because the old fools have dropped dead! She will see them in their graves before she gives up the grift, so callous is she.

Good to hear you are having a break in the rain and better weather is arriving for you. We are definitely moving into summer. Last couple of days tapping on 30° which is my perfect summer temperature. Helps stop all the aches and pains!

As happenstance would have it I was in Pezenas last week. No Jarvis' or Richmonds were spotted as I believe all had left the country or were out of the country at that point. All the overpriced shit shops, sorry brocunts, were open. They will certainly be a magnet for the gruesome twosome. We looked for a restaurant to eat but they were all busy with very pale skinned brits in pastel coloured clothing so we gave it a swerve and headed back to Béziers for a quick lunch on the allées Paul Riquet. Not Le Cristal. I was recently informed that not only was this establishment popular with brits and the local belligerent population but also with all the winos as the bar will continue serving them when other bars won't. Now who did we see there recently who appears to drink a lot, always with a glass in hand... hmm.

I actually had the most amazing week. I saw the new orthopaedic surgeon and he has said that a new knee prosthesis is an absolute must. The interior is completely fucked and no amount of cortisone or hyaluronic acid will give any relief. But only half knee as the exterior side is normal and intact. I could have jumped up and kissed him. I'm booked in for early July!

Yesterday, I saw the new rhumatalogue. OMG, what a star. He concurred with the orthopaedic surgeon that the interior of the knee is completely fucked and that while injections may bring some relief it's not the solution. So everything is moving forward in the right direction. I fully intend walking another stretch of the Puglian aqueduct and swimming in the Ionian sea again later on this year. My goals.

So my dear @JackSpratt and all other tattlers with health issues keep pushing forward and insist upon 2nd, 3rd or even 4th opinions. The two so-called "specialists" I saw previously were just quacks, in no way concerned for the health of their patient. Just getting the cash in. They were happy to condemn me to a life of invalidity, in 5 years time when they wanted to operate I would be 68 by which time no doubt the rest of my mobility would have gone along with my mental health.

So I wish to all you hags, hellhounds, witches, bitches and trolls the good fortune that I have recently received. Today is my birthday and as my people have to be at work during the day I have you guys to keep me company Geminis rock

Tattle on.

At least 15 years ago, it may be more when the go fund me Craze started, I immediately went out and purchased life insurance on my two children. My husband thought it was morbid, but I did not want to be that person that had a hat out begging if my children needed a funeral now go fund me Patreon et are a way of life and I do not buy into it!!

Just recently someone we know passed away at a very young age I think 42 and his friends or family set up a GoFundMe for his funeral and a fundraiser at a local bar and I looked at it and I thought about it and I thought oh maybe I’ll donate something and then I see his wife on the book of face bragging about her arm tattoo and I thought to myself self if I had $500 to buy an arm tattoo, I would probably put that towards my husband‘s funeral instead of asking strangers to bury my husband. Maybe I’m old maybe I’m old fashion but if you can afford pleasures in life , vacation, alcohol, cigarettes , wallpaper you don’t really need me or anyone else to fund your lifestyle. I get it little children aren’t responsible for what their parents do in my town. All the schools have free breakfast and lunch and I see the parents of the children at the little market down from my restaurant buying cases of beer, lottery tickets and cigarettes and we still collect money for shoes for kidsbecause parents are so flipping irresponsible they don’t take care of their children so, Of course, I’ll donate to shoes for kids. My current charities I support if anyone wants a cute tshirt spreadspencerssparkle.com ok rant over.

Fanny wants a Pool complex gawd

 

[Lady Avonlea]

Gosh, I'm honoured - thank you for the title. ComtesseRose special thanks to you for our new thread and keeping our little gang of 15 hags & hellhounds rolling along.

That CD vlog was especially odd & boring. It's raining heavily, not raining, raining heavily, not raining - let's have a BBQ on a very rainy day. More timey-wimey.

- does anyone recognize the ugly blue Mummy outfit Fanny is wearing? It looks like a 1980's Emaus bargain bin purchase)
- Grunt & his daughter have returned from their road trip from the south. Fanny made it look like Grunt was doing another BBQ, but I believe that dinner was from the BBQ the previous week! That giant salad FRK was making was served the previous week when Tante & Once were there. It was also a very sunny evening in the background, but it had been a very rainy day. Also, why didn't Fanny show everyone sitting down together for dinner - just her own plate of food at an empty table?
- Potty crawled back from Monaco to the shitoo, and into Fanny's bed, in middle of the night and he was more smug than ever
- 9 minutes of Potty and Fanny vomiting superlatives about the crayon-box chapel (I skipped forward when Fanny compared the chapel to Daddy's paintings)
- Jump Monkey Jump - Tattle comments that Snorty has no friends and voila Anna & Tim suddenly appear! Snorty is entertaining his 'friends' like he's a 1950's housewife. I felt major Mummy vibes when Fanny entered the winter salon to say hello. I thought the next words out of Fanny's mouth were going to be, ''I'll call your mother's and ask if you can both stay for dinner''.
- What does Snorty have in common to talk about with his 20-something friends?

• would you like to see my collection of tablecloths?
• let me show you my newest tureen?
• there is this 70-year-old woman named Wendy who makes me the cutest felt animals and I hide them all around the shitoo
• my porcelain are like my family, so I stay up all night scouring online auctions to collect all the family members
• Fanny Mummy buys all my clothes

 

[Lady Avonlea]

PORSCHE ALERT!!!!!

- Fanny left the porsche at the Limoges Airport and says many people having been asking about the Porsche
- says that Andrew still owns it, but he has offered to sell it to her for €26,000, interest free, payable over payable over 1-2 years
- Fanny:

• feels safe in the Porsche
• can edit in the Porsche while Snorty drives without feeling sick
• would prefer a convertible
• says Mummy thinks she should buy, but will wait until Mummy & Percy drive in it
• says Snorty doesn't mind either way - BS
• asks patrons what the poor little princess should do

Joyeux anniversaire @C’est moi
I hope you have had a wonderful day down south

Have been even quieter than usual on here as just out of hospital having had the bottom half of my colon removed (yes sadly a big C diagnosis a few weeks ago) But hopefully on the road to recovery now

Didn’t have the energy or headspace to read about the despicable grifter for last couple of weeks …. have just read through the last thread & surprise surprise I see nothing at all has changed.
The obsessive spending on utter tasteless useless tat continues.
Fanny launches the idea of another big plan that will never happen & the egregious lies to grab peoples money as much as she can continues.
Karma is sure as hell taking its time …….

"Good to see you again... and you." Did she forget their names already?

I believe they are Friend #1 & Friend #2.

 

[M&MsMom]

Personal note. We had a pretty scary evening last night here in Maryland. At about 7:15 pm our I-phones went off with an alarm from the National Weather Service about a very large tornado that did significant damage in a county that borders ours and had caused significant damage there, and it was headed our way. We are accustomed to getting Tornado Watches, but this was a Tornado Warning with an ominous note that is rare: it said to take this one seriously, get out of vehicles, go immediately to a safe area (they never say this). We rounded up the cats, their carriers and a bag of their food and headed to our family room, which is in our basement, where we turned on the TV and watched the weather coverage. There was not only this one large tornado headed our way, but also 4 more along the eastern part of our state, heading towards Delaware. It's quite unusual to have 5 tornadoes here at the same time - it's what happens in the mid-western states, but rarely here. Along with the tornadoes, up in the northern counties, there was significant flooding, with some areas getting 4 inches of rain!

The Tornado Warning that was issued for my area expired around 8:45 pm, but it was touch and go there for about 1/2 an hour. According to the weather folks that were on air, it was headed directly over us! It was a very surreal experience waiting for impact from a tornado that, thankfully, never came! No trees damaged in our neighborhood, but when I went online afterwards, I saw someone from our village had posted video of it going across their development (I don't know them personally, but they apparently live in a third floor condo) and someone else had posted the aftermath, with trees down and covering the road.

I just got a text - it was a confirmed tornado one street over from ours! I don't think I've ever been so thankful - both for our own personal situation and for the fact that no one was killed or seriously hurt in the areas the tornado touched down.

Hilarious that her carpenter cousin is nowhere near the carpentry project going on! This just proves what we’ve all been saying for at least 5 threads. I had been voting on annalease to take over from Nati, but Pavlina? Possibly someone isn’t needed during the winter so she will save money by not employing anyone for the winter. And then Bam here comes Annalease.

 

[Cleo's Asp]

Bingo, billybudd. Remember, Stephanie taunting him after the accident with phrases like, “ this is killing you, isn’t it?” “ isn’t it just killing you not to be able to complete…….” Remember the crap she’s kept saying in front of her cousin “ it’s a wonderful day to be alive , it’s a wonderful day to be alive at the dump “……Stephanie should never have allocated all of the supervision work to be performed at her dump to her Carpenter cousin. She is one of the owners of the dump, and the buck stops with her. She should’ve met with the contractors, understood when and where they were going to position the equipment, and should have revealed the presence of the improperly reinforced area where she installed the septic tank. She failed to do so And one man lost his life, and another man was presumably seriously injured. I have a feeling that Stephanie has been trying to blame her cousin for the death and the injury. Any blame resides squarely upon her greedy man shoulders.

Stephanie has been playing fast and loose with safety regulations at the dump for decades. Volunteering or working at the dump is like participating in a game of Russian roulette. Will the dump come crashing down on you or will you be seriously injured by the negligence of the dump owners, or will you survive to see another day and dodge the bullet, and another worker will then be killed the next day.

Stephanie could care less than a man was killed in another man was seriously injured at the dump due to her negligence. She was just pissed that she was not able to fill the segment for château de Iowa, and that the investigation has caused her stress.. Poor little greedy selfish negligent 50 year old orphan princess.

The investigation is likely why she finally started to get her slaves to take down the 20 year old Westy curtains, and finally clean behind the stove for the first time and decades.

It looks like the manicure color may match her gaudy mentos engagement ring. Perhaps she’s planning a storyline, where she is going to pretend to be engaged again and she will wear the ring.

I feel sorry for Amaury. I know he's far from perfect but when he did work, despite taking ages, he did it well and no doubt saved her a lot of money. She was over the moon when he arrived as she knew he would be cheaper than others and she knew she could rely on him to sort out any disasters. He has a pleasant personality, despite some inappropriate humour but I think that was deliberate due to his frustration at being used in Fanny's vlogs. Several guests pointed out that he was the only resident who helped them when they needed something. She really used him as a dogs-body and made him sort out all sorts of stuff which she and the other owners had ignored and while they carried on cavorting when he did all the hard work. She used him as clickbait and filmed him all the time. He then realised what his cuz was really like and he was thoroughly sick of having the camera stuck in his face. He is sensitive and was very upset after that accident; she may have tried to make it look as if it was his fault when most of what happens there is down to her own negligence. He is also horrified by the stupidity and ignorance of PJ pretending to manage the work and telling people what to do. Amaury is frustrated by the delays in doing the heating, (it would never even have been started unless he had intervened) and the structural work delays, and he sees the waste of money and the unnecessary trash that they buy. He must really hate Fanny but he has been in a difficult position with his parents being so supporting of her. I hope he gets out as soon as possible.

Fanny has had more botox and in that cream outfit resembled Stamford Blatch's Grandmother from Sex and the City except the Granny didn't have two veins forming a pulsating V on her forehead. Fanny doesn't understand that her skin is older and that she needs to soften the look avoid powder based makeups and go for creams. Her rosacea is very bad. She needs to hydrate her skin and use primer and maybe Clinque dewy tinted moisturiser and cream blusher. Stop with the hard black line across the top of her eyelid- all her boozing means the line is as wobbly and clunky as her timelines. Her lipstick is too dark and highlights the misshapen filler.

Why do all these Chateau owners decorate in such bad taste, tacky suits of armour, naff bars that look like some pub, garish red teamed with a terracotta coloured marble fireplace all so heavy and harsh just wrong. At least it was clean but a pastiche and Madame Tassaud's version of a Chateau. The guy did at least have some decent paintings.

Fanny didn't; go to the party because it wasn't about her. She puts videos out late all the time when she is travelling or shagging Potts, but doesn't have the good grace to stay at her friends wedding- how churlish, rude, spiteful and uncaring. Sarah hardly looked like the happy bride but as the speech was mainly about friends they have made who could blame her-he is is an utter tool.

The back hallway is such an utter disgrace and putting the door off centre is so odd.

This morning's Patreon vlog:

• The scammer flies to London to welcome her mother and Percy;
• The vapid shopaholic goes shopping;
• The legend-in-her-own-mind embarrasses herself by acting like a 3 year old;
• The con woman tries manipulating viewers re purchasing the Porsche;
• The straight-for-pay fake fiance is not gay, noooooooo what makes us think that?

Creepy Fay and her teeff stayed the night and then got to see all of Trixie's collection the next day to get inspiration for her overpriced wares. WTAF, buying china leaves and veg now?????

Well diddums didn't like being told to roll his sleeves up to get the Miami Vice look, he probably wasn't even born when that was out. He ain't no Don Johnson that's a definate. The hair system's a bit off kilter.

Sara, Steve congratulations but what the hell are you two wearing and Sarah ...........smile

Fanny is well jell of Candice and Ed's chateau, they've got some $$$$$$ knocks her's into a cocked hat, how clean, well decorated and in good nick.

The most obvious statement of the vlog from Fanny when descibing the soon to be Ed's office space piled with stuff 'well every Chateau has rooms like that waiting for projects to be started' .............never a truer word spoken by you Fanny as you are the master of that one for sure. PMSL

Even better Candice and Ed have a Chapel that is unique to the Perigord region, my day has just got even better

Shut the hair system up he brings nothing of any worth to the table.

She is one odd odd fish, leaving the wedding reception party to come back to edit. Or was it because it meant interacting with people and not being the centre of attention.

Cranky AF!

 

[graciemckitten]

Stephanie is really playing the thrifty poverty card, isn’t she, trying to detract from the close to $100,000 she spent since the beginning of this year on clothing, auctions, shopping, Snorty, garden shows, charity parties, etc. and getting busted on owning the Porsche AND claiming sole ownership of an apartment in the south of France. Recall, this is the same woman who told lies about getting a free soup toureen as well as an expensive pair of free Bally shoes, and also lied about getting discounts on clothing at the Chelsea flower show in pretending that she is an influencer. Harrods and other high-end department stores are not giving her a discount on clothing. Small high end British clothiers are not giving her a discount on clothing. She never reveals the designer of her clothing in any of her videos or any of her descriptions. Her target audience could not or would not afford or where the majority of what she models. She is not an influencer. She is a bad influence on people trying to develop good taste in clothing. Stephanie Jarvis lies every day, all day. No exceptions.

She is now back to her poverty script,e.g., pretended to take public transportation, shopping at discount stores, not filming her luxury food buys and luxury shopping, and hauling out the once totality blind but miraculously cured Mummy and TB Percy ( who traveled for months with infectious TB) who she will claim to profusely love, petting her mother on the head, and pretending her mother is mentally unstable, confused, weak, or compromised. Look forward to watching Mummy and Percy having to act like they love Ratso.Ratso can easily shred the paper, thin skin on Percy. Mummy will squeeze out a few tears in the chapel, talking about her mother, and how much she would’ve loved to see the chapel restored to a Disney world like garishness.

Interesting that no one has ever seen the Ford fiesta. Is it still waiting for its elusive part?Why didn’t she get the car fixed and use it as an extra car at the dump?of right, because she was lying about the car breaking down.

 

[JackSpratt]

Thank you @ComtesseRose for the new thread and @Lady Avonlea for the title, so true.

Last nights homage to the chapel

The South African Gurner is back guessing with Ruthy Writer?

Where as I appreciate the hard work the restorers have put in and so they should, they're being paid enough. It's quite sad to think she allowed the place to get into that state of disrepair (if she loves it as much as she makes out). Potts commenting what a transformation not seeing the statues covered in pigeon poo, surely that's something they could have done ages ago cleaned them a bit.

I fast forwarded the moment dear ole daddy was mentioned, she has a real problem.

Will she lavish the same care and attention on the main house once the chapel is done? That remains to be seen but I'm doubtful. I can't see her mental fans digging into their pockets for ever more, there will come a point when the penny will finally drop.

Snorts has drafted in some 'friends' just to prove he really isn't a Billy No Mates. Weren't they a bundle of joy.

Paying guests, just have a gander at just how well they all eat when you lot are not there.

'what a marvelous day to be alive' the immortal phrase.

Now were so lucky to have a pair of TITs

Tit in a Toupee - Snorts
Tit in a Trance - Potts the 50% Hugh Grunt why does he have to act like a total tosser all the time.

The sun is out here, fingers crossed this is it, no more sodding rain.

 

[KitKat_theNewRat]

Not a fan of the chapel either, same reason as you. I can't see anything else starting after that, she'll need at least another two holidays.

I'm also not really interested in the chapel renovations and usually just fastforward through that. Mostly because I just don't see the point. It won't be open to the public and won't be used except for a few performative vlogs afterwards. I mentioned this before but I truly think Steph lost sight for the price tag and what is reasonable. She paid about 800'000 euros for the whole dump and it's surrounding lands (which tbf is an okay price) but now she has spent almost the same amount just to renovate one little building while the rest is in a worse state than ever before. And the more money she puts into the folly-chapel the less likely it will be that she'll ever manage to fix the rest.

The chapel is looking beautiful. I wish you were marrying a real man like Michael Potts.

I always thought Phillip was gay

Where is your engagement ring?
