Oh look, MPK who's been at the chateau for 5 minutes has done more useful work than Snorts since his arrival.

So the mirror piece is not original & wormy so burn it to get warm! Annmarie was asked a question & Snorty answered. Shut up wanker you know nothing! You broke the brand new heater by jamming too big wood pieces into it because you are too weak or stupid to use an axe to make them fit. Now Petheric has to fix the stove because you burn it too hot. Do you only google old forks & grinder but not fire & safety of Potty, Baghead & SJ’s chateau. That’s right STILL not your chateau!

MP talking about art and history, engaging company.. He fixed a damaged log burner. Meanwhile fairy Snorts has found some old indecipherable wallpaper behind a skirting board and gets praise from Mummy for laying a table. Scintillating...He is so dull and it is highllighted by having MP there.

I know we are all strangers in real life, but I was really anxious that I would loose you all. I live in a very small bubble (of my own choice). Especially in Winter and its nice to come here to visit, talk, discuss and otherwise be social. Looking forward to the VIP this weekend.... I would miss you all, should we suddenly disappear. Who.else can I vent about Fanny and all her sheniganians?

You're about 12 hours behind that post I made! Of course I know things have been resolved, but last night, as several of us can attest to, the note that was there this morning explaining that they decided to not shut the site down was not there. THAT is the newest development! Many pages have been deleted from that original post I made until this morning!

Many of the Tattlers will be unaware of the heroic acts last night by few of you. We experienced a couple of harrowing hours last night when Tattle was sinking like the Titanic. It's all been deleted unfortunately. A few fast acting and clever Tattlers created safety nets for us, saving the Wiki and finding new meeting places. I went to bed thinking Tattle was gone for good. So pleased to see it lives on to fight another day.

Now, there are days when I know I'm not going to laugh, only to be proven wrong. Said instance happened this morning in the latest episode of Fanny Does Roma. My resistance to a chuckle went out the window when old thunder thighs said, "Philips favorite sculptor". This knob doesn't know his ass from his elbow and to think that he would be capable of holding a conversation on the merits of Italian renaissance sculptors is delusional.

PLEASE keep Ollie there with you guys at LaLande for as long as possible. He looks a different person in this video. Healthier and SMILING! Being with his friends there, those who truly care about him, has made a world of difference

@ sorry but she ( stephanie) does nothing for me. She is an expect in cultivating a YouTube channel that supports her lifestyle. As far as Ollie is concerned I wish only the best for him and hope he is reunited with his family very soon.

@supremlyfoxylass And yet here you are watching and commenting. I've just seen more of your snippy comments, all good for the algorithm

Thank you ComtesseRose for the new thread and ....................thank goodness we are still all together at Tattle !!

Big Kiss ComtesseRose and have a good day at work !

I've seen enough of this for a while now in the comments section thanks to @graciemckitten, with all the "Reyne and Mireille"... and now that "Sheilagh" ...

Projection in Psychology
"Projection in psychology is a defense mechanism where individuals attribute their own unacceptable thoughts, feelings, or behaviors to someone else. This process helps them avoid dealing with their own emotions or traits that they find uncomfortable or distressing. It is often an unconscious action, meaning people may not realize they are doing it."

I think we have a "winner" with herbert here.. Oh and @supremlyfoxylass was not snippy but the reply back was from @sheilaghk6350

Thanks for the lesson, as English is not my mother tongue, I didn't know there was a difference between the noun and the verb. (Although, I should be used to that kind of thing as French is full of exception to the rules lol)

That's the UK rule, and it's the same in many other words, e.g. practice (noun), practise (verb); advice (noun), advise (verb,). In the US, I understand that "practise", for example, is used for both verb and noun. Maybe "license" is the same. Neither version should take priority; it just depends where you come from. Maybe Snorts learnt US spelling, but I can well believe that Fanny would make a mistake in British English, although she is half British, she is prone to making all sorts of mistakes in her pronunciation; spelling, and, as we well know, in general knowledge facts.

Yes, in American English, 'license' (how we spell it) is both a noun and a verb. Same with the word 'practice', which we spell with a 'c' and not an 's'.

 

[CountessPompidoo]

Thanks as always @ComtesseRose

I really enjoyed the last thread, so many witty comments from you all and we had a field day with the Ollie situ. The drama never ends at the Shitoo and then Teabag turns upLet’s see how that pans out

Meanwhile, over on IG, Galahad is getting witty too the little devil

Last week's storm Eowyn continues to wreak havoc here in Ireland. Over 200k homes and businesses still without power and this has also hit water supply where treatment facilities are without power. Many sports clubs and hotels with power have opened their doors to offer warmth, showers, charging points etc. This is local communities working together and today international support for our electricity repair crews with teams from Austria and Finland arriving along with UK teams already here.

I hope things are rectified soon. On my little Scottish Island power came back on Sunday night, the worst storm in living memory according to the old timers! The community hall and pub were a godsend here, although without phones it's difficult to communicate. Is your power back on? Can you drive to shops?

Narc that she is f4f will see this thread title as a compliment!

@T Rex
@FecilitéJ - you are getting fabulous decorating advice for free here

I am I can’t wait to implement it all. Whilst we don’t have peacocks, we can pick up seagull feathers at the local beach, so those with some flotsam and jetsam will give it a wonderful beach vibe. In fact I think it’s going to be so awesome that you all we be wanting a full color A3 sized exclusive picture book. I’m also considering some designer scarves. These won’t be commercially printer as I want to give sell you all a personal handmade heirloom. The avant- garish artist in me is going to use them as drop cloths as I repaint the walls and cabinets therefore each one will be a unique work of art. I’m still working on the logistics of how I will pack and ship these treasures but trust me this will be a very unique and suspenseful adventure for you all.

Thank you @ComtesseRose for the new thread, hope you have a good day at work

Now, I thought we were all ready (all estimates done and received) for her to turn the tap on and refill the puddle. Now she's saying these people are doing the walkabout to quote for putting it back?

Either I've just tuned out to her constant bullshit, have I missed something somewhere?

Mind you, I do worry at the intelligence level of the crazies and their capacity to retain information. Latest from the Lala FB page

Jersey Green
You have a lake? Is it there or are you building one?

no hope for this one

Wade Hudgins
Jersey Green French beauracracy made Stephanie drain the lake when she first moved in. It was tragic. She found out the the lake was old and would have been grandfathered in and she could keep it, but that was years ago so it’s been hard to re-establish it considering the costs now involved. Anyone please correct me if I am wrong.

Jacqueline Lee
Jersey Green there used to be a lake, where that brown scrubby looking area is, but the government made them drain it so they had to jump through a lot of hoops but they're finally going to be able to get it back!!

Wade, babes the stupid tart drained it herself, you've fallen for the lies. Let me correct you. As for you Jacqueline, shut up!

Maranda Kind
Hi Steph! I have been thinking about that painting that was above the mirror and fireplace. I believe it’s a sign. The painting made me feel your father is there watching over you, the fact that the subject is an artist….then I realized the woman carrying his work in the portfolio is symbolic of YOU STEPH, looking after your fathers artwork. I feel he would be overjoyed if you made greeting cards or something from prints of some of his works and the proceeds could fund yet another project. Maybe fixing the heating problems that are still going on, or funding the lake, or funding an art gallery in the space that was going to be Natti’s apartment. There you could better display your father’s artwork. Another idea I thought of is collaborating with a fabric or clothing company (like One Hundred Stars) using some of your father’s art. I know it took a lot of time and financial planning to make the dream of the chapel happen…so I know you guys have it in you to continue many renovations. I hope it’s okay I decided to put my thoughts here.

needs to seek help, after a good slap for even suggesting further grifts

Carol Weaver
Last night when watching the vlog I have to say I know it is hard work and should not say this, but never saw so much falling apart all around at the Chateau LOL Each room the fire places out and the paintings all around and then cooking and much going on all over the places and the other room with the celigns being done and it went on an one and then the " birthday" party for Molly and all of the dogs took part and Galahad got so exdcited when Cocoa got picked up, and so she stood on two legs all excited and wanted to be picked up too!!! I was having quite a night seeing this. Could not believe how it was one room afte another. One room did not think much of it ,but as we moved along, I was shocked.. LOL But then all will come together and it will be so beautiful!! As always!

we're not shocked, it's become the norm there

Carol Weaver
Cannot wait to see the lake full!! Boating and such fun again! This is really a miracle in many ways, and am so glad it all worked out that you found it could be done!! LOVE< LOVE the Chapel ,and it is a mini- Cathedral!

sending love to you all

also don't hold your breath for that one. Cathedral!

Why Michael is there get him to talk to Billy he can make you some wallpaper or maybe that is why Michael is there because he is selling wallpaper



Elaine Davies
Do you open to the public, as we are an hour away from you, we have followed you from the beginning. Would love to see it in real life.

Why?

Mary Jane Kolesar
It's strange to me that Lalande looks so perfect and yet needs TLC



Helen Williams
Such a lot of work going on which has to be finished before you reopen in the Spring. Good luck…
