The Chateau Diaries #356 “Thank you Sultana” is code for “The gift grab is alive and well. Send Fanny gifts”.

[C'est moi]

My guess is Snorts who has shown zero life skills let his Dutch license expire. Plus having no credit card in his name the rental fell to Fanny so he drove hither & yon without being on the rental contract. Since they have gotten away with all their other misdeeds without consequence, they chose to be cavalier about this as well.

Do Dutch driving licences expire? Perhaps a Dutch tattler could let us know. I don't know, but I would be surprised if they did. If they are like other European member state countries, you will be issued your licence on passing your test and it will expire when you reach a certain (elderly) age. Unless... he has speeding points, or convicted of dangerous driving, or drink driving. It could be something like speeding points, I guess, and the van rental company won't allow someone with a large amount of points to drive.

I still can't get my head around how the speeding points system works between UK and France. In UK you accrue points and once you reach the maximum, 12 points, your licence is suspended. In France you start with 12 points and then they take them away so once you get to zero your licence is suspended. In France you can do a conversion course, like driving school, to win back your points. Or wait for the charge to expire.

In my previous job in the UK they were trying to make the points transferable between the countries but the dreaded B word put paid to that.

In Ireland which is EU but different rules may apply in other countries, a car driving licence is for 10 years. The ones for heavier vehicles, truck, curtain sider, articulated, bus etc are for 5 years only with medical/eye test required for renewal.

I don't follow them, but having just watched Chateau DIY, the team at Lalacelle have done a power of work to create their formal garden.

Nope, can't watch it she's fucked me off within the first few minutes.

Suckreterre

Comod

Oh duck of the pair of you.

You with your pushed up tits.

Him with his ladies, shrunk in the wash, pilled up jumper.

Not a very good add for that company, only bought last year at Chelsea.

Don’t be unreasonable

Also Fanny’s google search seems to be giving out the wrong metal she keeps saying the BRONZE details. Surely it is brass?

 

[tatter76]

Trouble in paradise! Cuz has had it with them and let his rottweiler deal with them...and she say "NO"!!! Cuz will be gone soon enough. No money is worth being bossed around by 2 blithering idiots. He'll be as pissed off as we are at her grifting.

 

[Lochness Monster]

Stephainie is really pumping patron, obviously losing some of the higher tier. Its how she is sneekily doing it, listen to andrews gossip about his failed marriage, if you want to see what i am getting for my birthday look at Patron, or wait until August.

From what I saw of Patron she just sits in bed and chats to you like friend noting special, not even discount on the merch. 2025 maybe the year of 'going doen witch'.
P
What would pull patrons is a talk with the gay one's sexuality, or the why I bald by 28 and my hair systems the real bullshit of lots of it going down.

Big ups to Natty, Amoury sick of being packhorse for teh auction buyer and fixer upper of his shite finds. Carry it yourself leged in your own mind. Amoury is obviously had it with long nailed lazy idiot, thats the agro he loses so much time runing around after him. Same ting is happening to Chris two hours hunting for the door te designer want that in that pile over their, its orginal you know, must have it.

So is it not only tic tok tme for patron but also loser as well?

Losers face when Nattys said no. Paaahfect.
His fingernails, so gross.

Snap, sorry!

 

[Lochness Monster]

duck a doodle doo now I just have to rush off and sign up to the highest tier of patreon and all because I just cannot wait until August to see what treasures he has bought his beloved princess, and all with her own money. Yeah in my dreams. I’d rather put pins in my eyes than see them get a penny from me. They are evil, scheming thieves who have no shame in defrauding the lonely, gullible, delusional followers of their income.

And why does Fanny always pick up and drive the van back to the shittoo and then drive it back to the supermarket to return it, when the Loser always seems to do the driving for the rest of the time.

Loser does not want her driving his car…

 

[Lochness Monster]

Looked like poo, but daaarling it was served in silverware.

Just proves you can't dress up a turd.

That B&B was an assault on the senses too, kindred spirits.

This was the point I switched it off as they'd got on my wick.

The photo here is a carbon copy of the dump.random lamp, paintings on chairs, just a cacophony of nasty damaged stuff.

I hope she gets a case of the clap for her Birthday

Your top is a little low Stephanie. Do the button up, I'm sure Philip has better clothes than what he is wearing!

How long let the auction house you keep your buy there before you have to collect it? Here they want you to get it in a couple of days then you have to start paying them for storage.

I envy your ability to wait and collect your auction finds when convenient. Our auction houses require you to pick up your items within a week.

I liked when they were joking about the sliding door and Chris asked Marie "What will you be doing in there that you need to lock the door?" I was thinking "A secret rendevous...."

Please move that exquisite commode away from that doorway! Every time someone passes through, they will accidentally brush against it and harm it! It is stunning because of its simple elegance

A word of caution... maybe cover the grand piano with a plastic covering while Amaury is working in the room next door, as that fine dust gets into the minutest of places. I speak from experience and my piano with builder's dust. So enjoy what you do and your wonderful channel.

Could you stick a plastic sheet over the door to eliminate dust coming into the room? If that's at all possible

Indeed!

The auction house is Hotel des something? I looked it up and Snorts missed another trembling cup and what looks like a bust just like Paulette….

 

[Lochness Monster]

Is the chicken shed portal misfunctioning? Spewing out shithole inmates because of dodgy programmed co-ordinates! I thought Pavlina had, unceremoniously, left the building. And now she's back. Wtaf! Is the despicable witch being very timey-whimey?

Liarslande truly is the hotel California... you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave.

I think yes to the time lines. Not least because I thought we saw that sliding door fitted into the scullery a week ago?
Also that level of dust in the winter salon? Why as they have had paying guests for one weekend at least so far???

 

[graciemckitten]

Jack Spratt, you are spot on with the doppelgänger of the Loser: Olive Oyl!

 

[Lochness Monster]

So Chris had to dig his way through all that shite to get to the door Fanny or Olive Oyl wanted for thr arriere cuisine!

Lazy bastard, nothing stopping him getting it, he really is a totally useless/surplus to requirements specimen.

Ben's keeping a low profile.

So very glad you are back home and doing well too!
Someone, maybe Natty has put a sign on the cupboards in that dumping space Chris was ploughing through. I think it says something like put things back where you find them as replacements are expensive!?
How ironic.

Interesting and revealing interaction. Fanny and Snorts came off as meek little mice.

And that was probably Nutti at her most restrained. I shudder to think what she's like when she is really angry.
