I cannot stop laughing at these pictures. Philip Janssen doesn’t own a single pair of flattering trousers!

The icing on the cake is the cinched waist, squeezed in by a belt that’s too small.

Nasty lying Fanny implying that she has love in her heart for all the fish harvested for food in the neighbourhood. What a load of bollocks. When she deliberately drained her lake because she would not spend money to comply with EU water regs Clara said that there was no concern at all for the fish in it, they were just left to flounder and die. Now that is forgotten and hidden, the story has been rewritten, she is just the poor innocent precious princess cruelly decieved by the nasty water police who bullied her mercilessly and made her empty the lake. Thus playing on the sympathy of her followers for their money to restore it. We see you Fanny you duplicitous bitch.

I notice high pants was not around to wave the bread making gurner off. Although unfortunately we will be treated to yet more loaves in a month’s time when the gurner returns. He really is a prize wanker in how he gloats and shows off his crusty loaf in every episode, it’s as if no one else has ever created such a work of wonder before.

Now for my rant and it probably makes me as pretentious as Fanny. I really, really detest people who do not use cutlery correctly. Those folks who hold their knife like a pen or hold their fork the way Dan was doing when cutting his pizza. It is all so wrong, to me table manners matter. I positively despise watching people using cutlery in the wrong way to the point where I have to leave for fear of behaving violently towards them.

I don’t disagree that Stephanie is a pro at muddying the waters, but the Queen’s Retreat was being operated as more than just a B&B, so she (Mrs. Queen’s Retreat) had to take the full exam to meet the licensing regs. The same for the Puy Lentils (their retreats have the option to arrange accommodation else as overspill if the number of room required exceed the 5 room max as a B&B). The “petite licence”, designed specifically for B&B owners, is an abbreviated version (7 hours online) of the full licence.

The interesting part of offering table d’hote is that it only relates to B&B guests staying in the designated B&B rooms. If you have 5 B&B bedrooms and two three gites (which would include self-contained, self-catering apartments), it’s not permissible to provide a table d’hote meal to the gite people.

Three screen shots from the French government site that explain B&B requirements table d’hote.

I wonder how FRK feels when she is suddenly overlooked in favour of Potty's bread.

Regarding their use of cutlery, it's my pet hate too! I despise poor table manners. If we are eating out, badly handled cutlery, people chewing with open mouths, reaching over other people's plates (especially to take food off their plate) and slurping drinks really distracts me from my own meal. Inevitably, it's often those putting on a display of airs and graces that show themselves up.

Stephanie's content is cyclical. Magnetic north is always the lake. Le Lac Perdu. The lake (a pond but let's just call it a lake, simply to mollify Mlle Jarvis) she pulled the plug on because she got the a fit of the frights from the authorities (it was something driven by EU regs). She never sought advice - the Maire, a lawyer, any professional specialising in these matters -from anyone who could explain the options. There were probably grants available.

Returning the "lake" was super important. Until it wasn't. Thousands, probably, spent on surveys, reports, plans and inspections. Apparently, funds were always set aside for the Lake Project. Of course those funds have been eroded, if not bled dry. Anyone with a scintilla of sense would know that reinstating the lake, making changes that meet official requirements, is a mahoosive project. It always was a mahoosive project. Mahoosive in scale and in money. Money that SJ clearly thinks grows on the trees of le fôret de Lalande or via the blind stupidity of others, who think they're helping restore something important.

Rewind to thread #1 in November 2020, a Donegal (Tattle version of a Limerick). I have to confess that I've always been rather pleased at this...humour me for repeating!!

Stephanie has much less bounce in her mien
Since discovering the lake is not in her lien
Bound by EU directives
And water detectives
No torrents will flow, nothing, rien.

They will have fun for sure Saucy !

Most of his mates are turning 18 and that means they can drink legally but we have some "Big Guy" relatives so they will be bouncers !

I mean ..... you would NEVER ask Snort to be 'at the door" !!!

When the kids see his High Pants he would be laughed then punched out the door!

When I first went to Lalande in 2021 was to see if the place was just a filming studio.. it was. The illusion was broken pretty quickly that life style was all fake. Yet I did meet and still know people that stayed that Halloween of 2021 I have never been a Patreon..I don't give my money to rich people. I was still following in 2022 Michael and Billy they felt different then the Lalande crowd more down to earth.

So when DD, from the Pethericks fallout, wrote the above I wish more people would see it. So when she went to liarlande she could see it was all smoke and mirrors and just rich people playing Brideshead Revisited. She could see the whole setup was fake and a scam. I felt as she said she was taken in by the Pethericks due to her grief but she really nailed the grifters at the farmhouse scenario.

Same, I had brunch with a friend and her grandchildren the other day and the oldest is 10 and I was horrified by her use of cutlery, I feel if she’s not corrected soon it could be too late. Having worked all my life in business i have been to many functions, dinners etc and I always thanked my family for correct table manners, I could not imagine bring in those settings and using my utensils like weapons.

I just loved the way Fanny put all that moss and soil on that woodworm kitchen table Lochy !!!

Even if you sterilized that table after she played with all her moss with its soil - there are so many tiny tiny holes they can fall into and fester ......

The thing that gets me, over and over again, when we go through the horrible evil nasty French Authorities MADE me do it (they didn't) tale of woe.

As a French speaker what part did she fail to understand or what was it that suddenly turned her mute, that she was unable to ask anyone (if she didn't understand technical speak). She seems to be the French speaker/comprehender of the language as and when it suits.

Why didn't she ask her Mother, Aunt, Uncles or anyone who spoke the language to explain it?

This absolving herself of taking responsibility for things or beings in her care has run it's course and it's about time some of these idiots woke up to it.

It's all so pathetic
