The Chateau Diaries #62 Sorry, I can't right now, I'm fixing the Aga!

[LaFrancaise123]

What I find weird about this is his whole family moved in with the wedded? couple. His parents and brother and sister. Where are her parents and siblings? Must be private hard working people, not grifters.

Her family are all wealthy enough that they don’t need to concern themselves with silly things. They’re heirs to some sort of dairy empire.

Edit: yeast. The Lesaffre Company mentioned a couple of pages back is her family’s.

Isn't he a British citizen? He wouldn't have had to give that up to get French residency. Too bad on him that he didn't, though as lots of his family and friends are there. He would have had to jump through a few hoops to get certification for work in France, though. I wonder if he got turned down or just didn't bother trying. He was quick to get licensed for his drone....which he doesn't use anymore.

You don't have to give up your citizenship to get the French residency ! You can be bi-national - and even tri and more.

Chris has some serious bottom energy

As a "bottom" I approve of this post.

Could it be a new Chateau tactic to derail and confuse?

I get the sense, that many new members are as frustrated as we are. The influx would eventually occur, as people no longer can voice their opinion however fair and constructive it may be...

Wonder if he edited it? What else could explain it disappearing for a few hours...?

Billy is spending Gwen's inheritance ... he married money and doesn't need to think about what he spends.

I may be wrong but, I don’t believe they are married. Which makes Gwenie a pretty smart cookie. She invested in a chateau then Michael came to live with them to help with renovations followed by the whole famdamily. I think they are all there and are supposed to be “paying” their way by working at renovating, cleaning, planting flowers etc. Bonus now with the grand babies there is help with them also. Happy to be corrected if I’m wrong. (The grifting puts actual money in their pockets, supposed to anyway.)

One more note…I would welcome an open accounting of the funds. Again, the numbers could be totally bogus…but it would at least give the appearance of transparency. And, for those of us who are good with interpreting numbers, we could get a better sense of what’s going on. I just don’t understand how patrons can send money to someone without really knowing what’s happening with their funds?

there is also a change in Fan Flash behaviour...at first she wanted patreons because she wanted to restore the dump....then she started to talk about renovations....and now she mentions she thanks the patreons for sending her money because she makes videos....she slowly changes her goals...untill most patreons dont even know why they started to fund that crazy grifter...and then she sells the dump ....she clearly is so jealous of other chateauxowners who have a more chateauxlike place...with a grand staircase...panelling and all sorts of decoration...she clearly wants a nineteen century chateau..or a palace in Venice...she doesnt see herself living in the middle of nowhere when she is getting old.....when she knows her following is following her on another route...she gets rid of that farmhouse...no doubt about that..In the beginning she had her ex boyfriends on the leash with her stories...they could pay for her lifestyle...and now she has her patreons....no sign of her ex boyfriends of friends..this summer....If she was so fond of the crap place she would stay at home and renovate as soon as possible...but no...she escapes as fast and as much as she can....thats very telling to me..

Exactly, you built it. We came for that reason. Also for the banter and open discussion of all possibilities. I think Tomasz may have been derailed by YT - if anyone complained. YT is not interested in 'trolls' on other sites. He did rabbit on a bit from what I watched, which was enough.

Loose marbles.


Let’s not forget the expensive painting and the copper pot collection.

Yes buying crap...and no funds to fix the downstairs kitchen and the leaking terras above...its all keeping up appearances..

I agree with you 100%! She uses everyone around her. No real friends and family around. And where’s mummy?? She flew the coup too. I think this whole grift is why Isabelly was grumpy most of the time before she left. SJ can’t control her so she’s ok with her MIA. I think she’s already preparing for her next grifting adventure. The Christy’s vlog was very insightful. She kept drooling over that private room for special auction participants. “One day” she will be in there. Something to dream about. Of course, it will be with her faithful cults money. Yuk. Yet, they follow.

 

[Le Comte de Monte Cristo]

I really wonder if she is part of the Lesaffre yeast empire… worth a few billions. MP mentioned she was part of this family when grocery shopping.

If so ....then she would not have to go to the bank for a loan i guess...to buy Begmania..

The older I get, the more I abhor having my picture taken!!! I absolutely hate it. My kids and grandkids all know it so they leave me be.

I have the same ....hate to see myself on pictures or even worse on moving screen...its nice getting older..i am comfortable with it..but i more liked my looks when i was 30...i met a young guy while i was somewhere workrelated a while ago and he said...wow your so handsome...i said what.....you for sure need to get your eyes checked... and no.. he didnt wanted to sell me anything...i dont even look in a store window...my ones nice looking body has turned into a bag of patatoes...

Wondering if he waited too late to apply and got rejected?

Also.... I think only a percentage of Patreon funds go to the association (used to avoid paying taxes on the money). Probably just 50%

I guess Yentas are the new Karens? Or are Karens the new Yentas? I see this as a written form of Gogglebox if anyone is familiar with that TV show.

Shoot me if you will but I watched the latest Christies vlog and really enjoyed being able to on the tour too, well minus the theatrics. The contrived entrance at Christie’s just made me laugh. So much easier and less awkward to leave that out than pretend to have run up to them like that.

As a relatively new Yentee here I’m not sure if there’s any rule against armchair diagnosing (and whatever the past discussion has been) but I can’t get past the histrionic narcissism and arrested development someone near age 12.

 

[Hemerocallis]

So Christie's paid for her holiday
Andrew R? Empenada Rengifo, is that you? Looking for some tips for your next free vacaciones?

Or his "fiancé".

 

[Le Comte de Monte Cristo]

Ok but surely the hangers on will pay for their own hotel rooms if they stay overnight? If I were invited to a party with a €400 ticket and adding the cost of a hotel....well, if I couldn't afford it I'd beg off. Paris is only 2 hours from the chateau. Not necessary for hotel rooms to be booked at all, really.

"Vegan/Vegetarian" faux leather products are made from polymers. Polymers are a byproduct of the oil industry. I'd rather wear leather boots as the hides from cattle would be otherwise sent to landfill.

who is gonna stay sobre to drive them home...you also have to get your hired costumes back the other day.

I know exactly why he did it. He wanted a bit of notoriety on here.
If everyone ignores him he will go away. Unctuous little toad.
Mrs G said she always felt like she needed a wash after watching him. He is so sweaty and greasy to look at. I bet he stunk the place out at Lalande.

Michael. Can you delete the horrible message below? Mental illness that leads people to make such comments is a tragic thing.

I agree with Paul Swanson, mental illness is a tragic thing. Look what Biffy just answered when someone asked about Pathetic's whereabouts. Who does he think he can still fool by now ???

I don't think he knows how to edit. Unless he took the bogie picking bit out.

New name for Stephanie = Stuff It In Me. More is more does not work. The lack of taste. The cult tent wallpaper and the birds.

It’s been a whirlwind of creating stunningly beautiful vignettes with our Collector sale with the mega talented Stephanie Jarvis, specialist interviews and peek-a-boo toile. I am obsessed with this Pierre Frey wallpaper. Pictures don’t do it justice- I could stare at it for hours. This might be my favorite vignette

New opening for the CD vlog: (just a suggestion)

Welcome to my 17th century shitoo. Be sure not to pay any attention to the broken down state of affairs while you visit. My daddy has passed so now I need all of you to make my delusions of grandeur come true. Please do not ask any questions or have any thoughts that do not line up with my plans. I’m going to tease you about my personal relationships but, if you plan to stick around, never comment about them. All are welcome (if you follow the rules of engagement). We are all about Life, love, laughter and grifting!

Doesn't Natalia abstain from alcohol in the even/ odd months ?

Having given it some thought, I believe that the 14-16 lunatics that Captain Pugwash refers to are the 14-16 people (conservative estimate ) who arrive here daily for deprogramming as the scales fall from their eyes and reality dawns. Thankfully with the support of Tattlers, most go on to make a full recovery. Sadly, an extremely small percentage are unable to adapt to a world outside the Chateau-verse and retreat to the confinement and close supervision of the Chateau guards.
Our heart goes out to the those poor damaged souls. We are here for you when you are brave enough to make another bid for freedom.

Ah, good old Captain Pugwash and his crew member Master Bates.
I hope we have helped his counting skills. Daily lessons can be found on here on how not to con the public.

 

[OneMoonbeam]

Oh ffs, it's like they chose the most gaudy, tasteless tat and threw it together to create a vignette so ugly that the auction sales for those pieces will hit an all time low. The wallpaper for that vignette was chosen with completely different pieces in mind I'm sure.
