This is so true! He vlogs every day AND works. It does make the others look bad. He’s not following the same grifting formula of MPK or SJ (which is maximum fund collection with minimal work or effort expended). He’d better watch his back!

Read the room Dan - me thinks maybe too much time with SJ and her previous exposing jibes at Trotter.
Guess we’re seeing 2 different shows

do you have to like man buns !!
or men carrying bags !!!
Most of European men are doing both with little or no notice been taken

think it’s hair envy going on
Got to admit Ann Marie has a massive head of hair in great nick …

I know that man buns are NOT very common in Uk or Ireland in general
Tends to be older men having a mid life crisis …
ripe for slagging …

I also enjoy Julian's vlogs. His voice is soothing, I watch before bed. Another channel I absolutely love is Curiosity Inc. Alex and his family are just lovely and hard working. I really don't care what all these bloggers do with their money they just need to stop begging and hinting. By all means have a patreon account but don't say you are using it for this and that. Let people pay for the content you offer. That's it! Once they start talking money I switch off.

Just a consideration, if the place/people were so vile why did the guardians stay for 3 years?

Well I'm split between London and farming country in East Anglia and I can tell you the Man bun is well and truly ALIVE in a multi generational way too! I'm unsure where Dan hails from in the UK. No Dan doesn't need to like man buns, but there is a machismo overtone running through his critique of Amaury and I'm not sure why he's even saying it - it's an antiquated way of thinking. This machismo idea that all signs of femininity are to be rooted out and exposed and therefore ripe for mockery is a bit uncomfortable viewing. Blimey, I didn't think I that was particularly woke....

Then again maybe it is jealousy? Maybe it's the start of a great homosexual love affair, watch out Annalise looks like Dan has eyes for tugging on a pocket size stallion's mane instead of yours....

But to become a patron you must as a rite of passage give her advice how to hang laundry first.

Oh, oh...

Sorry! It was from a discussion on Dan’s vlog…whether a man bun AND man bag were TOO much. I don’t have either one!

Thanks.

Yes, she has an Irish passeport because it was "easier and quicker " (her words) to get one in her case than à French passeport (that she got 2 or 3 months after her Irish one).

AND she has her British passport .
3 passports? Is that possible? I thought, although I might be wrong, that only dual citizenship was possible ...

passive aggressive - can someone explain to me what on earth this means, in plain UK English. Because I found this on google and think is a heap of crap.

Major signs of passive-aggressive behavior include:
  • Always arriving late.
  • Sulking.
  • Sullenness.
  • Procrastination.
  • Intentional inefficiency.
  • Stubbornness.
  • “Forgetting” to do something.
  • Avoiding people when they're upset with them.

I'm just over here wondering what in the world can be done to heat up that HMN . Close off rooms and get fireplaces working again? Wood burners? I don't know how they can stand it in winter. It just boggles the mind.
1. Get your local yellow pages
2. Find a plumber
3. Call the plumber the same day
4. Make an appointment at the earliest possible time (at this point we skip to call at least 3 - 5 plumbers to get cost estimates to be able to compare. Though it is a huge project and hence could save you 10000s €- but remember Pareto! )
5. Hire the plumber and do what he suggests
6. Don't disturb him at work and don't film him
7. Show up when he shows up and show up again another 3 times during the day and again when he leaves to discuss the proceedings.
8. Show up yourself and do not send a volunteer - and get dressed before
9. Pay your bills immediately since you have the money now

Can anyone remember if Natti and Anne Marie "meeting" was shown in a vlog? I remember a post showing she was friendly with Mason.
One thing the hookup with Amaury disabuses me of is the sus that Nati -- along with Dana -- persisted at Lalande to snag a rich Patreon husband. Whatever he is, Amaury is not a rich Patreon. Preying on the Lalande entourage may be a separate problem. I was hoping he'd go outside the bubble and date sane local French girls.

Mpk demonstrated his ability to communicate in French when he and Isais (sp?) went to the neighbors on the golf cart to get a bottle of milk.

I'm with you on this. They don't use the fireplaces if they are not in the room because SJ is affraid the place will burn down. Also she mentioned somewhere it didnt have a much priority because the cold didnt get to her that much and she 'manage' while dragging hot water bottles...

It appears as if this is by choice (by Fanny of course). During one CDV, a brave soul, upon commenting that the inside temp was 11 degrees C (!!), was snappily answered that the glorious shatto is maintained purposefully, at that bone chilling comfort level, to PROTECT the building and artworks it contains !! That she could turn up the heat, the geothermal IS effective BUT it would be detrimental. (Do you think we should notify the Louvre that they are doing it all wrong?) It was before the seeping wall episode, during depths of winter, people huddled and bundled, waterbottles tied asunder. Perhaps even a GAG. BUT, unfortunately, in order to keep up with these threads, hurtling along, I cant devote time to research. .

I got pinged twice and had to do the 10 day quarantine twice. Very annoying . The second time I'd only gone to M&S for socks. I got fed up of it and turned off the app. No one else I knew was using it anyway.

Glad to hear you are no longer a sheep and have woken up and joined the real world
