The Chateau Diaries #81 Octo-Oedipus: being straight to ingratiate

[elizabethrex]

So when Nicholas refers to we who is he referring to?

He and his editor, who also seems to be new at this but they are muddling along fine.

This is where it all started for me… I learnt about The CD here as a recommendation, long b4 the gift grab ect. It used to be a mixture of hot gossip and love for chateaux… but Vicki !

I used to be on that page it was hilarious. The name of it is so misleading and it attracts Superfans. Vicki is not someone that is cut out to be a admin of a page, so she is always arguing with people. The thing is though, she sees through the crap like tattle does. At one point when the lawyer was staying at Lalande, there were some posts about Lalande ans Stephanie that came to a head and then all of a sudden there was a pinned rule about no more talk about Lalande at all. Some of us thought that Stephanie or that lawyer had some kind of chat about slander.

From what I've heard Snorts wanted to do the live together and suggested to create a vignette for it where they would sit hand in hand to answer questions from the patrons about their enduring relationship. He thought the porcelain cabinet diaster they created would be fitting, but he even offered his room as the perfect crime scene for it. His ideas were not only voted away by Potts and Larkin, who's opinions still outweigh her baby, but obviously by his loving girlfriend bride to be. By forcing him back into his formal role of cameraman and chat moderator, so they all agreed, the message would be unmistakably strong: nothing has changed and all will stay the same.

Oh wow. He is something else. He is really aiming high, isn't he. At the very least, the strategy of the three directors was much better.

Could you imagine what that would have looked like if prince Philip's idea had won? He is really trying to dominate the space. I wonder if that might just cement his downfall

I'm sorry but that's just bs. A voyeur is someone who secretly watches innocent people who have no clue they are being observed. Hardly the case here.

Ok ok. Voyeur wasn't the right word. But the pain expressed through the word "deceipt" over and over is really over the top.
It's usually reserved for when your best friend has been hooking up with your boyfriend behind your back.

What’s wrong with Michael Pathetic’s voice in his latest vlog… he sounds different?

If anybody watches Garden Answer on YT, then you know they've got things down to a T. And even though they share a lot, they have got boundaries and rightly so. AND they are hard workers. AND they answer viewers' questions and give regular and interesting updates in their weekly recaps. AND they churn out 6 videos a week. They've got help but are not shy about it.

I love Laura and Aaron. I tend to just watch videos of theirs to do with the gardening or floral advice I am looking for but it is still nice to see her kids every now and then, I have also been known to watch her go antique shopping with her mother though.

Where I came from it was always Guy Fawkes Night or Plot Night. Guy Fawkes was a Yorkshire man so we remember his name.

That's my older sisters birthday so it made it easy to remember growing up. We called it Guy Fawkes night and bonfire night. Hope you had a good effigy burning and a happy Diwali as well!

No, "the hated" in French is "les haïs" or "les détestés". And "odeur" means smell/scent/odor. "odeuse" doesn't exist.

I need to revise my French!

@TheTaxInspector Just wondering if SJ is suffering from strabismus ... her eyes look very strange in the flog with the silly song ... could explain why she's attracted to Hedgehog Boy ...
Having had several eye muscle surgeries myself, I doubt she has a significant problem. Thyroid eye disease could be an issue. Fortunately the bulging eyes aren't one of the thyroid disease factors that plague me.

Anyone got a link to this please? I can’t remember it

I can't believe I'm saying this but I kind of agree with you on the employment thing. Now hold your horses, as someone tried to teach me the other day, this does not mean I think what she's doing is okay, but the outrage over the employment thing is a bit over the top. When it comes to most of the people she says she now employs, her loverboy included, there is no actual employment, no contract, no job description, no formal arrangement other than that she pays them for services provided. This is one of the bigger issues her accountants are extremely unhappy about, because the more she talks on camera about employing people, the more difficult it becomes for them to legally process these expenses. It's a huge blind spot in SJ's idea of a strategy by not portraying her snorting lover as such, but instead choosing to publicly "employ" him as her lapdog: it will cost her either way eventually.

So she should be talking about it as people she is contracting for services instead? If I am understanding correctly...

Harlequin romance? Pardon my ignorance, but explain! I am nearly 50 years old you know.

Female soft porn like Hustler but “softer” around the edges.

Remember when Selmar showed up on their radar? (B4 the CD ban). Someone mentioned that he was a porn star in a previous life. Well… I can’t quite recall, but I think this when I found Tattle. Don't know if I love or hate that poster now! BTW- I never found anything to prove any inkling of this but it has stayed in the back of my mind.

Yes! It must have been the same person that commented to me once. I’m not sure if it was on that group or another ( there are/were so many, but I think it was a different one ). Someone commented to ME that he was a porn star! The proclaimation was hilarious as whatever I had asked or stated was nowhere near the topic of hearing that he was a porn star. I know that whatever group it was, Selmar was in it, so I just responded back “interesting, perhaps he can elaborate “. I didn’t even think of taking a screenshot of the encounter, I wasn’t sure if they were some crazy person, a crazed fan or someone that had figured out his bg. It was a good laugh,
some fb groups are crazy! I have asked on here as I thought if anywhere tattle would know but it was a dead end.

All 3 sets of spectacles lost whilst driving for this Vimeo test transmission

So did the trick work for Stephanie... ? Is vimeo not shareable?

It’s a reference to a sweet beloved childrens show called the friendly giant. He would start the show by arranging chairs in a room for everyone to sit and always included one by the fire to curl up in. Rather anticlimactic to the shit show drama currently devolving!

this actually looks like lala
