[Viva La Loca]

BTW, what does Nic's Marie do for a living? I remember SJ saying in a vlog that Marie was a high powered business woman or some such.

I do quite like old Potty’s snaps of Amsterdam....mind you, I’ve often been told all my taste is in my mouth.....so possibly not the best judge.

I think SJ is the sort of girl who would have terrorised me at school.

 

[66carola]

Dont cry dear, I am a PERSON-person, who enjoys the company of cats as well as dogs Don't leave Schöne Frauen We have a very friendly old black lab, but as I grew up I have had (or my family did rather) dogs, cats, bunnies, AND parakeets. My much loved dog is too old to exercise with, he is lazy...if I want to jog I must go without him...he is a spoilt beast.

What? It gets even worse... You jog?

Wise words from you as usual. But its so interesting this earlier observation was from you because I just read your above critique which was accurate but sharp .

Was that merely stating she physically looked like a 12 year old then, or did you also detect genuine vulnerability ? I’ve become confused now as to who she really is. Maybe she feels the same about herself ...

I don’t think I can decipher what’s what any more without you to translate

I understand what you mean but nothing is black and white, they are complex people in their simplicity or simple people in their complexity
either way, they seem to contradict themselves and contradict your view of them therefore complex, they also come with complex structures around them, there are many shades of them, but once you recognize the pattern it becomes very simple, you can wait a bit to confirm, if it follows the pattern (some show the true colours sooner than others) and then nothing will surprise you, you just keep confirming and once other people notice the same behaviors and you can establish their credentials you know that you have arrived

to answer your question, yes genuine vulnerability but at the end aren't we all little vulnerable children who pretend to be adults?
some worth protecting some not, dont worry she will not suffer more that she made other people suffer already, so if you want life to be fair for a minute, let it take its course

I read it and stil don't know what she is doing but I am impressed

 

[Princess and the Pea]

You are a very wise woman. I have enough responsibility at work and at home, when I play it is not for keeps.. it is an addition, a light entertainment, mutual desire, but it does have to have an end. I do get to use my potential dear ...always on top. I don't believe in finding all needs met by one person, for me it is not natural, but I would still say I am a good husband. Oh, I shall regret having said this please move on, nothing to see here folks!

I knew a bloke who thought that. In his head. Good provider, always came home at night. His wife eventually found him out. 25 years of marriage down the pan. Last I heard he was living in rented accommodation, surrounded by dirty washing & living on takeway pizza whilst she kept the house.

 

[sandro37]

Third person speak (I bow to @sandro37’s better definition but how about either extreme pretension or dissociative identity disorder (ie distancing oneself from oneself) ?

there are several DD disorders, most of them do not remember when they dissociate but some do, but SJ is non of those, or you meant the guy from the video? DD often occurs after trauma mostly childhood trauma (molesting, witnessing murder ..)

Sounds good to me who wants a house once kids are gone?

 

[Viva La Loca]

I personally shuddered when Dan referred to his ‘front room’!

So what CLASS are YOU? A wickedly funny new book has the answer

A book by social anthropologist Kate Fox called Watching The English has been updated 10 years since it was published, which digs deeper into our national foibles.

I have to make a fake linkedin profile so I can seeee what my dear subjects are up to

pottys city still are better but I know what it is, his compasition is off, he wants to put too much in the picture and sometimes too many lights everywhere or too little exposure (but I saw worse from ppl who call themselves professional photographers so..)

Perhaps he is Stephanie's ex-husband.

Oh dear oh dear, I have a horrible feeling that our dear SSB may be about to get mixed up with either a Very Unsuitable Person, or a Perfect Partner, depending on how you feel about her.

I need the help of my fellow tattle sleuths to either confirm or disprove my findings. This is what I have found, all in the public records on the internet.

1. From her FB page: Jillian Scott - lives in Upper Hutt, New Zealand.

2. From comments she has made on youtube: she is/was an accountant.

3. From linked.in for someone called Jillian Scott

Do you think I have joined the dots correctly or have I been led astray. Can anyone help me as I do not want to cause problems for anyone (even if Jill Scott annoys the heck out of me!), but if I am right then I think Stephanie should know.

 

[HarpyCamper]

I'm going nuts. I have watched the vlogs of TCD up until just before Christmas 2020 and prior to that most of 2020 but I've never hear of Edmund Fokker or SJ possibly leaving or any of this stuff you are all discussing. I've not seen anything of Sj crying poverty - am I bedazzled by the Fortuny and the Christmas baubles? I'm not into Toile de Jour china etc. Please give me a pointer to the applicable dates/months I should check out - Ditto re Hani, Brenda etc as I can't seem to identify them.

Hello! I landed here (the chateau chats) at the start of the 7th thread. I read all the way back to the first one. That’s going to take an eternity at this point so I don’t necessarily recommend it. I suggest going to the beginning of this thread as some kind soul—sorry guys/gals, I cannot remember who—usually puts up a recap and guide to the abbreviations.

[/QUOTE]
do I understand it correctly that you go to "relax" somewhere where someone else would assume responsibility for you? I can imagine that easily

 

[Viva La Loca]

Wow. Have to respectfully disagree there (see Superfans, too easy). Did you enjoy Anthon Berg liqueurs at age 6 also?

I loved chocolate oranges as a child and fry's orange cream chocolate bars

 

[Clara Burnett]

@Clara Burnett I wonder if your Dutch friends have noticed more traffic on their insta since you've been posting here ?

Not sure what you are implying with this question and I haven't asked them.

Dude. Gross.

 

[sandro37]

It is natural to be empathetic, except if you are someone who suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder like her.

I would maintain that they have that they have empathy, they know what tips you off, they just chose to not care (simply put)
again like everything it is a spectrum at the end there is NPD

as one said you cannot make this up

Marie-Caroline leads LAM LHA’s European activities, focusing on transport security regulatory strategy and border security matters. Prior to joining LAM LHA, Marie-Caroline was Assistant Director with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in Brussels where she developed IATA’s position on EU legislation impacting the aviation sector, advocated on IATA member airlines’ behalf, and developed IATA security and travel facilitation strategies in Europe

was she their advisor on how to cross the borders during the pandemic? I am disappointed if proven true
