Yes - Phiphi is a pillock!

Pillock - This is another delightful description of someone who's painfully stupid. The word has 16th century Scandinavian origins, and comes from the old English word pillicock, meaning penis.
One of my favourite words

The story of the woman who gave her the chocolate pot .. it looks like SSB modelled herself on this woman growing up

or Sometimes I do it myself, or sometimes I get others to do it for me but make it look like I'm helping, I never thought I'd say it but I would much rather watch him at La Lande than suffer Beanie Hat Boy and his irritating grunts and sniggering and talking utter cobblers....many years ago our local butcher used to have a pigs head in his window with an apple shoved in its mouth... I don't think it would be allowed today, it frightened the life out of my sister when she was small but maybe a suggestion to shut him up... (obviously I don't mean decapitate him, just the placement of the apple)


Only if it had pockets 🥶
I'll have to investigate this pocket lark as I was watching a shopping vlog and the vlogger was trying on a jacket, put her hands in the pockets and went into raptures of ecstasy cos it had fleece lined pockets!!!!
Am currently sat here in my Winnie the Pooh fleece lined sweatshirt which is paaarrrfffeecct! and I look cute 😄

Speaking of Selmar and Tatyana...

The Revelation vlog still gets comments... mostly very negative. Around 100 more comments since yesterday (after they had deleted around 200 comments).

It seems that they have stopped reading and deleting them... for now.

They should take this video down IMO.

Sample (and that's not the worse) :

Tatyana get out of this relationship before you loose everything you worked for. This is a very bad deal. Think with your brain not your P

I'm going to put up a video and beg everyone, during a global pandemic, to financially support me! I'd like to know how many of the people leaving encouraging comments have actually put their hands in their pockets! This was just embarrassing!

I mean I'd like to be a princess in a fairy tale castle! Who wouldn't, but I certainly couldn't ask someone to fund my fantasy.

I found the Patreon vlog a bit sad really, she doesn’t actually have anyone in her life to share and collaborate with, Nic and Potty seem absolutely useless and do not seem to contribute anything towards the business and Snorty doesn’t have any life experience and has ever been a home owner so she’s turned to Davy the landscaper to talk about how to improve the catering facilities, she’s just overwhelmed. I think the running around screeching and manic laughter is a coping mechanism. I do think Isabelle was the worker in the family and I’m sure she said that Derek would have preferred not to work and just be an artist. Stephanie just needs to put her hand into her YouTube pocket and pay a French speaking Project Manager because she clearly is rubbish at it. Hey is Christmas I’m feeling charitable 🎄
...I saw the patron vlog a bit differently...she is nervous. liars need props...to distract their audience as well as themselves...so that they can have a few beats...in order to think of the ‘correct’ answer. she used her potato making...to divert from what she was telling them.
...she is attempting to cover her ass...but it’s all sounding so illogical..and fake...it’s unraveling...and she knows it...

...she’s overwhelmed because she is conning them. also...bits of truth always come out with liars. she revealed that she has been stashing money...because of her being unsure about ‘taxes’ owed. and yet...the entire time she has been saying different projects...ie, the lake...were advancing. she has been stashing money...not for renovations...but, for her future...for when this all falls apart. she admitted as such...her conscience is giving her away...she looks down ... and her eyes were tense...she’s manic...because it is getting harder to keep the lies going. she’s afraid she can only keep the patrons trust for so long...she saw what happened to tats and Selmar...she must think they will catch on to her grift next...

...the bigger the money...the bigger the lies...the harder it will be for her to go back to the old pre-covid...pre-patron $...she is desperate...and she is definitely stashing that cash...

...wonder how the accountants audit went...perhaps that’s why the reveal about the banking of the patron $...they had to sign off on their year end...it’s on her mind...she obviously had to come clean with them...when the projects and the out go didn’t line up...

@MojoDublin (am sure you've seen this by now - from patreon vlog)

@Ann G. My way of asking was direct :unsure: Thank you for answering though.

I am interested in the diversity of TCD's audience, patrons and tattlers.
Fair play to ya
I stopped reading 📖

The chat 💬 is around various hypotheses

1- they recon SSB used a couple of grand to widen the lower base as the top two slots 🎰 have cleared out 15-20%

2- there are genuine concerns that SSB belives this to be a rolling funding possibly 5 years or more .
Despite Covid there was ample time to get works done & completed .
Funding was listed for certain distinct projects .. lake .. rendering .. fabric of the building .
Nothing achieved in 2 years !!!

It’s a very moot point

3- the additional apartments
- were supposed to be self funded .
It now appears they are not .
There is a current estimate of 100-140 k per apartment . That is the entire budget for year one of funding .

4- the repeated delays and failure to complete the detailed drawings for the Marie of her village - is seen as a deliberate ploy- And failure to get the permits to start .
Major doubt on any realisation of the works .
Simply not interested in a 5 year plan .

5- it direct response to How SSB has maintained her love of travel 🧳
they feel - it’s an imposition on them … they’d like to see her achieve a watertight usable 365/24-7 property

How she furnished it once completed - but not at their expense

In relation to snort snort they could care less whom she throws her leg over …. As long as their not paying for it as well .

Over reaching and underperforming
Genuinely - it was Covid … it was a buzz 📱
Their Moving on now ….

She’s blown it with the smoke n mirrors 🪞
Buying patrons and subscribers - they can see it

There’s zero interaction with the community- and the social media retorts … vile ..

There is no yellow brick road for this Edna Blyton actress …
( best line ever 😂)

Am I missing out on this KFC lark?
Personally, KFC makes me feel so sick, I can't eat it ... and if you knew me, I love my food and fast food, but it does not agree with me at all! So I don't think you're missing out!

This patreon video had a different feel about it. It felt like she was trying too hard to be folksy or mom in the kitchen cooking while chatting with the patrons .... very staged, very contrived ....

My dearest M, I have unfortunately been hacked. Email accounts and passwords went for a Burton. So I now have a third moniker after last night's email also played up.

I did consider calling in the good Father O Malley, to say a few prayers for me. His reply was, sadly he didn't cover electronic devices and I should use my time wisely to contemplate my profligate ways.

I have tried a few times to reenter the VIP lounge, sadly I am no longer there, only in faded spirit. Mrs G has had to converse with me of an evening, which she finds disconcerting.

She does however now agree with me that the advent diaries are truly dire and Flip is not in her words 'worth a sh*g!' She thinks he brings the tone of the place down. I nearly had a fit laughing as it couldn't go any lower.

Winter truly came upon me! If @Jeeves would kindly give thread 90 to someone else that would be much appreciated.

In admiration of Dick and Angel's transformation and works on their Chateau over the summer. Rendering and roof job. Hmm- business plan in action? How amazing that a Chateau owner has one of those.

Amaury doing a good job of organising the work shop- Selmar has been ousted.

Talking of Selmar, what a complete and utter kn*b. He and Tatyana are total grifters, they have a vague business plan promising vague things (other than dressing up and grinding against Selmar...*puke*) reminds me of the other traction couple- whose vlog I haven't yet watched. If I were Stephanie, I would cut them loose off her vlog, her association with them is already lower than her untanked cellars. If anyone is stupid enough to buy tickets for their gif and grind show, I hope they can action the claw back clause in their credit card.



How did the phrase 'Happy Advent' get coined? Dumbest thing I ever heard.


Yours as ever Q.
Well glad you arrived back 😈
Was concerned - as I would be about any tattler that disappeared 👻

Have asked the powers that be to investigate - and try restate your old account - we can but try if other VIPs can report your new account to verify it’s you MIGHT Help 😈

the moderator here are fab … fingers crossed 🤞

Please don’t be a stranger 🙏
- Christmas party time
( Covid allowed )

Glad you found a way to reach out

@Jeeves thread number 61

My favourite - Bloody Tattlers they don't rattle

Honourable mentions
1) Remember it's not how you shake your moneymaker, it's how much you come home with
2) Does Gerald really wear that much flannel every day?
3) It looks like his mum boil washed his trousers
4) I hope her patrons start to realise they are raising a cuckoo
5) I could live in a small cottage if I didn't have to host all these friends

p.s. Jeeves I feel that you should be granted the choice of a wildcard if something dear to your heart is not chosen.

I sure hope they are all around at least a bit! Did Gibson create a new account? I don't remember him having any numbers with his other account.

I still really miss @purejuice .... I think they deleted their account. :(
@Gibson went missing last weekend
Then I saw @gibson2021

Hopefully 🙏 we can get his status back - if VIPs report his current one ☝ to establish we know it’s him

Fingers crossed 🤞

As with most fast food, the quality can vary by location. I like KFC, but only go there about once a year (usually around Independence Day…for a fried chicken picnic!). In my experience, their service is really slow.

My nearest KFC was closed down due to being dirty and disgusting. It is now a Taco Bell?

Let’s not forget
She had a full season

175 k from may to October
She’s glossing over that as well

She’s banking the monies in countries unknown 😈

I'm so sorry to hear you've been hacked Gibby, tat's awful. Can't you speak to the moderators and maybe get your VIP status awarded to your new account? If not, that @Heathcliffe might achieve VIP status before you, and that would never do. Glad you're back, missed you :p

Having a holiday from my phone and social media over Christmas, as I've a lot of fruit trees to prune, my allotments to clear for spring , and close family coming for a few days while we still can. I'm getting a bit addicted to checking social media. I will probably watch the diaries and check in here to see what's happening. Have a lovely Christmas all who celebrate it. ❤
