Why does Birkenbrokebot always say "aha" mid-sentence? Is he a big fan of Morten Harket and the gang?

Here's a few sentences for context:

"Grateful another trip tomorrow couldn't carry it all aha kids and shopping do not mix"

"Am I being greedy aha"

A coffee themed Katy Perry cover: Shitting Themselves.

Are they crazy?
Living life through Facebook lives
Sharing all their bitter strife
Cuts like a knife
Delusional, they live in a bubble, bubble
Delusional, they cannot see the trouble, trouble

No awareness
In their fake and fucked up world
Where nothing will materialise
Except the lies
Delusional, they live in a bubble, bubble
Delusional, they cannot see the trouble, trouble

So good
Gotta put their webcams on
And ramble on

Listen up when they share their truth
Lie, lie, lie, totally uncouth
When they share on their Facebook live
What is going on with their weightloss coffee
Yeah, come with me
A new company
It's three times better than this
Better than this, better than this!

Are they stupid
When Trading Standards knock their door
They still keep going back for more
Won't see the light
Delusional, they live in a bubble, bubble
Delusional, they cannot see the trouble, trouble

So good
Gotta put their webcams on
And ramble on

Watch the bots as they lose control
Score, score, score, an own goal
When they join an opportunity
Flouting regulations with impunity
Or so they thought
Trading Standards had the last word
They all are shitting themselves
Shitting themselves, shitting themselves!

You seen the email screenshot in that piece? I think that was what Salonbot and all her little goblins were talking about when they said that modelbot had done something massively against both compliance and UK law. Those weight loss claims are pretty flaming blatant!

BSintolerant · 05/08/2017 21:16

@sean1984 I don't know about TV producers lurking on these threads but there's definitely a screenwriter mining this rich seam of pure tragi-comedic gold. Grin

Cakietea · 05/08/2017 22:36

Looks like birkenheadbot is living the dream, not having to shop on a budget any more, with a pic of lots of Lidls products, bless Smile

Ladiva1971 · 05/08/2017 22:42

Yeah I just got home from work (Lidls!) and I was going to say the same thing!!!!

acatcalledjohn · 06/08/2017 00:20

Salonbot is apparently taking legal action against certain individuals for 'defamination of character'.

Does that mean people have claimed that she eats so many potatoes she keeps the potato growing industry going? Hmm

Ladiva1971 · 06/08/2017 00:30

I was reading Salonbots post and it vanished?? Hmm

acatcalledjohn · 06/08/2017 00:42

Bots really like a good old flounce, don't they? Disappear? Not without a huge song and dance.

Ladiva1971 · 06/08/2017 00:49

I just wish I could stay up all night watching this shizz but as I work for Stokeflatbrokebots fav supermarket I has to catch some Zees

acatcalledjohn · 06/08/2017 01:04

Can't leave the important business man waiting when he does his shopping tomorrow...

Supersoaryflappypigeon · 06/08/2017 06:23

I would love it if Salon tried to take legal action. If you're reading, consider what drawing even more attention to your dodgy dealings will do to your reputation. Think about how many ex-Huns will come out of the word work and speak out against you.

ArbunneHun · 06/08/2017 09:07

She will probably send out a few letters in the hope of intimidating people. There is NO WAY she would take it further though. She will not want her 'business' put under any kind of legal scrutiny.

Moose23IsHungry · 06/08/2017 09:12

@lasangefortea aha I know what you mean aha it drives me nuts aha

BSintolerant · 06/08/2017 09:17

Has salonbot's defamination (ha!) post disappeared because someone has pointed out a list of valid defences to defamation? She'd end up looking very foolish if she went down that road - not that she'd get very far. Her reputation is already in tatters for being associated with dodgy schemes which have been forcibly closed down or wound up.

Let's hope her downline finally see these schemes for what they are and have the guts to take back control over their lives by never being involved with bullshit like this again. Life's too short to be wasted on mlm schemes -all of which promise a lot but rarely deliver.

SSDGM · 06/08/2017 10:16

Well the whole of her profile is now locked down for commenting completely. I think this has been a mortal wound to her shoddy "empire".

ArbunneHun · 06/08/2017 11:35

You know it's bad when other MLMs are coming out against you.

Usually they adopt an 'us against the world' policy, where they stand up for one another against criticism.

Must be very, very bad.

SSDGM · 06/08/2017 12:02

Can someone more clever than wot I am check if Vida Divina is being sold the same way as Valentus was? Surely they have to be next?

darceybussell · 06/08/2017 15:27

I don't really know what the story is with this valentus skinny coffee crap because I have no idea how we regulate food and drink products in this country. Presumably it hasn't been certified as safe for consumption or something like that?

Anyway, it doesn't really matter, the point I came on here to make was that if it is not legal to sell this stuff in the U.K., I don't see how 'directing people to your website' suddenly magically makes it all legal again. If I'm selling crack but only via my website I'm still selling fucking crack aren't I?!

fitgirl26 · 06/08/2017 19:58

It's such a shame that this should happen to Salonbot's "business" just before she is joined in scammy matrimony with her Onecoin Bot. Oh dear never mind.

Supersoaryflappypigeon · 06/08/2017 21:25

fitgirl yes how sad.

Poor salon-I hope she invested her £10-12k a month carefully

BSintolerant · 07/08/2017 00:58

Has Trading Standards intervened because someone on one of the FB mlm bullshit pages said that the miracle coffee was, in actual fact, normal coffee bought from Costco before being repackaged? Or is there more to it than that?

darceybussell Grin I wouldn't want to buy crack online, it might be dodgy. I'd rather buy it from a crackbot at the school gates or the WI.
