thanks @leasedaudi

JackDelaney · 09/05/2019 13:20

@gotmychocolateimgood Woah. That picture.... Karen seriously, people only reacted negatively when you joined a pyramid scheme, if you started a legitimate business they'd give you their full support.

How delusional can you get seriously.

fromdownwest · 09/05/2019 13:26

Wow - the sense of entitlement is something that else. When you are surrounded by people who idolise you, when confronted with the real world, and people who don’t take your nonsense, you retort with a mean review on someone’s house.

Treating it with complete disregard and damaging it speaks volumes on the people we are dealing with.

Shame on you.

Norma27 · 09/05/2019 13:27

Why are yawn’s minions doing these 14 days of lives? They have nothing meaningful or interesting to say at all.
So bizarrre! Can you imagine proper business people doing this?

acatcalledjohn · 09/05/2019 13:42

But Castle has a video on her FB cooing over how lovely the house is!

Law of reaction deletion in three, two, one...

What a scummy thing to do, trashing someone's place, disregarding the listing about the one bedroom out of bounds, and then leaving a bad review.

They really are lying, nasty, horrible people.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/05/2019 13:44

@Norma27 - it seems to be a tactic to string bots along. Set them targets to complete meaningless tasks over a period of time. It gets them concentrating on that, giving them less time to think about the fact that no one is interested in buying their gloop or joining their downline.

Yawn has given them a distraction while she isn't there personally to direct their activities. It also gives her plenty of ammo for blaming the victims when they question her over their lack of success- "well, you didn't do the full 14 days like I told you to- what do you expect? Next time, make sure you do exactly as I tell you to for a month, and I guarantee you will see the results..."

They have no training to offer except to harass people they know, then people they come into contact with, then complete strangers. None of this will work, so the next step is to set pointless but time/emotion consuming tasks to keep them going.

The bots themselves might not see the point of it, but they trust Yawn, who is an incredible inspirational successful business mentor who is taking the time to help them achieve greatness out of the kindness of her heart.

gotmychocolateimgood · 09/05/2019 13:54

Twenty I think you are spot on there. 14 days of lives with nothing meaningful to say- it looks pathetic but keeps them busy. They are so convinced they'll be jet setting around the world that I want to cry.

Mr Castle has been a complete tool posting that review. Just shows how detached they are from the real world.

That meme I posted just now- can I just emphasise that it's the bot's COVER PHOTO... I mean it's bad enough having it on your profile at all but it's literally the first thing anyone sees about that person. Tells a story about how the bot has been alienating her friends!

Speechless at Mr Castle’s review. The pure cheekyfuckery of some folk is astounding

Norma27 · 09/05/2019 14:17

It looks like they have a property they rent out on air bnb themselves. I wonder how they would feel if a group of ‘bizniz’ owners decided to hold a party there and trash it.
They are unbelievable.

Twenty you are spot on. Keep them occupied while yawn is off to collect her non-existent cheque!

gotmychocolateimgood · 09/05/2019 14:28

The feckless chequeless bots are gathering!

Yawn is very cosmipoliton. Wonder if she is drinking more coctails!
Get a dictionary or spellcheck yawn. Not very bizniz like having all these spelling errors.

Whiterangey · 09/05/2019 15:00

I can't wait for Saturday. I know tomorrow is also going to be fun but I want to know what castles cheque will be and if it's enough to replace a Miele induction hob.

Given her radio silence and lack of enthusiasm for the cheque giving I'm wondering if it's going to be 5 figures instead of the usual 6 figures.

We know best siblings didn't get a cheque or even qualify so that is two of her downline who usually get cheques who haven't so she could be on a level one cheque.

Jonsey32 · 09/05/2019 15:13

Bruvs review is terrible. They know they broke stuff and behaved terribly so to then try to say that the place was dirty is no excuse! Ooooh there was a spec of dust so I got my tears to dance in your £2k Miele hob.
I’m finding this years rally a bit under whelming. Nothing could top last years one! It was epic and I still giggle looking back!

Jonsey32 · 09/05/2019 15:13

My autocorrect is shocking. Apologies

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/05/2019 15:17

@Whiterangey - Castle got $120K last year (416K in 2017).

At that rate, she will be lucky if this year is five figures!

Jigsawpuzzle · 09/05/2019 15:18

I see one of castles minions only just catching her flight. It usually takes us less than 1/2 hour to said airport, I would prefer to be early and sit nursing coffee & use the WiFi there.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/05/2019 15:22

@Jonsey32 - I think the underwhelmingness (try getting that past your autocorrect!) so far is down to the fact that there isn't a loose cannon like Roomie providing us with priceless moments in the build up.

The pièce de résistance is still to come, and I'm sure the cheques will make it all worthwhile.

9dartfinish2nd · 09/05/2019 15:23

Why is Roomie going when she has been inactive for so long, I start to look at MLM as almost an addiction some people just can't walk away from.

Really hoped that Roomie had her lightbulb moment with FLP a while ago but appears not.

Jigsawpuzzle · 09/05/2019 15:28

Shrinkflation is the name of the game chequewise. Does that mean the low hanging fruit get the loose change from the sofa.

Paddy1234 · 09/05/2019 15:32

I think she had already probably bought the flights and accommodation. I wonder if she actually goes to the rally

fromdownwest · 09/05/2019 15:37

@jonsey32 - It is a classic MLM response, publicly chastise those who date to question your authority. However, outside of their bubble of people idolising them, it just makes them look mean, and to be honest a bit simple.

The grammar of the response looks like it was written by a 8 year old.

Lunde · 09/05/2019 15:39

What was the title of R's book again?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 09/05/2019 15:46

One member of the Castle family got lucky in a cultish pyramid scheme that was on the rise.

Her siblings grabbed her coattails in passing.

They somehow seem to think this makes them minor royalty or A-listers.

Anyone who has had the stomach to watch any of their 'zany' self-promotional drivel will know what a clueless, talentless and narcissistic bunch of berks they are.

One of them just drew a minor win in a lottery, that's all. It won't last.

darceybussell · 09/05/2019 15:55

Castle's police friend has arrived at the rally and has brought her friend with her. The friend stood in a queue at the forever living shop for THREE HOURS to buy a shitty forever living mug.

The Maughan family are not stupid are they! They have these people so hyped up that they will happily wait three hours to give FLP even more of their own cash. Outrageous!

darceybussell · 09/05/2019 15:56

I worked for my last employer for ten years and I loved it there. There is not a chance in hell that I would pay for a mug with their name on it, let alone stand in any length of queue to buy it!
