What is a FOF?

Whod’athunk that the pic of the weightlifting Meghan Markle lookalike on Broke’s Page Advertising his speed pills is photoshopped? Not sure if this link works but the original has a woman wearing a Nike sports bra.

It’s just all so low fucking rent.

Also did anyone notice that one of his Father’s Day gifts was a hash pipe and filters? 🤦🏻‍♀️

funkylittleboatrace · 22/06/2020 14:46

Oh I noticed the weed pipe great Father's Day present that 🙄, did anyone see his nasty post about his ex today before it was deleted?.My favourite part was when he admitted to trolling her, but only because she does it to him.🙄

GoldenKelpie · 22/06/2020 21:48

@CompleteBarstoolarstool that was called 60 second makeover. Do they really do it in one hour? Looks chaotic. Does the person being 'surprised' know in advance? Come on, spill the beans!

Looked at the MLM Facebook page recently and noticed they’re looking into garage qualifying. Interesting reading! One post mentions a FL bot who claimed to be an FBO but accidentally showed their payslip from their actual salaried JOB (was from before the Radio 4 interview). Anyone know who this was?

Spongebobette · 22/06/2020 22:45

That was a reference to Castle’s brother who seems to be employed by Forever Living. Possibly as a graphic artist

BSintolerant · 22/06/2020 22:54

Ooer! Which FB MLM page was this on @Maranello4 ? HobNob could be a shill who is paid a regular salary by Forever Living to pose with products on Instagram. Yet he claims to be making money solely by working as an Independent Business Owner. How very disingenuous.

Bob Parker used to be a Forever Bot before they gave him a J.O.B. It can’t be all it’s cracked up to be.

Interesting article in the Metro about Hunzoning - it seems that some are catching on to the MLMs

CompleteBarstool · 23/06/2020 08:09

goldenkelpie I think that was the show. My friend had chance to say beforehand which room would be done and I think she could say what sort of thing she would like/definitely not like but they took no notice.

For the "reveal" she tried to act as if she loved it but you could tell she didn't.
It was her living room so I saw it in real life many a time...it was such a poor quality finish. They used really bold colours too!

If only they'd had Yawn's vision Grin

GoldenKelpie · 23/06/2020 09:36

Thank you, @CompleteBarstool. I thought they decorated more than one room (3?) but it is years since I saw the programme. The newly made-up rooms always look nice on the programme but, like the other 90's decorating show, Changing Rooms, I couldn't put myself through the stress of having people running round my home, changing things, and have it televised Shock.

OP posts:
CompleteBarstool · 23/06/2020 09:45

@GoldenKelpie .... maybe it wasn't 60 Minute Makeover? It definitely wasn't Changing Rooms as it was a daytime low-budget show. What other ones were around in the 90s?

GoldenKelpie · 23/06/2020 10:27

@CompleteBarstool I just googled "90's decorating tv programmes" but none were anything like your friend's experience. Changing Rooms was mentioned, running from 96-04. 60 min Makeover didn't start until 04.

To get us back onto MLM subject Grin. I wonder whether there are any decorating-related MLM companies? Yawn might know...

OP posts:
CompleteBarstool · 23/06/2020 12:15

If there were any I'm sure she would have joined and gone "from basement to penthouse" already, leaving a trail of paint, tile transfers, glitzy knobs and tat behind her.

CompleteBarstool · 23/06/2020 12:22

Uber's Insta story shows an event last night where 47 bots learned about the face care and masks ....lots (maybe all?) can be seen using the masks.

IIRC the masks were about £10 each.
47 x £10 is a lot of sales.

Hmmm....I wonder who benefits from that, not the lowly bots who are reaching into their pockets again that's for sure Hmm

YouokHun · 23/06/2020 13:27

Talking of masks on a local FB selling page someone has asked where they can buy face masks locally as they’ve got to go into hospital and a Body at Home Hun has popped up and said she’s got loads for dry or oily skin. She’s being teased unmercifully poor woman.

Sforsh49 · 23/06/2020 16:50

Broke living the dream again, tells his followers to watch a film with a lot of sex in it and in the comments he admits to "doing something else" before he got to the end.

Also, really want to correct his grammar in the corporate slide he's made for himself!!!

Norma27 · 23/06/2020 19:26

Yawn 'wants to help'.
Help herself, the vile scammer.

Botbrigade · 23/06/2020 21:12

Another day, another opportunity for Yawn to prey on vulnerable people who have had no clarity from today’s announcements. Sigh.

CompleteBarstool · 24/06/2020 09:55

Yawn's new assistant manager was begging yesterday for people to help her get her last 3.5 points to make the promotion.

Imagine if all business were done like that, begging your friends and family to essentially contribute to your pay at the end of the month.

Is she going to do the same for her next "promotion" too so as not to lose face when Yawn puts the pressure on via social media posts?

GoldenKelpie · 24/06/2020 10:10

It is unbelievable crass, isn't it @CompleteBarstool?

Just how desperate do you need to be to scrape the barrel and guilt your beloved friends and family like that. What kind of business encourages this appalling behaviour.

If there are any bots who are still entangled in their MLM and reading this thread, please come here and tell us why this is acceptable. Or, at least take a good hard look at yourself to see how you are justifying this exploitative action against people who love you.

OP posts:
Norma27 · 24/06/2020 10:13

That person has achieved assistant manager. I wonder how many c9s they purchased to buy their own 'promotion'.

fromdownwest · 24/06/2020 10:31

Away from FL their is a JP power couple who is doing daily quizzes.

What is my daughters name
How much is my next bonus
etc

It is so crass it is unreal, however, she is 2 /3 months qualifying for a£28k bonus. I hope that this is untrue, anyone know about the JP comp plan.

I think she has gone to town on furloughed workers

I completely agree that it must distort things. I think there’s definitely a piece of academic research into the psychological impact upon the children of influencers (and I would broadly include the likes of Castle in this) that are paraded on social media for all to see. It cannot be healthy in so many ways: the knowledge that so much of your early life is document permanently on the internet for all to see; the simple act of being filmed must have an impact on day to day interaction between parent and child; the feeling of being constantly on show; and being used as a part of your parent’s business and the associated pressures.

I also think that in years to come there will be some sort of incident like a burglary or abduction by who has gleaned information from these people that live their lives so openly on social media which will force people to reconsider.
