@CompleteBarstool aha found her and her dodgy airbnb. Sleeps 12? I don’t think so.

CodenameVillanelle · 18/08/2020 17:57

Broke's live is...shocking. What a scummy lowlife. I only watched the first minute and a half, that was enough.

I have no idea of the viral YouTube dog video. Any other clues for surname please?

Jonsey32 · 18/08/2020 18:25

OMG broke looks off his but in that video. Screaming at the kids to shut up and wanging on about unicorn bloody powder. Not a good move.

@Norma27 one of the six (used to be five) towns of Stoke on Trent and it begins with F

Norma27 · 18/08/2020 18:59

@ticktock19 thank you! I know which part of Stoke it is. Will look now.

Marvellous 😊

Some of the pictures on that Airbnb listing are horrendous! Pic 3 - the used plate on the right hand side really gives it that luxury finish....not.

fromdownwest · 18/08/2020 19:59

Side line hustle, or the only way to pay her mortgage?

Which one has driven this action?

Getthekettleon2020 · 18/08/2020 20:16

I hope Airbnb bot has informed mortgage provider/insurance/HMRC.
She was the one who just had twins prior to hobgate. No lessons learned then.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 18/08/2020 20:21

Presumably she has either invested in a wanker-proof hob that is rated to be danced on.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 18/08/2020 20:24

Or is not going to rent out to narcissistic pyramid scheme 'business leaders' for their parties...

Sforsh49 · 18/08/2020 20:40

Broke's company is "in the infancy stage of a tentative pre-launch" is this word salad even English?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 18/08/2020 21:12

As I said before, he probably thinks 'tentative' means it will take place in a marquee. A fucking circus tent is where that clown belongs.

CompleteBarstool · 18/08/2020 21:41

Roomie has removed Forever Living from the intro bit on her Facebook (it was there up until the last week or so) and seems to have got rid of everything on her page up until a few months ago. FL clearly doesn't give any credibility to her new role(s)

Interestingly she's also just posted about her mental health issues over the last 5 years ....another case of someone who was sucked in whilst at their lowest, weakest point.

DH and DD have managed to get themselves involved with NuSkin. Only found out about this recently. They came home with a Lumispa. Apparently DH's massage therapist (he has two frozen shoulders so gets the occasional massage to free up his muscles as he has a physical job) is an agent and uses one for her facials. Thought it might help DD's acne so DH bought her one. Wouldn't tell me how much it cost. It has helped enormously but now it seems DD was setup with an account so it would be "easier" for her to buy creams that she needed (she's very frugal so hasn't needed any and when she does they are cheaper on eBay anyway) and now this week she is getting emails from said agent asking if she wants to sell stuff to her friends. DD is only 18 but have had the MLM talk with her and so far she is resisting but very annoyed how they have gotten themselves involved with this.

Grin @Twentytwentyhindsight

Broke probably doesn’t know that some very large tents are called marquees. Mention the word marquee to him and he’d think you were up for a spot of sadism in a field.

BSintolerant · 19/08/2020 01:12

@Bumlooksbig oh dear. Have they seen the BBC documentary, Secrets of the Multilevel Millionaires: Ellie Undercover? That might make them think.

Bumlooksbig · 19/08/2020 09:33

@BSintolerant Not heard of that. Will check it out today, thanks. This is why hanging out on these threads can be useful. Some people not aware that NuSkin an MLM and even I wasn't until I saw the logo on the box and thought "hmmm...where have I seen that before?"

Sforsh49 · 19/08/2020 12:54

Broke managed to be teetotal for about five hours......

Botbrigade · 19/08/2020 14:07

Broke is such a cock.

fromdownwest · 19/08/2020 14:53

More of an observation here.

Castle's sister appears to be very careful of all that she is currently eating and drinking, organic and carefully sourced produce. Nothing wrong with this and I agree that we should know the sourcing of our food more.

However, I do find it strange that there is this level of scrutiny of food intake, yet on the other hand consumes daily aloe?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 19/08/2020 15:13

@fromdownwest - there may be two factors at work there.

  1. It is merely cynical- she understands the importance of good quality and carefully sourced foodstuffs (especially when in fragile health), but the need to continue peddling the Aloe is relentless.
  1. She has been brainwashed in the same way as my ex was into being completely blind when it comes to FL products. My ex was very careful of what she ate, read ingredients lists for any skincare products very carefully, was dismissive of nutrition shortcuts such as shakes and supplements, except when it came to being her own best customer. Her attitude was "if it's FLP, it can only be good", going so far as describing some of the generic additives as somehow 'different' from exactly the same ingredient in a non-FL product...

(Or it may be a combination of the two)
