@Spongebobette

In my head Nurse fluctuates between victim, simpleton, liar, con artist, cult member, exploiter and exploited

She's a wannabe exploiter. She's only less malignant than yawn because she's too stupid to do it successfully

True

All of her lies are so transparent

I've just bought two 100ml bottles of hand sanitiser in Aldi. 99p each. If I bought 500ml it would be £4.95. I know which I'd rather have!!

I go fancy and get the Baylis & Harding sanitiser. Splashing out at £1.50 for 50ml.

Still cheaper than FLP. And it smells nice.

Plus I only use the stuff sparingly because I value my hands.

Haven't checked on Wig and Shrek for a while. They never disappoint.
Wig:
80% conspiracy theory posts. Virtually no interaction thankfully
10% weird vitamin scam (change your body at a cellular level, health is wealth)
8% new TV box scam (fuck knows but 100 posts asking for Info)
2% Forever Living reminiscing
Shrek:
As above but More conspiracy theory crap and no FLP.

Thank you @Malin52 that’s spared me having a look!

broke is now going to Turkey with his ex ex. Gave the impression at first that it was a holiday he had paid for but it is all in his ex's name. He is now talking about saving for a passport- did he not crowdfund for his passport etc when he was going out to Thailand ( think it was Thailand)

Has the whole opportunity of a life time -but I want you to pay for it - been forgotten?

@TwinsetAndPearlss It was Bali and apparently he used the money raised for his kids' Christmas presents.

So no passport.

@TwinsetAndPearlss

Yup, as the date for his departure for his 'dream job' in Indonesia ('legally' flogging some sort of pyramid involving selling drugs that were definitely not legal there IIRC) got close, all of a sudden all mention of the trip and the crowdfunding page he set up was wiped from his account, but not before he had raised a couple of hundred pounds...

I do worry for the mother of his children, as he seems to have invited himself into a holiday she has paid for after the friend she was to be travelling with dropped out.

The last 'public' interaction between her and Broke was a live he posted of himself and 'Sexy Bum' chasing her down the street taunting her about their sex life as she tried to scurry away in tears pushing the little one in a buggy.

The pattern seems to be that he treats her like shit; runs off leaving her and the kids as soon as another shag turns up; once that falls apart and he ends up out in his ear, he returns to her proclaiming undying love; she gets pregnant; rinse and repeat...

I see in the comments on Brokes holiday post that an Inteltravel (or whatever the scammy travel MLM is called) bot is trying to get some business!

All those comments about how he needs a break. From what? Has he ever done a single day's work in his life?

I seem to remember him doing a very brief stint in a charity shop, but I believe that was court-ordered community service...

Apparently it would be easy for yawn to throw thousands at her tin can project. The joy is in using cheap tat though! She really is a dick.

I don't know how to put a link, but more trouble for herbashite. Another $123M fine for corrupt practices.

Holy cow! How do they continue with fines like that? They’d have to gross a lot of shot to pay that off.

@CompleteBarstool

Yawn's post about the (very expensive) hand sanitizer is very misleading IMO. Those bottles are only 250ml , although at first read I thought they were 500ml, but her photo of them, shoved up close to the camera, makes them look so much bigger.

It made me think of that classic Father Ted moment..."These are small… but the ones out there are far away. Small… far away…"

Aah, Father Ted, classic comedy at its best . I've watched them all several times, never gets old, always laugh my socks off every time.

I can't imagine why broke's ex would allow him on holiday with her. He is vile and until very recently was posting awful stuff about her. I do hope for her sake that she does not allow him back into her life.

Broke won't get a passport in time. He's waiting to get paid next week which means he'll have less than a week to get one, but currently passport offices are closed and the fast track service isn't available. Going to turkey with your ex doesn't fit under the listed compassionate grounds for a quick turnaround so they're quoting upto 7 weeks for applications under covid......

I think it's obvious that Broke probably won't go on that holiday for one reason or another. He's not exactly got a good track record for following up on his plans is he?

I expect he has coerced her in some way or another. He's got DV perp written all over him

I use Tropic and the person who sells it is not pushy. She runs a mystery hostess thing with orders so someone benefits often to the tune of £80-90. The products are good, her group is private and you ask to join, plus she doesn’t push to recruit as it’s direct sales not MLM. Products are sent out directly to your home. 🤷‍♀️
I can’t stand the pushy MLM companies.

I just assumed that feather than spend money on advertising they pay their sellers a cut, which seems fair to me.

*rather!
Where is the edit function!

@Allnamesaregone 99% of people who sign up to mlms, including tropic, lose money. It is an inherently unethical, predatory business model.
