Who is bloodsucker?

Spongebobette · 16/11/2020 08:01

What does she say? Am blocked by Nurse

Twentytwentyhindsight · 16/11/2020 08:07

Bloodsucker is the long time top dog in FLP U.K. (apart from a brief blip that saw Uber take over for a bit).
Her surname, aptly, is a homonym for a parasitic life form that attaches to their prey and gorges on their blood.
Her first name is that of Tarzan's OH, but spelt slightly differently.

What date is the pep talk post from?

YouokHun · 16/11/2020 08:35

@CodenameVillanelle first name is the first name of a Charlotte Bronte character. The second name is a carnivorous or aquatic worm but spelled with an ea not an ee.

Bloodsuckers post from earlier in November about giving training to the Philippines just typifies the cult element of FL (and other elements). Comments from people claiming they cried listening to her, how humble she is etc.

Malin52 · 16/11/2020 08:41

It's bloodsuckers latest post in her FB business page (14 hours ago). It's the profile that has a pic of her in a lime green top and the lesser spotted husband in a blue shirt. The image she's posted is in neon and nurses comment is one of the first ones.

BS basically talks about how everything is hard due to lockdown but you have two options. Wallow in misery and self pity or rise to it and give the world who you are meant to be etc etc.

Nurse comments how she needed to hear it. That last lockdown she was okay and got promotions but this lockdown she has felt herself going to option 1, she needs to work on it and she 'can do this'. Awful.

Is there a nickname for this wonderful specimen -
First name Oscar winner Portman
Second name rhymes with really

Twentytwentyhindsight · 16/11/2020 10:34

@Lemming20 that's Uber, so-named because she was briefly top of the FLP greasy pole and didn't fail to mention in every breath that she was number one.

Getthekettleon2020 · 16/11/2020 10:52

Funny how Yawns DS is studying for a worthwhile trade but expects her DD to follow in her footsteps.

Lemming20 · 16/11/2020 11:02

@Twentytwentyhindsight thank you that makes a lot of sense!!

ToBotOrNotToBot · 16/11/2020 17:12

@SSDGM

Is Yawn still a gluten free vegan or did she get bored of that?
Well she claimed on a recent post that she's been veggie for years, but she's eaten fish often so is probably more like pescatarian. BUT she's just posted 5 empty packs of haribo star mix on her insta story, saying she's shouldn't trusted around sweets. And everyone knows that they contain pork gelatine so she's pretty much a meat eater anyway
CodenameVillanelle · 16/11/2020 17:30

Is bloodsucker's first name the name of charlotte's main heroine? I can't find her

Malin52 · 16/11/2020 17:42

@CodenameVillanelle yes but with a y in it. Second name is bloodsucking creature but with an ea not an ee.

Norma27 · 16/11/2020 17:43

I didn't even think about yawn's haribos and I have been veggie 40 years. I don't eat sweets at all because of gelatine, even though there are some veggie ones now.
Those haribo are not veggie.

Coronation Street is hilarious! “Eeeeew! That smells cheap!” Grin

They’re all number twos if you ask me.

Watchingyou2sleezes · 16/11/2020 20:04

Who's nurse? I know it's been mentioned many times before but I've not really been interested before. I can spare an hour to see some of this deluded desperation

BSintolerant · 16/11/2020 20:30

First name:

Queen, Queen [......] dipped her nose in turpentine, turpentine to make it shine, Queen, Queen [......].

Coronation Street is hilarious! “Eeeeew! That smells cheap!” Grin
It's very funny. "It's not a pyramid scheme!" Wonder if the writer of the script has had a negative experience Grin. More and more people are waking up to the triangular-shaped-pointy thing that is a pyramid scheme. Its a joy to watch.
BSintolerant · 16/11/2020 21:03

Grin It’s brilliant! They’ve mentioned that term which the DSA takes exception to: Multilevel Marketing.

And Sean has paid for his box of delights with his credit card. It won’t end well.

MLMsuperfan · 16/11/2020 21:26

I might have to watch Coronation Street for the first time since the 80s. Is it the latest episode?

BSintolerant · 16/11/2020 21:59

I think the MLM storyline only started recently (someone mentioned it above). I tuned into the comedy moments in both of tonight’s episodes - the grim storylines bore the ass off me so I tune those out. Grin

Lemming20 · 17/11/2020 09:00

Which one of you legends got yourselves blocked by yawn as part of ‘baublegate’?Grin see comments on her posts about the said baubles... she is usually so OTT nice it’s odd to hear her be rude

CompleteBarstool · 17/11/2020 09:29

I love the way Yawn just casually drops in that she going for a run as if it's an every day event.

She hasn't been running since pre-first lockdown. I know that because otherwise she would have been using it as a marketing tool, pushing products that she claims help her to do it, desperate to flog them to her captive lockdown audience.
