@Bluewavescrashing

Uh oh. I've been given a tropic rep for my secret santa at work. What to do?
A link to this page? 😂

Thank you @Hunbot Grin

Broke will never allow something "so new and sinister as that to enter my body" when talking about the vaccine. This from the man who did a live yesterday admitting he was addicted to all kinds of illegal drugs. Because Kev the dealer makes sure he cuts his Coke/Amphet with with properly tested and regulated cutting agents. Definitely not cutting it with Vim and brick dust.......

AlexCabot · 21/11/2020 23:06

So Broke will happily neck his 'fat burning' pills but not a thoroughly tested vaccine?

I had COVID back in April. This shit is serious, I'm still suffering from it. What a plank.

ticktock19 · 22/11/2020 12:13

Just seen this and judging by what Broke states he's done in the past then thought it was quite applicable

Didn't he eat McD's on hols? Don't quite know what's in that either.

I have a question:

I don't currently have a "no junk" sticker on the letterbox. However, this morning I received an Avon catalogue. Now I would bin it, but this one has a note that says "please leave out on Tuesday as these cost".

A) Your cost is not my problem.
B) The responsibility of return isn't mine if I didn't ask for it in the first place.

Do I bin or return?

Spongebobette · 22/11/2020 13:03

Bloody cheek of this person

Spongebobette · 22/11/2020 13:04

Might have helped if they’d said
‘I’d be really grateful if you could leave this catalogue out for me to collect and reuse’

acatcalledjohn · 22/11/2020 13:08

The note did end in a "thank you :-)"

I've decided to return, but with a note. It's not as kind and states "your cost is not my problem", plus it points out how stupid it is to share catalogues between houses during a global pandemic.

And a final warning that the next time the catalogue will be binned.

Spongebobette · 22/11/2020 13:29

That’s a good point about catalogue sharing

BSintolerant · 22/11/2020 13:39

Those catalogues could be fomites. I hope the Forever Fibbers aren’t handing out PUPP boxes for exactly the same reason.

yorkshirecountrylass · 22/11/2020 15:45

TBH I'd leave a note pinned to the door, "Dear Avon, I have disposed of the brochure you left as we are currently supposed to be doing all we can to minimise the potential spread of Covid19. I am sure you therefore appreciate why it isn't appropriate in the current climate for these to be distributed to other households. For future reference we do not buy from Avon, or any MLM, and so to avoid unnecessary cost of brochures would prefer you did not leave one in future." (And do bin it - you have no idea if it's been used already 🤮!)

ticktock19 · 22/11/2020 19:35

Has anyone watched The Vow documentary on Sky documentaries? It's a 7 part series all about Nxivm and its leaders. Only just started it but it's quite fascinating and reminds me of all the spiel that Weird Willy rambles about

Salon had a visitor to her new Spanish pad over the weekend - the owner of Wig and Sleaze's currently defunct 'forever home'. A little bit of investigation also shows that the same chap was part of a car insurance fraud gang a few years ago, run by his brother.
Reminds me quite a lot of Salon's previous incarnation at LTW with the brothers, one of whom had been in prison for fraud.
She is as mucky as they come.

Spongebobette · 23/11/2020 16:58

She looks more and more like a gangster’s moll

Except that she’s the gangster

Nurse is doing a gratitude post every day
Starting with her son of course
I wonder if she’ll remember to post every day and whether FL will feature much 🤣

Car insurance or faux car sales? I seem to recall that the top LTW dude was not an LTW director, but was involved in a car scam (I think they essentially defrauded dealerships by setting up lease deals with fake details and defaulting on the payments?).

If it's like any of her other month long projects it will last 3 days

You’re rotten for mocking the afflicted. Taking piss out of Nursey’s gratitude posts is no laughing matter. Her posts are having a profound effect on me. I, for one, am immensely grateful to Nursey for creating posts which me laugh until tears run down my leg. In times like these you’ve got to take your laughs where you find them. Grin

Sigh, I rue the day that she blocked me on fb. I live for snippets and morsels of Nursey news Grin.
Sforsh49 · 23/11/2020 23:22

@OscarRIP you can find her on her open profile on Insta.......

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 24/11/2020 10:45

@acatcalledjohn Yep, so one half of the LTW brothers did time for car fraud, some sort of company car scam. The owner of Wig and Sleaze's 'forever home' was complicit in an insurance fraud, where a little gang of them kept driving into each other's cars, claiming injury and getting payouts. It got rused when one of the insurance companies looked them up and realised that the defendants/claimants were all friends on Facebook!!! They are all mates with Salon.

spanfan · 24/11/2020 11:08

Our old friend pHD is looking for customers/victims again.

She says she invested 10k (dollars, presumably Oz) in mentoring for herself 2017 and has spent up to 60k upscaling herself.

And now she wants to help others "quantum leap" into 6 figure income.

If she does anything more than just get other people to mentor others I will eat my hat. What a con artist she is.

Mentoring and coaching is the new pyramid scheme. It sucks.

And to mentor apparently you need swishy hair and boomerangs in Instagram. ,😭😭😂😂
