I wonder how many bots are looking on the bright side of life? @YouOKHun

🤣🤣@MLMsuperfan

Imagine if Fathers 4 Justice pimped up their Spider-Man gear with dungarees.

Why do so many of these offers we can refuse end with a seven? Most people would rather roll a seven than help Weird Willy pay off his credit card debt.

@BSintolerant The prices always end with 7 in honour of the 7 MLM dwarfs:

Broke
Bruv
Willy
Sleaze
Bob
Messiah
Mr Yawn

🤣🤣🤣@YouOKHun

“He’s not the Messiah! He’s a very naughty bot.”

@MLMsuperfan 🤣

I think he’s really panicking. You can tell by the rather manic salute at the beginning and the extra layer of joviality. But there is Mastercard shaped terror behind the eyes.

What sort of dick spends a year on the insolvency register, then almost straight away finds a credit card in the drawer he’s supposed to have cut up and sticks a few thousand pounds on it to create an app for a coaching offering that no one has ever been interested in? Creating an app doesn’t turn a shite idea into a good one.

I think he has to go against the MLM grain and own up as his only hope (apart from a load of kind and gullible men) is to go for the sympathy vote. It’s impossible to disguise yet another flop, it’s going so badly for him that even Nurse wouldn’t sign up.

@BSintolerant I have just watched The Life of Brian tonight … “who threw that??!”.

What sort of dick, you ask?

a limp dick, apparently, according to his own words 🤣

There was some marketing guru who advised that prices ending in a 7 were more likely to get people buying - can’t remember where I saw that

When I worked in retail if it ended in a 7 it indicated it was a clearance line. The .99 thing is that you think 9.99 is less than 10 and 99 less than 100 etc, it's designed to make you think it's cheaper

SnoogyWoo · 20/07/2023 10:54

He looks absolutely petrified in that video, there are no words to express his stupidity. Why would an app suddenly make him successful, I just don’t know where his thought process is. I bet he has put between £3-5k on his card for that app, apps ain’t cheap.

spanfan · 20/07/2023 11:07

Weird willy gives me the creeps. He wants to help kind men "like him". Because of course he is not responsible for his relationship breakdowns.

I suspect he's a gaslighting narcissist. Never his fault, always the victim , and relationships break when his partner realises he's manipulative.

BSintolerant · 20/07/2023 12:41

Weird Limp Willy’s control and manipulation was evident when Homeschool did that live on FB when she was outed as a bankrupt - despite lying to her followers that she was a successful business leader. She looked terrified of him and he was trying to control what she said. I wonder if the penny dropped with Homeschool that Weird Willy was a narcissistic control freak as a result of reading these threads after the FB live?

Wasn’t this during lockdown? I seem to remember thinking what a horrible situation they were in, trapped together in a house with small kids and clearly uncomfortable together

How much is he charging for his app? Can't see a link to it on his web site. Am off work today, half tempted to download it and see what the nonsense is about but obviously not gonna pay for it! If he salutes on the start-up screen of the app or says "helloooo" then I'm deleting it straightaway!

I think you have to contact him - doesn’t seem to be a working app yet? The first 10 clients were going to help him refine it

Went onto FB to look at Weird Willy’s latest car crash and got distracted by Castle’s new Motorhome which I’m told is probably worth about £60k and is, of course, superior to the one her parents have. She is so ridiculously indulged. What about the amazing coaching business while she is travelling? Scamversity content? Ridiculous.

YouOKHun · 20/07/2023 20:41

Perhaps there is no app? I can’t help thinking that if there was anything in existence we would be able to link to it even if there was not much to see. Perhaps he’s paid for a few mock ups to post online to see if anyone is interested. He really wants and needs to get names forwarded to him so he can speak to them and try and gaslight them into thinking they got a problem he can solve. An app alone won’t give him that opportunity. So there might be an app but whatever it contains still requires a secret coercive approach.

True
if it was an app to download he wouldn’t be needed

Weird Willy gives me the creeps.... and the fucking saluting is back!
Thank fuck he has stopped wearing the dungarees...

As you were rakes 😎😉

SnoogyWoo · 20/07/2023 21:47

He’s literally getting zero engagement on any of his posts.

NormalForNuneaton · 20/07/2023 22:05

Is his only fb page his business one now ("The Weird Willy Way") ?

What?! Are you saying that these people bend the truth? Im. Im shooketh to the core. Everything I held true is broken.

He's not even hiding it.

Yawn posted yesterday that her and Mr Yawn spent the morning on their businesses. Note the plural.

YouOKHun · 21/07/2023 10:06

@dickiedavisthunderthighs yes I clocked that too. I haven’t found any trace of his name on any business other than Yawn Ltd but there is no way he is “full time in the bizniz”.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 21/07/2023 10:57

He's in charge of stepladder operations.
