Thread 81! The scam that keeps on giving! MLM, network marking, social selling or whatever else you want to call it. It rinses you of your money, time and friends for the dream of wealth, which never happens. Why? The business model ensures that only those at the very top of the 'pyramid' stand a chance of wealth, all the rest of us just "pay to play". The dream is a nightmare. Tell your stores here.

Perhaps one day we will rename Castle as Folly!

I remember when Castle lived at the Castle (yes I've been on these threads that long under various names!) ... I don't ever remember any boasts about the pool though.

Maybe that wasn't included in the rent or they couldn't afford to heat it

No the pool was empty when the Castle rented it, not sure why.

Spongebobette · 17/02/2024 19:16

Yes there was a YouTube video with Bruv lounging about at the folly and definitely claiming FLP had given her the income to buy it

HellooooJackie · 17/02/2024 21:38

Lots of drama going on with Messiah calling out his alleged 'trolls'......

Sleeze (and possibly Wig?) are on their way to meet him too.

Yawn has a shocking dress sense sometimes, especially when she wants to show off her weight loss eg. see the fb post of her promo video for FL .

Nobody looks good in cream leggings /jodhpurs unless they're on a horse. And then you have the Harry Hill-esque shirt ....

Sugarplum48 · 17/02/2024 22:25

Is this jodhpur atrociousness of booflkfave?

BSintolerant · 18/02/2024 08:23

It’s on ArseBook @Sugarplum48 - she looks like she was riding to a fancy dress party dressed as Harry Hill but she’s lost her horse (or it’s done a runner).

NormalForNuneaton · 18/02/2024 09:49

I don't know what all her outfits and posts about what she's wearing are about or who they're aimed at?

She just seems to think she's some sort of style icon but so often gets it wrong....over doing the colour coordination, over accessorising or looking like she's been let loose in a tv costume dept.

Is it supposed to suggest success? Power? Wealth? Serious business woman? .....because to me it just suggests someone who doesn't know who they are, someone who is struggling to find their identity and spends too much time looking at themselves in a mirror .

Which Village Hotel Yawn? I imagine there's more than one in Scotland!

Haha...you're absolutely right, so much so that BE (British Eventing) and other equestrian disciplines have just announced that you can compete in whatever colour jods you like now as cream / white ones are impractical and don't flatter anyones body.

apologies, i know that's completely off topic but your comment made me laugh and jts so bloody true. Yawn take note, you're behind the times if you're trying to look more 'country set'

BSintolerant · 18/02/2024 15:36

Yawn’s style is more cunty set than country set.

Wintersgirl · 18/02/2024 17:14

Specsaver bot is such a saddo, trying to copy her heroine at every opportunity, it's tragic, can these grown women not think for themselves?

Spongebobette · 18/02/2024 17:27

It’s the brows 😬

YouOKHun · 18/02/2024 17:54

@BSintolerant 😂

YouOKHun · 18/02/2024 18:33

This is my local NuSkin recruiter. He’s a fecking pest as well. “I’ve got a six figure income Tally Ho!”, “why don’t you trot on and sign up”, “Giddy up and empty your wallet into mine”, “let me snaffle all your money”, “I’ve got five spaces left in the winners’ enclosure, but watch where you’re walking because there’s horseshit everywhere”, “that’s 3 faults for a refusal, you must have a negative mindset”.

YouOKHun · 18/02/2024 18:45

@Contraryjane me or him?! 😂😬

Living in Yawnsville I can tell you she is so far off the mark for country set. In fact I really don’t know where she gets half the tat she wears. Certainly not in Yawnsville. I can’t believe she spends so much time in Cheltenham but hasn’t found the decent shops yet.

BSintolerant · 18/02/2024 20:44

@YouOKHun 😂😂

Does he dress like that because he’s hung like a horse and needs room to rummage? He looks like he’d trouser all your money.

BSintolerant · 18/02/2024 20:46

Can she afford to shop in Cheltenham @Angrymum22 ? That directors loan must be weighing heavily on her shoulders.

Contraryjane · 18/02/2024 21:24

YouOKHun · 18/02/2024 18:45

@Contraryjane me or him?! 😂😬

Sorry! Him of course!

YouOKHun · 18/02/2024 21:59

@Contraryjane your answer could have gone either way tbh 😁

@BSintolerant he’s a Manhun; they are always gelded at the point they pick up their starter kit so I think those are spacious but empty troos. You can check if you want to, but if you do find anything I think it will turn out to be an old LumiSpa with dead batteries. I don’t want you to be disappointed.

BSintolerant · 18/02/2024 22:42

All mouth and trousers? Typical Manhun. He must have very deep pockets of time with very big holes in them with nooks and crannies where you’d least expect to find them.
😉

Ooowhatshappeningnow · 19/02/2024 01:10

Can anybody remember the film Labyrinth with David Bowie? … Yawn reminds me of him in that.

Ooowhatshappeningnow · 19/02/2024 01:18

Here he is!
