A comment asking why Bruv has used photos of his sister and asking for a link to the client's finished website has been swiftly removed from Bruv's post about doing the colouring in for a client called the same name as his sister and using Castle's mugshot.

I assume if the client existed he'd want to share a link to promote her business and to promote his colouring in, but no he really doesn't.

So yawn is now posting "advice" about how to stop drinking.

So the absolute genius tells someone who may or may not have a drink problem that alternating alcohol with non alcoholic options is a way to stop and prevent a "failure bender"

So AA and all those support services out there have got it all wrong it would seem... 🤣😭😭😭😭

The girl needs to STOP!!!!

ImADeadGirlWalking · 08/10/2024 22:21

Yawns exbff has sarcastically posted about doing a canva training for £20. Is this a dig at Yawn? Uber and yawns upline (I think she's yawns upline anyway) are tagged in it.

Thank you for the new thread! Are you glad you didn’t publish it in Sporner Corner? That den of iniquity might be a good home for it: squeezing spots is similar to watching bots go “splat!” under pressure. 😉

BSintolerant · 08/10/2024 22:51

Guru Yawn’s advice is almost on a par with Viz’s Top Tips. How about this one?

“DRIVERS: Avoid getting prosecuted for not wearing a seatbelt while driving. Simply wear an inflatable suit and the police will think you’re a sex doll rather than a 24 carat cunt who doesn’t care about keeping yourself and others safe on the road.”

I might submit that one to Viz.

@BSintolerant 😂🤣 I think that's perfect for Viz.

I think Sporners' Corner came to mind because of Yawn swimming in her own essence 🤢

More seriously (but no less revolting), I hope Yawn isn't dishing out stop drinking advice (who knows how far she goes in her private groups, "coaching" sessions and DMs). It's concerning @spanfan isn't it? Last time she was banging on about booze on TikTok she was having exchanges with some people who clearly had real problems with alcohol. Her "tips" could be quite dangerous for some people.

Here is a question for you:

What is more invisible than Yawn's beige on beige branding?

No, not Weird Willy, but close.

The answer is: Mrs Homeschool's big triumphant scammy return to pyramid scheme glory. Invisible.

Good.

Ha ha haaaa Homeschool has posted some photo of her glory days collecting cheques in Forwver Living - one has a great big blue blob on obscuring someone’s face😂

And look what she's said

"you. No Ponzi scheme or pyramid in sight - just pure, unadulterated opportunity.
And get this - I haven't even sold a single product!"

Isn't that the definition of a Pyramid Scheme? No product?

Sugarplum48 · 09/10/2024 06:35

Hurrah, cheers for the new fred

It’s completely and utterly a Ponzi scheme

no products, sign people up who pay a monthly fee

I see they wheeled out a woman whose son has leukemia as an inspirational example of success in the business 🙄

Norma27 · 09/10/2024 07:57

What an absolute ghoul. My friend’s son has got leukaemia for second time today. Today they find out for definite if it is end of life care. Homeschool would prey on them like a shot if she could. 😡

HouseofHolbein · 09/10/2024 08:12

Is there a clue for homeschool please? I'm a lurker who is scarily close to Ubers folly by the sea. Not seen her in the wild yet tho 🤣🤣

ticktock19 · 09/10/2024 08:20

@HouseofHolbein Edward and Sophie's daughter and the first part of the shop .......& Spencer

Spongebobette · 09/10/2024 08:21

First name same as Sophie and Edward’s daughter, second name X and Spencer

HouseofHolbein · 09/10/2024 08:45

Thank you!

HouseofHolbein · 09/10/2024 08:52

Found her 😊 so is she back with Forever Scamming or has she found something new? I don't think I'm fluent enough in botspeak to work it out 🤣🤣

In other news ironbot (remember her?) has had a haircut. And probably a job. Keeps it quiet but there are signs.

BangingOn · 09/10/2024 09:52

@HouseofHolbein I read elsewhere that Ironbot now has a job in retail. It’s a shame as I worked with her years and years ago and she was very good at what she did, I’m surprised she’s not returned to her old career but I suppose it wouldn’t be as under the radar as a part time job in Next.
