Sleaze’s use of Liam Payne’s death to get the attention of followers by claiming some weird conspiracy theory about what happened really pissed me off. I saw it after his 3D printed portaloo post Nothing is off limits for Sleaze if it can be used for his benefit is it?

If you are stupid enough to pay £22 for someone to give you a list of non alcoholic drinks rather than do a free Google search then frankly you deserve to lose that money.

2jags and her ex-bff who I have now named Judith Chalmers (only those of us of a certain age will get this one🤣) have been on a night out together. Will Judith try and headhunt her into selling holidays?

Haha , I like the new nickname 😄

I'd just seen that they'd been out together and was wondering the same

OhMyGiddyAunt · 19/10/2024 10:26

I see Welsh Rarebot is single now.

Last time I really looked at her page was around the time they were moving from the barn conversion to what looked a house with a caravan park attached.

Good to see that her new business is doing well and she's never drifted back to FL. No mention of Castle either...they clearly fell out big time.

Sugarplum48 · 19/10/2024 10:32

What Judith says doesn't tally up to her CH accounts. What a shocker.

YouOKHun · 19/10/2024 11:48

I rarely look at Welsh Rarebot's SM but whenever I do there always seems to something precarious going on (not unusual for a bot). I'm glad she has on the face of it got away from FLP and it looks like those accountants in a midlands spa town are winding up the FLP company. Is she still coaching?

I also see she has had a spot of bother with a four figure fine and six points for failing to give information relating to a driver allegedly involved in an offence. That's an expensive mistake.

Welsh rarebot’s OH was a bit dodgy if I remember correctly

Spongebobette · 19/10/2024 12:14

Oh I might be getting mixed up with my Welsh bots

The one I’m thinking of’s husband still appears to be with his wife

Welsh Rarebot's DH seems to be a vehicle body repairer nowadays and, after a brief spell coaching, she has started up a business with someone else creating and selling aromatherapy patches for children.
They have a boy and a girl, used to live in a barn conversion

Her fb says she's Single and she's currently at Legoland with the kids and no DH

Judith Chalmers apparent wealth (big house, holidays etc) most likely comes from her ex who has been involved in a succession of companies (mainly to do with swimming pools and property). He's also got a book about how to become a multimillionaire by building a business from scratch.

Their relationship always made me think of that Mrs Merton sketch when she asked Debbie McGee "What first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?" 😁

YouOKHun · 19/10/2024 13:59

Sorry to ask again but could I have a clue for Judith?

First name - dj -..... Laverne and 2nd name is the F town of Stoke on Trent

Tupperwarelid · 19/10/2024 14:10

God Yawn is thick. Wears brand new trainers on her longest ever runs then moans she’s got blisters. I’d be more worried about the chafing caused by the crystals in the bra.

ticktock19 · 19/10/2024 14:17

@Tupperwarelid my thoughts exactly, plus, can you 'swap' trainers that you've just put through an 8.5mile run 🤷‍♀️

Surname is also the name of the dog chasing the deer in Richmond Park (viral video a few years ago)

YouOKHun · 19/10/2024 14:50

@Tupperwarelid Yawn says she is going to swop her trainers so I suppose she's expecting the retailer to exchange them because they gave her blisters? If so she will be disappointed as they are not faulty so the retailer doesn't have to accept them. I suppose there is consumer rights for ordinary mortals and then special concessions for special manifesting snowflakes who deserve positivity and new trainers because they are special. I wonder which shop assistant is going to have to deal with her hissy fit?

Exactly, plus as she informed us all yesterday, she had to run on a treadmill (without a sports bra) in the shop so it sounds like the shop covered everything to ensure they fitted her feet properly.
I'd very much like to be a fly on the wall when she's told that the sweaty soggy muddy trainers she now has are unreturnable as they can't be resold.
You'll have to fire up the old vinted account again yawn 😂

PieonaBarm · 19/10/2024 15:05

Some of those shops that check your gait on a treadmill will exchange the trainers they sell you if they're not right once you've tried them out properly. It might well be she went to one of the retailers that will exchange. Not that I'd ever defend Yawn but she might be eligible.

Sleaze has built a latrine. A bog is the only thing that will fit in that so called "house". Unless you have a particular niche and work for Willy Wonka, you could only sit down in it, never mind lie down and sleep. It seems, thankfully, that the developing world will have to wait a bit longer for him to revolutionise the construction industry.

Is this yet another hilarious example of the MLM Law of Reaction? Just days ago we were discussing the unlikely possibility of Guru Yawn following Julian of Norwich’s example by being bricked up in a nook or crannie in The Thatch (with an optional hole in the wall for food, bucket, communication with the outside world, and air) or taking up residence in her Bot Potty (no need for a hole for the bucket) in the manner of a medieval hermit. Where is Sleaze heading with this? Will he join the Woo Brigade? I hope he’s got enough room for a bag of carrots in his new cell / latrine / coffin.

YouOKHun · 19/10/2024 15:29

I suppose so @PieonaBarm. If they spent time getting her to run on the treadmill and to fit them carefully I bet they also gave her advice about breaking them in while indoors and working up to short runs in what I understand to be standard practice for new running shoes (and bloody obvious!). If they do exchange them she will probably go and do the same thing again!

OP posts:
MaybeItsJustTimeToStop · 19/10/2024 17:14

So they actually swapped her trainers! I can't believe you wouldn't wear them in a but first! Why would you do 13km the first time you wear them, baffled!

Sugarplum48 · 19/10/2024 18:27

Thick as mince that's why.
