Botwatch 89!!!!!! MLM is dying but we are still watching and sadly there are still many victims. 99.6% of participants in these “legal” schemes lose money but they are STILL being promised the world by MLM.

Review (Apprentice Bot’s Billiontyaire Method®️ podcast, favourably of course) and share it to be in with a chance to win a 1:1 BC Session (worth f all) and £100 cash.

Cash inducements? Seems legit.

@YouOKHun As a latecomer to this page - what does BC mean ?

YouOKHun · 09/10/2025 19:41

@CrikeyalmightyI refer you to the Advertising Standards Authority website for upheld complaints dated 1st October. You will see it there!

I’ll never forget that photo @YouOKHun - it brings tears to my eyes every time I think of it! 😆🤣

@ticktock19 yes, I’m very happy about listening to Mr Palin. I fell in love with him at an early age when he appeared in Monty Python as Mr F G Superman hiding a secret identity as Bicycle Repair Man (if you remember that sketch?). I will avoid the Giggling Squid as that’s a key Date venue.

As for the photo. I have a library of some choice MLM pics but that’s a favourite. I thank God for the invention of the screen shot!

I do remember Bicycle Repair Man.
The chap who fixes bikes on The Repair Shop is called that in our house as he looks very like MP's character.

There’s a local band to me called Bicycle Repair Man. Keep meaning to check them out.

How does headband not know the stats on her "own" Business. Why does it take a call from Mickthegreek to give her figures? I mean the %'s are pretty meaningless in terms of turnover, stock, profit, expenses, tax, pension Ni contributions.

I wonder if she ever gives any thought about recording these things, it's quite bizarre. Tbf I doubt she makes 12k a year to pay any tax but she must fill out a tax return and I suppose she receives child benefit so will continue NI Contributions. #cluelessbusinessmum

**public service announcement""

MrsD is pissed as a fart, so please excuse spelling or grammatical errors.

I have had an absolute shitter of a week at work. I am a senior manager in a business critical role in a large organisation. I've been in back to back meetings since Tuesday. The day to day "stuff" has been covered by my exceptional team leaders who can, provide me with a breakdown down on our kpis, critical issues in an instant. If my CEO called me with my stats and figures I'd be very very worried.

That call from MtG to a lowly FBO is not about recognition from on high it's about the salaried man in a state of absolute panic aka the 💩 hitting the fan.

Yawn has turned into Mystic Meg (or is it Septic Peg) ....she's having visions of the destiny of her gorgeous client.

ha ha Cheers @MrsDilligaf enjoy your well earned drink! You are spot on with MTG's call and sadly Headband misconstrues it as recognition and posts a manic picture of herself looking like Jiminy Cricket (who funnily enough is Pinocchio's friend).

I read that as septic pig! At least her vision wasn't dogs all squatting on stage that would have been a literal shit show.

Basically admitted she doesn't have any clients.

PieonaBarm · 11/10/2025 20:58

Where is this?

Spongebobette · 11/10/2025 21:03

On her insta

It was on her Facebook. Basically praising her husband for his mindless faith in her - and the closest we’ve seen to a truthful assessment of how things are going.

and it’s clevedon. And Somerset. If she can’t even be bothered to get detail correct (and is snippy with someone who’s rightly pointed this out) who is going to trust her with their business? She totally lacks professionalism and credibility.

Spongebobette · 12/10/2025 08:48

And the only 2 comments on the post are from the 2 women she’s roped in to work with her

Spongebobette · 12/10/2025 11:57

Wow she’s posting non stop over the weekend about all her businesses

pockets of time eh

I suspect Mr y had to take her out for the day to cheer her up because she was having a bad week, having realised she’s getting nowhere

@Spongebobetteher accounts are available to see at the end of this month so perhaps there have been some hard conversations at the Thatch? The hard conversations have possibly led to a huge exercise in convincing herself it’s all fine [positivity] and that it will turn a corner because that’s what she wants [manifestation]. It’s just a shame that HMRC seems incapable of sharing her vision.

I can imagine Mr Yawn is well aware that what she’s doing is costing more than it’s making and may have tentatively broached the subject. This is followed by high drama/screeching/ flouncing/sticking pins in her Uber doll. Though come to think of it there has probably been a difficult atmosphere since May 2024. An atmosphere that can only be managed by day out to a Gloucestershire spa town to post insta shots of a two-for-one meal deal of sourdough toast with an avocado that has been smashed (but not as much as her dreams of world domination in the Yawnsville area). This is known as “a date” but is in fact Mr Yawn’s carefully constructed anger management protocol.

The more she praises Mr Yawn the more I think his patience might be wearing thin.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 12/10/2025 16:08

That’s very much my reading of it, @YouOKHun

Crikeyalmighty · 12/10/2025 17:34

She’s busy flogging off that FL stuff at probably a loss- has she got a corporation tax bill due ?
