On BBC 2 now
Anyone watching this? She is amazing for 90! Obviously her hair is dyed, (or is it a wig?) and is heavily made up but still looks great. Very watchable.

foxie how good to have that comparison with the full of life Joan Collins

Please don’t let the image of Kp under the table near BJ get a hold

Hey! I've ploughed through 7 pages because I sat and watched the Joan Collins interview this very afternoon and wanted to comment. She made me laugh, she looks great for 90, is still as sharp as a tack and full of life. I visited my grandchildren yesterday afternoon and one of them had watched the interview and said, Grandma, she's just like you but with more hair! I'm not anything like JC but it made me howl with laughter as I think he meant we are both old! Watching the interview was a lovely way to lose an hour on a grey cold Sunday afternoon!
I had no idea that she was at the Lebedev house party and now I am very intrigued. I wonder what KP was doing under the table near Boris? Doesn't bare thinking about!

Fleurpepper why not start a thread about the Lebedev House Parties 2011-2016 , many high profile people were guests…

This rabbit hole is getting bigger than the Great Rift Valley...

Ok a shout out for Greatnan. Such a talented, well informed. Interesting poster. Her loss was significant for this forum and for those of us who ciudad count her as a genuine forum friend. She was always honest and true.

But this programme is about her not him.

Yes, by you. My post was directly related to the OP. Not what you were interested in, fair enough. But directly related to an event SHE witnessed, as SHE was there.

I have requested that this thread is removed as it has become completely hijacked and too personal.

It got derailed ages ago.

GreatNan ( Carol ) died in 2013, she knew nothing about the incident you are referring to which was relatively recent.

Fleurpepper Sun 26-Nov-23 16:32:45

Since we are at it- the pms sent to me to 'out me' in confidence, on 1st of October 2022, have all been deleted, including my reply asking for this to be kept confidential 'by request'. How strange.

Fleurpepper Sun 26-Nov-23 16:22:04

granfromafar - not of my choosing, thanks.

It was a much loved, no longer with us member who told me you are Swiss. GreatNan.

No, GreatNan was a very close friend- she never ever knew me as FleurPepper. I was outed by another member, by pm- then on here. Because of comments and personal attacks under my previous GN name (the reason GN became such a great friend because she was shocked at those attacks and could not understand) I had chosen not to mention where I live.

Annie1, I am British- have been since 1973 (arrived in 1970), and lived in England for 40 years, married to a Brit, with British ACs and GCs. I returned to Switzerland to look after my very elderly parents when we retired. England will always be home too.

Possibly not as many posters

Possibly many posters ........

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 26-Nov-23 15:55:59

I recall her talking about her life in Switzerland. She hasn’t always been known as FleurPepper.

Callistemon21 Sun 26-Nov-23 15:53:32

However, FP was tricked into revealing that she lives in Switzerland

Possibly not as many posters who have been on here for years know FleurPepper lives in Switzerland, having lived in the UK for many years before that. FleurPepper has said so herself on more than one occasion, so I'm not sure why there is a problem.

Anniel Sun 26-Nov-23 14:10:18

I have to say reading this last page, I am even more intrigued by Fleur Pepper. Most Grans living overseas do not mind other Grans knowing they are not in UK. However, FP was tricked into revealing that she lives in Switzerland. Many moons ago dear husband and I so enjoyed meeting our family members who had a home there that we considered buying a home in France close to the Swiss border ( we could not afford a house in Switzerland) So FP I feel quite jealous of you but did not expect a Swiss dweller to have such a detailed knowledge and interest of the parties attended by Boris and Joan Collins. And so cool about making libellous comments even if warned by a British lawyer. It as though British law does not apply to her or maybe him. I love a good mystery!

GN is akin to Alice falling down the rabbit hole sometimes

Oh yes, I often feel like Alice when reading some posts 😁 🐰

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 26-Nov-23 10:26:32

Now we have a suggestion that Johnson was plied with drugs as well as drink. At least if FP will not reply she won’t be making more libellous comments. I won’t hold my breath though. ‘Many have wondered’ - not on here it seems. Alice indeed.

many have wondered for a long time why Katie Price and Joan Collins were not interviewed to find our more about what happened

Maybe they should have interviewed your ubiquitous friend who would have been under the table as well!

Fleurpepper Sun 26-Nov-23 10:00:56

Count to 10 and breathe slowly.

The possibility that he may have been blackmailed because of his behaviour that week-end, plied with drink, and very possibly a lot more - has been voiced by many. I should have put a question mark. As said, many have wondered for a long time why Katie Price and Joan Collins were not interviewed to find our more about what happened- and feel that Theroux had the perfect opportunity to do so. A lot more interesting, for some, many of us, than the tittle tattle. Will not reply.

DrWatson Sun 26-Nov-23 02:37:57

For Lucky -- it wouldn't have mattered what Theroux might have known about the odious Savile -- he had the protection of Thatcher AND the Royals, who all thought he was great due to the charity fund-raising.

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 25-Nov-23 22:10:43

I, as a lawyer, tell you that your post is libellous FP. ‘^Not at all^’ you reply. Breathtaking.

Ignoring the politics here as Joan is an actor and not a politician, I thought it was less interesting than I hoped. Yes she’s demanding, I suspect living her life and being 90 probably make that inevitable. I love Louis, I didn’t see the Saville programme but am interested in seeing it. The Pete Doherty interview was better I thought, he is a mess.
