Well, well, well - A lady doctor with over 10,000 followers. Add her to a well-connected journalist & an increasing number of very smart people on Twitter.
Buckle up, Jack, an incredibly interesting few months lie ahead. This is happening.
Spot on! The Frauen have impressed me again with their forensic psychology skills (this time I am not being ironic). @Oofadoofa and @JuliaGulia have also struck a chord with their personal accounts. I wanted to jump in in the last thread but there was an influx of further excellent analysis. I progressed from being amused about that BB scenario to having more and more chilling déjà vu moments. Like Oofadoofa said, it is about power and my ex was like that. While I am a fairly good cook she used her cookery knowledge to put me down (admittedly she knew how to cook) and to scream at me, insult me, diminish me. I am, despite financially struggling at the moment, fairly skilled in a few areas, with a good education but I am not arrogant, so no need to lash out at me. She was a narcissist and it was all new to me bc I had never met a person like her before. She constantly created situations in which she could gain power over me. Like JM did with her breakfast bowls, she would do over the top amazing things for me but I felt there was always sth missing-genuine love. She was grumpy most of the time and if sth ever put a smile on her face it was when I gave her money. She too was very much into luxurious things and status. It was the exact opposite of what I was after: kindness, love and true companionship. I had intensive therapy after that and it still haunts me.I hate how JM makes all the people in her life into these pathetic reductive caricatures against their will to add in when she needs them for made up anecdotes. SB = smelly, aching for independence. SB dad = compliant bloke, ex mcdonald's employee. BB = tit cook, eager mentee
But it will be JMs child and L has to finance it!God, I hope not. Using your womb to entrap a partner is gross.
if Louisa wants a child she is on a position to do it alone.
Jack, by changing the name of mushroom powder to mushroom dust doesn't make it something you dreamed up in your weird little head, it just makes it slightly more difficult to google.
Sorry for being snappy, she is rubbing me up the wrong way over this Louisa business and I am being overly sensitive.Oh no, I wasn’t suggesting you were implying this!!!! I was adding to what you were saying and pointing out that when people say “she is a head of news, she should know better” I feel that regardless of what level people are in their employment, they are equally susceptible to being controlled coercively.
Sorry if I gave the wrong impression.
@MooBelle I don't think this refers to MR at all. I do know that newsrooms are given prior notice of the awards but they're under a strict embargo until it's officially time to announce and report on them. You can join the dots on that one, sounds like there's probably been a leak to meGood morning from the past.
It is now 10th October.
Jack is getting silly squiggles to pay her £120 a year for some pictures of chicken nuggets that she won't bother sending to them.
Marcus Rashford has just announced his MBE. Yay! He thoroughly deserves it and Jack is seething.
She claims 'we' knew about it and has been dying to tell people.
Bollocks. Who is 'we'? Obviously trying to make people think she and MR are bffs.
If it is true and she was confided in (she wasn't) then saying she knew could get MR in serious tit. You aren't allowed to tell anyone. A girl at work got one and only told her husband.
She is as unbearable as always.
Special mentions to @TurnedUpInTipp for the Oscar worthy mini film. Bravo.
Doesn't hang out in Waitrose, eh? *raises sceptical eyebrow*
Like mom like daughterWhat in Gods name is Nigella playing at! Sweet potato Honey Beer pie? Has she gone to the dark side?
duck me, the substitution of dried lily flower with shredded cabbage sums up Jack’s cooking to a tee. Joylous & inadequate.
Thank you for posting this. I think I made a comment about not understanding why Louisa would go back to Jack given the fact that she just overall...better... I didn't call her stupid (and I don't think she is - she's clearly properly clever but that has little bearing on it anyway) I hope dearly that this isn't the situation and Jack is just a good duck or something, so why not. If this is the situation then she absolutely has my sympathy.I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable with some of the comments about Louisa being stupid to go back to Jack, that she knows what she's like, that she is an intelligent woman with a high powered job so it's her own fault.
I realise that this is because I have been in a similar situation (though my narc was way more covert and I wasted 6 years trying to help him) so it is triggering to me. It may not be what is going on in this situation at all, but it does look very similar.
I hope this link works, as it's the best information I have found on the subject to explain it to people.
Trauma Bonding
She's using block lists which have set criteria. Most of those people won't have been following her or even know who she is.
It was cheap white bread and corned beef! #upinjacksnicheI watched Sir Matt of the Forearms today and he did a recipe with 'cheap white bread' I grinned at the screen.
