I am sorry the last few months have been so tough, made even more so by having someone who has a platform to do so much good wasting it on endless streams of shite.

I think we are all at our wits end at the moment. My bugbear is our dear puppet master Cummings who lives quite nearby and was seen walking in my local woods . She too is bending the rules like light bending through a prism. But her infantile lists and not-so-discreet hints are just infuriating.

Roll on next year for the move ... please don’t call him your BB!!!

Jack and the general public, just a reminder: we don't expect you to be poor to write cookery books for people. This is ridiculous, otherwise no rich person could head up a philantropic organisation. We don't want you to pretend you are poor so that other poor people pity you and send you the money THEY desperately need. This is manipulative. Having a tip jar and patreons is not illegal but to hint that you are in need is unethical. Stop it!

Also stop talking dismissively about people who are close to you on pulic platforms. It is hurtful!!

Patreon Sub: 'Excuse me Jack, I've sent a few messages now! I know you said not to bother you on Twitter publicly because of those vicious bullies but it has been over a month now and I was just wondering where my recipe cards were? Sorry again to bother you, I know you're really busy with your book and all of your TV projects etc'

Jack: 'You get a lion bar! You get a lion bar! You get a lion bar!'

Congratulations to the person who thought of the thread title, let’s hope it come true.
Sort of on topic -!I was watching the great and inspired Judge Judy yesterday, she was handing down advice about “waster “ type men. I suddenly realised that was exactly how my ex was.
Hindsight is great, certainly didn’t realise it at the time.

more controlling nonsense, labelling the fridge stuff.



And her kitchen is always hot? But I thought she was freezing cold like Bob Crachit?

Also she has a whole fridge for JUST fruit and veg?! what!?

It’s a video. Of her waving. Waving at her fridge. That I watched. I watched a video of her waving at a fridge.

She attacks people for mithering about things they don't know... well why is she sharing the minutia of her life like this then?! The inside of her fridge, the inside of her cupboards etc etc.

She shares things like this, then wonders why people ask prying questions that get her back up. She invites it all (yes, even the Frau's forensic research) by oversharing bollocks constantly.

Thank you for sharing the trauma bonding insta link - really interesting. I'm not trivialising it when I say that some of the symptoms are displayed by JM's squiggles. I was a squiggle to the point that I found this site whilst googling to find the link to JM's tip jar because I'd been sucked in by the £20 shops and the trolley grift. Even being part of this group makes me wonder whether JM still has too much of my attention, but tbh, now I'm now here for the laughs and honesty of a great group of people.

Could a fridge contents look any more stripped of joy? Explains an awful lot.
