Twitter seems to have added a new 'story' feature and I can only imagine the marvellous things that await

You wouldn’t cook with alcohol full stop, she doesn’t listen to anything though she never stopped drinking those brew dog numbers had 0.6% ABV and she’s knocking back the kombucha and dib dabs. She’s a real danger to hugely vulnerable people when she starts dishing out advice on drinking & drugging.
BIB: Thanks, @heretoreaditall2019! This was my suspicion, but I didn't want to go full puritan over something that I didn't have experience of.

A few years ago I ran away after an SA situation and left my handbag behind. The guy found my address on my drivers license and turned up at my house the next day while I was at the police station reporting him. My flatmate answered the door and he thankfully just skulked off. I lived with a police alarm system next to my bed for six months in case he tried anything else. That is what being afraid of a knock on your front door feels like, Jack. That is what PTSD feels like. She makes me so furious.

sorry my love I didn’t mean to sound ratty to you, re read it and I sound like a prick, it just winds me up how she speaks for so many groups she knows nothing about. The nation’s Land Rover & a 5 bed working class queen 🙄

I was interested to see where she lived as I wanted to see just how destitute she really was in the cold, crappy, too small bungalow 🙃. That's as far as my interest goes. I have no desire to visit her (or be within a 20 mile radius of her TBF), send any gifts or adoring notes to her address, or indeed tell anyone where she lives (they would not be bleeping interested in the slightest).
I have been tempted to send soap, an orange stick, and a nail brush through the post to her.

'Any nuts will do'?! I feel like chestnuts are pretty different from a lot of other nuts? S'pose it's all the same once blended!
You've inspired me to write Jack and the amazing sentient mirror:

I facetuned eyes,
blamed soft pink curtains,
talked shite for certain, and the fraus all knew.

I banged my shin, was howling and weeping
Cause BB was sleeping
Any chaos will do

I wore my scarf, Burberry's finest
Its from a puddle, honest
And the sideboards too!

So in Southend, the dawn was breaking
And the blue ticks waking
Any sleb will do

A gnash of teeth! A spiteful tweet!
My tv screw ups on repeat!
But when i blamed louisa for them,
I was LEFT alooooone

My bungalow, its cold and crappy,
The lasagne's minty
Cause any herb will do

The squiggles eat
Their eucalyptus curry
Yes absolutely
Any herb will do

X

(You'll have to imagine the brambly mice as backing choir)

i LOVE this, I hate all musicals (no idea why, no one can change my mind) except Joseph and his techniclour dream coat which I saw as a child. I know all the songs etc. Watching it on youtube during lockdown when Andrew Lloyd Webber was putting them online was a total highlight, as I sang along and my bf left the living room. I now have this stuck in my head (again) :LOL:

I'm just sat here thinking how funny it would be if a few people on here asked her for chocolate bars on twitter and she sent them but didn't realise she was sending "nasty bullies" chocolate bars out of her own pocket whilst pretending to be poor. In fact I would personally love it if that happened 👌 someone make it happen!

Bravo!!!! A triumph

Leaving aside the fact the her books are neither use nor ornament, she could have encouraged her followers to request copies at their local libraries which she'd still have made money off but wouldn't have cost the squiggles a penny. Also keeping footfall as high as possible in libraries helps makes the case for keeping them open when the next round of cuts come along. I appreciate all that might be a tad socialist for Jack who borders on Thatcherite in her individualism but thought I'd mention it all the same.
Come on, they are useful. Like I said yesterday, you could use them to prop up a wobbly table!

I mean, obvs no use to cook from, I'll give you that
