I don’t believe any of those television gigs until I see it with my own eyes. No one is going to give her a full series either. That’s bollocks.

It’s just like ‘razor wars’ isn’t it? What next? Rice & Quadruple Bean Soup? FFS.
Today's recipe has a classic Jack intro which I'm SURE has been discussed on these threads really recently? I'm getting all Groundhog Day with her but I recall the intro and not the recipe? Anyway other than that it's great how much care she puts into these things, apparently "you can replace the bag with a bag"

Never did get the big reveal after this build up did we?

The thing is though, those messages saying 'yeah let's discuss something in the future' aren't an actual project. It's what you say to people to get them to leave you alone. Because at the end of the day, it isn't up to you. You're going from one contract to the next.

I've worked with so many people who say 'can I send you my idea for a show?' after I've worked with them and I say yes of course. But the reality is, the commissions and the development comes from the TV company......that they then pitch to a channel. And going by her recent performances I seriously doubt TV companies are beating down the door of her shitty bungalow to work with her....

But what do I know, look at the list

I think what she's referring to is this single text message

......And I accept a new columnist job where I tell the world I'm doing it for free before I've even started and my stated aim is to 'bang out' what they need in half hour - so committed, soooo professional. Definitely not hard work.
To be fair to Jack, and I do try to be fair at least once a thread, I think I get what she is trying to say. Ie, what she is doing is a small thing, that she is happy to do as a contribution to something she supports. She just worded it badly.

I think if she said she was spending hours on it she would get a kicking for virtue signalling and taking on more work when she hadn't met her other commitments, and if she didn't say she was doing it for free she would be challenged for taking work from people who were better qualified to do it.

I don't like to look at everything Jack does on a negative light. True, a lot of the time she behaves like a cunt and is a fantasist and spends far too much time showing off, but when she appears to be making an effort I want to give her some credit.

Hoping she can deliver what she promised.

Yes, she said "that's my bedroom+office at the moment" to a squiggle.
I mean, if there ever was a court case (which we all know will, sadly, never happen) it will just be Jack reeling off loads of accusations and then the wonderful @Marmalade Atkins standing up and calmly and quietly showing the receipts that disprove. Every. Single. One.

Just wanted to send a virtual fist-bump and wish you well. It’s a horrible thing, the black dog.

Anyone who works in or who has ever worked in a school knows a 'Jack'.
They are that Supply Teacher you walk into the office of the person who arranges supply and say,
"NEVER get them again. Never."
Only to be told they are there again tomorrow because there is LITERALLY no one else. No one.
So you beg for the person who cleans the Science corridor with the big polishy thing, the caretaker, the lollypop lady anyone but them!

Can we just take a moment to consider how bloody wonderful animals are. All the chaos and that cat still loves her.
