Jack Monroe #129 Jack, could we have a quick chat?

[Sideboard Bob]

I found this interview with Allegra which mentions her being expelled, but it’s a bit vague. It does say though that she still went back to do her exams. (See 6th and 7th paragraphs).
The article is 15 years old so pre-Jack.

Daisy Garnett meets chef Allegra McEvedy

Allegra McEvedy has come a long way since being expelled from school and fired from the Groucho Club - for having sex in the shower. She's now married, is the culinary brains behind Leon, and has just published her first cookbook. She tells Daisy Garnett why Michelin stars are 'bollocks', and...

Good find! This quote made me laugh. She’s right, it’s all about Mission Inn Stars these days.

Slopbot is so very wise

 

[FizzWhizz]

Why does she tell the most pointless bleeping lies? No one cares if you have a toaster or not!
Also noted in that kitchen photo is a tumble drier. Those are very expensive to run for someone who can't afford butter.

I remember a long-ago tweet where she said she dried her clothes in the oven after it’d been on. Even back then it didn’t ring true — who wants their jeans smelling like plastic laden LM sausages/curry/horse spunk?!

 

[HotesTilaire]

I see to dry my clothes in the oven back in the day. I mean last century. Why is she from the 80s?
The oven needs to be on for it to work (and clean)

I also ironed my hair

Be kind

God. WHAT A BORE JACK MONROE is. Just sort yourself out you bleeping self serving lying witch. It’s embarrassing. One minute she’s got so much work .... next she’s on some new downer

good grief how does she not know that bleach gets rid of grout???? Is she trolling us

Jack could only dream of being that maverick

I see she’s moved the Christmas “season” white themed crockery into the kitchen and out of both of the dressers in the dining room! Wonder what colour themed crockery she’s got for the January “season”

She definitely tweeted a pic and said the residual heat was all she needed to dry jeans folded and stacked atop each other. The oven didn’t look clean either! Oh, for the foresight to have kept the receipt

My aunt used to iron her hair too! She once decided she wanted kiss curls on the side of her face so she taped them in place and had an allergic reaction to the tape, she had a red stripe with a perfect curl of unaffected skin on each cheek for about a week

Last time I was up to the early hours chatting shite, then eating all the carbs and cleaning excessively it was because I’d been drinking. Does that mean I have asthma?

Anyway do any “publicly available” account Fraus want to see if they can find the 30k ish donation she made to the Trussell Trust off the back of the Kickstarter? Should have been made in 18-19 financial year, charities publish accounts so....

There's nothing in the annual report or Companies House filing for 2018/19 - it only names donor where it's restricted funds.

Many years ago, I ate a Linda McCartney sausage roll that had a 2cm piece of hard white plastic inside it! They need to check their factory procedures. It's hard to understand how that can happen.

Are you Jack?

 

[Sausage Surprise !]

So, yet again, she bags a high profile brand partnership (and in the vegetarian food sphere it doesn’t come much bigger than Linda Mac) but a) doesn’t communicate anything about it ahead of time and b) decides to run roughshod over the announcement with some tedious bollocks about her time at Grange Hill?

Why can’t I start a new thread? Not on Jack but someone else, I emailed customer care few days ago but no reply

Edit - sorted

 

[Gentlemensrelish]

Does anyone else think she deliberately makes up and spews out the most ridiculous tit, intertwined with the tiniest kernels of truth, then sits back and thinks, ‘Have at it’ ...?

And logs onto Tattle.

I would think this except she's been on her bullshit as long as I can remember her on Twitter. She used to flounce more regularly though, I think, we haven't had a good flounce in a while.

I'm pleased you're here Fraus. I just got banned from a parenting Facebook group for not being kind Someone oh-so-innocently asked why more people weren't using cloth nappies from birth. Like, I don't know, pal, probably because after a human was aggressively vacuumed out of me, where it took a dump wasn't high on my list of worries. Goady fucker. I like it here where kindness isn't a requirement.

It's been a dry day on the internet between that and JM's grout issues. It's bizarre that she will lash out at squiggles saying she doesn't document her whole life on Twitter whilst tweeting about cleaning grout. She would tweet about watching paint dry if she could but SHE RENTS ACTUALLY.
