I would pay good money to see her on Mastermind. I wonder what her specialist subject would be?
Also, I may have missed this but - if she's close to a deadline for her next slop book what happened to her poverty book? Did that go straight on her pile of forgotten projects?
She said the big cookbook release has been swapped round with the pov book. Cookbook first, then pov book.

Why would someone 10 days from her book deadline NEED submissions from other people? And why would you need them if you were a genuinely frugal person?

Why are you writing a book you know nothing about you pleb

Sorry for not saving all my podcast comments for one big post, I got carried away with the ridiculous claims I was hearing in that awful nasal tremulous voice we have all come to love. There is one more anecdote from Isn't Jack Monroe Great: The Podcast I would like to share.

Did we know about the bailiffs being round four years ago in the middle of the Katie Hopkins trial? She says that she wasn't being paid her book royalties which resulted in the bailiffs came and when they saw her six-year-old son, crouched down and asked where his dad was. Her son said his dad was picking him up later so the bailiff said something to the effect of 'say goodbye to mummy then, you won't be seeing her again because she's going to prison for not paying her bills'. I wish someone would put her in prison. An actual prison, not Ruby Rose stand-in prison.

Right near the end when discussing her 'work' (pissing about) on Twitter, James O'Brien says she's underestimating her own importance. Hahahahaha. K.

I'm going to lie down now.
Bib that is one thing she never does!

Totally think it can go both ways with the buying stuff. Like how kids who aren’t allowed sweets will either go nuts in the sweet aisle as soon as they get a bit of pocket money, OR they’ll never touch anything with sugar in because it’s so ingrained in their mind. I reckon SB will never be able to touch an even slightly soft food when he’s grown up. No soup, casserole, not even cereal with too much milk
😂 So true. My mum was obsessed with Audrey Eaton’s ‘the F plan diet’. I hated that bleeping book & I still despise bran & raisins-my sister got to 16 and put on about 5 stone 😬
If anyone’s seen war of the roses, there’s a great scene where the kids end up overweight after Kathleen Turner says ‘I read about it, kids who are given sweets all the time don’t grow up to be obese’.

My specialist subject would be trying to click on any reaction other than ‘like’ on Tattle when the ‘copy/look-up/share’ always hovers over it in the way, and trying to click round it, and the whole thing being highlighted, then clicking like then unlike twice, then trying to quickly nip in *under* the highlighted text to click on laugh. Then leaving it a few seconds to see if the ‘copy/look-up/share’ has disappeared and trying the whole process again.

Where is this magic money pot coming from to pay for contributions when her rent bounced? :unsure:
She'll just send them a lengthy email about how utterly AWFUL it is that [insert random collection of injuries/harassment/illnesses/rent bouncing/stolen fees mean that she's not able to make payment RIGHT NOW and she'll pay them either when she gets the money she's owed or alternatively, they could have a FREE Patreon subscription where they only have to pay the bottom tier price for the top tier freebies.

Actually I can believe she was asked to be on celebrity mastermind, the BBC need four people for each show and the seem to make hundreds of episodes (slight hyperbole but you get me). Most of the contestants are neither celebrities nor masterminds, they’ve had Charlotte Crosby on there so the bar is clearly pretty damn low. Jack probably refused because the fee was too small.
