I initially misread (I have an ouchy head) but Jack will forever be known in my smol maverick brain as Jack 'cheap meat' Monroe

She got scared by youngsters at a festival. They were dancing in a dance tent.
She is 32 not 72 for goodness sake. Most people my age are more tolerant than her. Strange thing is, she expects tolerance off everyone else towards her though.
Oh yes, the stab vest at Glasto and the young'uns dancing (she was well under 30 herself at the time!) were scary. She's on another planet.
I had my son at the same age as she did, 16 years ago. I managed not to turn into an old lady. I didn't have the same experience through my 20's that my friends did but I didn't totally lose touch with what was going on around me.
I went with my mum to T in the Park and she didn't need a stab vest, she had an absolute blast and could have shown the young 'uns a thing or two.
Reader, she never did become cool.
Yes, absolutely x
In 2016 he’d apparently moved house 18 times. Yeah, right! He’d had to have moved every four months over that six year period.
She was actually 26 at that festival! Even worse! She's terrified of normal people. It's so funny to know all of this while comparing it to the butch, no-nonsense righteous warrior she likes to present herself as.She got scared by youngsters at a festival. They were dancing in a dance tent.

ooooh, shes so modest!
I started reading her on mumsnet but it was so bleeping boring...

I always assumed that a majority of the people at big music festivals were middle-class anyway - they're not cheap, these days!
Trying to imagine Jack's horror if she ever witnessed the scenes at T in the Park lol.
Once you've had someone pissing on your tent at three in the morning, everything else seems a bit tame eh?
Rolling up to the festival at 11am on the Friday only to find it like Night of the Living Dead.
There's a Mumsnet thread about the DKL stuff, and it's amazing but someone mentioned Jack doing a Zoom call on-air because she was 'immunocompromised' - anyone got any evidence for this? Would be hilarious if she'd said that considering she was live on the show a few times (and the chips run??)
or they have seen them and just don't want to use them...
Has she moved house with her son 18 times though? Has this ever been proved? Or has she just moved a lot, and then less with her child?
Nah she hasn’t written them yet!
Does anyone else suspect these characters in these tall tales do exist, but Jack as centre of the universe perceives they’ve somehow slighted her (not smiled back, not laughed at a joke she told them, etc) so she invents this huge tall tale to garner the sympathy she needs to recover from it? I don’t know if that makes sense but it’s something I’ve spotted in “my Jack”

Glasto certainly isn't what it used to be like back in the day. I've been a couple of times and have felt really safe there. The best thing about it is...it's outside. If you feel unsafe around someone or something you can literally just walk away!
Another one for the sick list.
also she’s a liar, that’s a tit thing to make up.
