Jack Monroe #155 What a sad little life, Jack

[bladiesla]

I worked on an organic farm for three weeks when I was 15 and can't believe I've not put 'eco-agricultural specialist' in my Twitter bio yet

I mean, if she can claim to be an ex-foodbank user in her bio with just one visit (implied), I'm also an ex-roadie (helped a friend with the PA for a gig once), and ex-beautician (did my mum's eyebrows) and former event-coordinator (organised a charity concert few years back).

This brave penguin made it all the way to the northern hemisphere before sadly perishing. Nature is a cruel mistress.

At least it managed to have a last cigarette and leave a note before it left us.

I live next to a river, can I put 'Part-Time Otter' in my Bio?
Because dressing for the job you want, not the job you have would be great.

We were real poor and primark all the way! I am forever grateful my older 2 very much rejected local ‘designer’ faves like stone island and Burberry.
also admit I was momentarily taken in by that pic of Jackie at No 10, why is she not wearing traaazers tho??
edit to make sense

I was sat in the garden this afternoon, enjoying the sun and a cup of tea. I fell asleep (softly, gently), and upon waking, a Robin had alighted on my knee. ‘Bird? On TRAAZERS?!’ I yelled, causing the poor little fucker to scarper...

Can’t believe I’ve become a teeth truther, dedicate this to our thread dentist @TheDragonWithAFlagon

I’ve just googled and we’re meant to have 32 teeth. I counted mine and bizarrely only have 24 (this gives me anxiety - where did they go?). Jack claims to have 22... sorry but this bottom row is not the bottom row of someone missing teeth, I think she may be conflating needing 6 out with actually having it done

I'm just going to say it - disgusting slop Jack is my favourite Jack. It's never not hilarious.

Realise the discussion has moved on a bit but I took an interest in Camilla Batmanghelidjh / Kids Company etc. Having read 3 interviews with 3 different journalists at different times I noticed a common feature. Each interview was interrupted by an urgent phone call from a severely upset kids co client who would only speak to CB.
Funny that...

Also, I think she is confused. Yakitori is grilled chicken - togarashi is the name of the 7-spice mix.

Honestly, I often feel that this peel trend is a bit of environmental smoke and mirrors. People like to feel good about themselves for eating cauliflower leaf pesto and banana peel pudding while still driving large cars, flying regularly, eating food from the other side of the globe, buying shit fast fashion that will only last a month, etc etc.

I've a photo somewhere of me sitting in the pilot's seat of an RAF Nimrod on patrol when they kindly let me have a go at doing a few turns (the co-pilot was in real control!). By Jack's standard, I'm an experienced pilot; I've already done more bloody firefighting than her in two days on a course.

I had a Saturday job in Superdrug, so I hope everyone's grateful for the covid vaccine I developed.

Can we all pls take a minute to consider just how rancid her breath must be if she’s had an infected tooth she’s done nothing about for two years?

 

[MaineCoonMama]

The very first words in the ad are "Hi, my name's Jack, and this is my kitchen'.

Jesus wept.

Also I just noticed I've leveled up to Active Member. I had no help at all, pensioners yelled at my tattoos while my youngest cat asked for more tuna as I unscrewed my last bulb.

I feel like this hasn’t been posted in a while...

The Alamy website is a treasure trove of, erm, fashion...
https://www.alamy.com and search on her name. Some great traazer choices!

All those photos confirm to me that she thinks gender is all about clothes. It's all a dressing up game. Once again she diminishes the serious subject of gender non conformity and is dangerous to the cause that she is meant to champion.

Back (again) to the passing out parade. If she loved her job, was so interested in it she wanted to progress, and was so knowledgeable, she would have worn the skirt. We all make sacrifices for work, it's not like she never wore skirts, so not much of a sacrifice really. It clearly was a rebellious outburst that she thought she could get away with.

I agree that if true, forcing women to wear skirts in 2010, or whenever it was, was ridiculous. But you don't change attitudes and procedures by throwing a timmy tantrum. You change them by engaging with the Union to ensure that no one else has to make the same choices in the future. It's for things like this that the equalities legislation (though it's not without flaws) was created.

In her own words to her son "mummy is a girl sometimes and a boy sometimes" (though to me that is gender fluid not non binary, but ) Why could she not be the "girl sometimes" whilst going through the ceremony, and a "boy sometimes" when she returned to her daily work? Then she would have been able to take up the cause.

Waking up crying and screaming in the night? Like an actual teething baby? Bizarre

 

[DisgruntledGoat]

Urgh, what an opportunistic ghoul.

Imagine those cold, dead eyes on BBC Breakfast as she talks about the trauma she endured as a fire service worker, skilfully avoiding mention that she never left the call centre. It’s actually sickening. People died horribly and in the ham-fisted aftermath of government response people have lost everything, yet here she is pretending she can talk with authority about building regulations

Paging Jack Monroe!

How long until she deletes these tweets? Can’t afford butter but now listing all the stuff she has. Make it make sense.
