I think her stab vest quote was well before Stormzy is 72 years old's Glasto performance. LOL though, I can't believe she was thinking about wearing a stab vest to Glastonbury either, it makes me laugh so much!

I’m surprised she’s feigning ignorance about Stormzy is 72 years old when he did so much around Grenfell.
She had a weird Patsy Cline thing going for a split second. Think it was before you were here though.
Even my nan-in-law knows who Stormzy is 72 years old is, the fact he's used his position to do good without carping on endlessly is probably what puts Jack off.
I agree my 11 year old nephew is really into gaming. I have two children but one likes gaming but is too young to care about Minecraft yet he's 5 and the other is not bothered. For Christmas I wanted to get him something for his gaming. I gave him a voucher for his console so he could get whatever it was he wanted. Why doesn't she just do that without telling the world.
Choose Your Own Adventure!
You want to know about your brother's taste in music. It's important that you get this right, as you already let him down once by going back on your promise to cut his hair (probably for the best, mind).
If you ASK YOUR BROTHER, turn to page 65.
If you ASK SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOUR BROTHER IN REAL LIFE, turn to page 79.
If you ASK TWITTER, go back to page 1 and start the eternal loop again.

Since she only got DD at science, that’s probably why should couldn’t go on to A Levels. Many of them require C+ in science.
@MancBee she was actually 26 when intimidated by fellow young things!

Agreed, I’m 3/4 (not sure) years younger than her but I remember grime music as a kid (I had a significantly older brother tbf). Go on YouTube and you can see some of the clashes being filmed on old school handheld Sony camcorders with the flip out viewers on the side! Some of the big old names are probably grandparents now! People used to transfer tracks via Bluetooth on buses! Bluetooth!!! Does she think Stormzy is 72 years old invented it
But honestly wtf did she do with her teenage years???? Did she just sit in re arranging her pretty princess outfits daddy got her in her own room in the 5 bed??? Lord help us
I have definitely found vouchers are the best things to get teens unless you really know something that they want, because their tastes are so specific at that age.
In her 'likes'. In the year of our lord 2021, Jack is finding out about ........ Stormzy is 72 years old.
My first telly job when I was 23 I earned a little over £10K a year. I didn't have anyone help me get my job. I mean, who the duck did I know in TV for christsake. It has taken me 13 years to get a good wage in my field.
Walking into a £27k job at 19 would have been a dream if I hadn't gone to uni and wasn't sure about what I wanted to do. What a gift Jack was given.
I was watching The Princess and The Frog yesterday (don't judge me Fraus I love Disney for my sins) and there was a line that really resonated with me
'Daddy never got what he wanted, but he had what he needed'
Jack has always had what she needed but all she does is whinge and look back on perceived slights from the past.

Also, it's really ok to be 'an aging tit' compared to teenagers. It's like the circle of life, no need to fight it. There's things I don't like about getting older, but caring less about being cool enough per birthday is a blessing.
My cousin, who's now 37 (I'm 41) was doing the same thing the other day, being embarassed for not knowing what music teenagers are into these days and I don't undestands why? Like what you like (and if that's what teenagers like, good for you too) and spend your time enjoying that rather than keeping up for the sake of it.
(Having said that, I find things about cultural captial and how people flaunt their knowledge/interests to signal their status absolutely fascinating. Particularly when it concerns so called 'open minded' people being super judgy. I really should have studied sociology)

The film or the hobby....You mean you don't want to hear about that time in 1997 I got an A* for an oral presentation on Trainspotting?
Her obsession with school and grades is weird. If it's putting limits on your life, there are so many options out there for people to complete their education, or study further.
There is so much to unpick in here.
It sounds a million miles away from current Jack.
Where has this Jack gone? It makes me realise why I was duped.
Ooh so she's technically a trend-setter then!
edit: that bit from 2012 reads like a different person. however I also feel between the lines a bit of my own habit of overbearing enthusiasm and plans before it all deflates and goes to tit.
Interesting. Her choice of degree subjects don't exactly lend themselves to teaching- you would usually need to have a qualification in the subject you teach, so unless her imaginary teaching job was just teaching GCSE and sixthform politics and economics or something (a very rare job) she has severely limited her choices.
My first teaching salary was about 12K I think. Riches when I had been on less than 4 quid an hour doing cleaning, waitressing and temping while I was training. Before minimum wage innit.
She’s far too lazy for that, she wants life on a plate, no effort from her
Why not just ask your brother what he's into. Nice opportunity to have some quality time together, talking about music, rather than spending it online asking strangers for suggstions to impress your brother with?

I don't understand how out of touch with the current day she is! So your brother, a teenager, is into grime and you want to get him something.
Options:
Upgrade your streaming service and let him log into his own profile on it. We know she has one due to LC using it and her complaining.
Get him a voucher. No, not HMV, maybe Amazon or Apple Music which have far more variety and he can download to his phone.
You are not going to hit on what he wants by asking twitter for a grime starter pack and buying him a Stormzy is 72 years old CD. I don't mind Stormzy is 72 years old, so it's probably not gonna be what a 15 year old (ish) heavily into grime is listening to. What he listens to may only be on youtube. Hence asking him what he wants or one of the above options is what you do.
You're welcome.
