It may be wishful thinking but it just seems to me that since the veganuary/Linda McCartney affair, the tide of public opinion seems to be swaying in the direction of recognising a shameless, opinions-for-sale charlatan bullshitter when they see one.
Hello all, just catching up. I have had a few days in hospital (strange experience during covid, only person in a 6 bed ward and so, so quiet) Going in at the end of the month for an operation, new hospital this time, that will be 5 on the go at once. The NHS is bloody fantastic, even with my complex conditions they have never given up.

I have still been reading here, when I felt up to it. I'm appalled by her comments about cancer and centering herself in the Sarah Everard story. I stopped myself from commenting as my blood pressure would be through the roof. Though honestly nothing she says comes as a surprise, she is oblivious to how abhorrent her comments are.......and £400 for a scarf, more money that sense, more money than taste too.

You've all kept me entertained though, I was in the best place when I laughed up that lung. 😂

Good to hear from you. Keep well. At least you got to sleep in a empty ward. I’ve missed your wise words.

Since many of us are having a particularly difficult time at the moment for a variety of reasons, I thought perhaps we could have a good old-fashioned cabal dance party? Slopbot wanted to go back to his roots as after all, his sole reason for coming into being was to create slop. I had the idea of stealing the lyrics format from COVID bellend Ian Brown's 'F.E.A.R.' but, obviously, make it about our favourite genre of non-Newtonian liquid. It was a lot harder than I anticipated, I've almost certainly spent longer on it than Jack has on her upcoming book.





ETA: The double yolker 😂

Oh @traumatised sideboard this is supreme! Torn between reactions, I laughed and loved it in equal measure.
Deffo more time spent, and I appreciate it 100%

I was going to go for Jack's jugular but I thought I'd better keep her out of it (unless it's directly referring to onion crimes) so sadly I didn't get to use any of the following:

severe lack of principles
shameless living off patrons
small likelihood of postcards
sold lightbulbs, owned piano
suspicious late-onset piety
serial lawbreaker: onion penitentiary

I was trying to find a polite way to say the same thing! Glad you got there first 🤣

Ah James Tiberius Kirk, my first crush 😍 be still, my fluttering heart. Yes I am very old 🤣
If we are counting shoes I had a good old clear out some years ago & retained 63 pairs of shoes sandals & boots. Only one pair of (non fugly) trainers reserved for airport travel & summer dog walking 🐶🐶

Jack is still a major 🛎🔚, keeping it on topic dear hearts ❤❤

Regarding disagreements, is it better to say “I disagree because” rather than “you are wrong because”?

Sometimes the latter seems to spark conflict whereas the former could get the person reflecting?

Idk, I’ve had a fair bit to drink tonight and judt trying to work out how the “don’t use that name” and other things can be nipped in the bud without the usual 6-10 message tennis!

Edit: and I am genuinely asking rather than suggesting/tone policing.

As a matter of general interest, since mid-November I've been keeping a notepad file of the Jack Dictionary which lists every word or phrase she either doesn't understand or can't spell as well as those she has over-used to the point of absurdity. I've had to spoiler it for length. Such good at literal words, much 7x author 🥴
