Jack Monroe #169 Please don’t argue about turnips

[Pocahontas]

Congratulations to @Sideboard Bob for the thread title! I think this might be my favourite one Your prize: a framed print of Turnipbot (who wants to ask him nicely?)


Recap of last thread

1. Her Twitter was reactivated after a night’s break.
2. The burning issue of what a turnip is brought her back.
3. Behold her beautiful (rented) garden.
4. The BBC Big Book Weekend live happened. Bit meh, really. She didn’t know how to pronounce ‘culinary’ until recently. Apparently.
5. There’s a jungle on her desk. Also ... ‘housemate’.
6. Cooper likes tarts.
7. She mentioned her ‘boisterous puppydog ADHD’ and ‘yelled‘ at a photo of a Hyacinth in a bucket.
8. She deactivated her Twitter. But then reactivated it.
9. Spoiler: Housekeeping

Excellent recap as ever.

Managed to slice the tip of my finger on a tin of sodding pineapple! (Woolworths own brand, for the record)

 

[MaineCoonMama]

BBQ Hawaiian style chicken schnitty (chicken, BBQ sauce, bacon or ham, pineapple ring, cheese) Tasty but trashy because my Monday has been very Monday-ish indeed!

sorry, this is completely off topic but it made me think of Jack's boring AF Hyacinth Bucket chat last night. "Go watch some keeping up appearances or something".

Spoiler: tweet about police protests

I hope SB has a lovely birthday today.

She is the oddest of the odd that one.

If Jack is now deactivating Twitter overnight, what will happen to any political prisoners who need help at 1am?

 

[Emmapism]

A wonderful recap to start the day. Thanks @Pocahontas !

Happiest of birthdays @Vroo

Off to run some errands but will see you all in about 12 minutes

I hope SB gets a nice caterpillar cake too, not some slop baked by his mother!

Happy Monday, dear Fraus and a very happy birthday Aries Club @Vroo

Just wanted to show off my new avatar.
Were we going to do a star sign poll?

I really enjoy the mini chaos of clueless club, it was a fun way to end a thread lol, plus it really made me feel like part of a proper group, which I rarely get vibes of. I'm mostly making a point of Aries club because there does seem to be a lot of us (coz we rock innit) but also, knowing Jack reads here, just a little winding up, because she's a Pisces. No fish allowed in our club (petty, silly, twattish yes,but, it's tickling me)

 

[MaineCoonMama]

@orphanblack my husband is a Pisces along with my brother and his wife. I feel a bit left out sometimes.

ETA I'm a Cancer so I'm a bit sensitive anyway

this might be one of my favourite ever thread titles! thanks fedora-bot

(gemini here - according to my astrology friend i am the most gemini of geminis)

Happy birthday to birthday fraus today and belated birthday wishes to those who celebrated over the weekend!

It's mine tomorrow, so I'm Aries and so is Mr CWH (which apparently should be disastrous but we seem to cancel each other out)

The real question is, do I enhance my 2nd lockdown birthday with the nhsxted talk?! It surely can't top going into the first national lockdown on my 30th (not the type of memorable day I was hoping for)

Awh, I've got nothing against Pisces. I just don't like Jack! hahahahaha! Come little crab, you can ride on the back of the rams, use your little pincers to hold on tight!

(I'll stop now! Don't want to derail the thread with nonsense, as I am in a curious mood today...)

Happy birthday for tomorrow!

Don’t we have to donate for the NHS thing (which I am all for but could increase risk of )?

Any ideas?
