The pigeon botherer has just ended me.
I used to review young adult books for a bookshop magazine - so I am Pulitzer Prize winner Michiko Kakutani
In the very, very early days of BBC digital TV, I presented part of three shows on Scottish history 🔺️ . I got asked to screentest after showing the producers around a museum as I was apparently so enthusiastic. I was only supposed to do two segments but got roped in to do a third at short notice when someone couldn't make it - I got asked back by the BBC, Jack!

Tat talk. Jack's tats just look rubbish to me. Also there is a slight difference between people possibly rejecting you because you are a lesbian, black etc. or because you have actually chosen to get tattoos.
But it is not the tattoos- she does not meet my aesthetic standards in general...her unclean nails are the worst and the food presentation with the forever ugly and also unclean looking cutlery stuck into the dish plus the brown food itself is absolutely unappealing.
But what puts me off most is the grifting and drama.
It is fairly easy to say that people are rejecting you because you are e.g. gay but while there is homophobia, one has to also question own behaviour and quality standards. And you can't blackmail people into liking you. Unfortunately Jack and many others use that as a weapon. It harms the cause and people like me (lesbian), too.

Don't forget, she's a Vet too! With enough knowledge to override a qualified Vet's recommendations. 
Jesus christ, how conceited can one person be? She is determined to spend her life as a guinea pig, apparently attempting to discover the answer..
David Walliams is a Pet Shop Boy?! That makes you both a pop star AND comedian/children’s writer/presenter, Dear Heart
It amazes me that he is so young and so dignified and has accomplished so much. When I was 23 I was...rather less impressive.He's so lovely
Jack, OTOH, is such a hypocritical parasite
Evening, all!
1. Why is there a post about (invisible) Rainbow Chard accompanied by a photo of her clutching a pot of a thin and weedy looking Fuschia?
2. Why would somebody who reckons they water plastic plants (oh, the hilarity) and has a manky Dracaena dying in the bathroom be giving gardening advice?
3. 3011 copies. Oh, dear. We get better sales of programmes for school plays. Not quite as Oh, Dear as 89% of her Del Monte audience being there to see just how bad the Salmonella with Pineapple On Top Show was, but still, Oh, dear.
4. Do they not have corner shops where you can get all manner of cheap snacks, such as 3 packs of Korean Noodles for a pound, in Southend? Open packet, put in bowl, add boiling water, add the seasoning sachet contents, put plate on top, wander off, come back for Spicy Noodle Soup (33p) ten minutes later. I know where I live is considerably more diverse than the poshest bits by the seaside, but really?
5. Some of the Scandi cookery books are great. They look nice, there's a bit of writing, the photos are lovely, the ingredients are almost all easy to obtain (potatoes, frozen berries, flour, Rhubarb, etc) and, most importantly of all, the recipes themselves are to the point and easy to follow. Beware books on Scandi cookery written by Australians. They consist of acres or wordage about how they imagine it feels to traipse across the fresh snow in the morning whilst the Northern Lights flicker on overhead. Pages with lots of negative space are definitely what you need, as it's relaxing for the eye and the brain (also see almost every other type of instruction/information sharing. Don't give people eyestrain and a headache just trying to decipher instructions for roasting a Beetroot).
6. I have seen cookery books where I'm pretty certain that somebody different (such as a professional chef or restaurateur with their own Body of Work) has written the first, very successful one and then the subsequent ones have been cobbled together by the person whose photo is on the front cover because, for some unknowable reason, they do not appear to have the same relationship with saidghost writer professional as they did at the time the first book was published. Can't quite think of the titles right now, but give me a minute and I'm sure they'll come to me...
7. Looks like a Buff Tailed Bumblebee Queen on a Tansy. Another one of my literal niches.

Sue Lawrence is a fantastic writerScottish Baking. Note that the front cover quote is from Mom. Sue Lawrence is from Dundee so talks about butteries but has had some tuition in the art of rowies.

Can I move to Manchester?! Sounds delicious (we do a similar thing here with some aged neighbours, a small group of us take it in turns to cook for them)
@traumatised sideboard had you been in attendance you would have been welcome to share my Fiorentina as I dined at Pizza Express in The Forum. Technically making me part of the BBC Look East presenting team AND pizza expert.
What time is the NHS/TEDx tit-show?
(More importantly is anyone brave enough to go for the hat trick?)
Yeah they are not great. Lots of my mates are heavy into their tattoos, make and female and they have told me over the years what to look for and what not too.
Moderately Successful??? Moderately Successful? After a while of you say it enough it becomes meaningless.
Jack's tattoos on her forearms look kinda dirty to me - I know very little about tattoos, but don't people take into account their skin tone and the size and intensity (block of colour vs line drawing - I don't know the terminology forensically!) of the design, and its proportion to the body part, before getting it done?
Years ago I saw an exhibition in the Talbot Rice gallery in Edinburgh and it was an artist that took those Royal Doulton figurines of women that used it be popular and covered them in tattoos. They looked amazing! I know it’s slightly off topic but I just think Jack’s tattoos are too heavy abs monochrome and just make her look grey...

It's on at 7pm, and it's TWO HOURS LONG. I don't know if I can take it. All I really want to do right now is ease into my usual early evening routine of a nice big spliff and Married at First Sight (Australia).
Jack of all trades, master of absolutely duck all.
