Jack Monroe #169 Please don’t argue about turnips

[MaineCoonMama]

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?

Yes, absolutely! lol

A good artist will look at the shape of the body part, texture of skin and muscle movement etc.

Jack of all trades, master of absolutely duck all.

Her Wiki says she chose the name 'Jack' for that very adage!!!


Oh. The. Irony.

She does realise it’s not a complimentary phrase?! Right?!

I imagine whoever did Jack's gently suggested all of this, but she insisted on dipping her arms in a bucket of ink sketches anyway.

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).

I think I speak for all the cabal when I say please have a massive spliff then watch Jack and do the running commentary stoned of your noggin.

It's what Viv would have wanted.

David Walliams is a Pet Shop Boy?! That makes you both a pop star AND comedian/children’s writer/presenter, Dear Heart

you will never guess who was sat just by them....it was not Henry...it was...David and Samantha Cameron

I’ve always imagined she was as impulsive with them as she is with her tweets and her phases (plants anyone?) and probably just decided at 1pm on a Wednesday she wanted a tattoo right then so went to whoever was accepting walk ins which is not a great way to get a good tattoo.

It would be the ultimate buzzkill though .

Here comes the FEAR.

Well I’m not watching it, I can’t stand her.

It is my turn to make diner for the people in the four flats on our side of the building today. I am making Moussaka main, with a chocolate orange trifle for pudding (sod off Jack with your manky packet crap). I am so pleased it was my turn on this day of reflection. I plate up the food and leave it on each doorstep, they then all come to the doors to collect it.

Has Jack done anything community spirited like that? No, thought not. (I am not sure the neighbours would want her food to be honest)

As I am cooking for other people, can I call myself a chef?

Absolutely!

Don't feel like you have to watch @Veronicaaa

It will be the same old shite!

Mr PJs have been sucked in MAFSA, we’re on season 6. It’s awful and fantastic at the Same time....

Two hours is a lot for Jack to cope with, surely?

Far too much for anyone to take, let alone our precious @Veronicaaa.

I genuinely cannot listen to her at all anymore so wouldn't expect anyone to endure two solid hours of it.

Yeah and I'm thinking it will probably be available for everyone to see after a couple of days? So you can fast forward most of it and not put yourself through the entire thing.
Hey check me out, getting all up in Jack's niche by being extremely lazy and just bodyswerving all my commitments.
(It's almost 7pm so I'll start it and see how long I last I guess).

 

[Bobtheknob]

I’m like Jack, I have no talents or special skills!

 

[Jay-cloth Cow]

I was dancing in the background in a Pet Shop Boys video, so I am moderately successful as a professional dancer.

Similarly, I am a moderately successful backing dancer - I was in the audience of Top of the Pops and when the camera panned a teenage Jay-cloth could be seen bopping away to Nelly and Kelly Rowland.

 

[Knit one Pearl one]

I knew those frozen vegetables peelings, blended in a nutribullet, would come in handy someday.

Absolutely! I've formulated it myself but I'm sure it'll be fine

I predict a wifi fail halfway through that takes her out for a nice break if she’s expected to be “on” for all of it.
