I also discovered I was allergic after drinking a kiwi margarita in Lisbon...I have one pic from that entire weekend and it's a panicked selfie of my big swollen red face! Shame because kiwis are delicious.Ooh just be aware kiwi fruit is quite a common allergen. I started with vaguely tingly mouth from eating them (also fresh pineapple) - then it progressed to airways starting to close from the tiniest bit in fruit salad
(Ross in Friends also had a kiwi fruit allergy).
This had me hooting. It conjured up an image of Philomena Cunk. Can you imagine her interviewing Jack or reviewing one of her ‘cook’ books?...In the before times we used to go on holiday...
Looks like it was uploaded 3months ago.I (blessedly) didn't take in a single adenoidal word she said because I was entranced by her eye shadow. Slathering on a full eyelid's worth of brownish makeup is certainly an interesting technique. I have questions! Was this filmed before or after the Mrs Gloss obsession and, is this the origin of the shiny black eye stylings!
Love a bit of Cunk!This had me hooting. It conjured up an image of Philomena Cunk. Can you imagine her interviewing Jack or reviewing one of her ‘cook’ books?
To be fair she’s clearly seen Jack chopping an onion already...

She cropped up in my YouGov rankings thingy, and yes I very happily gave her the thumbs down! To be fair, about 90% of those ranking surveys are people and organisations I've never heard of. Like 'do you have a negative or positive opinion of the 42nd League Welsh Volleyball Association?'If I could be bothered I’d go through yougov to look at different dates

Massive red flagIt's the masculine aesthetic, innit.
Can anyone point me towards anything masculine about Jack, other that a denim shirt? What masculine pursuits does she take interest in? It proves to me that she thinks gender is a matter of what clothes you wear, a dressy up game. She does the trans and non binary community absolutely no favours.
I know that gender non conformity is a difficult subject, and no one knows what is going on inside her head; but the way she changes her pronoun, outfits and interests, to suit whatever topic is trending waves a great big warning sign to me.
I've just remembered, she had a fleeting interest in bridges and tanks. Of course there are no women in Civil Engineering or the Military.
Triffids don’t consume whole, they sting and then wait for the body to decompose. The probably have a gut full of acid of some sort, like a pitcher plant. So sorry but this is one of my favourite books and I have to geek at you. (I know they’re not real but the thought of Jack being chased by one is amusing)
I used to love this show! might have a watch tonight to reminisce about simplier times lolI remember seing that scene as a Dutch teenager and in translated well(I believe it was the Kupar family, trying to be seen as the Coopers (I can't find it, so perhaps it wasn't, haha). I was trying to describe the scene to someone recently, who had no clue what I was talking about and it warms my heart it getting a mention here!
ETA: Found it:
calling all John Wyndham fans- my much loved Chrysalids book. Price 20p! View attachment 497338
Ot: I have all these, brilliant writer. love the newer cover art on the penguin reprints. Think the chrysalids was serialised on r4 a while back. I tried rewatching the triffids as an adult but it was a difficult watch, time hadn't been friendly to the programme but I might try again for fun, think it was on YouTube.Count me into the john wyndham fan club!(yes i don't have a lot on today...)View attachment 497346
The timeline actually makes it all a bit stranger: her Mrs Gloss posts, and her makeup hoarding, came after that Guardian article, her very brief time on testosterone, etc. The HuffPo piece where she claimed to be growing facial hair is right around the time the Mrs Gloss posts started.She doesn't even seem very tomboy-ish either to me. It's like she's ashamed to admit she enjoys 'girly' things like make up and clothes etc. That's the whole point of the gender revolution, you embrace yourself!!! Nothing wrong with doing your face up, wearing sexy clothes and pouting about insta. We have evidence that she use to be quite happy doing this until she became a 'trans-activist' and at one point was transitioning (I'm not sure I 100% believe her authenticity on that).
She dives headfirst into the trending SJW movements, and now she's stuck, she can't show her old side off anymore as it's too much of a contradiction on the nonsense she spouts today.
(The Guardian article where she's dressed as a woman and a man is strange, she looks uncomfortable and aggressive in both guises)
Jack is always cosplaying, so gender is just another role for her. It doesn't even matter what she might really think she is, the point is that she is Not Like All The Other Girls.The timeline actually makes it all a bit stranger: her Mrs Gloss posts, and her makeup hoarding, came after that Guardian article, her very brief time on testosterone, etc. The HuffPo piece where she claimed to be growing facial hair is right around the time the Mrs Gloss posts started.
I don't pretend to be an expert in this field, and there are certainly frauen and herren here who know far more, but even from my outside POV, it seems pretty fucked-up. She amps up the gender stuff when she thinks there's money and/or publicity available, and that's it.
I also laugh a bit at the fact that every time she posts a pic of herself in a dress/skirt/heels she says something like, "Here's a rare sight!" Is it really? Her Facetune adventures always have very conventionally feminine results, too: bigger eyes, longer lashes, fuller lips, a narrower jawline etc.
The real problem comes when people see her as a representative, or - as happened in January - hire her to speak as an expert on gender issues. As with cooking, poverty, autism, and so many other things, she knows nothing, and she's spreading that nothing around and people take it as gospel.
Is that Sophie Conran?! Looks like one of those little dishes you get Charlie Bigham pies in (Jack has several of these also).I see 'not jack' has got out their Sophie conran Portmeirion dipping bowl to go with their Linda M dinner
But they were all presents, found in puddles or dug out of the bin behind Waitrose, Jack would never buy a Charlie Bigham pie herself.Is that Sophie Conran?! Looks like one of those little dishes you get Charlie Bigham pies in (Jack has several of these also).
Yes, good call actually! I had to Google that though as I've never looked at that particular ready meal shelf as they cost SIX BLOODY QUID.Is that Sophie Conran?! Looks like one of those little dishes you get Charlie Bigham pies in (Jack has several of these also).
