I LOVE that we have a Chard Truther in the cable. Out here getting those lies like it's whack-a-mole.I do hate to be a ...Chard Truther...but it's not a perennial so it only lasts a couple of years. So having it for ten years is odd.
I'm in the office today so will amuse myself with a rummage around in the Jack court stuff. Always a nice reminder of just how close she came to having the whole case go totally the other way...
She had a cheap weekend in Paris with her girlfriend. Would this be one of the holidays that she has never been on for 10 years?
typed on her mobile phone, yeah right, they had huge memories then
Dear God I’ve never read that before, it’s a whole “Play for Today “. Younger tattlers will have to google that.Her first agent allegedly stole several years of royalties from her first two books. She talks about it here but I strongly recommend Ctrl+F for "agent" because this is, even by Jack standards, unreadably self-pitying:
Poverty lingers a septic wound, choleric, stenching, bursting rancid all over your Sunday best.
You jest at scars, that never felt a wound, I muttered to my phone screen as an avatar of a sneering man stared back, his grainy face positioned just to the left of his barbed jab about why a ‘best…cookingonabootstrap.com
ETA: I don't like to go into conspiracy theories but it's worth noting that she had already left her first agent (the alleged thief) by the time her second book came out. Could be a contractual thing but always struck me as odd that this person stole her royalties from a book she had published while represented by someone else.
My bf introduced me to that with the one set in Greenock (Just a Boy's Game). I felt bad for a few days aftr watching that.Dear God I’ve never read that before, it’s a whole “Play for Today “. Younger tattlers will have to google that.
Fucking terrible pompous writing...Dear God I’ve never read that before, it’s a whole “Play for Today “. Younger tattlers will have to google that.
They were brilliant drama and made a lot of people think. I think Cathy Come Home was from them. Still relevant and worth a watch.My bf introduced me to that with the one set in Greenock (Just a Boy's Game). I felt bad for a few days aftr watching that.
Yeah you have to maintain your own sanity most of allI couldn't even finish that diatribe of self pity. I'm a faithful grunka coming late to this party but even I have my limits.
If only we could have swears in thread titlesFucking terrible pompous writing...
Bib surprised this hasn’t been a thread titleInteresting that the first receipt from 2018 said she didn’t receive any royalties after 2015 - that could suggest the contract didn’t pay ongoing royalties, in fact she might have just entered into a shit contract/ one that paid a lot up front but naff all into the future.
Also, she didn’t realise at first that she was due any money until she looked into it, so what about the other money she earned from appearances, tv, Sainsburys partnerships, writing books 2, 3 etc is she trying to suggest that’s all just pocket money that wouldn’t be enough to live on, except it was enough until she became aware she was underpaid?
Sounds like bollocks.
You can if you’re lucky with flights (and Jack has the benefit of being near Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton which expands the cheap flight possibilities and makes the Eurostar realistic if she was really lucky with prices) and stay outside of Paris proper. I don’t think Jack would be capable of organising it, but if she’d had a competent girlfriend at the time they might have been.No
I treated a mate of mine to a weekend in Paris because she had a really really shitty year about 7 years ago. I think it cost about 600-700 and that was as cheap as I could get it without it being depressing.
I wonder if what she actually meant was they’re not providing hot meals at the moment due to COVID, which I know some places are still doing (and could be actually worthy of a campaign from the FSM angle if she could be arsed).Weird to me, someone that’s had two 8-year-olds. When was this from, because in one of her lives last week she said his primary doesn’t have a kitchen?
edit: 2019. So unless he’s moved schools since then she said he has packed lunches, as school has no kitchen to provide hot meals. Weird.
She's need a patreon salary because she has no skills and refuses to admit she's shit at her chosen career. (and now she claims she does work for free as she donates all the fees to charity?)
She only dates well-off women so they probably just paid for something nice.I don’t think Jack would be capable of organising it, but if she’d had a competent girlfriend at the time they might have been.
Oh yeah if we had stayed outside of Paris for sure. Most of the cost was accommodation.You can if you’re lucky with flights (and Jack has the benefit of being near Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton which expands the cheap flight possibilities and makes the Eurostar realistic if she was really lucky with prices) and stay outside of Paris proper.
