Your not

your not the guy thatching the cottage across the Lane from me are you. Theyā€™re having a hell of a day, pouring and gale force winds and the tarps blown off.
Thankfully not - but I feel for those guys. Thatching in this weather is nigh on impossible (itā€™s very specialised as well, Iā€™m definitely not an expert by any means!). Weā€™ve been going round in circles with our tarps today. Secure one, another blows a corner...I feel like Iā€™m in a bleeping Escher painting šŸ¤£

She wanted Mulberry to gift her a new bag, didn't she?
Unicorn cuffs and mermaid cowl she was knitting? She barely managed the Shreddies blanket! We get it, you bought the shiny self-striping synthetic eyelash fringe yarn.

"Wholesome" is the latest word to have its meaning totally twisted by the internet. It used to just mean, like, tomato soup with brown bread or The Waltons or family games of rounders, now it's cat memes, robots, and Jack Monroe? Leave the English language alone, you bastards. šŸ˜­

Ha, that tit was already past its peak popularity when I started knitting circa 2010, so I wouldn't be surprised if Jack discovered it in 2017.

Those tweets from 2017 are truly shocking - the level of lying and dishonesty is much more blatant and shameless. Also petty but she used 'y'all' way too much.

Here goes. The best of 2017 Jack, courtesy of the Wayback Machine. Broken pictures are due to problems with the archive. In any screenshot with multiple tweets, read bottom to top.

What was Jack like four years ago?

She had moved a mere 17 times...

...and she was pretending to be hygienic. We all saw that Del Monte chicken recipe! šŸ¤¢

Her arthritis was really bad - thank goodness that cleared up, eh?

Her Coming Out Scandal du jour? Prostitution.

This leads thematically to her best #ThatHappened of the time:

She still found time for a spot of begging, though.

She got drunk and destroyed her favourite bag:

Fair enough, she wasn't going to be able to afford a new one any time soon:

Oh dear.

View attachment 500410

A bit more begging, you say? Why not?

View attachment 500411

She got sick with an unspecified but disgusting illness.

View attachment 500412

...and she reminisced about her impoverished childhood. Too poor for an instrument, but not for ballet or karate.

View attachment 500414

Some things never change: she was as triggering as ever...

View attachment 500413

...and she couldn't spell.

That's our Jack:

Any final thoughts, Jack?

For someone who purports to be totes kerazy and unpredictable bcos puppy with hyperactivity she is remarkably consistent in being a whinging, grifting little toad. A bleeping decade of it. Change the record, Jack.

Slightly off-piste but I was bingeing Drag Race UK this week and IMO itā€™s so weird that for years sheā€™s been doing the middle-class-mummy live-laugh-love writing for the Express act when sheā€™s a young woman, and totally ignoring this contemporary stuff. She just doesnā€™t even mention these huge cultural phenomena which uplift and give voice to her supposed community. There were two non-binary contestants this year (one of whom was a walking personality disorder IMO but nonetheless the question of pronouns/gender etc was handled pretty nicely). Why just no mention at all from her? Iā€™m not saying she needs to watch EVERYTHING GAY BECAUSE HOMOGENEITY or anything, thereā€™s just, like, no engagement at all with positive stories?

I mean I get that sheā€™s BUSY writing the book that is literally six months late (*hyperventilates*) but sheā€™s got enough time to tweet shite and manage her vast empire of sock accounts. Almost like she doesnā€™t want anything to do with a show which promotes acceptance and understanding because she canā€™t peddle her ridiculous ā€œI am oppressed as a tattooed lesbianā€ tale.

I know some donā€™t (which is a whole issue for FSM in and of itself), but as sheā€™d previously implied they did serve and sheā€™s not mentioned a move in that period, I wondered if she was taking a temporary thing and wording it in her typical misleading way in her lives.
Working out what sheā€™s saying and what she means...and what the truth is...who bleeping knows!?

Iā€™m going to have to look back and see if I can find it in the way back machine but if anyone remembers when one of the card companies had UKwide (maybe even bigger?) issues and loads of card machines went down, I swear sheā€™d tweeted about her card being declined and it being triggering etc which fair enough, but she also said people were judging her - as if it wasnā€™t happening to most of the UK at that point.

Edited because Iā€™m incoherent today šŸ˜‚

I wonder if she's this outspoken in real life, and also if the stories from real life she does relay to us are a case of a fitting retort coming to her as she stands in the shower fuming hours later. She strikes me as the type who wouldn't say a thing to your face.

The shin-kicking I mostly believe though, seems her style, but in fairness if you are being assaulted or accosted by someone then anything goes to keep you safe.
She is extremely selective as to who she directs her ire at in real life.
