Jack Monroe #171 Just discovered her and think she’s horrid

[Vanelope]

Omg John Toad is the same. Cannot stand it. The audacity to correct traditional cooking!

John Toad! He is! That’s his name now

 

[waffle maker]

I’ll be cringing all day about #marcusmate so very embarrassing. No chaos for us- we can keep an eye on mystery kitchen though.

I’d love to buy a slopbot print @traumatised sideboard

@MaineCoonMama fingers crossed for the test

@Shawads To poorly little shawds

The current lockdown rules allow us only to stay away from home unless it is necessary to do so for work, medical appointments etc.
I guess if it is for work then it might be possible.

Rules don’t apply to smol Ickle pixies, as demonstrated countless times during the last year, travelling hither and yon.

Social media in today's world gives everyone a voice. So what she does in regards to campaigning is no better than others. She just has a slightly bigger following, however she often doesn't have the engagement to compliment it.

Today everyone's an activist, everyone can shout for justice but not many people actually DO anything about it. That's where I get annoyed. Where's all the lobbying, where's all the endless letters to MPs, where's all the activist campaigning that our forefathers did where they actually worked for change and not just shook their fist at the injustices of it all.

 

[Marmalade Atkins]

I hope she hasn't moved, she posted that pic of cooper outside looking in a few days ago. She should be keeping him inside if she's moved house.

Of course, she'll have completed that mate.

That photo was taken from the dining room in the shitty bungalow.

Wow that’s a beautiful cake (Nikki’s!). I’d never heard of Nikki Lilly, just googled and she has made some lovely stuff.

 

[Bombastic]

[Captainmouse]

Also as per, he was ‘A thing’ a couple of years ago in papers and such and she’s only just realised

You sound surprised, has she ever been on time?

 

[CabalofBolorneaise]

Whenever Topical Jack appears I always think it's less to do what's in her DMs and more to do with the Brexit Tin Thief offloading about whatever's gone on at work that week.

I always think she’s overheard BTT talking to a work colleague/friend about the topic and has desperately wanted to leap in and offer pearls of wisdom (in bites of 280 characters) but couldn’t so appeals to Twitter to ensure next time BTTs conversation can’t go un-hiJacked.

 

[MaineCoonMama]

Oh, sweetheart!

It's for smaller hands, my mum used to have a lot of women's garden tools because she was tiny and they were easier for her to use.


Nope, you would have to be extra stupid to come to Scotland right now. We are not even allowed to go between regions and police are definitely fining people for breaking regulations.

Here is another baby Boudicca!

Oh my goodness!! So pretty like a princess.

 

[Sideboard Bob]

didn't it happen a day later last month?

It did yes! I’ve just checked, last full moon was 27th February and GoHenry chaos was the 28th!

 

[StringyMango]

Exactly! Reminds me of an anti-vaxxer who recently wished for some way of strengthening the immune system by exposing it to a tiny bit of Covid-19.

Can we have an "Oh FFS" Emoji please.
This is beginning to feel like being at work.

Spoiler: Really annoying hair

My hair is fine but "there's a lot of it" as my hairdresser mum used to say. It also has a bend to it, not quite a wave, and goes its own damn way, regardless of any styling products or tools. It was bright orange when I was born then went blonde, and then a reddish-with-sun mid boring brown. I was rather excited when I started getting really white at the temples with a few strands in the rest of it and rather wavy. At last I could just put a dye through without bleaching so I could have just a few strands of pink or purple or aquamarine or red or whatever!

Refuses point blank to take any colour at all in the grey hair. Bah. I don’t want natural colour roots and strands, I want weird colours without bleach!

My mother only really went white in her 80s so I've a while of boredom before then.

 

[emm]

ugh everything has to be some kind of drama, why the hell would you get your young son to dye your hair when you can do it yourself?

 

[EllaEm87]

My youngest when he'd having an outburst always likes to shout "NEVER" always makes me chuckle.

I’m going to teach my future offspring to talk in “Jack pretending to be Norn Irish on Twitter” and see if my family catch on.

Like herself, they’ll be half English and living in England so I feel the battle may be lost.

ETA JACKS NOT HALF ENGLISH IS SHE?

 

[Hollaaa]

Yep, in Scotland there’s still a ban on crossing local authority areas unless for work and essential reasons.

Jason Manford has been up here filming a gameshow last week, then arrived back for week 2 of filming last night, which has annoyed me greatly. Still, more technically 'work' than bashing away on Twitter and disposing of Nutribullets.

 

[Suffolkmum]

I don’t think I’ve ever been so glad I blocked her. Are we anticipating a Johnny Morris phase ? (one for the older ones there)

Can you imagine that voice doing talking animals!

 

[CabalofBolorneaise]

Not sure if someone else has mentioned this but I just had a thought about the mysterious blue kitchen. Last time lockdown was slightly lifted she went straight to her "second home".

What if her happy place is... Scotland?

I think that would still be actually illegal, not just questionable. Whether she’d care given previous implied law breaking for papers and chippy is possibly an entirely different question though.

Thinking of you @MancBee hope all goes well!

 

[Flibbertigibbet]

That literally sounds like Jack herself wrote it, she’s found her soul Squig there

"most excellent" and "characterful" - is Jack going American again? Mom Jack was not a great success the last time.
