I have to say I have succumbed to a few ‘buy me a coffee’ or subscribed to a patreon for a couple of months at a time for podcasts I like but I would die of shame before asking strangers for money.

RSM is putting Jack to shame in terms of this at the moment, and you just know Jack is watching jealous. I expect that seeing the “success” means that Jack will start up with the tip jar rattling again v soon.

ETA: I also don’t think it was a coincidence that the wheelchair emoji appeared in Jacks bio while RSM had a GFM for one going.

Evening everyone, just popping in to say I’m 36 and a half and I found my first grey hair last year on July 18th. It was thick and white and wiry and I yanked the bastard straight out.

Was just gonna say this!!

You’re 10 years older than me and only just found your first? 🥲 some people have all the luck lol in 6 months time I’m going to be full on grey

OT that proud looking young goat has the cutest underbite!

Re: the autism guy. Is this the one that does all those posts describing completely average day to day quirks that lots of people do and saying neurotypical people will never understand this eg. Used to line my toys up, like my books in alphabetical order, don’t like my beans touching my fried egg type of thing? Jack likes loads of his tweets if this is the same person?

Yup, Pete wharmby. He pisses me off too and is also a bit of a grifter who recently jacked his job in to try and make a living out of being autistic online. Most of his threads end with him sending folk to his thing where they give you money for coffee.

He was one of the few people who had a long line of disorder letters after his name and he quite frequently comments on Jack's posts.

I was thinking it could be a cover-up because they've only posted some avocado slices in a box - couldn't see the kitchen but it's an interesting development...

Funny enough last I looked at notjack the pic showed a tiny catering size flora vegan which I thought was odd, being in a hotel might explain that

I was just scrolling Instagram and noticed that Chetna Makan had done a 30 minute live as a discussion between her and a patisserier. Around 3500 viewers compared to Jack's pitiful non-canal few. Not even a recipe or a puffed partnership, just a conversation.

Chetna’s just done a YouTube recipe for Waitrose of chocolate cupcakes with marshmallow frosting that look delicious and worth trying c

Thank you it makes me laugh @Bombastic . If you want to see the space station tonight I think it's going over at 8.58pm. Other times here too xx 🔺️ - I'm not in Cardiff (just in case of smol pixie and flying monkeys, innit !? ) https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/sig...ingdom&region=Wales&city=Cardiff#.YF-LesynydN

thank you dear heart! gotta tell you you triangulated me pretty close, my heart beat faster for a minute!

 

[Flibbertigibbet]

We went for the same inspo pic @Flibbertigibbet

It's just so Jack, @squiffle - she can't just salute the sun, it has to be an appropriated political gesture!

 

[StringyMango]

Good luck @MancBee. Here's to a smooth op & recovery X

 

[Powershower]

Yes! It's about how you spend money isn't it? This definitely screams yummy mummy. More money than sense. That Harry Enfield sketch I Saw You Coming

My living room rug cost me £80 from Dunelm which was about an expensive as I was willing to go. And I can clean it which I find is always a bonus.

Exactly!! I’m not begrudging her the rug but everything she has either has a story, bought at a festival, gifted by a friend or it’s JL. It’s never “oh thanks, it’s from matalan etc”

I remember back when she still seemed credible to me and got a lot at wilko but

She boycotted Wilko at one point.

edit: she goes through phases of promoting brands (wilko, Asda) obviously trying to get their attention. Doesn’t work and she moves on.

OHH! Any particular reason or was she just being maverick

May as well add, 'Stay off the moors, stick to the road!'
You never know, someone may need to hear that today.

Cueing up the Warren Zevon as we speak ...(40 years old this year )

Are Southend schools on Easter holidays yet? If they are, that would mean it's likely the kid is off spending the next week at home with his father. Plenty of time to do things she's far more interested in - like pissing off to a girlfriend's (happy) place for twelve days.

Yes schools here are on Easter holidays now

@MancBee you handsome devil! Glad you also had the strength not to do a Jack and claim that you are a famous chef, actually, and you could make much better slop than the hospital kitchen. I know people who went a bit loo-laa after coming round from anaesthetic - temporarily, thankfully, but my gran-aunt's belief that all the doctors and nurses were in the KGB was very entertaining!

My dad reacted to morphine; I remember visiting him after one of his hip replacements and he kept pointing out all the fairies that were flying around the room. I've never had anything as interesting though I did get cocaine shoved up my nose before my sinus op.

 

[People-huv-tae-know]

This pic is a week old (posted on Twitter last weekend). She must be bored.

Or what is she trying to prove?

 

[colouredlines]

All up in Paolo Coelho's niche. That's our Jack. 🤍

An iced dinky is a cake in Liverpool. It has very thick pink icing and a fake smartie on a large cupcake.
This could be the origins of fanny cake

Did we cover Mikado biscuits when Jack was Irish that time? They are outrageous looking!

I don't think Mullets are back in my choice it's most likely lack of hair dressers mixed with needing/ doing a DIY trim.

Is she looking a job at m and s with the seductive flowery words?

 

[Hollaaa]

I do too and also get that, but I bet if any article had spelt Jack as Jac or Monroe as Munroe, even one where she was mentioned in passing, she’d have been straight on Twitter kicking off about it. So I’m a bit surprised none of the ones with the wrong spelling have been amended and she doesn’t seem to care.

It's surprising for someone with narc tendencies, who sees everyone through a lens of 'what are they in relation to me/what is their use to me?' - fanny cakes being a prime example of this.

 

[Flibbertigibbet]

I’ve just realised - wasn’t it blue before? Has she actually spent time and realised MR plays “kickyball” for a team who play in red with a rival team who play in blue and changed accordingly?

(I would vastly prefer this to her trying to co-opt the Grenfell green heart)

I thought it was because she's (Norn) Irish now.
