Jack Monroe #178 I am a human being and I make mistakes

Someone call the Catalonion Police.

Their emergency number is a teapot.

Maybe Jack thinks she’s in a soap? She definitely has main character energy & definitely isn’t in reality a lot of the time.

What soap would Jack be?

I reckon she thinks she's Eastenders, but she's actually Brookside.

I dunno. I like @Eurgh ‘s version. Look......

FTFY!!!!

See? @Eurgh for the win!

When it comes to Jack, FTFYs are FTFYs, they are interchangeable.

I wish she would just admit one thing.

She hates food and wants to see it die.

My nana got pretty angry when an Aunt used instant mash for a traditional Patè Chinois, to be fair Nana was 4 foot 6 of angry anyway.

Isn't that the same as her?

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job. And heaven knows I’m miserable now

I wonder if he is her life guru?

I adopted a dog and discovered last night that she does a new moon chaos and howls at 2 am like some kind of reverse werewolf.

She's cute when she's not a beast though. Here she is hiding in a bush because parks are terrifying.

Uh, Jack is a dick but more people seem to be bored of her shit recently. #ontopic.

Does she ever kick leaves over her shit? Or is she basically an actual dog?

"Pointy things" just makes me think of Kendra in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, who called her special stake 'Mr Pointy'.

 

[Marj24]

@Marj24 that is the stuff of nightmares

Apologies! I still maintain there is more than a whiff of JM slop about it, perhaps the OG poster is a fan of hers? I have also seen something strongly resembling 'Brenda's Bangers' on Slimming Hurled x

She's a proper chundercunt. Can you imagine all the grease, grime and dust on all those utensils?

Does Grange Hill count?

What a callous tweet about SB poor boy, I hope he won't ever see that. It proves what we all suspected, she hardly every has him. Why have a child you don't then want to look after and spend time with? I've long felt she is quite unmaternal and so centred on herself that there is no room for him in her heart. Jack Monroe lives for Jack Monroe.

I agree with your post. Trying to be positive - at least SB is out of her clutches for a fair amount of time and has a normal life with his Dad.

Using the old cans to make fire hazards!

That's under Tin can handicrafts. A great Jack moment!

I know she sets herself up for it, but I do think L deserves a medal. Whens the next TV awards? We should really let her get one. I mean she puts up with ALOT and no it isn't a compliment.

Jack’s food alone counts as cruel and unusual punishment

Oh LJChrist imagine her teaching you to cook. “Well you take the pointy thing and be careful not to grab the ouchy end....”

How hot was the Priest though. Antonio?

I bet I Google him now and he looks like a tanned ballsack.....

Father Antonio was gorg. Totally would.

Absolute works of art they were! Damien Hirst should be quaking in his boots.

I think DM has got more for their money than LM or Hellman's got.

Love the way everyone involved in this conversation has studiously ignored Jack's emoji ~contribution~ to it. One like so far, from some random.

I suppose it depends on context. Most of Manchester and Salford inner city was council housing, and the closure of docks, mines, steelworks and factories made many, many people unemployed. Poverty was everywhere. We grew up in the 60s concrete nightmares that were Hulme, Beswick, Ordsall, Salford Precinct, Collyhust etc etc. If you've never seen photographs of these places before the 90s redevelopment, I suggest you Google them, they were unbelievable. Hulme especially had been abandoned by the council and had been taken over by anarchists, while ordinary tenants tried to live amongst chaos. I grew up in view of the docks, which became more and more run down and derelict. The dereliction was everywhere.

Morrisey, in contrast, grew up in Trafford in a semi detached owned property in a leafy suburb with a librarian mother (a middle class sort of profession). I never met his father as he had left before I met him.

But like Jack, they were far better off than most of his contemporaries at the time.

God, hulme was something else back then, as was Salford precinct. The docks are all lovely now, but for many years they weren't. I went to Salford tech before getting a job at hope hospital where I worked with someone who knew Morrissey's family. They didn't have a great opinion of him even back then.

I think you know where I come from, and a solidly working class family but only a couple of miles away was little Hulton which is where the Salford overspill got dumped after the war and that was a tough area.

She not identifying with being male anymore then?

My child is only slightly older and is literally no bother. I certainly don’t need huge breaks from her, it’s more it’s good for her to go out, it’s not for me

She’s also implying from it she has him all of the rest of the time, which from what she herself has said in the past I suspect isn’t true. Which would sting even more for him.
