Wonder who she is talking about.

Loving the Luann energy <3

She thinks Nigella is so close a friend that she even called her Mom on Twitter! Yet I can never remember a time when Nigella has asked Jack around for one of her get togethers. Otherwise we wouldn't hear the last of it. She hasn't called over to Mary Portas's for a cup of tea and a bourbon. Matt Tebutt certainly hasn't contacted her for any social activity. It is almost as if they really don't see her as a friend at all.

She could have had it all........ (Now I have got Eve Gallagher in my ear all afternoon )

Baby in your arms at 17
You spend your life wondering what you might have been
'Cause love has turned to hate
But that ain't nothing new
You can have it all

And so she could have. What a waste of the most amazing opportunities for a mediocre talentless wanabee. She had chances time and again that many more talented people never get, and she squandered every last one of them.

Off topic but bloody ell @MancBee Eve Gallagher, takes me right back to Manto’s/Paradise Factory

Back to lurking but god, she’s still an absolute horror.

We went down the same detective route!!!

I'm slow off the draw today!

Surely more than two?

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.

Just out of curiosity - is this the same area that New Order are from? Because Bernard's description of where he grew up is so bloody bleak I actually thought he might have been joking?!? But reading these recollections make me feel differently.

In that article about her dad's house he was complaining about all the costs of fostering, including needing a bigger home. It claimed the council tax bill nearly doubled after the house was extended....this isn't true as council tax bands only change if the property is sold

Depends on LA. Here, you have a revised bill sent through as soon as you have planning permission granted.

 

[kachoochoo]

extremely boring, but one of jack's pals has been instigating beef with owen

whose side will she pick?!

 

[Captainmouse]

Doubt it. It would be a tit for tat scenario.

Thank(space)you, I wondered

 

[Lanie]

I started watching it recently to see what the fuss was about and I'd rather be forced through Dawson's Creek again (ew, not a euphemism) than sit through another episode of that nonsense.

My best mate used to love it she used to watch it all the time. It made me want to dig out my own eyes.

 

[FlashBoof]

I know we have some great tech brains here, as well as media and social media people too, so may I ask....Are 2000odd likes on twitter plus a thousand odd on Insta good rates of interaction? As they are both way below 1%, I would have thought not, especially for peak Sunday evening sharing. But I don’t know enough about the subject and would love to know more knowledgable Fraus thoughts.

 

[Squashedbanana]

could someone repost her apology tweet pls I can’t find it on here? Thanks in advance

 

[BananaSmith]

ETA: I'm now thinking of chocolate torte! If Jack posts a recipe for one, we'll know she's been reading.

That'll definitely stop any cravings!

 

[Orphan_Black]

I think they've all been watching Neighbours, there's a male couple who have used a turkey baster to get a lesbian pregnant. They're planning a co-parent situation, with the mum being more of a fun aunt than actual mother, whilst the couple are the main caregivers/parents.

Jack thinks she's Nicolette?! Naaaaaaaah.

 

[Lumpyspaceprincess]

That's cruel and unusual punishment!

Attempted murder?

 

[KingBabar]

Obviously on the way to get help

So near and yet so far

 

[Adayinthelife]

Unless you're in a soap, and then there's one solicitor on the square/street who handles everything from murder trials to business deals and divorces.

OMG do you think Richie is Jack’s lawyer?

 

[Captainmouse]

We saw this when she was constantly moaning about the disruption his home schooling was causing to her daytime naps work (ha!) routine.

How much close supervision did a 10 yr old require.? I’d imagine he’d just be left to get on with his zoom classes.

Probably the affect on the broadband was the issue

 

[Vanelope]

We'll let you in as long as you don't smuggle in any of Jack's food!

thank god - i love it there and I’ve been kept out last summer and probably this one too because virus. Can’t wait to get back for actual paella

 

[MaineCoonMama]

No offence but I hated the Gilmore girls I thought they were dickheads. There i said it.

Babe, same. I only watched it at the time because my housemate did. They talked too fast for me. So irritating.
