Jack Monroe #184 Jack Monroe's Big Book of Boak

[Billybellend]

She had her grand "My name's Jack Monroe and I'm an alcoholic" Guardian moment in January 2019. That was a good few years after the David Cameron tweet. I'm sure she had previously given up drinking in 2017 - there are lots of mentions of it on her Insta - but it didn't stick I guess.

In chronological order, her dramatic Guardian coming out articles go: poor, trans, vegan, alcoholic, autistic.

Incidentally, in compiling that I accidentally clicked on something that truly is a depressipe: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/oct/29/jack-monroe-pumpkin-sultana-scones-recipe

How are they scones? They're about 5mm tall FFS!! Trade Descriptions will be wanting a word...

They look as dry as Mrs. B’s sense of humour

It's really bad. I have a close relative who died almost 20 years ago, who was well known in his field. A couple of years ago a magazine decided - without telling any of our family - to name an award after him. First I knew about it was when the award announcements popped up on my twitter feed. It was really upsetting. We got in touch with the editor who (eventually) changed the name of the award. I understand that the decision to name the award after him was done to give the awards the veneer of, idk, respectability or something, but there was absolutely no thought about how it would affect his family to appropriate his name like that.

Wow, that's so bad, I'm sorry your family had to deal with that . Some days the world just deems filled with vultures.

Fab recap and poll

Question.
Which Marcus?

Marcus of kicky ball fame or Marcus that looks like @MancBee?

Good question. I'm going to go with our kickyball hero because Marcus W is already on the list in another guise

Sorry I know I'm going back a while, but Jack's curly hair vid haunts me. Like she's almost manic in it. Like the smirking alone freaks me out, *what is she doing with her face* Her manic grin before she does her sexy pose at the end. Like good for you but it's hardly rocket science is it?

This is the most fun I’ve had in years an amount of time I do not want to disclose.

ETA trying to find a “limited edition” bowl but not having much luck. They are all Habitat ones circa 1998.

To paraphrase Gordon Ramsey "Fuck me. Those eggs are so undercooked you could probably still hatch the fuckers".



Wasn't mummy making weird bacon brownies the other day?

Recipe won't be around for a while? Ya don't say.

List! List! Add it to the interminable list

This thread is life.

There's bread in them too. Turkey mince, onion, bread, flour, rinsed-then-boiled beans. Served on a tin of chopped tomatoes.

I’m CRYING. This is comedy gold

I furiously cracked an egg into a cold frying pan, turned on the heat, and added a lick of lard and plenty of black pepper.

This ruined me. I really needed a laugh this morning, thanks

Do you know what? I dont care where Jack is bit I do wonder about Cooper and the rabbit. Where are they?

 

[Clovis]

Jack is the Tom Hardy of the blogger world. The amount of different looks she's had is astounding, reinvented herself more than Madonna!!! You look at some pics of her and it's unbelievable it's the same person in all of them.

I said it in an earlier thread, but the ever changing back story and imagery reminds me of Zelig.

 

[HotesTilaire]

Did this ever happen?

There’s a list of Jacks coming soons in the wiki. You may notice how few of them have in fact arrived at all.

.


GQ probably wiped the footage at Marcus's request! (speculation m'lud)

@Marj24 I love your changing Cheshire Cat avatar!
On topic - Jack can’t cook

 

[CabalofBolorneaise]

Why do they have to be pickled in cooking oil and dried mixed herbs?

Because that’s what LJC had in the back of the cupboard

@Droosie123

I'm sure her family are looking after them or, at least, they've been fostered or rehomed. The rabbit is not living its best life with her by a long chalk.

FFS. Of course she's 'been there, got the Tshirt'

 

[Shawads]

Jack’s Twitter ‘Normalise sobriety’ I think she needs to change her social circle I am not teetotal but sobriety is very much the norm with the people I socialise with We usually meet for coffee / tea mostly with cake

She's a media lovey, all her acquaintances will be functioning alcoholics and cokeheads *sweeping generalisation but she does not commune with every day people*

 

[squiffle]

I’ve had the same thought too. This project spans 52 weeks. What if she’s involved in the Christmas special?!

That will be the point at which it’ll get a retweet. When she’s involved in it.

 

[Captainmouse]

She must have noticed she had a demon eye.

She must of caught up here

 

[emm]

What's the bet that Jack's next Guardian piece will be Sick internet trolls drove me to drink, but now I'm stronger than ever?

hopefully she makes the mistake of mentioning tattle by name to drive more people here

 

[Mr Krabs]

Thank you Jack, I needed that laugh do the del Monte social media team try the recipes do you reckon? No salary would be enough to make me put this in my mouth

They probably take pretend bites and go mmm, yummy, this is the best thing ever. Like when a toddler gives you a plastic cake or makes a pretend sandwich from play doh.

That looks like a child has cut out a random head to stick on a different body. And the EYE!!!! Sauron is alive and well, then
