FunnyFuneral

Having seen a few families GoFund me to pay for a funeral in the last few years - pre covid mainly as well - this tip jar me for faffing around doing the bare arse of fuck all has really irritated me today. Absolutely shameless con artist

@Froggies I really feel for you. Just awful. But looks like it can be sorted?

I've just been out for my birthday tea, sitting outside in chilly weather with the threat of more hailstones.

It was the first time I've been out in months and I could have cried with joy when all of the other diners sang happy birthday ( it was actually last week but. Whatever)

As soon as I got home I left the most glowing review, 5 stars, amazing etc.

It's heartbreaking to think of someone being trashed by a vengeful arsehole.

I wish there was a Tripadvisor/google review facility for Jackmonroe plc. I'd love to leave a review

Eta..... probably shouldn't have said when my... actual birthday was. Also deleted my mother's maiden name and first pet

See, I don’t mind people doing GoFundMe’a etc for spurious things as long as they are honest about it. Like that guy who wanted to get a helicopter to his sister’s wedding or whatever it was. At least he was upfront. Jack plays the ‘poor starving single MamaPapa’ and gets people sending them their winter heating allowance . Grifting ducker

I’ll always have a soft spot for Richard Herring since he pointed out when Men’s Day is to all the guys on Twitter that inevitably ask on Women’s Day, and turned it into raising thousands of pounds for the women‘s charity Refuge. Hey, a good way to monetise Twitter!

Its all explained here.

Comedian raises £80,000 by helping angry men who want to know when International Men's Day is

It's quite clever

On topic, I can’t see anyone I follow on Twitter with the tip jar displayed, but I still can’t see Jack’s either, so insert “therefore who fucking knows” here, @kachoochoo I will PayPal you for your creation

At least Herring produces content, it may not be everyone’s cup of tea but he doesn’t ask people to tip him for being a twat on Twitter
There’s a thread title for us if we were allowed the swears

I can see the tip jar icon through my account. I really think it's utterly disgusting on her part. I would have thought she'd at least posted something about it by now, some sort of reasoning for her need for it. C'mon Jack, lets hear your great manifesto of excuses ya grifting ninny.

But does she? I feel the speed of which this was set up suggest that all is not well in regards to funds.

Del Monte alone will be worth a fair whack! She's definitely a spendthrift, but she's got more than enough money coming in.

If there’s one thing we’ve ascertained over nearly 200 threads, is that Jack definitely has NO shame.

I can’t talk about Twitter tip grift. It makes me want to launch my iPad across the room.

I have looked at the del monte page. 1. They are plugging Waitrose. 2. Someone has cooked the chicken! Spoiler alert - they have changed the recipe to suit themselves (as usual!). Avoided slimy greasy skin - and fair play to them, it would certainly help make it more palatable!

Simple reason is she can’t. She has zero need for a tip jar other than greed.

Seriously, if you look up rates of the hotel over 5 weeks taking in account the 25% long stay discount, that's still just shy of a £3000 bill. Let alone all the food and fancy energy drinks she bought too (Yakhult aint cheap lol). Plus travel costs (taxis as well as trains)

She did save a quid reusing her med veg tray a couple of times. (med veg tray; never forgotten)

*small voice* Adam Buxton hasn’t done anything objectionable has he? I would be sad. I like his podcast and remember the Adam and Joe show was very funny.

I can’t imagine Adam doing anything bad Intentionally ever- he’s a massive over thinker/worrier of things I think and I genuinely don’t think he could ever get the rapport with his guests if he was dodgy. (But I may be biased, he’s my fave. Not long til I see him for his delayed book tour, hopefully!)

Is anyone quietly stitching together the new thread? Please whisper in my ear if so

I wonder if Jack will feel pressured to improve her "content" now that she's potentially being paid for it?

She probably thinks she's just perfect as she is, and can justify every penny that might come her way.

I think I've got Limoncello rage...such a lightweight...

I am finding all the talk about tipping really interesting. I need to admit that I did contribute to the JM tip jar back in my jackolyte days. In my defence, it was very early on and I had used a couple of recipes from her website which had worked well. It was way before all the paid partnerships etc.
I do try to pay for content that I have enjoyed online because I worry about the amount that creatives are expected to do for free and I don’t want to feel I am exploiting anyone.

ps on subject of bad behaviour and negative reviews, I had a very interesting conversation with someone who runs a business on high street and they said they have experienced a huge increase in aggression from customers since reopening after the end of lockdown. They put it down to covid and people venting their frustration on them. I wonder if leaving a negative review is another version of that behaviour? It’s a really nasty way to behave and I hope that you get it sorted.

Meh, I do and some others. Some don’t. He’s not a cabal favourite. He’s not under suspicion for grifting.

I like him even if only for his tireless work on previous International Women's Days

ETA: I see Sidey B is way ahead of me!
