I went to gifted school in the 80s, it was just extra school on a Saturday to do more and harder work, it was only for young kids though, like up to 12-13.
At age 6 To 7 I was reading the Famous Five and Secret Seven (less good) I think this is why I’m hypersensitive to glorious, wonderful, jolly Enid Blyton Jack.

In fairness to Jack Billy Blue Hat was boring Rodger Red hat was way better.
However what is she going on about? Parent governors can’t and wouldn’t say that. It doesn’t matter what she’s waffling on about there’s always a metaphorical glass ceiling in all her tales isn’t there?

Yes there isn’t a gifted and talented school but saying grammar school wouldn’t sound that special. I genuinely think she has some autistic traits but I am not sure if she has had a formal diagnosis as her diagnosis stories are implausible, contradict each other and are not how diagnosis actually works.

I had Roger Red Hat & co in the early 90s! Not in the UK admittedly, but the hats were still alive and well. I preferred Letterland. Good old Clever Cat, Kicking King, and those weird incest cousins.

Just joking of course, I was reading War & Peace in the original Russian.

Lads I am concerned. I went to a supermarket with my mum earlier (it was Waitrose naturally, they let me in even though I am on benefits and have tattoos) and needed to get kidney beans. They only had kidney beans in chilli sauce so she suggested getting those and rinsing them. She then said could I not get some borlotti beans instead as beans are beans. I think I might have to softly, quietly, gently disown her.

Some random bloke who chased her down a hotel corridor shouting, or something, because she tricked him in to thinking tinned something was gourmet cooking. I forget the details.

Teacher who Jack sent a book to.

Shop assistant is posh coat shop.

Someone in a bank who didn't think an armful of shit tattoos was identification.

Not being a Billy Blue Hat Truther but I’m Jack’s age and read them at school in Year 1. My school did have these curtains though so they weren’t exactly keeping up with the times.

Ah, Letterland! I'm a year older than Jack and I remember those guys...



I can't tell you how much #frugalmama and #frugalmom annoy me...

The headteacher on Twitter who Jack apologised to after which there appeared to be the inexplicable watershed moment that initiated Jack 2.0.

It is just meant to be cheese (pecorino Romano) and black pepper. Nothing else.
I’m sorry but halloumi does not go with spaghetti. The texture is just wrong.
