Ask the kids to help you make this Epic chocolate and beetroot cake - we think they might just agree! The recipe is so simple to follow too. Put the oven on!

Also why would you get a cat and call it after your other cat?

At least give them their own name.

I'm sure she wouldn't want to be just called smol pixie.

 

[Captainmouse]

Oh god, Plastic Paddy Jack is going to be the worst.

I've an Irish father and an Irish husband and I wouldn't dare go on about Ireland the way she does.

ETA: you can buy brown lemonade in Sainsbury's. You can get Taytos online. Grated cheese baps are not inherently Irish. Cinnamon lozenges are in Asda. Why does she talk about these things like they're never to be seen again?

You can get taytos in Tesco’s

The way she reduces MH conditions/illnesses (I am struggling to find the right word to encompass the three) like depression/ED/alcoholism to photos like this is abhorrent.

I am bored of writing the same shit on here. In a world where people are trying to make society understand the nuances and complexity of MH, she is actively working against this and doing so much damage.

It's ridiculous as well. Not just because she has a mostly white cat and she's never worn black to the best of my knowledge in any other circumstance other than that fake before photo, but because black does not mean sad. It means professionally dressed in some jobs - in my case, when I'm teching or doing a formal gig. And for special nights out - when you've got pets, choosing to wear black at any time out of choice in any case, means you're at your best, as you need to get the fluff off, they have to be pristine clean, you have to be pristine clean and, depending upon your colouring and preferred presentation, in makeup to avoid looking washed out.

have to say I am breaking out the owl champagne at the George Michael lie…… given there is actual photographic evidence online of both of them 20 years ago it’s a bizarre claim!

Greeks is Greeks.

Think we ought to start worrying about Mom too. Jack parlance!

Sounds so much more appealing in Nigella-voice though. Nasal twang Lasagne of Love, very much less. I know whose kitchen I’d want to be in, and it has chilli lights and a pantry the size of my flat.

That poor kitten's eyes look like they're still a bit blue, so I doubt she is 12 weeks. Also looks like the third eyelid is showing in the left eye. She doesn't look healthy to me.

I don't think it looks healthy either in truth, but I am hoping it's just because it's a weak kitten due to it being the runt and not anything else.

 

[kachoochoo]

tbh, I thought that about the mercury squiggle too. same as when the sardine dude said we were obsessed or whatever

oh well, they'll join in if they want to, I guess

 

[ThePowderMonkey]

2 adults and a pre-teen. does anyone else have the suspicion that the adult is often SB’s Dad?

Supervised visits

 

[BlendedSlop]

Fuck. Right. Off.

This is not going to end well.

Better than Black n Tans, I suppose.

When she would have been 12/13? She’s too late for the 90s and too early for the fairly short lived greb/emo scene of circa 2005/6ish which if she is 33 as she claims to be she would be at peak for at the end of secondary/ start of 6th form. I’m sure we’ve seen pictures of her as a teen and she looked … ordinary?

im going to have to put my phone on charge in the hallway if she carries on, she’s really grating my mushrooms today, she really does think she can say whatever she wants and everyone’s just going to go along with it.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Oh cripes. Jack's sentimental musings about The Aul Country are NOT a welcome return.
It is so bloody cod oirish

 

[Cucumberthunder]

Are there any walk-in centres in your area? Are any local gps doing them?

My GP was one last time, so I'm hoping they will be again. There'll be a way around it - hubby drives, so just need to work out logistics but brain isn't in prime problem solving mode today.

 

[Captainmouse]

Bet they are all posh moleskine, no cheap supermarket tat for our mackie. If you don’t look in the notebooks use your phone, you never put that down! Ya prune

too slow! See others got there first

Still going as of 2am View attachment 921123

That’s a worried face

Who could forget the eyepatch worn under the eyebrow. One of my favourite Jacks.

Why would you do such a boring jigsaw. Oh yeah it's her.

I don't get it.

 

[hydeist]

Also can someone tell me what soup celery is, because I am a Bad Irish and have never heard of this

 

[TurnedUpInTipp]

Jack is an entirely humourless entity. She probably looks like this when she's on her grunk.

(sorry for nightmare fuel)

The Arlene Foster filter is uncanny..

 

[Ninch55]

I was going to say this, isn't this exactly like last time with the other poor kitten? It's awful knowing the inevitability of what's going to happen but not being able to do anything about it.

She’s so unbelievably stupid.
