Jack Monroe #235 Goggleslop

[misshydrangea]

To go back to Jacks warm coke and J2O tweet, what about Shloer wasn’t that marketed as a grown up drink when it first came out? There was definitely something as I remember a lad from school gleefully pulling out a bottle at one of the underage drinks in a field nights and seeing it as a victory as “they didn’t even ask for ID”.
@Ravenstown enjoy thread 31 one of my great regrets I wasn’t a ninny back then so couldn’t enjoy the fun in real time.

babe, same

the times has it but I don’t subscribe, I think jack was a nickname, and Monroe sounded better? Or something

I think Monroe may be a family name on Jack’s mum's side, or possibly her paternal grandmother?

Controversial but I like the bleached hair....

The times and guardian articles both mention deed poll

Pricey!

 

[Flash123]

Whaaaaatttttt?????

If you Google the original name it’s somewhere

not sure if allowed to post the link.

I think this is just a coincidence, she's never shown any interest in Marvel (or if she has, it was as fleeting as Tank Jack).

Someone here told me that was where she got it?!

Karen Dunbar is so funny!!!

She is, even a Sassenach like me finds her brilliant. But then we watch Still Game and was very surprised she never appeared in it.

She was only 15 so I'll give her a pass but saying voluntarily handcuffing yourself to a bestie for 5 days puts you into the shoes of conjoined twins is actually pretty shallow and offensive, in my opinion. I'm disabled by M.E. and if someone said spending 5 days at home on the sofa in their pjs put them in my shoes, I'd pop off about it.

I know what's wrong with doing a sponsored walk for the conjoined twins. I did loads at school for loads of charities.

Sorry if this is a really basic ask (I don’t have a Twitter account so view as a non-user only) but do these comments show up on the posts she made, because I don’t see them - or are they on retweets etc?

"Sorry, I misread the signals"

I honestly think she started out well meaning but then after getting caught up in the life of the elite during her early ( very minor) sleb days she refuses to go back to an ordinary lifestyle, despite not having the means of upkeeping such a life.

I do think it must be a kick in the gut to go from so much to so little in such a short space of time, but her MH would b so much better if she just accepted her new lifestyle and worked at making it comfortable.

Does remind me of the opposite of this sentiment:

O/T —I’m so disappointed in season 4!!

Oh god really? I can't properly watch it as the shine has worn off for my kids so need some alone time to properly absorb and assess
