Who puts shoes in a library

Getting annoyed about the HoP - what about how they are a rat infested death trap that is moments away from being flooded and/or burned down by an electrical fire. And the old fashioned wiffler JRM won’t let them do a full decant and sort it properly so it will never be done. No one wants to admit the billions it will cost / but after looking at how much test and trace cost - which dwarfed our spend on vaccines - I think they should just sod if and move to NEC for 5 years to get it fixed.

Given Jack's love of vastly impractical expensive things, I'm amazed the wallpaper is Wilko and not something like Timorous Beasties.

I hate to say this but it’s the same as it ever was Jack. Doesn’t matter who is in power, this is what happens during debates. They all sod off (unless they are speaking or have an interest) and come back for the vote.

To be honest I don't want any of the current leaders in power. The parliament needs a good shake up and a whole new set of leaders need to be given the floor.

Edit to add not her, not her ever!

 

[kachoochoo]

the books are just vaguely still in colour groups from that time she turned the garage into an office. this was before the chairs moved in

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

It's nice that she can use wallpaper paste in the shitty bungalow.

ETA: Just read @Veronicaaa's Pritt Stick post which makes this even funnier.

Excuse me? Sellotape your wallpaper?? LJC

She doesn't boil pasta. She gently simmers it.

No no no, she SLIGHTLY undercooks it.

 

[ScamSandwich]

She's paying £2k a month. We'll that's what she was paying when she moved in 3 years ago. Probably gone up since then.

ETA I only know this because I found the original rental listing by a quick Google last year. She came to the end of the original agreement in March last year and it briefly appeared on the estate agents website with 'not available until March 2021' on it. It said the rental cost.
She obviously came to a new agreement with the landlady. God knows how, the landlady is sick of her. She's always late with the rent, sometimes up to a couple of months. Jack said so on her own SM. She's also ripped up the kitchen floor, torn down a wall in an outbuilding and kept pets without permission.
My guess is She's paid a year's rent in advance.

Unless...the being late with rent was a lie to grift!

WTF are all the rolls of paper above the cupboards?!

Paper backgrounds for slop photography.

Funny you say that

'This chard looks like my chard' for thread title. FFS, what did you think it was going to look like? Beyonce?

My bookshelves are in my room. Should I say I sleep in a library now?

Also, I spy That Man!

 

[Ninch55]

But surely she's already explained she didn't pay for more than couple of boxes, the rest was given to her?

Because of course, the cost of sending two canteens of cutlery is exactly the same as the cost of sending seventeen boxes. Even humble eBay sellers love paying people to take their stuff.

She did, I misread - of course the postage would have been minimal - it was exceptionally generous. I’m humbled.

My heart would bleed for her, if it weren't for the fact that she seems to have 4x60cm (standard kitchen cupboard width) of worktop on the other side, plus 3.5x60cm next to the draining board. She ain't #worktoppoor

But, but she only has two plug sockets, imagine if you, could you know removed a plug for something else, or get a on/ off switch extension lead. Such thoughts are make believe.

Also I don't know but I bet if she told her landlord she wanted and would pay for a new kitchen landlord wouldn't object. Just sayin, especially if she's only staying another year.

 

[JuliaGulia]

And is that a new toaster? It doesn't have naff writing all over it to tell you it's a toaster for making toast.

(I missed the Red Dwarf chat!)

 

[Readingismyhobby]

She really flounders around for an identity, doesn't she? I know many of you (all of us?!) have said it again and again, but each day I am staggered by how directionless and unformed she is. It's quite astonishing.

I think Jacky is a human amoeba, thinks directionless and unformed.

Better jobs. Lol. Another pass agg tweet

I would imagine any job is a better job than working for smol pixie

 

[Knit one Pearl one]

She’s probably sleeping in the hallway/nook because she’s hoarded the fuck out of the bedrooms. Wasn’t it just a few months ago she was doing a cringe Changing Rooms style sped up video in her spare bedroom?

It's a miracle how she manages to do all of this, what with those poor arthritic hands...

Cream cheese: a more affordable substitute for butter in mash for those who cannot afford butter but can push the boat out for cream cheese?
