Jack Monroe #260 Stop trying to make macro philanthropy happen, it’s not going to happen

[Veronicaaa]

I think advertising standards would be the body to investigate. The statement that 100% of the profits go to charity is part of the sales pitch.

This page is full of interesting information https://www.asa.org.uk/type/broadcast/code_section/16.html

Grunking forwards. TV trouble again Jack?
Snivelling little arsebot.

I’ve been using them (net bags) since the start of the pandemic for my face masks

Jack Monroe #141 Who dat?

OK, so one of the vegan squigs is really not letting this drop now. This is on her own page away from the LM one, she’s completely furious and so is everyone else commenting. :censored: She’s actually included this in a regular post about what she’s made for dinner tonight. She’s taking a very...

tattle.life

It's worth another read.

Spoiler: The recipe video from the kitchen shoot never materialised.

He made her a toastie. Does she mean her kid made it?

You should save it and add all that salty brine to your next bath. Punch some holes in the tin and add a tealight for your very own home made Dead Sea spa experience.

Don't give her

 

[Wooh]

May I refer you to-
Raw flour, milk and cheap cheese slice blended then “warmed through” in the pan with the pasta. SB declared it the best ever, the cabal cried stomach cramps and cited the perils of raw flour.

That was so unnecessary of Jack

Isn't fasolada a sort of soup @HotesTilaire ?

Was it free, perchance? And does he have a patreon or tip jar?
Asking for a shameless grifter friend.

I think it was free but got distracted by pictures of nice food so didn't notice. I got giddy with the scent of badness and now follow *him* on Insta.

I did a chaos! Asking mods to remove my duplicate post, noone wants to see that abomination twice.

Well Anna Delvey is ranting on Instagram so…

I’ve literally only heard of this woman today and watched a three part YouTube doc on her - fascinating - and here pops up a mention of her!

 

[Django]

speaking of the war (and apologies for being so chatty) my nan swore down that during the war when she was a child they'd have parsnip sandwiches flavoured with banana essence or something like that, since they couldn't get bananas. don't tell jack that or it'll be her next hot recipe

I'm surprised Jack doesn't use Camp coffee.
Perhaps she does, it would explain her toilet behaviour (sorry).

She’s got a Netflix show- inventing Anna - that’s trending!

Findus French Bread Pizza used to be a thing?

It was. We loved them especially the chilli beef

Spoiler: Cat food-related tedium

I cant recall who mentioned the super cheap pet mince a thread or two ago, but would this work for cats? I ask after having a mild break down when I got up this morning to find that one of the cats (i know who it was) had tipped the 48pc box of cat food off the kitchen table and half eaten all the packets. Obviously I put my cats before myself but they are really pushing it currently and the main suspect is my wife's cat who could be most fairly described as 'rotund'

Personally I hired a sky-writer to etch 'SLOP BASTARD' above her local area

Off-topic cat chat. I buy the animal mince from a butcher and mix it with chopped root vegetables, rice, pasta and boil it up for the dogs and they have it with dried dog biscuits. Not sure if it would be a good idea for cats as they need taurine in their diet.
You can buy a slimming world version of cat kibble though

Hang on - wasn't Jack at one point fairly recently claiming that the Smart Price rice wasn't the same quality as the higher-priced stuff? Short broken grains and all that. So how is that now all they have to do is relabel the expensive stuff?

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!

DUST!

Hey, you there @Dogmuck , leave sprouts out of it! Perfect little bitter buggers.

The American podcasts are all sponsored by 'hello tushy'. Terrible name, good idea for a product. I think that other countries are right on this.
Not a practical budgeting solution though as colouredlines says!

I can't cross threads, but you make some great points @Five hundred dogs Really enjoyed your transcripts and analysis.

Yeah, the transcripts and follow up posts were much appreciated! I loved the transcribers' notes.

I noticed yesterday when I went back to thread 1. Eat, sleep, slop, repeat.

Damn! Too early!!

I hate ADHD/Autism Jack the most.
I have both and struggled for 35 years before I was diagnosed properly.
Her making me sound like I basically need a carer fucks me right off.
Strategies and routines, Jack. That's how the rest of us cope.
INGRAINED strategies and routines.
You cuntasaurus.

Oooh, a new swear word to add to my vocab ...shame we can't have it as the new thread title!

Why would you have a drawer full of cancelled cards? Cut them up and bin them. And who has a ‘spare’ bank card? Is that even possible?

I was wondering this… maybe she has Revolut account. I’ve ended up with 2 cards for the same account. One standard and one pink that I got for going premium I don’t know if the Nonsense (but I love it pink one) cancels out the standard one.
