Jack Monroe #268 May I ask where you work?

[LydiaDeetzHat]

I want to eat retaliation trifle in a spite orangery.

too early for a thread nom?

 

[Hollaaa]

How much spite is involved here exactly?

And how much does it cost per portion?

 

[Brian Butterfield]

I wish it wasn’t too early for this as a thread title

Once we know the corner I am going in with a broom…and some gold spray.

 

[JeanBurns76]

Sending people to the dark corner of the internet, is the truth now considered a black hole then?

When did we actually get to a state where the truth can’t be told as it’ll hurt someone’s feelings? Utter madness isn’t it?

 

[jenny2603]

Gold? On a triiiiiiifle?

If only my family were that funny I'd have a six pack from laughing so much.

I bet Old Chief takes a dim view "first you have traaaazzzers on a bird, then you've got them putting gold on a trifle. It's not on".

Everyone wants to exists in their own little echo chamber these days. Depressing.

big dave rn at the crappy bungalow after he's recovered from the hilarity of (checks notes) gold spray

 

[SweetTransvestite]

Wow that book is almost expensive enough for Jack to consider buying

She's already got it and half way through reading it. It's there on the shelf of sadness betwixt 'The Iron Lady' and 'Mein Kampf'.

Thankyou for reminding her though.

 

[Lazarus]

Jack’s dad laughing at the trifle like: ‘That is what you call comedy gold’

 

[jenny2603]

I hope all the laughter from the crappy Bungalow at the gold spray doesn't alert Evil Landlady to the presence of guests. I can't imagine her chuckling along with trifle bantz. If anything it might enrage her "you're sitting here eating gold bleeping trifle in my bleeping gaff when you owe me rent? Do I look like a mug to you?" *trifle and bowl hit the wall with a splat and a crash*

I’ve actually had a proper laugh out loud moment at this Jenny
Honestly, imagine if you were the landlady? She must just be sitting in her house every day looking at her bank account sans rent money, then at Jack’s Twitter and thinking WTF!!

Trifle Defector...
where's the Trussell Trust £10,000, fuckface?

This don't tell the truth, because the truth hurts.

Also another bug bear of mine is everyone bigging everyone up for literally winning the booby prize.
Today I did something amazing!
I got up, did the usual everyday tit and now I am going to bed.

Everyone" sooo proud of you"

I get that some people do have mental health issues and things are a struggle, but it just seems like we have to treat everyone like a sensitive child these days else we are apparently being horrid.

I sometimes wonder how these people cope with real life problems! I have lost a patent, dealt with personal things that have been horrid( and that not many people in my real life know about) yet I don't expect to be praised for every little task I undertake and if someone tells me I am tit at something I take it and work on making myself better.

 

[Thank(space)you]

Why does everything have to be haunted? Haunted coat rack, haunted bird app...

 

[Shawads]

Maybe she did a zoom call with him and he hit the deck laughing and then Jack's mum would have come in all puzzled and been like "what's going on?" and Jack's dad would just have managed to say "gold on a trifle" in between laughs. It would have been so funny and everyone laughs about to this day.


I wonder if she sprayed the whole dinner gold or just the dessert course. How much spite is involved here exactly?

"Gold on a trifle"

[Jay-cloth Cow]

Yer da laughs at gold trifles has to be the new yer da sells Avon.

Please say this BIB again later in the thread. Too early!!!

 

[HotesTilaire]

Jack's gold-sprayed trifle was made when she had covid, so how was it designed to make her dad laugh?

It wasn’t.
Hope that helps.
Call Big Dave, her pants are on fire.

Haunted trifle...

Maybe Jack's dad is nicer than mine, but if I sprayed a trifle gold, my dad would definitely be laughing at me, in a "why do I have such a fool for a daughter" kind of way...

 

[jenny2603]

Out of interest, can anyone point me to the value range gold spray? I've checked Smart Price but I'm drawing a blank. Surely the little urchin chef isn't using premium products? I suppose it could have been a yellow sticker or a gift from a mate but I do need to know where it fits in the £20 p/w budget.

Think we triangulated before- Jack helped us
