That hair is a deliberate design decision.

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*

You’re going with the Krays angle?

It's a free source of protein for the poors. Honestly, so tired of the middle classes sneering at hair in food.

 

[Sideboard Bob]

I keep forgetting we’re supposed to be angry about this.

 

[GreyBudgie]

She still

That hair is a deliberate design decision.

You can’t polish a trifle, but you can cover it in cat hair and gold sludge

 

[Dogmuck]

Is that a vegan trifle?

Yes but you have to imagine Evil Landlady is Joan Crawford but talks like an east end gangster. Jack's fantasy world needs spicing up like a peach curry.

 

[Onestorytoomany]

Yes to all of this. File with “be kind “ and “it’s ok not to be ok” guff.

And I say this as someone who suffers with crippling depression and anxiety.

Much love to you. I know how horrid it can be. I just don't understand how literally lying to people can be good for their mental health. If I knew everyone was lying to me all of the time just because they didn't want to hurt me, but in reality none of it was true would floor me more than if they just said, look I know you're trying but you're failing! Perhaps if you do xyz it might make it better for you.

Babe, same. I go looking for the parody/sarcastic affirmations - the real ones make me way too sweary.

Jack's so funny!

I don't know why TV production companies say she's difficult to work with....

I don't know why she wasn't allowed to retract her resignation from the fire service all those years ago....

The woman is clearly hilario and her gold spray based highjinks delight all, from her nearest and dearest to the average man on the street. He's sidled up behind her to whisper *I love your work*

Is that a vegan trifle?

90%

Too short

 

[LydiaDeetzHat]

Aw I see Tom Doorley is in her replies, telling her to keep angering that corner of the internet.

As Marco Pierre White said about Tom, he would do anything for a small cheque

i thought that name sounded familiar.. isn't there a folk song that goes hang down your head Tom Dooley hang down your head and cry?

 

[HotesTilaire]

Is that a vegan trifle?

It’s 90% equine

 

[Vanelope]

No one was angered, Jack.

[Thank(space)you]

I'm rather enjoying the trifle chaos, probably more so than the Special People

Yes, trifle chaos is a nice bit of light relief and a welcome break from the charity chaos.
