Jack Monroe #269 The secret ingredient is … SPITE

[HotesTilaire]

She gets a proper M&S caterpillar cake too. SB has to have the knockoff.

In fairness it was a wiggles from sainsbury apparently. Which is the only acceptable knock off IMO.
But yeah our Jacksie’s ‘rents had to go M&S to get their daughter a cake

For real! I started taking sandwiches to work recently instead of leftovers/tinned soup and was surprised at how much the ingredients cost even for a weeks’ worth of basic sandwiches. It’s nothing crazy, but there’s definitely cheaper options for a lunch especially if you’re at home and can cook something. Beans or egg on toast for a start.

Anyone who believes she eats the way she claims to for £20 a week is a fool.

so true. But so many squigs seem to lap it up

Just posting to see my hat

happy birthday Jack, we know you’re reading. Have you paid your taxes and given the 10k to charidee yet?

 

[L3moning]

Sylvia Plankhurst more like.

Unfortunately far too early...

Sure you little imp. If they were enough to satisfy your dark soul you wouldn't rattle rattle the tip jar with a link. Feck off there's a dear

Is sangers acceptable


Go and make one. No regrets.

As the official authority on sandwich name alternatives, I can confirm it is!

Of course they are poppet. You are such an ecowarrior. Though how you find the time between the 100 hour working week, continual tweeting, poverty activism and general arsebadgery heaven only knows

Mmmmm, cold bacon and possibly luke warm pancakes. Definitely made for social media attention only, or else there would be toppings galore everywhere! Tragic.

On a grunk sorry but AS IF

 

[Cucumberthunder]

Will she celebrate her birthday by making the £10k donation that is owed to the Trussell Trust? Look at me, ouchy mouth, all alone, but making this big selfless gesture?

Oooh. I think you're on to something!!

 

[PinkMariner]

Hmmm £10k? That amount sounds familiar, is she baiting us?
ETA posted seconds after @PinkMariner

Great minds think alike

 

[ednaturnblad]

Oh I hope so. That would be perfect.
Hard to see how she could square it with her numerous debilitating ailments tbh but
She could become the nation's sweetheart like Rose

Same. I have a ton of work to do and now all I can think about is which pro dancer Jack would get paired with.

Neil or Karen. You heard it here first.

 

[Onestorytoomany]

Happy birthday

 

[StringyMango]

I hope the sandwiches die a natural death soon, it's just supposed adults crapping on about their gross fillings and that's just not satisfying my need for chaos and

@ MCM I hear you loud and clear. All this tomato ketchup talk is . I don't know how to spoiler/ add TW or fade parts of a sentence but I once had Very Upsetting Experience with corned beef. Tomato ketchup triggers me for other reasons. (Too much boring info).
Any payment to TT yet? Hope your new job is a success!!

I've never heard of it as a racist term, nor as a word for sandwiches. I've only ever heard of the martial art by the same name!

I discovered the martial art thing this morning!. And in my Irish brain I just imagined sandwich ninjas - throwing bread and fillings at each other…. Baguette Battles if you will.

Sorry, am I reading this wrong? Is she saying she buys jeans washed in recycled water? I don't understand. Is it like dish water or like toilet water? Seriously, is this a thing?

 

[HansThatDoDishes]

What does this mean?

You can ask people to send you money, basically like an invoice, so friends have sent me a request when I owed them some cash, for example.

This is part of a spoiler, but on its own doesn't say anything spoiler worthy, so:

Thread title suggestion.

 

[hydeist]

Can confirm as a Irish person, it is used by young and old. Until yesterday I was unaware of it’s other meaning, I suspect a lot of folks don’t realise the racist use of the word.

I was just about to ask if it's an irish thing - also never knew that sambo had a racist meaning!

Though I will insist that it is, in fact, a sammich. "Sarnie" makes me
