She knows the best way to silence any criticism or pushback from the food and media world is to deploy tweets about suicide and self harm. It's a warning. She's a cunt.

One time I went to Nottingham we went to a cafe and sitting on the counter was a coffee pot and a tea pot at one end, we thought nothing of it ordered our breakfast, as we did we noticed a sign asking for donation for something to eat for the homeless. We put in our few pounds change and whilst we waited for what we ordered a homeless man came in said hello to the lady behind the counter and she replied in first name terms and she handed him a disposable cup and he filled it with a drink( can't remember which) and asked for a bacon sandwich she repsonded with ok put another couple of slices of bacon on and buttered a butty just as we got our food he got his.

I always thought that was an amazing Idea and so simple. Food paid forward by kindness and a drink and some( non slop) hot food to eat.

You definitely don’t. I’ve had two periods of pretty serious financial straits, one of them I just didn’t eat (straits due to evil boyf I stress starved and lost 3 stone) and the other time I survived on £12.50 a week, getting my food all from Morrisons, like 25p bags of microwave beans/pasta and a cheap loaf plus anything on offer that would last. Occasionally my dinner was a bag of microwaved veg with butter I nicked off my housemates. I managed, but it sucked.
Maybe I’ve missed my calling as a performative poverty prick.

“The Florence Nightingale of our time.” Fucking fuck me.
Florence liked a drink and refused to let Mary Seacole join her corps( who arguably did more with her own money).
I can't believe a care home wouldn't employ her we are always short of staff and often give set shifts to help with childcare

There honestly aren't enough eye rolls in the world for these people

Although I must agree that few others would be able to create such utterly revolting slop from these ingredients!
She is such a special person, causing the Victorian sewage system to be overloaded, and anybody foolish enough to waste there money on this pigswill, nutritionally and calorifically deficient. And definitely have their lights off!

I was 41 years and 28 days old when I discovered BIB is 'bit in bold' and not 'bring it back' I.e. too early for a thread suggestion so repost it again later please.

As you were lads.

We need to start thinking of ideas for a 300 thread celebration fraus. I’m thinking some kind of pie competition? I shall go for a prune and anchovy pasty.
I’m going for an aperitif by Monica Galetti, a main by Allegra McEvedy, and a pudding from Jamie Oliver. That is dinner sorted..Then cocktails at the Groucho in my eleventybillion pound Cartier Paris earrings and a designer bin bag dress from RIP Viv. (For lunch I’m having Slopbollock Pie with chips and Roadkill Gravy xx ) I’m also going to make a huge fucking drama out of the entire day. Don’t try to steal my thunder.

She’d said she was on £40k between the two roles at one point didn’t she?

But yeah £27k was the starting salary for STEM-adjacent grad roles (obvs not in IB) back then. Her dad did really well to get her it as there would have been a ton of bright individuals available and eager.

Her mum responded to the blog post asking if she’ll be invited along as the plus one. So there’s another lie right there that she hadn’t spoken to anyone in eons.
