I am here for 'foreign' food Jack, she reminds me of a very shouty English man I heard loudly demanding a blacko curranto in a Spanish hotel.
I am here for 'foreign' food Jack, she reminds me of a very shouty English man I heard loudly demanding a blacko curranto in a Spanish hotel.I can't believe that this is the thing that brings me out of lurkdom, but I am a Venice- loving Frau, and this has meand . Jack thinks Per Rialto is a place in Venice. This will be because she has seen it written on numerous signs on the 2 main walking routes either side of the Grand Canal. The clue's in the arrow, Jack. Rialto is the place. Per means 'for', as in, follow this arrow for Rialto. Along with all the other tourist sheep who never venture off the beaten track......

I'm starting to think OH is actually Pat(reon) Cash.OH is definitely a sugardaddy type I think - £1000 earrings and minibreaks to venice, when all she gives them in return is slop, evenings with no TV and lights off at 10. I don't know how (if its true of course) she doesn't feel guilty just take take taking like this - I'd feel v uncomfortable having someone spend that much money on me. Oh wait though, this is Jack - all she does is take from others. No guilt on her part then.
Bamburgh beach is the best beach in the world and this is the hill I shall die on. Sorry off topic!So…
.The last few days have been shit. My weekend was really shit. If someone asked me to go to Venice, I would have told them, thank you so much for the offer but I would rather stagnate in my house to breaking bad because the juxtaposition of my mood against the lovely weather, happy tourists and beautiful surroundings would have exacerbated my shit feelings. Her triggering posts about ED and calories set me off but that is on me and I have to accept that.
Jack is a spoiled, self-centred, lying cow. I want to say our F and D chat about Italy had nothing to do with her Venice trip but I am starting to think that everything she does is aimed at us.
She has every right to go on holiday, but as usual, she had to make it the most holiday ever. If she was feeling that rubbish and burned out Venice really isn’t the best thought out place in the world to go. It is over priced, not the best place in Italy for food and requires a considerable amount of physical effort to navigate due to the canal structure and sheer number of tourists.
Not that I want her up here, but it would have been far better for her to visit a smaller Northumberland (Obs not Bamburgh) or N. Yorkshire village. Far less showy, fantastic food, beaches, places to chill and unwind and far more in keeping with the persona she is trying to portray.
But, it is “festivals and talks” season. Jack needs to prepare by being relaxed and the only way to relax is to hand one to the trolls.
You looked a fraud Jack. You’ve looked a fraud for years. I hope L is with MM. She is the campaigner you could only hope to be.
ETA- lots to grunk, give me time
If you’re watching your pennies and doing a £20 Jackshop, then let’s face facts, you’ll know full well you’ve paid full price for the bread. Yet another middle class fuckwit who has no idea that the poors are already on top of this kinda shit!Don’t you scan the yellow sticker you fuckwit?
I agree, that is definitely a tripod reflected in her sunnies. She's doing this to get back at Louisa and give us something to mither about. OH is fictional.I'm starting to think OH is actually Pat(reon) Cash.
Her one true loveI'm starting to think OH is actually Pat(reon) Cash.
Hahhaaaaaaaaaaaa so it's like an Italian person visiting London and saying, "We had some lovely fish n chips at the A25 to Borehamwood, such a lovely part of London" ahaaaaaaa this has ended meI can't believe that this is the thing that brings me out of lurkdom, but I am a Venice- loving Frau, and this has meand .

You put it far better than I ever could. On the occasions where I have shared my trauma (always in proper therapeutic environments, never on Twitter funny enough, maybe I'm missing a trick) I have genuinely felt a bit husk-like for a couple days afterwards. It's a physical exhaustion / sickness as well as a mental and emotional one. The body processes re-lived trauma and so does the mind. Would I be able to hop on a plane to Venice? Yeah if I had to. I'd definitely be pretty low, though.This is the problem isn’t it? She writes this stuff, leaving people hurt in her wake and then trips off to Venice as though nothing ever happened. This is why my sympathy is waning. If I poured my heart out, I would be shattered, unable to do pretty much anything, yet she then is able to go on holiday, eating gelato as though it was going out of fashion.It just shows that everything she claims is bull.
Your concern is more reflective of your generous nature than reality; out of Jack and Harold, I don't think it's Jack we have to worry about.It makes me worry a little bit... generosity like this could be love bombing, we know Jack is quite vulnerable/easily led and something about such generous gifts so soon make me feel a little... uncomfortable
The Jack Monroe version, made out of liquified beans and crispy seaweed, dried out on a radiator and then rehydrated with chickpea ephemera, is coming soon.Do we think she's just learned what gelato is? She has mentioned it in basically every tweet.
TD's Venice travel advice popped up on my timeline within days of me getting back from there. I was disappointed at the timing because TD is someone I would definitely listen to re: restaurant recommendations!Can't wait for TD to compare notes, considering her pinned Tweet
My thoughts exactly! As if any gelato place in an Italian tourist trap is cheap. FFS. But Jack must pretend to be poor even when she’s on holiday.No gelato anywhere in Venice is cheapNothing is cheap in Venice it’s tourist dense with a captured audience, probably one of the most expensive places in Italy and renown for selling sub par slop to tourists, right up Jacks street. Jack will be recommending that independent gelato establishment Magnum Pleasure Store.
I've seen that before but I still pressed play and cringed myself inside out. Thank you. Just, thank you. No. Just. No.Make sure she knows that even though it’s at Glastonbury, that DOES NOT MEAN SHE SHOULD SING
(sorry, not sorry. That video is a classic)
