Has she seriously not mentioned the kickyball?
I thought she was the biggest Liverpool fan ever to have lived

Apparently so, it's from a refugee charity. I really hope people aren't welcomed to the UK with Jacks's recipes including salmon paste noodles

How on earth are people who have fled to this country following war/persecution/torture all supposed to be able to decrypt that bollocks? Not every refugee is literate, not every refugee is fluent enough in English to be able to extract some actual instructions from that Graphorrheic exudae.

Handing a refugee that nonsense is a racist microaggression - because it makes clear (unlike the cooking process) that they don't belong here.

Definitely think there was some issue with her work that they let her go so easily. Not to martyr myself but I'm a good worker and anytime I've resigned from a role I've been asked to reconsider. One manager actually refused to accept my resignation. I can only think that there was an issue with Jack or her work that they so readily accepted her leaving and didn't do anything to try accommodate her in any way, despite her family connections.

It's amazing what songs stay with you, "you raise me up" was on the TV the morning I heard my cousin died.

Perhaps the strangest example of this for me is the song Supreme by Robbie Williams.

It will always remind me of 9/11, because the local commercial radio station played it as I walked into my house on that afternoon. The opening lines are ... kind of inappropriate, given the timing:

Oh, it seems forever stopped today / all the lonely hearts in London caught a plane and flew away

She was probably wholly unsuited to the role in the first instance, and only got it because of her dad. She failed the first interview, so he showed her around the control room and she did another interview and got it.

Surely some employees are beyond help!

" It is 2014, I am living in London, working as part of a consultancy job for a high-street chain of popular restaurants. "

I wonder what the germ of truth was behind this anecdote.

Dropped in for lunch, gave the waiter some unhelpful advice about adding more black pepper

Allegra probably gave her a little job to keep her occupied.

Her writing always reads like a script by the "Legz Akimbo" theatre company from the league of gentlemen.
