Or my tile is stuck to a trainHow about the old classics - cat ate my homework, I left it on the bus, my grandfather is DEAD.
She's already missed multiple deadlines, I think the original one was around September 2020? Then there were various others. It does seem like she's in the last chance saloon with this FINAL FINAL FINAL one so it's really up to her publisher what to do. If I were her I would bin it, cut ties, and sue Jack for the advance because she hasn't delivered. But Carole's a complete wash-out so this could still be going on 2 years from nowWhat could, in theory, happen if she doesn’t meet this deadline? Also, if she does hand in that absolute mess that looks like a toddlers been cutting up magazines, what’s her publisher going to do/say? As others have said, that does not look like final edits.
Just what we need, another heroI don't know if this was posted already. I can't believe ONS chaos was just 2 days ago.

If she disappeared we would have no content, why would we want to disband the canal?If she’s talking about us here, “the obsessive little band of hate-mongerers that desperately want to see me disappear from public life, and conveniently shut up about the sheer scope and disaster of poverty in the UK”, then ugh.
She KNOWS that’s not what we’re about. I don’t think any of us object to poverty being highlighted, but we know that it’s such an important issue, it’s worth doing it well.
I’m currently ploughing through my own final thesis edits and this genuinely cracked me up!BRB, just off the the library to print out my unfinished thesis, make all my edits in my five colour ink clicky pen, and bind it with some shitty ribbon before handing it to the pre-eminent academics in my field.
“What do you mean I’ve got major corrections?! I wrote on page 42 noooooo this needs a methodology why did I do a PhD! I’m writing to the Telegraph”
Honestly, the unprofessionalism is off the damn charts. I initially thought she was lucky to have such an indulgenttherapistpublisher but it’s enabled her and made her worse. My terrifying supervisors have made me a better human in the long run. It’s genuinely sad that people will pay money for this piece of shit book full of untested recipes she’s taken from her website or her half-arsed paid partnerships thinking that they’re doing something worthy because they’re “saving money” or “being thrifty” all while she gets a double or triple payday (website ad revenue > paid partnerships > book advance and royalties). It’s immoral.

The brambly mice have given it the once overWhen do the crack team of home economists and nutritionists check the recipes?
They are. She will be fucking their schedules right up believe me, and putting pressure on other authors to sub sooner.I thought she was writing a book about the DWP and poverty or will it be interspersed with slop recipes and essays about broccoli stalks?!
I can’t work out if she is looking for sympathy or trying to appear like an overachiever. I’m still surprised about how patient the publisher is! I always thought they strict about deadlines! Also thinking of the admin assistant at the publishers who is probably going to have to decipher Jack’s scribble and type that up!
She wasn’t doing the news all day, she overslept and missed most of itShe is not pulling an all-nighter because she had a day doing the News. She is scrabbling around at the last minute to complete a project that she has had on her to-do list for what, two years now.
If it's anything like the music industry, as a fairly standard example (and depending on how much clout you have/in demand you are), you would sign a three-album deal. Part of the advance on signing and then draw down the rest on delivery of each new album - or book in Jack's case. I'm sure they've essentially just written her off now though and don't care whether she delivers or not. Can't see them putting much behind the marketing budget either as it's like throwing money down a drain at this point.Do you think she has a book deal where they have to publish so many books. I can’t see any other reason for this. They obviously can’t be arsed even checking her work or telling her what needs doing or what direction to take.
Looking at that shows once again why she couldn’t do a degree, imagine her final thesis.
Again I'm just catching up with the thread so apologies if this has been mentioned. But, unless I'm mistaken, this is her recipe for the famous 'denatured pineapple cured fish/ceviche'. Aka that recipe for likely food poisoning and waste of food.So this is her final day before the book has to be submitted - and she has only just now realised there is no actual recipe method for this? Just blurb about herself and a list of ingredients?
She is so utterly hopeless and incompetent as a food writer it is beyond a joke.

Serves me right for commenting too soon! You clocked the mackerel pineapple ceviche!How can she have been doing "edits" of this godforsaken book for over an entire year without noticing at least one of her recipes is missing the fucking method until the night it's due to be handed in?
From zooming in it looks like this is the "mackerel and pineapple ceviche" from the wall of procrastination. Altogether now: THE BROMELAIN IN CANNED PINEAPPLE IS DENATURED.

So, her hard 7 day deadline's expired and the ouchy mouth/fall down the stairs have clearly been unsuccessful in securing another extension. Unlucky! She's already used the technical issues excuse for this book, too.

Might need to break out the big guns this time: ball lightning, amnesia, alien abduction?
Yeah I clocked that. This is a new JackFact on me. Why was she booted out the Labour party (if indeed she was?)? Could've been her publically campaigning with the Greens in 2015, that would breach their membership rules. Could also have been her public criticisms of Corbyn, although if that were a bootable offence then half of the shadow cabinet should've been kicked out between 2016 and 2019, tbh.Luv the bit where she says she didn’t realise she had been kicked out of labourreally needs to open her correspondence, in whatever form it arrives.
