Nasty piece of work is MC. Can’t say more 🔺 but I know someone who had an interaction with her and her family years ago. NASTY people

IIRC she came up on the celeb gossip thread here a few times. Some pretty unpleasant allegations re CSA and the like so tread carefully.

That whole sideboard look is horrific. Out of all the tat she owns, why that look?! Baffling.

Don't forget they were titled "something's simmering" - we never did find out what, much like the chicken stock, that house must be hotter than Hades with all the slow cookers of tea, radiators full of drying sadness etc.

They aren’t even nice sideboards. The Cotswold Company is just ready assembled Argos.
What she has now already looks old hat although she could possibly paint them black or, better still, dark green and get a few more years out of them. Complete waste of money.

The constituents withering away line brings back memories of her other epic piece on poverty (and perhaps my favourite)
'children with rickets
and crumpled bus tickets'.

Sorry chaps. I'm welling up again just reading that 🥺.

The arrogance of her to assume she has the talent, acumen or creativity to draft a crime novel. Unless the antagonist is a moaning D-List social media personality who rinses Patreon subscribers like beans for thousands a month despite offering literally nothing in return. In which case, that’s more memoir than fiction.

I'm well behind but just reading her book excerpt and once again ask the same question...... and this helps the poors how????

Clearly the meeting with the publisher included a kick up the arse then as this spouted out in the early hours

Her arrogance over writing a series of trashy crime novels is needling me. I can't imagine most crime writers set out deliberately to write 'trash'. It is as much a painstaking labour of love as other forms of the written word. Jack just thinks because she has read a Dick Francis that it is marvellously easy and she will be amazing at it. Not understanding good writing is often made to look deceptively easy, whereas her tortured overwrought prose which she thinks is incredibly clever, is in fact glaringly juvenile.

While I completely take your point to be fair if she did write a series of crime novels they would actually be trash…

God, can you imagine? The serial killer would be based on David Cameron and all the good guys/victims would be plucky lil poor pixies.

Oh dear, has her Arthritis specialist doctor failed to inform her that one should not cross one's legs in this way, or cross them at all for that matter! I've had it drummed into me, no leg crossing, including the ankles! (Different kind of arthritis as mine isn't RA, but nevertheless, it's her joints that are painful just the same!)

Anyway, back to the picture...why do so many people think the "snarl" is sexy?

Snarly Jack
Snarly Jack
Get off my top (this is the sideboard speaking)
Go cook some slop
Don't let us down
Oh no, no

Snarly Jack
Snarly Jack
Get off your back
Go into town (Asda)
Don't let them (the poors) down
Oh no, no

SORRY pals & dudes!
(Need the amazing Wize Owl to record this for us 😄)

This is definitely one for the oldies! 😁 And if you listen to the lyrics, many of them sound so relevant in Jack context!😁

What was the actual context for this. I can't imagine another good writer or ahem "political commentator " posing in grim shorts and grimy sports bra. If she imagined she looked alluring, sexy or enticing she'd be much mistaken

"Something's simmering" was all she said.
