This is a tangent as still grunking.

Listening to Off-menu (podcast with Ed Gamble and James Acaster) with Nadiya on it and she is SO lovely. Funny, warm, charming. So different to some other cooks we know!
My fave podcast! The episode with Angela Hartnett is a delight, too.

Nearly 200 episodes and no Smol Pixie? Although I can only imagine the woe is me tirade they'd get when asking 'still or sparkling'.

It's always a great idea to get a new tattoo when you're deep in the throes of the worst heartbreak you've ever experienced, well done Jack!
Yes to this. I say that from personal experience. At the end of my last relationship during what was a very rocky period for me, I decided to have a tattoo of my favourite musician's face on my inner forearm. At that point i hadn't been tattooed in at least a decade. I would have to say my favourite musician remains as it was when i got the tattoo, but I'm now less keen on having it there. I'm currently contemplating having all of my visible tattoos lasered off.

And people only talk to her about money because she’s constantly whinging about being poor! No one asks Nadiyah et al how much her plates or shoes cost because she’s not pretending to be living off of maize snacks and liquidised cucumbers?

For the same reason they wet themselves over an alleged cook making biscuits that my two year old grandchild would reject as a bit shit.
It is truly baffling.

My type is very much androgynous and I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t think she was attractive when her first book came out (shame it was still a couple of years before I realised what my fascination with androgynous women was ). However now I find her repulsive. She doesn’t know who she is and her vile narcissistic ways mean that it doesn’t matter how she wears her hair or what she clothes she wears (lesbian or otherwise) she’ll always be ugly.

Also imagine that nasal twang talking dirty in your ear

I recently watched that clip and was equally amused and horrified.

Why did she attempt to make a roux in a blender? You have to make it in a pan with heat. The real chefs (Sir Matt and river cottage lady (?)) must have needed to be revived with smelling salts after witnessing her “cook”.

Our local tattoo shop recently had a refurbishment. Half the studio is now a tattooist, the other half is dedicated to laser treatments such as tattoo removal. It’s smart of them really. I know a lot of people, myself included, who have suddenly found that their Celtic/rockabilly/pin-up tats from 2004 are actually a teeny bit naff nowadays. There’s a particular shit faded tattoo on my arm that I really hate and have wanted covered up for years, but removal is tempting.

Then again, I was on holiday last month and I saw many, many absolutely appalling tattoos. Anyone watch This Country? They looked like Big Mandy had done them. So I suppose I’m not alone in having some shit ink.

I know someone will have mentioned it but homosexual for 20 years?? Your son is 12/13? Was he conceived in a greengage jar? I don’t know any lesbians who would sleep with a man, unless they are bi and I don’t know any straight women who would sleep with another woman… unless they’re also bi. We don’t have to be so PC that we can’t say same sex attraction is a thing (I almost put that in caps but couldn’t bring myself to).

Harold’s family are leaving reviews of their experiences at the shitty bungalow on TripAdvisor!





Also, I present to you the text that the poor alarmed Outlaws surreptitiously sent Harold under the dining table, as Jack was busy nuzzling OHB in the kitchen

Oops! Sycophantic, no h. Hope 'The Teacher' isn't reading. Still dying to hear all about the dates though ...

Boogs, thank you for your comment, it really wasn't needed and I hope i didn't leave you feeling like you had to justify a type of person you're attracted to. It wasn't my intention when I made that comment, i hope you know.

@Boogs I don’t wish to avatar shame you, but this one is also rather alarming. Also, after my lovely poem for her, it should possibly come with a trigger warning for dearest jenny numbers.
Come to think of it I am somewhat traumatised. Send cashos for comfort spoooons!
