Sorry this is OT, but I didn't have time to post before the previous thread was locked.

To @DisgruntledGoat who loves stories of petty grudges - have you heard about the Spite House in Boston? It's actually gorgeous inside & out and I would totally live there, but the term 'spite house' never fails to crack me up.

''The legend is that two brothers shared land but one built on more than his share, so the other built a skinny house to block access and views.''

Pssst, no one tell Jack about this! She'd probably try to build one next to Borbora's house. Crowdfunded Spite House is 100% Jack's niche.

I wonder if the Spite House also has a spite orangery attached.

(Grunking again).

It's that Carole Tonkinson, she's evil.

ETA: @StatusWoe beat me to the punch becuase she LITERALLY WANTS ME STOP BREATHING. IT'S SOOOO UNFAIR.

Given that Jack likes to do everything in threes, in addition to being her publisher and therapist maybe evil Carole T is also her accountant. Fingers crossed. :D

Aw no I'd never want that. Here, have some unappealing veg sticks and stretchy hummus as a reconciliation gift.

I also found a GIF of Jack's cooking.

😘 If you promise not to build the spite house, I'll promise to not mention the shark teeth

Sorry, I am afraid that is a promise I can’t make.

Won’t lie I’m extremely into this chaotic energy from Carole.

Is she actually a master troll working to prod Jack into ever more deranged vengeance, ultimately ousting her from the publishers’ roster and public life?? Or is she just a really out of touch middle class middle aged lady with absolutely no place being a therapist? Either way, I love it.

Out of touch middle class middle aged ladies make up 90% of self funded counselling/therapy courses

Oh yeah I get the whole BBC arrangement, but I’m not sure that they can make employers employ staff on a PAYE basis. Although that may be where the whole IR35 comes in.

HMRC don’t know about self employment income. It’s only PAYE income that is reported by employers. Jack can realistically get away with not declaring the Patreon income because HMRC can’t question income from self employment unless they suspect fraud.

they don’t make them PAYE, but they can insist on Ltd.

But they do, self employed people submit invoices for 'services', companies pay these invoices, they have to declare these payments. So they can offset against their own tax.
