I mean … I know you’re joking about Jack here … but, as someone who was diagnosed more than a quarter of a century ago, and have had to work around it for my whole adult life in order to be able to be good at the things I’m actually good at, this is not a bad descriptive overview of ADHD generallyYou didn't mention her damn ADHD brain! It simultaneously gives her laser precision focus on the task at hand while also endlessly distracting her to the point she gets nothing done.
Okay I know stuffing shoes with rags to make them fit is a thing that people sometimes do. However, bus tickets are tiny, how many crumpled bus tickets does it take fill the toe of a shoe?Ah dear ninny - Jack answers this in the next line of that verse. For some inexplicable reason these children with rickets used their crumpled bus tickets to stuff the toes of their duct taped shoes. Seriously.
No me neither.
ETA aren't bus tickets really small? Like a large stamp? Why would that help with shoe stuffing?
I guess she regards the food she buys for her work a business expense? Not sure if she now 'works' as a sole trader or not.How can she triple test when she only has £20 a week for food. How do these recipes fit in with that?
Pity the poor kids in my town, we use plastic travel cards. Jack's povs with their paper tickets? Luxury.Okay I know stuffing shoes with rags to make them fit is a thing that people sometimes do. However, bus tickets are tiny, how many crumpled bus tickets does it take fill the toe of a shoe?
Presumably they're used baking trays so they'd be covered in grease too. Who wants grease smeared bedsheets? Would explain the lingering honk though.The baking trays tip is so very shit. Baking trays cool down very quickly when you remove them from the oven. They don't retain heat like a hot water bottle or a Victorian copper bed warmer (you'd think the urchin waif would have one of those in her collection, filling it with baking beans instead of hot coals). Everything is so dramatic but so obviously nonsense.
Hnnggggnnngh or whatever the stupid exclamation she uses is.
Most baking trays are definitely, er, seasoned, there's no way I'd be putting any near my 300 thread count Jasper Conrans thank you very much. Filthy.The baking trays tip is so very shit.

Quoting myself llike an asshole here, but even if she would live of a £20 for a year, or even a month, it would still not be the same as she will always be able to get money from her family/will have an inheritance at some point/has her passive Patreon income she could save up while doing that challenge etc.I guess she regards the food she buys for her work a business expense? Not sure if she now 'works' as a sole trader or not.
But it's always been weird for her to bang on about £20 shops when she can/could literally live of her business and eat the food she cooks for her recipes. I mean, not weird but disingenuous to pretend she lives of a £20 as some kind of inspirational thing. The fact is is that it is fucking hard to live of a £20 shop and it's insulting to those who live on much less income than her.
The man with a club footI'm sure rickets/bus tickets was just chosen (I say "chosen" but I don't think there was much of an editorial process going on) because of the rhyme. It could just as easily have been
Because they have had polio
They lean on a portfolio
Their shoulders crumbleThe man with a club foot
Wishes he could vote for Michael Foot
Wow these poems practically write themselves!
