I listened to a bit of that LBC thing, just caught the end. Jack went on about how she used to be in the fire service and because she worked there so long she still has connections to them and apparently this is just like politicians being in bed with the energy companies. I couldn't make head nor tail of it tbh.

I left my abusive H when pregnant and was fucked financially, had a deep terror of not being able to afford nappies/wipes/formula and had a grand total of £300 to spend on baby stuff, the £75 I spent on cloth nappies was the best money ever [/ISPOILER] and they don’t need washing above 40.

Now there are 3 of us having periods (all at the same time every month!) I don’t have to worry about being unable to afford pads, running out of them, or being unable to get hold of any now I’m rural with no shops.

But my stash is massive, I’ve got around 40 of them, and the ones I first bought are still going strong.

Teens love them as they’re not self conscious of changing them at school in the unisex toilets as there’s no “noise”, and I mostly love them because they’re not scented (who the fuck thought scented pads was a good idea?!)

Why is she smirking and grinning whilst talking about people dying because of poverty?
People dying in ways she thinks proves one of her tedious points excites her. She feeds off human misery.


Apparently disabled people who are worried about dying are phoning Jack hourly, rather than properly qualified advisers who could actually help.

Watching this with the nasal whine dialled well down.


The way that not a single cell moves anywhere above her eyelids is well into Uncanny Valley territory. Human eyebrows & foreheads just aren’t supposed to be glass-smooth and utterly lifeless, even if that’s nicely symbolic of the absence of any useful brain activity going on behind them.

Ah, Jack Monroe. With her forehead like a stiff shiny plastic wang, and her bread like the forehead of an Orc being electrocuted. Online life will certainly be less amusing when her gig’s finally up & she has to retreat into shamed obscurity for the rest of her days - which I sincerely hope will go on for a very very long time: a long life as a social media pariah is exactly what she deserves.

I suspect she's growing to say she had to pawn the haunted rings in order to buy X3 the ingredients for her many, many 15 minute one pot meals.

Cripes. Those wierd fillers she has had in and around her mouth haven't settled down yet then.
But oh I forgot. It is her sobriety skin
She looks awful - like she hasn't slept at all - and sounds worse.
If I didn't know what a lying, grifting narc she is, I would actually feel sorry for her seeing this.

My (half Spanish ) OH makes fabulous gazpacho. With the gazpacho chat earlier thought I'd share his recipe.

6 large tomatoes
1 pepper (red or green whichever you like better)
2 cucumbers.
chop into smallish pieces
Add:
One shot glass of olive oil
One shot glass of vinegar
Salt
Throw in blender.
Done

Why is she smirking and grinning whilst talking about people dying because of poverty?
Because talking in gruesome, disrespectful ways about other people’s trauma is how she gets her dollar innit.

She also, to use an outmoded psychosexual framework, seems to be stuck in an anal-expulsion fixation. How many times in that talk did she talk in graphic detail about incontinence, not affording the people concerned the slightest shred of dignity.

Poorly integrated personality issues, send Doktor Freudios.

I'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
Had no butter, only lard,
Stuffed my shoes with an oyster card

Look, I know it is pointless to ask, but why wouldn't you just get a hot water bottle, boil the kettle and then pop it under the duvet?

Why on earth would you heat the oven, get a no doubt grimy baking tray and then wait 30 minutes for it to heat up?

You could go to Poundland and get a HWB, or I dunno, find one in a puddle or something.
