@Flumps i have the opposite, a son with very long blonde hair, he likes it long and so it’s up to him. Even though he wears skater type clothes and to be honest is very obviously a boy he still gets called a girl. He doesn’t care one jot and just laughs!
Like the rest of the country who are working from home or still furloughed
EYEROLL EMOJI
She is a pathological liar.
Canal of trolls deck you auto correct!!!!
This!! Couldn’t agree with you more. I also don’t get the whole business of blocking someone who calls you out. Obviously blue tickers and ‘public figures’ are susceptible to people who say things that they should be blocked for. But I’ve seen here that JM blocks people and people who like things said by the blocked person....why??Quick rant before I have important work to do (on today's agenda - solving racism and smashing the patriarchy with my lady doctor friend, so I don't have much time - some might say I'M BUSY!!!!)
This whole 'be kind' thing is getting on my tits in such a big way. First of all, many, perhaps most people I encounter in life are kind, polite and friendly. Every now and again someone is a grumpy arse, but then, aren't we all from time to time? For the most part, just don't take it personally. Occasionally a true emotional vampire enters the fray. We all have to weigh up on how to deal with such delights and most grown-ups at some point develop a strategy that works for them. So far, no hellscape on the horizon.
BUT there are real issues out there. And I feel I have the right, perhaps even the duty, to hold people to account. Just as much as people around me hold me to account when I duck up. That doesn't mean that I or anyone else is not being kind. It's ok to ask questions. It's ok to point out inconsistencies. It's ok to not be kind to people who consistently duck up and are incompetent or shouldn't be in the job that they are in. On Twitter, there seems to be a whole bunch of people who shout 'be kind' when any kind of criticism is levelled at anyone. To them I say, stop telling people to be bleeping kind! Particularly women have always be told to be meek and kind and I've had bleeping enough of it.
We all love a dictionary definition here. Her and her followers have once again no clue of what being kind actually means.
KIND
adjective
UK /kaɪnd/ US /kaɪnd/

Rant over. As you were.
. What is that about? The man was right. I probably wouldn’t tweet about it but he was still right.
I hooted
I'm sorry, its such a lovely message but... canal
'Concussion' good grief, what calamity could have caused that?
Sun in!!!OMG THE NOSTALGIA IN THIS THREAD. I'm gonna do a nineties girl checklist...
There's gotta be more..
- Collection 2000 royal blue mascara
- The ill-advised venture into putting the hair version of the above through your locks, rendering them crispy and a bit like a paint palette where all the colours are mixed together
- Rubbing Claire's Accessories glittery lipstick over your eyes as eyeshadow, scraping the poor delicate mites into ribbons as you do so (just me?)
- MAKE A STATEMENT WITHOUT SAYING A WORD (I legit ordered some Exclamation! from Allbeauty a few weeks ago. Actually pretty sophisticated!)
- Small (often transparent) rucksacks that you could display your Natural Collection body spritzes in
- Can I get an 'AMEN' for hiding your boobs in a Sweater Shop...er, sweater
- Moving into the millennium with two tone garms
- Wanting a pair of Buffalo trainers but my parents wouldn't let me so floral wedges from Faith it was!
- Rocking gloopy lipgloss you got free from Just 17 (or the pineapple roll-on stuff from Miss Selfridge if you were fancy)
- Bindis
- Spectacular nail polish (see also: Miners)
- Sperm eyebrows (went at mine with my Dad's Mach 3; God knows how I've got anything left)
- The year 11 girls wearing Rimmel 'Hide the Blemish' as lipstick
- Dream Matte Mousse for that really undead look
Didn’t she have a fortnight in Greece last year?
She'd only get on with the owners politically and philosophically if they are followers of the 'Jack Monroe is the centre of the universe' school of thought
Do what the rest of us freelancers do. Inform our clients, provide clear notification with regards to return, put an out of office on, don’t bleat ‘poor me’ all over social media as believe it or not there’s 2.5million (est) self employed so none of us are special. Above all (and I say this seriously as it’s vital). Remain PROFESSIONAL. Oh and be mindful that some of us are on permanent holidays at the moment as there is NO WORK so ‘be kind’.
She's clearly been learning at the Fopperbollock school of social media...This!! Couldn’t agree with you more. I also don’t get the whole business of blocking someone who calls you out.

I caught a bit of Piers Morgan on GMB yesterday. He’d been drinking a pint of beer and someone tweeted that it was a health and safety issue to drink in the workplace. And Piers read out the tweet in a nerdy and condescending way and then blocked him
How hard must life be blocking people and then living your life not accepting that people won’t always agree with you
Do you think because she sees Twitter as her job she just never has a break from that?
AM NEVER KNOWINGLY OFF DUTY.
it is okay to die of laughter at your own gif right?
