Jack Monroe #38 Will she call her next cat Sue Purrkins?

[MancBee]

@JoanOfSark has just liked one of my post back on thread 25 (are you on a Gunka or doing a moonwalk revisit of earlier threads? Fun times ahead if you are Gunking) And now I've got Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) stuck in my ear now. Back to the eighties soundtrack. Love it.

 

[help i need some help!]

I am trying to catch up! I have Grunka'd to page 50 of the previous thread but now need to be BUSY in the kitchen.
However, In summary,

1. The girl needs therapy
2. Much love and strength to those amongst us that need it
3. Loving the nostalgia but it irks me that most of it I relate to my offspring rather than my most misspent yoof.

I shall return soon...

Your friend’s cat is beautiful

Thanks! He is a Devon Rex. I had one too, (mine was not so lovely, he was dumped in a bin as he was a "breed failure", and the Devon Rex network saved him and for the next 14 years he brought much happiness to me)

I think you've all had this conversation, but I'm only recently in from lurking, and I couldn't grunka *everything*: if the older cat is a Maine Coon, then I'm a (90s) ubermodel. I asked my bestie, a crazy cat woman, breeder, OWNED A MAINE COON. She says... (see photo) and I can't stop giggling. Autocorrect has added a word, but rest assured she's saying, "not even close".


Yes she hasn't been on a holiday since the last recent one which was the first time she'd been on a holiday in six years. Thanks to the person who provided the IG receipt photo

Don’t say it, doooooooon’t say it!

 

[MarmiteExtract]

Don’t say it, doooooooon’t say it!

Haha, Poca, I love when you bust out this gif! Last time really made me laugh too.

That gif illustrates my internal panic / delight that she’s currently going:
‘It’s a bleeping Maine Coon damn you alllllllll’

@crystaleyesd I got butterflies reading about your potential hookup! I am such a romantic at heart and love a good long distance story! Please do keep up updated about how it goes!

My own partner and I very much have an against the odds story with the 'getting together' bit but I daren't reveal too much cos I definitely could end up doxxing myself. We're in a very mundane (aka lovely but no drama) relationship now, but OMG was it crazy! Sorry, that probably sounds super vague a la JM but I love a good romantic story

I would expect nothing less from your photo, which makes me smile every time I see it

That is atrocious, I don’t understand how people can be so awful to animals, if you don’t want it take it to a shelter, give it away, at worst leave it to fend for itself , but in a bin. Jesus this makes me so angry

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

I think we should triangulate him.

I wasn’t paying attention to the news last night but I think he’s renewed his contract (or whatever the dubious unpolitical arrangement he has is called) so he’ll be in power til he’s 83 odd, so that’s a lot more cash money for us fraus to do our bit in destabilising Britain by.... discussing someone with minor daytime TV appearances & minor social media following on an obscure forum?

Thank you, I love Pam-ela! She would absolutely be a Tattler as well! Gavin and Stacey is viewed as a real national treasure in South Wales, where I grew up!

My first crush was Arnie in The Terminator. Well, the first that was an actual human (the cartoon Thor was the actual first). A few years later, the local dive had it on permanent loop every night and I always timed our entrance to coincide with the arrival scene.

I see no one has claimed Danny yet...

Might just quit my job, I’ve posted a lot so I assume I deserve a 6 figure salary by now

 

[byropaw]

It's a mix. Please don't make her angry about us misidentifying her cats again. We've been there before.

Sorry

Wot @Harrybosch said and also:

* Jack denied having a holiday for 7 years. Evidence found here to prove this was not the case.
* Spectacular twitter rants. Largely deleted. Including @Matt. To date ignored by him.

Hi I cant keep up! What did I miss about the tweets @Matt? I too will rewatch Before Sunrise this weekend in my slip dress and DMs of course.

Putin promised me a brand new Smeg fridge but it hasn't arrived. I daren't complain, you know what he's like...

Hopefully this state-sponsored stipend will help me to buy a house. I mean I'm nearly 30 and can't believe I haven't been gifted one by the Universe when I clearly deserve it! I've only been gifted Tracey Enims and SMEG fridges, but it's hard when you're a little urchin.

Whatever do you mean, have you not read JM's ever growing changing Twitter bio?! She's VERY important and very BUSY!

I'm glad someone else had a non-human crush. My first crush was...

THOSE DIMPLES MADE ME SWOON (I was very, very young).
