Jack Monroe #392 This is why ppl cook you on that gossip app innit

[AndrewsDaddy]

So she’s not speaking at an NHS event (as an NHS Frau I praise LJC for this), but rather to a private provider who holds NHS contracts. NHS adjacent, if you will. And she imagines the entire organisation (1000) plus their spouses and an additional plus one of their choice will all turn out to hear her sniffle and snottily ramble about her made up poverty? Seriously, what the fuck is she going to speak to a care company about? Actual healthcare professionals with actual jobs making a difference to peoples lives? She has zero healthcare experience and I would be offended if my employer got her to come and speak to me and my colleagues. This is my aneurysm.
Luckily for me, I work in a part of Scotland that Jack would never set foot in (not the nice bits of Glasgow or Celery Town), and my work vaguely involves projects with public health ensuring services reach our more vulnerable / rural communities, so I can happily confirm Jack is not involved behind the scenes with my health board. Might have to ask some colleagues in NHS Highland what work she’s done for them actually…

Maybe it’s a hands on practical workshop about dealing with those with NPD or addictions?

I am in one for the eldest (Y11) but it's not been talked in for nearly 3 years. You just don't have much to say once they start secondary. What with not taking them to the school gates, because they are 12.

I feel a bit sorry for her that she's never had an invite to the parents whatsapp group.

Then again, there's the squigs giving her money for literally nothing.

Resting Botox Face

That is now, smug face was then, to paraphrase (sort of) Jack.

 

[SpudYouHate]

Re Jack's lack of taste buds and nasal whine, plus various face aches - I wonder if she should have had her adenoids out as a child.
I had all those symptoms but had mine taken out when I was about 10. Whipping your adenoids out was much more routine in the 70s I think.

One of my sons had his taken out about 7 years ago- he was a chronic mouth breather, and couldn't seem to close his mouth to eat, sleep or even when underwater. They didn't reckon it'd be a cure-all, but whatever helped, age or the op, he's far better now. JM definitely SOUNDS adenoidal, for sure.

 

[Fitnessqueen]

I'm pretty sure he is adopted so he actually is her brother (Big Dave says he has 4 children in an interview) and he is also tall.......

Why Jack cheer?
Night pie here.

Why she sigh?
Can't fry
bed pie.

Why so snippy?
Bald the housemate
fled to chippy.



Why Jack tweet on toilet?
Prunes in pie, and nearly soiled it.

(Sorry)

Very funny

 

[Wooh]

Here’s the article. It’s where I got the nonsensical quote about the rug of doom being pulled out plunging her into a chasm of chaos - or whatever

“We Should Recognise One Another As Human Beings”: Anti-Poverty Campaigner Jack Monroe On The Realities Of Going Hungry

Chef, author and anti-poverty campaigner Jack Monroe reflects on her own experiences as a struggling mum for Vogue, after the government came under fire once again over free school meals

Chapeau to Vogue for very good editors/editing

Why Jack so thick?
Believe Spoons condom trick.
And why fraus all titter?
Thick Jack say it on Twitter

Too short

 

[MM85]

Of course Jack gets the most pastry, do we know if they've survived the "pie"?

 

[sleepingsatellite]

She has unfollowed 161 people last week I think. So yes, they get kicked out

For the thread in that screen grab though they are able to reply because the first squig quote tweeted her.

Merail too, but I'm on Paroxetine and before I had surgery to address the issue, used Naproxen for crippling menstrual issues too- and myself and my 'Old Harold' are both prescribed it for long-time back issues. BUT, we're extremely circumspect with it AND it does massively exacerbate my gastritis which I then have to deal with. I'd avoid it like the plague if anything else came close to helping. We can only get it on prescription, though. I've never seen it OTC in the UK?

One of the Feminax line (?) is Naproxen. I think it’s the Ultra one and it’s got quite strict imstructions for use. Never again (whilst on SSRIs anyway!).

What’s the American Embassy bread crumb, have I missed something?

 

[House of Carbonara]

Did we see that the recipe for her foul concoction is on her to do list?
Yay.

No don't.

 

[Nonah]

Yeah it was the ultra one but they've discontinued it

I can see why.

My 15 year-old son just made this by using Inspect Element on JM's tweet.

Careful there, the file name for that image shares what looks like your son’s first name @SpudYouHate. Do we need to be wary of tattle watchers taking that tweet as a receipt?

 

[hooplifehero]

To be fair, womp womp has been an internet thing for a while. Jack probably doesn’t know some racist guy used the term - I’ve certainly never heard of him. I don’t see why we should allow this guy to ruin something, stupid as it is.

no, fair enough. That is the only association I have with “womp womp” but sure, if some bigot used “toot toot” I wouldn’t consider the word banned.

any excuse to hammer Jack though

 

[Bell'un]

"BOYD"! whaddya reckon?

Just Bod. Nickname? x

 

[Hold my beans]

We're not sure but Jack appears to have mixed up therapy with prize bingo. She far she's won a hoop and a teddy bear but she may have won a goldfish or a frisbee for sobriety too.

Just with her attending all those AA meetings I would've thought she'd have been awarded some. Makes you think.

 

[Sausage Surprise !]

Hold on Fraus can’t we get forensic here

housemate‘s name is B—-D

Miss Anne Thrope last thread knows who Camembert man is - a local business entrepreneur.

can we establish if better half / bodyguard / housemate / best friend are the same potato-faced labourer?

Just catching up here? Is this also the burger man or is that someone else
