Ooft, soooooo close squig! So close.
Unfortunately, Jack Monroe concentrates all of her efforts on Jack Monroe, Sorry.
Where do I claim my £5?
If I’d been sat on a wobbly train for more than an hour 6 days after I’d given birth something would have fallen out.
So NHS talk to 3,000 - NOPE not exactlyGuess what. I've just found out that (surprise surprise) Jack Monroe is embellishing a grain of truth
"The Google Executive Summit is an annual event for their most prestigious clients."
In other words, a show and tell, schmooze the commercial clients in a day long product showcase and sales pitch, mixed with a few talks so the clients can justify it as a legit event.
Not quite the same as "talking to a summit full of Google executives"
Well here‘s hoping some creative Frau can put together a montage of the rise-n-fall-of-jack-monroe so we all have a souvenir when it’s over..I think Jack will take a long time to leave the stage and become increasingly bonkers as the wheels fall off the grift. We still have 5+ bangers ahead of us.
I'd like a commemorative tea towel please.Well here‘s hoping some creative Frau can put together a montage of the rise-n-fall-of-jack-monroe so we all have a souvenir when it’s over..
No Jack, you haven't. Stop lying

Exactly this!I’m expecting a post from Big Dave explaining that Jack moved out at 17 coz she was a bit of a mad head, they tried to help her out but she kept spunking all her housing benny on crap and ended up in a load of debt. They got her a great, well-paid and difficult to get job which she also managed to eff up. They’ve helped her out as much as they can and kept quiet through all her shameful behaviour because frankly, they’re used to it.
He votes Labour but is a Royalist, mainly because of his years in the forces. He has a few books on many subjects as do lots of soldiers-know your history and your enemy and all that. He didn’t realise Jack had taken that to mean he was a Marxist because she’d also borrowed her mum’s copy of Riders by Jilly Cooper and hadn’t accused them of running a raunchy racing stables.
With a commemorative chamber pot for anyone using the pie dish to make Jack recipes because let's face when that slop decides to fight it's way out no one is going to be fast enough to reach the toilet.Commemorative pie dish with a recipe? Jacks face hidden under the pie?
Don’t worry she’s ruined egg and lemon soup on many previous occasions. The last one was full of cauliflower and broccoli I think!?!?I missed being able to say this on the last thread, so apols for the off topic.
No idea how to spoiler. Also sorry.
Pretend this is under a spoiler, ok?
Jack (presumably) isn't Jewish, but she IS part Greek-Cypriot.
My personal old Harold is of the G-C variety, and we often make a very classic Greek-Cypriot soup, Avgolemono, that's the G-C version of the 'make you better' Chicken Soup that many cultures seem to have developed.
Why didn't Jack make that, rather than butcher a Jewish recipe?
(It's just chicken (with bones, skin and fat- so either a whole chicken or wings/ drumsticks) boiled, strained, remove the meat and put aside, cook white rice in the chicken stock water, let cool slightly, add whisked (whole) egg/s and some lemon juice and salt to taste, serve.
It's delicious, cheap, easy and great for when you're ill. (This is the family version of the recipe, which varies from region to region/ family to family.))
Seems easier, cheaper and less culturally-appropriative, but hey, this isn't a rational person we're talking about here, I suppose.
I might send them pictures of my Cotswold collection just to rub salt in the wound.As long as you never deliver it and send rude messages to your backers.
