Aneurysm Alert


Frau Orphy-B; Dead.

It looks like a school text book from the early 90s. Im sure my brother had something similar for HE.

The Grenfell chat today has helped me put my finger on what bothered me about her awful article

Spoiler: Content: trauma

The same quote calls back to Lockerbie, too

 

[Foxvint]

Grace Dent is actually working class and her book is funny and moving. Shame to see a quote from her on the front. Or on the advertising at all

20 bleeping pound - not very thrifty

Spoiler: Exclusive: Jack’s ‘Home Hacks’

Jack’s Top Home Hacks!

1. Buy a house
2. No, not THAT house. A bigger one.
3. Use other people’s money to do so.
4. Furnish with existing puddle goods.
5. Crowdfund for new puddle goods.
6. Relax in your new home Write HH4: isn’t renting awful?
7. Tell any landlord-adjacent family not to read HH4
8. Tell everyone your new landlady/lord (tbc) is a right bastard. Point to tip jar, coyly.
9. Do photoshoot in crappy new home. Ensure the east wing & spa are not in the photos.
10. Find local Asda. Oh duck there’s only a Waitrose, Little Waitrose, Sainsburys, Organic Farm Shop and 15 Tesco Express within 15 miles. See if Asda do deliveries.

£20

£20?!? Rules out her NICHE then surely?!

Not at all the niche is well off middle class who gift this to their student children to learn about poors, or use it cosplay the austerity they read about in the Guardian to assuage their guilt, or gift it to poors at the food banks to educate them about budgeting

If this pile of tit is actually stocked in Sainsburys (or any other supermarket), then a clever worker needs to position a tinned hoop display by it's stand.

It's the only way. It must be done.

See the Sali Hughes thread, the Guardian jerk circle has a lot to answer for.

 

[MoistenedGussets]

She was suing an MP for saying she takes money off poor people..
£20 squigs worth of cash off poor people per book..

 

[AndrewsDaddy]

We'll, I guess we found out where those awful mumsy headshots came from... What about the stunt hair???

Bridgeton Jack? Jane Austen Jack?

 

[Lazarus]

Jacks key problem is that she has no sense of self whatsoever. Whatever image she's projecting you'd really have no idea if it's been a stylist, someone she's copied or her own idea. There's nothing wrong with experimenting or changing your look but it would be very hard to pick something out and say "that's Jack" though in fairness the grey poverty jumper is becoming something of a signature. Maybe she's finding herself at long last.


Thank you. It's all quite encouraging so far, getting good results on my blood tests and certainly feel better overall. Just moulting like a cat in summer. Send wiggos.

Didn’t you think ahead and have a continuity wig made? 🫣

Marmite & posh jam. So thrifty, pals.

Yeah I thought about it some more after I posted.

 

[LadyGarden]

No thank(space)you, pal - some of us actually like our friends and family.

How on earth can Jack be skint with all the adverts, paid interviews, books and sponsorships over the year (Samsung won't have paid peanuts)? She hit the headlines at the right time and has been riding the poverty wave ever since. She should have managed a decent lifetyle even without the tin rattling and Patreon pisstake.

Jack won the lottery when she was styled by the media as the Princess of the Pov. Sadly she has pissed it away like Michael Carroll on a Saturday night bender.

I had a flick thru... It's a bit ... Wordy. There are a few more bits about JM.... Dull stuff

Do we think she's going to SUE THEM for LIBEL?
Jack fight, Jack fight!

I'm still quietly, softly chuckling at the description: Jack Monroe as Rosie the Riveter with a pompadour hairstyle!

 

[linzilou]

Not sure if anyone has posted this, it’s been doing the rounds on political Twitter.

This describes her cult followers down to a tea, the author was trying to encourage critical thought of all things…

Ugh...there's a bit on JM in this book. Not terribly flattering tho

Post it.
Do it.

 

[Nurseali]

Sorry my lovely fraus. I will be buying it. I usually buy a workout DVD and slimming world book in January after my Xmas excess.
I do think though this books effects would do a much better job

Giving me Aunt Sally from Worzel Gummidge vibes.

£20?! That's quite expensive even for a cook book isn't it?
