Jack Monroe #41 No one else gaslights or fights for 'likes' like Jack Monroe. Oops.

I've seen her mention she's disabled before , did she ever say how ?

Arthritis, or her unseen ones, autism maybe.

Found these replies on Insta. So Mrs J LEFT 10 weeks ago, nice to throw it venomously about again! The flowers she posted from her ‘friends’ including blue bird books, were to cheer her up after the breakup, not connected to the DW debacle, despite her making it look like it was. Then she gaslit the follower when it was pointed out how he was to know, and rightly he calls her out. Ironically I’m not sure if he was meant to sound like Vicky Pollard off Little Britain, in his response, but that’s the voice I read it with in my head View attachment 175075View attachment 175077

Could someone please translate the last part...what is that!!!???

What with this absolute clown and that Tom Kasabian bleep I’m ready to smash something today. I came off FB for my mental health and after today I think I might delete Twitter too

Someone mentioned this before, is there any more information on it? I'm surprised, if it is true, that we haven't heard more from her about it, what with her tales of woe. I would have thought she'd become the face of carbon monoxide detectors at the very least.

It probably didn’t happen.

Lol I know, that’s why I read it like Vicky Pollard, it’s just so, “ yeah but no but yeah but’ Basically he’s telling her to shut the duck up and watch a film if she wants drama Jack didn’t respond. Don’t think she could decipher it either

That doesn’t make any sense at all, especially given that the entire point in getting a diagnosis is to access support. If a psychiatrist or educational psychologist came to their house, her parents would almost certainly have paid for it privately. Why pay for a diagnosis to help your child get support, then pretend it never happened? Bullshit.

Ex-bleeping-actly. Especially given that this supposedly happened 20+ years ago, when so much less was known about autism - especially in girls - and it was much less diagnosed too.

I think she’s just trying to paint herself as a victim of mean, backwards, autism-phobe parents

Ex-bleeping-actly. That could not have been more transparent.

As far as I remember, Jack herself didn't mention Penguin.

I should stop deleting screenshots after I've posted them

I do too! My camera roll was just like ‘Oh, come on!’

Your grandfather was well off Jack - “he’s dead”
You went to grammar school too - “I failed grammar school”
ok...

When is anger a problem?

Feeling angry sometimes is normal. But how you express your anger matters. Our information explains behaviours that cause problems, and where to get help.

Funnily I’m in a similar position with my employer re: maternity discrimination, it’s really difficult to prove anything and that’s the first thing anyone you tell will say to you. I’ve been putting off compiling print screens of slack messages & WhatsApps that go some way to substantiate my...

I think she said she was too ashamed to seek help. In this context, I'd rather swallow my pride and avoid selling my child's favourite cuddly toy dinosaur but there we are.

Plus, there's no way SB's paternal family wouldn't know that she'd sold his toys or didn't have light bulbs as his dad picked him up and returned - at such a young age, he would have brought him into the house. If it were so bad, I doubt he'd have brought him back to live like that, and likely to contact social services. Live with a loving father who can feed him and light the roof over his head without selling his child's things, or with a mother embracing poverty porn? No brainer, even temporarily. I have no doubt that they would also have contacted her family to tell them, given that they all appear to live locally.

Would highly recommend. I’ve deleted both Insta and Twitter apps recently and feel much better for it. Hope it helps if you decide to do it.

I'll do it.

You'll get

Genuinely Disabled (complete with the medication stored in the not-£3000 fridge and the kitchen cupboard with non-temperature controlled medication in shot)
Talks openly about it (because having tit genetics and an immune system that hates being idle is nothing to be ashamed about) when I can be bothered because I'm bleeping bored after over 40 years of it.
Uses various, cheap items (such as a £2 knife sharpener, a £30 microwave, a £5 jar opener or a free Mr D) to deal with FRESH ingredients.
Doesn't usually use tins because they're harder to get into than any other packaging (other than the skin of a Swede or Butternut Squash), but has a nifty way with a tablespoon that can get most ringpulls up at no additional expense. Or I just get Tetrapacks and use a pair of scissors.
Could use frozen - a bag of peas or butternut squash isn't that esoteric - and it's handy to put the excess soup in there ready for 'I can't be bleeping arsed' days.
Decent, affordable, accessible, NUTRITIOUS, NICE TASTING & ATTRACTIVE recipes.


Oh, and I wouldn't be arseing about with patronising people who are perfectly able to cook but have been buggered up by a dodgy hand or hip.

The main difference would be no crushing garlic with the heel of a knife (as that hurts), I'd be thumping it with a tin or lightweight steel pan,
No impossible to lift cast iron pots costing more than a week's wages.
There would be a comfortable seat and table for preparing food, rather than standing up all the time,
I'd do my awesome Raspberry Ripple recipe.
No Need to Knead Bread. Possibly with a passing reference to breadmakers being nice but not essential, but more using sourdough techniques without the expensive enamel pot to heat and then carry around the kitchen. Or a pot of doom festering on the countertop.
You'd probably get some good shots of me limping or dealing with a hand hurting.
and there would be NOTHING resembling 'Oh look, aren't I grand for teaching helpless disableds to cook?'. So no CRIP KITCHEN WITH JACK MONROE.


Hit my people up, Jack. I'm game.

I can show you how to cook onions if you like.

Sounds spot on! genuine, helpful, actually sounds like my kitchen set up. I have an Instant Pot too that helps. The swede/squash thing, I microwave then whole for 6 minutes or so, makes it easier to cut. You could try the hitting a cleaver with a mallet technique I used to cut things up when my right hand was in plaster.

I had a carbon monoxide leak in my flat. Must have been at least 15 years ago. Was from the heating I had in my flat at the time. It was warm air vents. Oddly enough I kept thinking I could smell gas. I know carbon monoxide has no smell but I could smell something

I called the repair team. The repair man came out and went mad at me.

The flame on the pilot light was white and not blue and he said you should have known. I didn’t.

What saved me oddly enough was the fact that this flat is old and the windows don’t close properly in every room.

My ex landlord has been putting carbon monoxide detectors in their homes for at least ten years now.

Is it not mandatory? I’m sure it is here in Scotland. Yes it is. Just checked and has been from 2015.

Its not mandatory for LLs here to do it, the tenant is advised to get one.

 

[Marmalade Atkins]

Wait she followed them? Surely it's the other way around.

I just checked some of them. They seem to be mutual follows, so we can probably expect some interviews soon.

I imagine this is the scene in a particular crappy bungalow right now...

That sounds like such a depressing cooking show, most people just watch cooking for escapism, I like to cook and still watch mostly things I know I won’t make as it’s calming and nice to watch

 

[help i need some help!]

I reckon she thinks it makes her sound authentic: proppa workin clarse and unedumacated.

and to think she called people racist for questioning the pronunciation of Dr Rangan's name on DKL

 

[emm]

Sorry if I'm being incredibly stupid but what language is this script? (the Twitter text, not Jack's words )

It's beautiful!

It also looks similar to Burmese, one of my colleagues is from Myanmar and when she writes Burmese it looks similar

Is she taking the piss? She would find a solution quickly? Not the highly trained, experienced, qualified pharmacist? That’s not how dispensers work, they dispense , wheres Jimmy Djokovic?
