No.The apples are ripe,
The plums are red,
The pistachios are sweating in the fancy Smeg
(Was it just my school that sang that song?
Because you've now given me an earworm that can drown out my Tinnitus. Frankly, I preferred the low grade hissing noise to anything about ink and pages.
Dear Jack
You're not being "an autistic" you're just an hole. Who happens to have autism (apparently).
Not all people with autism have similar traits. It manifests differently in each person because "autistics" are human beings.
Each different and unique.
Sincerely
People (both autistic and neurotypical) everywhere.

Also - those nut butters! If there ever was a case for food looking the same before and after digestion, I think we’ve found exhibit A
BFFsI think you and I would get on on the real world, detective.
And oh my god - yes about the Xbox slang and languageI wouldn’t mind so much, he’s growing up, nearly a teen like yours and let’s be honest, once they start secondary school and go on the bus, and hear stuff in the playground, all innocence around swear words disappears like that!
Just have to protect my 8-year-old (and my cat)

If it's through IG then you can report it to them. I'm not sure how hot IG are about taking action, Twitter for example are quite quick to remove abuse and quite happily suspend accounts for bullying.
No real advice just to say I know how you feel. Your kid being bullied is awful. We ended up moving our youngest to a different school. Schools can be hit and miss in dealing with it. Our school was shite but have friends who say their kids' schools were brilliant.
Good luck xx
Many years ago I foolishly bought a Smeg range cooker. It had one of the worst ovens I've ever used and I'm no Baker.
The thing only came with one rack and I had to go into Allders in Croydon and ask for a Smeg Suc
She’s autistic? Who knew? She’s only mentioned it half a million times in the last two years.
Also - further to her hating coriander, the Dal she made on DKL has got a huge handful in, and she’s eating it happily 
From that peanut butter article:
Jack Monroe uses salted peanuts because they tend to be cheaper, then roasts them again “to deepen the flavour”. As she rinses them afterwards, they are not overpoweringly salty
Of course she does

@choccydigestive I hope you get it sorted. We are going through slightly similar here, with one boy being a wee shite to my son. We’ve had a chat and I’ve explained he’s using him as he knows my son won’t answer/fight back. He’s also doing it to elevate his social standing in the group. Luckily the other boys are not noticing. It’s awful when you might need to speak to another parent. Hugs 
Does anyone on the planet know themselves better than Jack? No! She’s always bloody telling us what she’s good at ...being a pharmacist, thinking up things with her maverick brain, sorting out child poverty, calling out “ist”authors. Honestly, if she says once more “I’m very good at.......”, I swear I’ll hunt her down and kick her in the shins!

Please let school know. I work in education, and this sort of situation is even more insidious when it comes from so-called friends. Perhaps the last resort is a joint meeting with all students/ parents.... socially distanced, OBS... I'd suggest firstly agreeing on a plan of action with your son's school. The suggestion I made above is the final step, but those lads need to be called out, in a responsible way, for their actions. They can decide to change, or if not, I'd take it further. But never in a combative way...in a way where all involved feel heard but also know that behaviour is being clocked, and it's not OK to be behaving in this manner.

Minus the satisfying....
Next thread title..
#Jack Monroe - Are the pistachios still sweating in the Smeg?
Seeing as you were deprived of your thread title this time around I think you should automatically be granted the next.
Thank you. I will take a thorough, informed look, and decide what one is best for me....Also me 'Ooooh they do purple ones!'

This may be happening outside of school, but it's still a powerful response to let school know...and not generally, but keep a short record of dates/times/circumstances/what was said. It doesn't need to seem a big deal/interrogation of your son each day. Simply a chat. But.... School can support your son in many ways, despite a lot of bullying taking place off-site.

Found it - near the end of episode 9 with Shivi and Dr Rangan!
Matt asks Shivi for a quick snack, she says dates and roasted peanut butter; Jack asks Shivi if she ever made her own PB, Shivi says no and Jack agrees

As much as we joke about her creating fiction, this is one of the main reasons she would be no good as an author. She cannot grasp the idea of show, don’t tell. She should show us that she is all these things, then she wouldn’t have to tell us (and we would believe her!)
