What's she on about with peppercorn rent?! I pay peppercorn rent or ground rent as a leaseholder. Is she getting confused with Ye Olden Days and Surfs and Land Squires?
It's just a word she's heard goes with rent.

My new build office pays a few quid a month peppercorn rent to the developer for Reasons. And it's literally a very few quid.

I sincerely doubt there is anything peppercorn about the rent incomes Jack's rellies get (or got).

Nice white walled kitchen there.

On top of everything else I've now got covid. Feel dreadful. That's why I've not written up my Peach Drizzle Brick effort.
Sorry to hear that, tender one... Are we sure the Peach Brick hasn't made things worse? Sending healing-os.

Good morning. Dropping in to say that the Guardian recipes were my first encounter with La Monroe. I remember criticising her for appropriating the names of national dishes for her half formed slop and I was accused of being a snark or a snob or whatever. Which made me feel pretty shitty and blunted my gut feeling that there was somethng off about her to the point I once bunged her £20 out of guilt. So imagine my joy when I realised my first impressions were right, right, right. Thank you restoring my trust in my own judgment. Now fuck off (sorry, don't know how to hide text).

Red flag sign of a crank if you fall out with family members over political differences of opinion. Unless your bro is Goebbels get the fuck over yourself. If you're confident in your principles they can stand up to either robust debate or tacit disagreement. Of course Jack can't accept either. Throwing a brother away over a difference of stance is odious.

Amazing, isn’t it - the famous Self Sustaining Argument.

I have a feeling that's not what the estrangement was about and that Jack's doing her usual DARVO with that explanation.

How much more damage can she do? And is there *anything* she hasn't lied about? I believed the sober act like a fool, because why would you lie about something like that? I know better now, but .

I wonder if she deleted her twatter because she wants rudies with her Tony Hart paintshop man.
Anyone seeing her twitter would feel their nuts shrivel and block her.

Direct report Jack would be utterly unsufferable, other than the fact that she would be absent a lot and you wouldn't have to hear her whiny horrible voice too often.
Would have lasted (maybe) a day with me... Then again, she wouldn't have passed the interview stage.

I very strongly suspect Harold decided to check her twitter one sunny morning in Dordrecht and that was what caused the problems.

I don't believe she argued with her brother about politics. I think when that family gets together around the table their views are all pretty much the same, regardless of what she pretends to be in the media. And that includes Big Not Really A Marxist Dave OBE.

I think she told a tale of punching him in the face which if true (lol) would suggest the estrangement is from his side rather than hers. I reckon (reckoning things about jacks life that I have no insight into is my no. 1 hobby these days) that the brother won't be around her hence her not being included in family events. eg. littlest bro delivering her sunday dinner to her rather than her (& her son that lives with her for defs) being at the family table.
