Freaks me out that you can be in another country in just a few hours. I could drive for three days and still be in Australia.

The journey to Wales by train will be a similar amount of time and changes as France, from where she lives.

We are Jack free here though!
Last time I travelled interstate I saw a wallaby and a koala walk out of a forest together. So cute, but they were probably planning a massacre. Hehe.

That's true . Although the way things are going I wouldn't be surprised if she got a head transplant and emigrated .
On a much smaller scale, obviously because I can't elevenerife Australia- years ago, I took my son out on a lovely walk while we were on holiday in Cornwall. We came across a stoat 'playing' with a baby rabbit .

She totally will show up and give the usual retelling of the poverty.
There’s a new moon tomorrow so I’m hoping we get a train chaos thrown into the deal, probably on insta at this rate!
some black pudding and cooking bacon porridge for SB before he heads off to school in the morning? Recipe to follow.

I remember seeing this live

I'm most disturbed by the chicken dish at the end. That chicken looks grey.

Ruth and Eamonn are masters at the non reaction to slop. No natural reaction of mmmm on their faces at all. Pros.

The chicken looks dire.

I think the most they can muster for the salmon pasta is “you can taste salmon flavour”

Four hours minimum.... She'll need to get up at 4.30. or.... Stay in a hotel. It costs a lot of money to discuss poverty

Or just turn up late in the pleather leggings, dirty boots, and pov jumper combo we’ve come to love so much. Maybe throw on the £300 jacket to talk about poverty.

I thought the first was a blog post--but it's a Guardian piece? What fucking editor let that get through? Or was her tone considered cheeky and acceptable because she was, ahem, working class? What a bitchy cunt.

Also, being a published cookbook author doesn't mean as much as Jack states--her cookbooks aren't based on a career of study and work in food. They are based on a character she developed. Which means that plenty of other home cooks have better cooking skills than Jack (or skills in different cuisines). Not surprisingly. But her skin is so thin and her ability to engage is so lacking (not because she's on the spectrum as she would have it but because mean girls never do learn great social skills). Most people who love food love to talk about it. And don't write about it as "I made this thing. And fuck you."

Thin-skinned, dirty-handed cunt.

My dad and uncle went to one of the expensive grammar schools on full scholarships and were fine socially.
God knows, I pirated everything or bought/borrowed the CD and ripped it 99p for singles and £9.99 for albums?

someone has put a picture of the house plan of the shitty bungalow on haunted bird. Wow it’s big isn’t it. The storage in the bathroom alone!

Well that confirms I did in fact triangulate the shitty bungalow-not-bungalow yesterday, because those plans match exactly. That's what you get for posting every detail of your life online, including photos of the skip in your driveway that you've hired because you're a thieving hoarder - people with plenty of time on their hands will painstakingly and forensically pick apart your lies just for the satisfaction of confirming you're a lying CUNT!!

Btw, if anyone has seen the floorplans and is confused, the big room UPSTAIRS in the BUNGALOW is marked as bathroom, but is in fact the master bedroom.

However, travelling by train might give her a "legitimate" excuse for a no-show. As in, train was late, train was already full when it got to the station, train broke down en route, etc etc

ETA: and accompanied by a rant about how the Tories have destroyed affordable and reliable transport for the povs who don't have cars

She’s been up all night since her very -obviously-engineered meeting at the paint shop
Oh honey, the Guardian are poor. Didn’t you see them grifting every time you click on a link?

Evening fraus. I’ve been have a little bit of a late night musing about Jack and her grief vulture tendencies/ appropriating of other people’s trauma/ pathological lies and it’s been ringing a little bell. She reminds me somewhat of Tania Head, the woman who for years was one of the leading figures of the survivors of 9/11 after she lost her husband in the attacks and barely made it out alive herself. Except none of it was true. She wasn’t even in the country that day.

She had sucked up the real survivors stories and become one of them. No one dared question it because you don’t want to be that arsehole and the threat of her poor mental health was also deployed as a deflection strategy. There’s plenty of articles and a good documentary about it if anyone is interested and doesn’t know the story already.

i see so many similarities between her and Jack, although there was never any indication that she made money out of it. Whereas I would suggest that Jack has made a fortune out of it.

Apologies for the tangent… as you were.
