That Forensic Man

Is anyone planning to pre-order/buy Grifty Kitchen? There's a few things in it I want to see now that probably makes it worth a punt at half price, we could have a communal canal copy.
Despite that being 20p in Jack's pocket I've got a way to make up for it via the slopathon, so no worries there.

@MrsFawlty I don't even know what a tortoise is

It's utter bollocks and makes me very angry.

I've worked with and do work with people who are on that sort of amount when they are on a taper for detox. For context it's about 500ml/750ml of whiskey a day. It's irresponsible to suggest that long term consumption at that level can just be stopped without serious immediate consequences. It's irresponsible to suggest that just stopping drinking 200+ units a week can be done just like that and you'll be fine. The people I work with are exhausted, broken and have got themselves into some really difficult and chaotic situations. They most certainly aren't living their best life after a week.

Hold my beans

Has she ever talked about long term effects of drinking 200 units a week? Other than looking like a cross between Rose West and Benny from Crossroads?

Hello! Been lurking for a while but first time poster. Can someone explain to me who Harold is? It’s been really bugging me!

He also 1. Wears hats like hers and they used to have fun counting them


2. Has mugs and crockery like hers which means they’re “as good as married”

3. Has to stay with her til next spring cos she put him in her new book acknowledgements, which he “took quite well”

4. Dumped her stupid ass 3 weeks after she posted 3. above in “a bolt from the blue after a lovely weekend away”. No idea what went wrong. Such a curve ball!

Oh PS he also has parents that she made

Is "£29 from Prowler" on the inventory...?

Well she has a drawer full of them, so multiply by the number you'd get in a bedside drawer... could be as many as 10, so £290. Though she wasn't specific about it being a bedside drawer, it could be anywhere in the shitty bungalow.

Perhaps they are in one of those sideboard drawers that she leaves slightly ajar. So that any prospective OHs might catch a glimps and get horny. (I feel even worse now)

I cannot anything. Tbh, I struggle to find my own house on Google maps, and I'm definitely not someone you ever want to ask for directions though!

Pretty sure that was Jack trolling her.

Account now deleted of course.

Oooo, why did Fagin and Pick a pocket or two come to mind? Perfect for our Jacksie!

I'm afraid these accounts don't come for free...

You've got to grift a squigg or two, huns, you gotta grift a squigg or two.

Jack Monroe, what a crook,
Didn't refund, what she took...
Charities fine, subscribe to mine, you gotta pick a pocket or two huns. You gotta grift a pocket or two..

What are the chances that whatever crockery he bought she'd have matching

And the bank of yellow American High School style lockers. Every smol one bed flat needs those.

I can't anything either. Without specific names etc . Jack overshares enough though so it's all good . I do have a surprisingly good sense of direction though!

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.

Jack being dumped, never gets old.

My theory on Dordrecht is Jack and Harold 'discussed' the book acknowledgement while they were there, Jack pushed it in her weird way and he ran for the hills. Because that is bunny boiler type stuff unless you've discussed it beforehand.
