I picture them as being in cupboard in the dark, the cupboard door slowly creaking open to reveal them any time she posts on twitter
There are 22 light bulbs in my house.
My kingdom for a slop!

Imagine giving your books away before even selling any. Is anyone else seeing a
flaw in this charade?

Ah the good old bread buns, bread rolls, barms, baps, etc etc! I worked in a bakerymadness. absolute madness
jack! please do something before we devolve into bread roll discourse!
when I was younger and being the north east we made and sold stotties. While they are still available nowadays, their "big brother", the fadge, I fear has disappeared from circulation! If you ever mention fadges around here nowadays (mostly to younger people or those outside of the immediate area)...well, you don't half get a strange look!
I believe in Northern Ireland/Ireland the fadge has potato in it (those Irish...
) but here they were just big flat bread rounds.
For the southerners - below is the stottie: around 2" deep and precisely 6" wide (at our bakery). Fadges were the same depth but 10" wide. You could make a single sandwich to feed 4-6 people at lunchtime out of one!

I am very jealous of your lovely-sounding grandparents - my only living grandmother when I was young was a witch, so no happy memories there.
However, our parents let us have a Snowball or a Babycham at Christmas and New Year, so we weren't completely deprived. I wouldn't thank you for either of them these days, the thought of drinking Advocaat makes me want to hurl (and I drank far too many brandy & Babychams in my early drinking years to go anywhere near them now I'm old/more mature). Put myself off both of them for life, I did.Heck, Jack, look what you've done to us! I'm talking about baps (of the bread kind)! We're almost as boring as YOU! #jackmonroegrifter
As you were, ninnies.
My mother used to give me a glass of sherry if I did the ironing. I was about 12 or 13. Ironing is the only housework I don't deeply despise.
And even more infuriating when you see all the opportunities and connections she's had and just pissed away by being a crappy unprofessional person. As Mom Nigella said when she was hawking Jack's patreon, it is unfathomable how someone with seven books and all that work is only scraping by.
I think she's had hundreds of thousands go through her fingers, and has left more on the table, but hasn't managed to keep it because she's a shopping (and maybe other things) addict.
Eta: word @MadelineBassett - I've been freelance/self employed for seven years and love it, however hard it is. If Jack truly couldn't hack it any more but genuinely cared about her causes, she could get a job with a charity.... I suspect there are many reasons why she doesn't/can't
I'm not sure if he's the one out of pocket
Don't other squigs pay for one and then he forwards it on? I noticed he was charging £19.99, so profiting while looking like the good guy. Sounds like someone else we know...
Is this going to one of those things I google and end up having an awkward conversation with IT over

Made from ... potatoes (not dire)!

Is she now a "has bean"?!

I made the new thread. There were two thread title suggestions with the same number of likes to I had to make a decision myself (actually just asked Psychic Slopbot), please don't wish for me to literally stop breathing.

There was a smol chaos with the thread titles as there were two with the same number of likes. I asked Psychic Slopbot for assistance and he chose this one from @FlirtyThirty so congratulations, your prize is an all expenses paid trip to Per Rialto. Enjoy the gelato, I hear it's peripatetic...
