I hope she's a "picker upper". Coops and Content might defile the communal garden
Oh, you just know she isn't.....

Paging Jimmy Nail........

what utter shit. Does she seriously expect anyone to believe this nonsense?

I’m over 30 and under 50 with no kids and I would love somewhere like that as because I don’t have kids I would be able to have amazing bbq/parties that go on all night before collapsing in the summerhouse.

Unless you're someone who reviews books, or is maybe working in the same area as another non-fiction writer, you don't get sent random copies of books through some sort of writers' Secret Santa.

I reckon she's a performative picker upper- the kind that bag it, but don't take the shit bags home with them, and leave them against walls/near bins/hung on railings etc

I'm sure she once claimed to have never given away any books before, including all her childhood ones.

My book collection gets weeded quite regularly. Whilst it's big, it's not unruly (unlike some people's labia )

Her total indifference to libraries is my aneurysm.
Maybe she's scared of them? Actual Poors go in them sometimes. She might have to take her stab vest*

* Ours do have security guards. Joys of where I live!

The flat itself is fine, I’m not dissing the flat though it isn’t to my taste. It’s more that you wouldn’t be able to have all day or all night parties more than once or twice. Partly because the neighbours would probably have your guts for garters directly (and would never forgive you!), and partly because as it’s Thorpe Bay the council would actually bother to deal with the noise complaints your neighbours would inevitably bombard them with. Thorpe Bay is boring and quiet mainly because the locals like it boring and quiet. Noisy parties bring down property values

I'm sure all these imaginary authors who gave Jack promotional copies are thrilled that not only does she not review them, she puts them into free public circulation.

The long life own brand milk was rank. I still can't stand cows milk.

Although, in her defence I think it's quite clear that Jack has never felt guilt so would have no real concept of what would cause it.

Just lean into it and dye all your clothes black, tenderstem. Gets the thirsty dads going and bam, donations.

In all seriousness I hope things improve soon
That was my aneurysm. The "I was depressed and dyed everything black." Not that she wasn't depressed. I'd be depressed if I were Jack. But the level of depression she described--I was there. I was hospitalized multiple times, fuck. And the thought of dying ALL my clothing black to express my depression never crossed my mind. It was too much work to get out of bed, to brush my teeth, to shower. I was too tired to express myself with pen and paper, with crayons, with words to my husband. I know people experience mental illness differently. But the depth she describes, she was just to fucking busy and engaged (online).

Then again, she never did dye all her clothing, did she? But to me it is an example of Jack's one-uppsmanship of all maladies, problems, concerns, fears. But she doesn't know enough to playact convincingly. The crumbly teeth, the crumbly bones, not being able to go upstairs, the addictions, the trauma, the PTSD, the oppression. We all got problems. If there were an Olympics of Oppression and Pain, Jack would be on the national team.

The fact that a palace like that is referred to as a ‘flat’ is my aneurysm. Have u not seen the conditions in Nottingham cottage that poor h &m were subjected to?

Are there any massive warehouse style apartments on south end? The type you see in films set in New York. Maybe that's where Foghorn Beghorn is moving to.
I've been picturing her in one of the apartments from Marvellous Mrs Maisal with 20 rooms and a maid.

Good point. Our landlord refers to our flat as an “apartment” even though it’s basically a little box its actual address is sort of, Apartment 7, 31 Wotsit Lane, etc. I’ve got used to it now, but sometimes I do remember how stupid it is, and this is one of those times. The Thorpe Bay flat is a lovely spacious apartment.

It annoys me that people are always recommended Dishoom when asked where go in Edinburgh. Its not even the best Indian in a mile radius.

One of the residents in the block of flats my boyfriend used to live in had chickens and the communal garden was always covered in bird shit. That's what I've been picturing when I imagine sharing one with Jack.
