Good luck seeing the lights from there. I'm further than that and we don't always see them either. She's probably lying anyway, the lady cunt. Scotland is a trek once you get out of the central belt. How will her arthritic arse cope? It can also be dangerous for dogs, a lot of them go missing on the Beinns, especially when not familiar with the extreme terrain and weather. It change in minutes. Jack doesn't have a fucking clue.

If I lived where she lived I would take my (actual) teen to Brighton for the weekend. Seems like a good teen place. OR JUST TO FUCKING LONDON! He liked Harry Potter, take him to the bastard studios. We live in the NE and I’ve taken mine twice.
I’ve taken mine all over the north to cities and to the Lake District. It’s not hard. I just follow them aimlessly round shops.

Jack what the FUCK are you talking about? You've *chosen* to sleep on the sofa in your three bedroom house which takes over £3k a month to run. What point do you think you are making?

Previously untyped sentence: I really am sick of hearing about royal cock.
Have you read it? I’m about 2/3rds in and could describe Harry’s “South Pole” (not joking, exact quote) better than my OH he mentions it that much… oh and Willy’s too!

Also I hope she realises Haz sold more books in one branch of Waterstones than she has in the entire country

Mr D's Mum lives in the middle of one of them. If you're lucky, the stars are amazing after midnight when all the street lights are off and nobody's left their security lights on because it's pitch black and perfect for burglars/a guaranteed way to end up head first in a river or leat. Trouble is, to get away from the village, you need a car or you're likely to come a cropper courtesy of

a) blanket bogs
b) ditches
c) pissed up Cornishmen on the way home from a pub
d) rapidly changing and actually incredibly dangerous weather - hypothermia in the middle of a heatwave isn't unusual
e) the Hairy Hands
f) the Evil Rider
g) Vixana the Witch
h) Adders
i) Unexploded Ordinance
j) cattle
k) ponies
l) ticks
m) poachers/lampers/nutters
n) valley mires
o) combines travelling to the next farm during harvest
p) featherbed bogs
q) flash floods/river rising
s) military movements
t) rabbit holes
u) tors
v) quarries
w) the stables (where something has died in a mire and fertilised the surrounding area)
x) a farmer with a gun and no more patience with uncontrollable dogs
y) local lads pissed off with twats camping and shitting over their Dad's land
z) getting lost because it's fucking isolated, the mobile signal is variable, there's no chance of calling it quits and getting a cab back to civilisation



The last thing that Moorland Rescue needs is their time taken up with wailing twats and their mutts because they wanted a jolly experience and ended up with a Hound of the Baskervilles style debacle instead.

Oh lovely, it's not that you are not worth it. Not at all. Please try not to think that. My mother was the same. If she could be bothered to give me any gift (and more often than not she didn't) she would thrust it at me telling me it was something she was given that she didn't like/want and then in same breath show me some spensy item she had bought herself as a treat. It's taken me many years and many tears, but I know it said nothing about me and everything about her.

She's done the same with my kids. Two of them she never even sends birthday cards to, which has helped me understand it's all her toxicity.

(I tried to spoiler this but my buttons are greyed out)

I’ve just spent 100 hours today painstakingly and relentlessly compiling this dossier on “how many times Jack monroe tells the twitter that she sleeps on the couch”

Now then, where’s my honorary degrees x 2?
These are far more amusing if you replace the word "couch" with "gooch"

I might need to sleep.

Nooooo, don't let her sully Scandinavia too. Half my family live there, they don't need Jack poisoning the water and leaving bags of shit everywhere.

Lord she’s desperate to bury something isn’t she? Going on and on and on about the ~move~ for fkng months (boring) and now is having ~feelings~ about handing her notice in. Jesus Christ all mighty ever loving God of home owners will someone shut her up!

She said she's heard a clip of it on Twitter. TBF, it's EVERYWHERE. I'm only on page 103 ("free" pdf version ) but it feels like I've read the whole thing.
Ooh you scamp Marm! Although I used my refund for Grifty Kitchen to pay for my Spare #ThriftyTips

Why does she use the word 'couch'? Is that an Essex thing? Or is she trying to make some sort of class-based point?

I'd have thought that 'sofa' was the default term pretty much everywhere in the UK over the past 20 years. Maybe 'settee' for a slightly more down-at-heel equivalent, but that's pretty old fashioned now, isn't it?
