Burger Boy back for Valentine’s Day did you say…

Why did I have to see this after ordering a McDonald's?

Grown ups were awful. Who here wasn’t sat in front of kids cartoon favourite “Watership Down”? awww cartoon bunnies DYING

Oh god, I went to see that at the pictures! Huge DYING bunnies!

Makes you think the most vocal Patreon supporters could be jack spending a quid to support herself

I might have a look later and see how many other there are like that!

Spoiler: OT public safety video mither

anyone else remember that animated one about a firefly (?) who played with matches and incinerated her entire village. I remember feeling a visceral emotional reaction to that (which I am now revisiting even as I write this) because I couldn't stop thinking about awful the firefly must have felt for burning down her town. So I spose it worked.

I remember this from when my son was small a good few years ago, think it was a space alien though. Anyway , the don't play with matches or lighters thing did work! He was forever terrified of my lighter and never touched it x

I think Awfully Molly returned because of the food fest, Cambs Lit announcements. You can feel her frustration here.

That film was our 'treat' in primary school! Permanently bloody traumatised by that. Bright eyes canget to duck

I will still bawl if I hear that blasted song

Babe, same x

 

[Thank(space)you]

We say this to people if they turn up a bit early for work! Such solemn professionalism

I frequently turn up to work early (because I'm BUSY) do people think I'm a SH1TTER

 

[HotesTilaire]

Molly is LJC or Big Dave, pass it on

 

[Boogs]

So many kids films/stories were traumatic. What about the ‘fake’ deaths. Yes I’m looking at you E.T and Aslan. Why put me through all that grief only to pop up again, only kidding!

 

[I'm not actually here]

Ugh. AM's return greeted by lots of so glad you are backs. The same sycophancy that Jack expects and thrives upon. I dislike this cult of Hellsite fame and adoration, wherever it lands.

Surely it’s just a promotional circuit generic round of book plugging on the local festival circuit though? I wouldn’t even be surprised if Rosemary had booked them before she LEFT knowing the book was at last imminent.

Just like Edinburgh last year when Jack was clearly meant to talk about the book due over a year before, now this year she can do the circuit to not talk about a book she refused to promote in a tantrum because Rosemary LEFT and Carole probably slighted her by gently suggesting her book really needed to be handed in one day. More MSG scales epi-pen chat from an increasingly irrelevant twit.

FFS What does this one want? The Stroud or Cambridge local newspaper to follow her incisive lead? Jack’s not going to be cancelled everything everywhere all at once because someone did a blog to say so (to become even more reliant on Patreons and PayPal given that she’s unemployable in any form of actual work). Jack’s on a slow but definitive fade out. Anyone can see that

Blogger clout chasers (shout out @Yel!) aren’t Woodward and Bernstein, Jack isn’t Nixon. FFS what an increasingly nonsensical pair of codependent tits the two of them are at this stage.

This one terrified me so much that the first time I went on an escalator, aged 7 or 8, I stood with my feet hanging over the edge of the tread so that there was no possibility of being crushed. But, inevitably, the jerky motion of the thing made me fall over and I ended up with a bloodied knee and forehead...

Back on topic: doesn't the lease on the crappy bungalow run out on Sunday? So perhaps we might not hear from Jack until the moving panic subsides... sometime late Sunday afternoon, maybe?

I was caught my the knee of my woolly tights on the spikey front bit of an escalator in a department store in Manchester aged about 5. In my memory an old lady fainted as we arrived at the top as she thought it was my hand caught. I did receive a sound spanking from my mother for getting accidentally caught up on an escalator and embarrassing her in public once we were out of public, the lifting you up by the hood of your coat and flaying at you kind. Looking at it kindly, it was possibly a panic response but it does stick in the memory.

To be fair, in the wake of Bridge Over Troubled Water, The Boxer, The Sound of Silence, I am a Rock, Mrs Robinson, Cecelia, Hazy Shade of Winter etc etc etc, I think Art Garfunkel probably bawls at just the thought of Bright Eyes, so you’re at least in good company.

Isn’t Aslan Jesus but a lion version? I’ve never actually read the book or even seen the film, but I think there was some sort of comparison in my RE half GCSE (no really). So there was a point in him dying and coming back to life. ET wasn’t a Jesus allegory though surely?

Playing devil's avocado here, very briefly. I reckon AM reckons she put a lot of hard work into her blog. Not her normal line of work, presumably. Feels (to her, and others) as though many journos aren't applying similar effort to out JM. And they aren't. Cos, deadlines etc, and why rock the boat when you can produce puff pieces rapidly and they get clicks and you get your 59p/word/column inch or whatever, right?

I was wondering this afty if one of JM's 4 Union memberships is the NUJ. It isn't that expensive, and she will mention that to any journo who interviews her if she is, and you don't come after your own, do you?

ETA : not on either of their sides, but was making an observation why AM may have returned right now. Above 2 paras badly phrased, even so!! I blame Friday!

True that, but anything that might help speed up the process is worthwhile IMO. I don't see anything wrong with pointing out her lies, especially since the publicity for Stroud is mostly fabrications or being economical with the truth. https://thesubrooms.co.uk/whats-on/jack-monroe-in-conversation-793

ETA: The same for Cambridge https://www.cambridgeliteraryfestival.com/events/jack-monroe-kit-de-waal-cost-of-living/

Little Boogs loved Aslan and had to be removed from class in school when we watched the cartoon version due to hysterical crying.

Talking of TV trying to scare us to death, does anyone remember Threads? I actually calculated the distance between the nuclear bomb dropping on Sheffield and my town at the time. Dead, slowly, but dead. duck you BBC scaremongerers

Back on topic: I'm sure Southend has been threatened by a nuclear attack in the past, Thorpe Bay to be precise. On Jack's street.
