It will be a lovely day with many, many, many friends. Filled with hilarity, group hugs, home cooked brownies, more hugs, and copious cups of tea. Matt Gloss will be there with his paint charts as they softly, gently etc. Small Boy will say something wise beyond his years. Etc etc.

I'd like more information about the time a foodbank volunteer asked Jack for money and she refused.

Ahhh she's so *diligent* when it comes to leeching money off her followers for non existent court cases with lawyers who work for free.

So she has admitted to more accounts, so quite easy to move money into them and thus leaving others depleted, but not actually proving lack of funds, just hiding them. Clear as mud there then

That Forensic Man

Jack could buy it and do a Delia chaos "let's be aving you" "off you pop cockwombles"

Or big Dave, he's got a few £m

@WoolyMammoth please add that clause about getting crisps or her filthy shoes on our furniture, thankyou tenderstem

She is just so thoroughly unpleasant isn’t she? You’re so busy feeling sorry for yourself Jack because you don’t have the things you think you should have (mortgage free house with orangery, spouse, unlimited disposable income etc) that you can’t see that the reason your life is shit is you. You’re a horrible, selfish, cruel person. You’ve had so many amazing opportunities over the last 10 years that you’ve pissed up the wall (or shoved up your nose). Instead of lashing out like a petulant toddler at anyone who questions you why don’t you try stepping back, doing some self reflection, and being an adult who is accountable and responsible for themselves and their actions.

Please congratulate me, for I have found the original of chapeau, and I wasn't even trying

How to eat: a crisp sandwich

This month, How to Eat is munching on a complex dish rarely discussed in polite society. Do you use butter or mayo? Is white bread essential? Do Wotsits work?

Actually, dear tenderstem, in the vernacular having notions means being a bit up yourself. So she is using it correctly here. Only accidentally though, I’m sure.

Is this like how scundered means something different in the country than Belfast?

back to Jack-she has no idea how much is in linekar’s bank account. Maybe he overspends too and is left with nothing. And as for wonky thinking they are friends…..

It's weird to think that @Lucy Aeroplane has done more overtly for food banks this week than Jack.

On which point, if you haven't seen Lucy's post because you've been grunking and had to skip a few, I'll remind you that you can sign up for a pampers voucher for some pull up pants which food banks are in short supply of. If you could get them from Sainsbobs or Asda and pop them in the foodbank donation box most stores have by the door, you may help someone in great need without even having to go anywhere out of your way.

Don't care that it's off topic. Shan't apologise.

How do you ring-fence funds when you:
A) didn’t ask people to put a reference on their donations
B ) use the same account as a tip jar
C) get good will payments for your unpaid advocacy work
D) didn’t put a message out at any point to say you’d reached the amount you’d need, so therefore
E) if money is still coming into that PayPal account, how does she know it is/isn’t for the purposes of suing Lee Anderson - especially given he’s been in the press recently and she has said fairly recently that she is still suing him

I’d be interested to know how it’s achievable to keep money aside when you don’t know that it isn’t still trickling in, or for what purpose.

Also asking the same question/raising the same points as above in relation to how she would identify how much of other peoples money should be donated to charity in the event Mark Lewis took on her case as pro-Bono. And does she get to decide which charity? It’s all so shady.

ETA:
I’d love someone to ask her about this.

Notions is like shorthand for notions of grandeur, as far as I’m aware.

I'm just dropping in from a lovely morning with the New York Times to let you all know that "ninny" is a word but "tincan" is not. (I don't make the rules, OK?

If Gary Lineker is anything like the rest of the population, I’m sure he’s got a bank account he hasn’t used in years with about £80 in it.

I have a Nationwide account I never use with about £150ish in it, and I don’t take it out because it’s safe there, and will be swiftly withdrawn and used if I’m on me uppers. I could screenshot that and it would mean fuck all in relation to what I have and haven’t got in total

yes, but you can also take a notion for something - I have a notion for a crisp sandwich which means I really want a crisp sandwich.

I was going to use one of Jack's recipes in my example but well, would have been more confusing as I don't think even wonky has a notion for any of Jack's cooking.

I've heard it used it in two distinct ways - "sure, you've no notion" = "you're clueless" / "och, her and her notions!" = "oh, she has ideas above her station". Same basic meaning, but slightly different contexts?

It’s lunacy! Imagine finding your partners account on twitter and having to scroll through them absolutely 24/7 thirsting over another random woman for YEARS. Call me old fashioned but it’s just utterly disrespectful. It’s like an emotional affair ….albeit one sided…cos JM clearly doesn’t give a shiny wee shite shite her.

There’s me attempting some Scottish at the end, In honour of Jack

Just before that he was making a chicken, ham and leek pie, and he used some muslin and carabinas to drain the veg wrap up some herbs and infuse the stock. He then gave a shout out to his Aunty Jenny as he was using her funeral chicken gravy recipe.

The show was based around helping families feel more confident cooking from scratch/improve their wellbeing. They did tests before and after and all the families came out better for it. It was so lovely I was welling up (although I am obscenely hormonal so this may not be an accurate reading of the show).
