Look, guys, can you all come back from the PS thread please?
This is VERY naughty behaviour.

WARNED.

I am going to have to. I love this thread because of the humour. Can't find much humour in the PS threads, all a bit dark and depressing.

ETA I think that what is happening to PS and TM does need documenting and commenting on, but it's not like watching our Jack make a fool of herself...AGAIN. Sorry for shouting.

I think we have competition - the schofield thread with everyone waiting to see the Eamonn interview was comedy gold.....really makes me wish I'd been here for the DKl live watchalongs.
OT but I laughed so much reading that thread. It was like the watchalong here when 30p Lee was on GBNews, with so many people (self included) seeing GBNews for the first time and discovering how truly dire it is.

Karen opens her garage door and there's 500 tubes of deodorant just sitting there.
Voiceover: These cost 2cents each but they're a scent none of the family can stand and Kevin came out in a rash, so now they're just ... here.

And it would drive me spare not knowing what I was eating until I got to the supermarket and knew what was on offer - I plan my meals for the week and do a shopping list before I go out. I can't imagine doing that when I'm standing in the supermarket aisles.

Someone has been on a dirty delete...

ETA: Looks like Beach Body II: Revenge of the Claw is cancelled.

Sorry if this is stupid question, but do the 2 Dr’s of grift or whatever they were count?
Not at all. Those are honourary degrees, given for noble service of some kind or a big fat donation to the uni so they wouldn't make any difference.

Did a TV show once. Is some 'expert' on retail. Celebrity lesbian.
Instrumental in changing charity shops from somewhere you could get cheap clothes when you were skint to places where you'd be charged more for a knackered Primark T-shirt with bleach stains on the hem that it was brand new because 'We're not a charity, you know. We're a business raising money for a charity'.

Her employer seems to do PR for The Hut Group, who own MyProtein. This story smells like an undeclared ad for them.

If she's happy to make do with a limited diet bulked out with industrial by-product protein powders / bars / puddings, then fair play to her. But it's not a sensible option for most people, and really shouldn't be being promoted liked this in the national press.

(Guest, of course, claims to feed 3 people for £20/week, so her budget is actually tighter still)

Just checked across the road to make sure Jack is still sober ... and happy - aaand yes indeedy there it is.
I believe her because I, myself, often feel the need to remind anyone who'll listen that I'm sober and happy ... and living a life beyond my wildest dreams.

Big donation it was then
That would explain where some of the Patreon money went, hmm.....
But seriously, most universities' annual roster of honourary degrees consist of a sleazy businessperson or two who forked out a bug donation (often as distraction from their ethically questionable behaviour), and a couple of (alleged) do-gooders so the uni can point to them as examples of the uni's commitment to inclusion and social justice blah blah blah. guest falls into the second category .

I have heard that the company taking over The Hut group has realised My Protein is the only profitable arm of the company, and their prices are though the roof with a DFS sale element thrown in. When I put a scoop of flavoured whey in my breakfast porridge I definitely stay fuller for longer but as said you aren't buying that if you're trying to spend under £100 a month on groceries.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I’ve only just noticed—


Does this mean she has given up blogging?
And how special is she that Jack is an author AND a writer?
It feels like that “etc.” is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Babe, same x

I feel like if I made a knob joke on that thread nobody would find it amusing, so not really my vibe.
