Jack Monroe #524 Not the only or most important voice and presence in this critical area of our life

Grace Dent is firmly in the camp of people whose work I like but would never want to meet. I used to like reading her column back when I was in a fugue state and inexplicably watched a series of Big Brother (the one with Pete and Nikki) but got the feeling she was probably a bit of a cow to know.

If she reviewed me I don’t think I’d come across at all well
I like her reviews but she manifests a bit like a frightening incarnation of Charlie Brooker.

I dunno, I feel like her "food" is quite likely to gain sentience and be capable of brooding, lurking, and possibly stalking the unwary.

Why should Pumble be alone? Even a monster needs a mate.

This is one of my all time favourite films. Thankspaceyou

I think the New And Exciting Work has yet to be released from Congress’s declassified documents, it’s all very secret and Behind The Scenes y’see

Oh christ, she was working with Hunter Biden? They do have similar um issues. 10% for the Big Man was Big D?

They are indeed sultanas.

So, so bland

Thanks Bob. Have tried doing this but didn't seem to work.

Can I clarify: will I be able to see that it's spoilered on my own posts when it publishes? E.g. none of the previous posts I've put up today have had a spoiler link?

There's a review button so you can see how your post will look

 

[Witchfinder Sargeant]

Is there a grown-up around who can do the new thread? I did this one

 

[Julia Edwards]

Yes this!! You’re a wonder!

(and clearly I remembered it completely sideways but you still knew what I meant, thank you!)

I'm sure Awfully Molly started with the best intentions but the needless lies discredited her imo.

Same here, and wasn’t the claim originally when she “came out” that she was posing as a colleague (the immigrant) with an implication that colleague had then been doxxed (though obviously they weren’t Molly) rather than just making up someone to mask her own identity and random names being sent to be her?

guest creeping about on Twitter this afternoon - has liked two posts
Follower count still nicely dropping to pre-QT figures

It is National alcohol week, one of your specialist subjects mackie, why are you not highlighting it, signposting support sources?

 

[MurielSnark]

Can someone do a tutorial on how to spoiler a post? I can't seem to work it out.

Thank(space)you

Yes it absolutely does. You’d need to George foreman’s it, and add at the end. Chanterelles would probably be really good for this.

Ahem!

Sorry to interrupt - but who in their right mind would put Chanterelles* into a Monroe Slop Recipe?

Why take something (anything) edible - let alone delicious - and convert it into slop when you can achieve the same result by scraping that black stuff off the outside of old "pot" plant pots and lovingly, tenderly, forensically adding it to cat sick?

*or anything else with a vitamin in it

If they're yellow stickered and starting to go moist then yes, add chanterelles.

I'm not at all convinced that makes much sense as a substitute, either. I don't like aubergine, but doesn't it just turn to goo if you cook it for any length of time? Lamb, generally, doesn't do that. The obvious substitutes for lamb would be beef if you don't mind meat or maybe tofu or mushrooms if you don't.

I stand corrected.

I hope this helps, it’s easier to explain with the screenshots!

I can hear the ad now, just prefix your tagline with
Bad Mental? Ouchies? Lights off? You need canal brand Pep Powder

Come on, Vlad... Hit us with your take!!!

 

[mchops]

Just leaving this here for molly , I'll admit I'm wrong if you show any tea

 

[Bellaboos]

A year?! It hasn't been anywhere near that long! About 6 months.

Anyway it's probably best to not start on who's been here longer. People had 4 and half years to register before it went invite only for a bit - years after it gained notoriety and was regularly mentioned in national media.

I just went to look because I remember asking about it - my question was on Jan 1st. thread 443

I love this and the logical progress of that kinda thing.

You say I’m not qualified to perform your neurosurgery? How dare you. I’ve handfed baby Yoda with my own pickle collection. I’ve hiked Mount Kilimanjaro with an eel in a backpack and crossed the burning star of Orion on a Segway, watching an ominous shadow fall upon Earth. I’ve trained doltish mice to mobilise against animal testing labs with tiny working Kalashnikovs, all of which which I made myself. I’ve marched triumphantly through Marble Arch with the thousands of people I saved from extinction, and hand-tweezed unwanted hairs from self-conscious monitor lizards. How could you exempt my lived experience and barricade me from doing further good?

For a second I thought you meant the cake One crept into my volunteer/workplace via a woman of the world, and everyone ended up as a Herman Servant, and was haunted by guilt at admitting to its demise. It smells awful and sort of insinuates itself into your routine and keeps on growing. It doesn’t even taste nice so you can’t even get proper revenge on it.

I'd vote for you as PM BTW. Or king/queen. That's the sort of prose that makes guest v uncomfortable, methinks. She could never. Actually, most of us couldn't. So, respect!

Not a new post but I enjoyed this reply to guest spouting bollocks. (She was complaining about Sainsburys donating 50p for every product sold from one of their ranges to charity, rather than making the product cheaper, if I remember rightly)

I'd love to have seen that deleted tweet from the smol one
