Absolutely correct. When you are malnourished your body simply stops making eggs, because it knows your body wouldn’t have the physical capacity to keep a baby alive and yourself. Lies upon lies.

It also would've been a high risk pregnancy that would've needed close supervision and you can bet she'd have written all about that 156 times. Her munchie ways would never keep medical issues private. She showed twitter exactly what meds she's on and where she gets them, if she had a tough pregnancy it'd be the preamble to many a tin rattle.

No way yet again I would like it on record that if I'm ever murdered I want the canal on the case, not the bizzies.

I don't think we ever triangulated the poor sod beyond someone she was pretending was acting in some sort of security capacity for her to encourage the rage nans to dig deep.

Ahhhh, thanks, that makes sense. I mean, it makes no sense at all, but in the Monroeverse, it's clear now.

Naughty outing though. Oops. He’s easy to find on Insta. Surname (almost) rhymes with “cringe”.

Ray Davies () wrote this in 1968. I wonder what he thinks of the world today:

People take pictures of the Summer,
Just in case someone thought they had missed it,
And to proved that it really existed.
Fathers take pictures of the mothers,
And the sisters take pictures of brothers,
Just to show that they love one another.
You can't picture love that you took from me,
When we were young and the world was free.
Pictures of things as they used to be,
Don't show me no more, please.
People take pictures of each other,
Just to prove that they really existed,
Just to prove that they really existed.
People take pictures of each other,
And the moment to last them for ever,
Of the time when they mattered to someone.

And the moment to last them for ever,
Of the time when they mattered to someone.
Picture of me when I was just three,
Sucking my thumb by the old oak tree.
Oh how I love things as they used to be,
Don't show me no more, please.

I love The Kinks.

Some years ago I lived in a very short street in a posh neighbourhood of north London . All the homeowners of the large Victorian terraces had known each other for years and it was a friendly street, even for a lodger like me with no claims to property.

Anyway, one of the neighbours was a journalist-cum-mental-health-campaigner who'd famously been married to a European count who had, I think, treated her very badly. One Christmas, there was a little informal party for the neighbours and this countess brought Ray Davies along -- he was going through one of his spells of poor mental health and was staying with her. I thought him incredibly sweet and diffident (in the authentic, not Jack, way) and I was very starstruck, even though he was rather shabby and had no rock star trappings on show.

For a small street, it had a high proportion of well-known residents. But I'll have to keep the tea to myself for now.

Oh Dear. If you search for a “Jack” thread from 1-104, you get Jack Grealish before Jack Monroe.
Poor old guest. Not even Tattle’s most important Jack.

Safe to say with 541 threads to his 104 I’m pretty confident in stating that that Our Jack’s the bigger cunt though.

Wow, thanks for sharing.

he seems a very deep, and sometimes cantankerous man. I’ve met him once and was truly starstruck. I love the kinks.

Still thinking about supermarket prices if there is a diagnosed gifted Frau who knows about this I’d love to know more. Is it inevitable that price increases will affect those on lowest incomes the most? Because anyone who is currently making more expensive retail choices has the option to trade down to basics and cut things out, but those who have already done that have no choice left but to bear price increases. If that’s the case what is the VBI meant to do? What policy could change that situation?

Google Summit/Boulevard/That's Not My Fanny anniversary will soon be upon us. We should prepare a list of all the millionaires she persuaded to give their money to the poors.

As the canal so often asks itself, who fucking knows?

I wonder if guest is a cheese smuggler.

The VBI is meant to engage the neckbeards because nerds love Discworld, and thereby perpetuate the grift. I don't think she thought any further than that?

Basically yes, the lowest income people will always be disproportionately affected but I think the VBI is built on the idea that if you take an item eg pasta, Jack claims the essential range has risen by whatever but there's not been the same price increase on Barilla thus the poor are being targeted/double disadvantaged.

And that's the bit that fundamentally isn't true in many cases. All the ranges are rising and across ranges and supermarkets the rises seem broadly equal for similar products. There may be one or two outlier products that it's true for, but basically the headline really is "Everything is going up".

You've got it. The lack of ability to substitute appears to be the cause of people who buy the cheapest goods suffering the most as prices rise for everyone.

The VBI was supposed to show that the things poor people buy were going up faster than the published inflation rate. We all experience a personal inflation rate that is different to the published rate, so that's nothing new. The ONS, with all their resources, repeatedly showed there was no evidence for what she said the VBI would show.
