After finally reaching the end of my tether with the unobtrusive griminess that you can close a cupboard door on (how do the drawers you keep your plates and nothing else in get crumbs in them? HOW?), I am currently giving my kitchen a 'deep clean' (no, I don't do it twice a day). Was j ust taking a breather and my eyes fell upon my spice rack. A little part of my brain piped up about alphabetising it, and then the more sensible part of my brain responded "no that's a waste of five minutes and brain energy that will immediately fall to pieces once you take something off, and how much brain energy does sweeping your eyes over the spice rack take when you're after the cumin" and I got on with cleaning the cupboard. So happy to report I'm not Jack.

I'd like to apologise to the canal for my immaturity, but seeing this post followed by the annus horribilis one made me snicker.

I dunno. It may provide some cover for certain individuals at A&E:
”So you say you were trying to open a tin of beans but you’re too poor to own a tin opener, so you used a tip from a well-known poverty campaigner and tried using the sharpest of your knives, all your courage and a mallet but you couldn't find a mallet so you searched around and found the little ‘un’s Action Man amongst the wrapping paper but the punctured can then sprayed some bean juice on the floor and you slipped, fell on the Action Man and, as it was early Xmas morning and you hadn’t yet got dressed, it entered you anally?”
"2012 is the year I refer to as my annus horribilis"

Never was a more perfect example of someone's hubris and egotism than this empty, bland, dull snap of the backs of some random people being entered into a photographic exhibition. If she was slop, she'd eat herself

ETA it wasn't in an exhibition just an exhibition in jack's head. But she put it on the internet for people to waste eye energy looking at.

Google, do they call coffee shops “coffee stores” in 🇺🇸?
Stand in line in a same old coffee shop.
Then home to cook some slop.
Will.

Where can I read the full poem? That extract is amazing. Waiting for her to mention the 'truck stops' that she visits after the 'coffee stores'.

Your point stands @Be our guest . She's a 21 yr old woman here, and within a relatively short time will be declaring that her photographs are flying off the walls of her local gallery space. I had a girlfriend that age who was a really talented photographer and worked hard at it, studying at night tech, our bathroom converted into a darkroom etc but she couldn't sell a thing at exhibition. This Londoner collection is a series of snaps; some of them remind me of when you would collect your photos from the chemist and there were two or three at the back you'd taken just to use the film up.
My girlfriend was making some money from boudoir shoots. Lingerie, soft-focus, a present for the fiancé. More tasteful than SB's dad's glamour work imo, but then that makes me think - did Jack only take up photography because it was his thing?
I absolutely believe she copied photography from him.

And here's another of the photos she was selling, of someone else's street art at a market - not even her own! I wonder what the artist had to say about that
I don’t think I’ve seen her old Flickr account before, which dates back to 2011.


It includes that photo of aunty Pat when she found that dead seagull on the beach in Clacton and tried to give it CPR.

Sadly, much like £5 book token Jack, it doesn’t live up to its early promise.

It does though have Firephone Jack mishandling batteries and suitcases and the first ever mention of Evita/allusion to another suitcase in another hall, so it’s not a total loss

I like that she dramatically throws the suitcases into the hall, but then neatly piles them up against the walls. (Especially as Elaine Paige is singing Andrew Lloyd Webber musical numbers in her head while she’s doing it)

June 2009. Just was well she had an abundance of poppy seeds at hand because I’m not sure anyone was going to be seduced by the poetry.

But store rhymes with bleep, but I can't think of anything that rhymes with shop. Can you kind cabal?

Evita wasn't on my bingo card, so that was a nice surprise. I wonder who the 'someone else' is that's singing in her head? Perhaps it was Borbora.

Jack does a lot of tearing and ripping doesn't she? Tearing batteries from her clocks. At least she's not clawing gas radiators from the wall, I suppose.

Store also rhymes with bore, and frankly that's the first word that comes to mind when I read Jack's poetry.

I have alphabetised our spice rack. Can confirm they mostly start with C.

It's giving 'edgy Btech photography coursework'. Who poses with a dead creature like this? Gotta look cute and mysterious while I use this deceased bird as a bleeping prop

I bet she writes poetry for her failed Tinder dates, the absolute weapon.

I definitely didn't also have another Single White Female friend who did this. I need to change my identity (and up my standards), some of the cretins I've taken pity on. Thank duck I've never been to Southend eh?

You know, I decided against posting a police photo of Ed Gein's house last time we were talking about her murder kitchen, but these shots of her trying to will life back into roadkill are right up there.
