The early 90s were when my Dad left my Mum and disappeared without so much as ever giving her a penny. You are correct @BeardyBap the 90s were awful for some people, but they were especially NOT awful to Jack, hence why I dislike her.This bed-warming chat reminds me... not to pull old fogey rank or anything, but in the early 90s we rented houses with no central heating, fireplaces in the bedrooms, electric heaters, electric blankets, round-pin electrical sockets still on the walls, single glazed sash windows... Did I mention this was the 90s?!? No rose-tinteds here, it was crap and we knew it was crap.
This wingnut turned off the heating in her 21st Century laminate floored halogen downlightered executive apartment and crying hypothermia came up with an entirely ineffective and ridiculous reinvention of the Victorian bed warming pan. Give me strength.
Sorry. As you were.

My friend's student house in Leeds was like this, and you had to bang on the top of the telly to get the picture back halfway through the Clothes Show. Of course if they'd had DKL back then, it would have been a merciful relief if it cut out during Jack's segments.This bed-warming chat reminds me... not to pull old fogey rank or anything, but in the early 90s we rented houses with no central heating, fireplaces in the bedrooms, electric heaters, electric blankets, round-pin electrical sockets still on the walls, single glazed sash windows...

At 20, I was living in a shared house of the 2up 2down Victorian terraced variety. No heating anywhere except a radiant gas fire in lounge- which was normal in the 1980s. The single glazed window in my room (front parlour) was cracked and we spent the -10C winter nights sleeping with several layers of clothing on, and my glass of water actually frozen by morning, as was the toilet and pipework from immersion heater.
If only we'd realised we could have just grifted £160k instead of doing coursework in the free warmth of the union cafe!

A Hag lizard in her J1g blizzard.Pretty sure she’s woken up to snow
Grunking so we might have had this but “Less famous than JJ Slater off MAFS” for thread title! #threadtitle
Foolish claw handed beggar woman and internet thief. This photoshoot sent her on the run. Although not enough to close down her years unfulfilled patreon, the grifty cow.Pretty sure she’s woken up to snow

I know it was mithered over at the time, but looking at this again I can’t believe how much this was in poor taste. What on EARTH was she thinking?!
The similarities to the classic beauty Natalie Portman are really uncanny here.
Such a massive dense tuppence that smaller ones start orbiting her.
And they kept all those TOTP with Jimmy Savile, and an elephant doing a rit on Blue Peter!
This has to be a thread title
Oh Lord it seems a long time since her bath of pennies she couldn’t not lie about, the claim to have found 14p up her front garden and the character assassination courtesy of Shattenstone. A year on and she’d be lucky to get a Photo Booth in a bus station to take her picture never mind a paid photoshoot.
On the plus side she can defrost those eels and green gunge for Christmas, though as she’s not using the boiler, she’d best get them under the solar lamps now as it might take a bit of time.

It looks like comments are turned off now.. I don’t remember there being a pile on at the time but there could well have been…
Yes! Or, as I did in the ‘80s, to the persistently dripping bathroom tap that each morning had frozen entirely and welded itself to the puddled* sink.You know that guest has never woken up in the morning to ice on the inside of the windows. #goodolddays
*Burberry scarf nowhere to be seen
no ouchy shoulder or walking stick required that day.
