What?
Has tha not etten t'cat yet? Nowt like a cat kebab when tha comes hyem from t'tripe mills, sweatin' collops and clemmed enough t' eat grandad's cap. (Would stop the auld bugger rollin' it all night when that's trying t' watch "Coronation Street")
(Aside: Do grandads still roll caps these days? Asking for someone stuck in the last century)
Edit for spelling.
The lol emoji is for the last line: edit for spelling. Fuxking on t'floor laughing heer.
I hadn't even seen the irony until you pointed it out!
(I wish I was that witty)
My daughter choked on one of the starch packing peanuts, it dissolved to a sort of thick claggy glue in her mouth and I had to get most of my hand in there to scoop it out. Was scary! She wasn't little either, maybe about 8? Thought it was funny to pretend they were wotsits.I ended up in hospital as a toddler as a result of eating an old-style polystyrene packing peanut
Bet it had more texture than any of Jack's slop, though...
Jack looks somewhat different here to the other pictures from 2013 I've seen...

@Valiofthedolls these pics were from the listing, though. That garden is looking decidedly overgrown and scruffy now. There's dog tit everywhere and a bunch of folding chairs that have blown all over the place. Plus dead tomato plants in the beds. The house looks like it needs a good power washing and a paint job too.
Is that a Pumble Swamp I see in front of the magnificent Fontaine de Slop?
I'm reading Darren McGarvey's The Social Distance Between Us, which posits that Britain's social problems and economic inequality are because the people who believe they can solve them are so far removed from the people actually experiencing the hardship, and because they have never really been poor or working class they are wholly unqualified to make a difference.
Really makes you think. Jack, like 90% of people in the public eye who believe themselves as working class, are measuring their social status against the upper class wealthy and influential people they wish to emulate.

I think this is it exactly. I recall as a teen a chunk of our food being gathered/scrumped (probs you’d now say wild food, foraged or whatever) because you literally needed to make up the larder as there was so little money available. When my dad was on strike we spent a whole summer hedgerowing and the October holidays nipping into field edges for “loose tatties”. Nothing went to waste either because it would have been unthinkable. My mum’s tattie scones though, magnificent. That’s proper cucina povera, food you need to and want to eat, not that white chocolate mushroom obscenity.
Well the top squig seems to know something we don'tDon’t you need to move house to get packing peanuts?
While I'm here: which one of you is the bottom squig here lol
No offence mices but this is triggering me.I don't even mind southerners making these jokes* - I'm proud of my clichéd northern heritage.
Sadly, t'gravy mines is all shut down now. All t'gravy is imported from China these days. Thank God t'Yorkshire puddin' factories and t'pease puddin' quarries are still up and runnin'.
*as long as it's in good faith - so watch thi'sen, any Southern Softies who fancy havin' a go.We'll set ferrets on ye.

tit!
I knew I'd forgotten something!
Jack once spent what felt like ages (probably 5 tweets) doing 4 Yorkshiremen comments (badly, of course)just doing loads of in’t and t’ all over her tweets and it was INSUFFERABLE
Google AI has gone rogue and pilfered one of Jack's recipes. Someone notify the authorities.
Saw this and….
