Naboo The Enigma

When I was pushing out my first baby, my then husband was down at the business end, absolutely enthralled and giving me a running commentary. The midwife gave him a mirror to show me what was going on but I took one look and noped out. Couldn't even look at the placenta either, let alone keep it for prosperity.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Jack counted her "30 hour labour" from the minute her first twinges started. Both of my labours were slow to get going with days of on and off contractions, and paracetamol is pretty much the only safe pain relief that you can take at that point.

We all know Jack was insufferable, she probably developed nausea and sore tits the day after the shag, and started stockpiling clearviews.

I’m such a nob. I didn’t realise until reading other comments that she meant the SURGICAL screen they have up so you can’t see your own entrails. I thought it was a TV screen of some sort #notamother

Ohhh, I was about to comment to say surely the whole point of a TV screen being there was so the surgeons could see what they were doing so why on earth would they move it. I thought the comment about the mirror was saying they would reflect the TV down to her

I've also just realised I've heard about the screen thing before but always thought the mother could see and it was placed so the other parent wouldn't freak out

#alsonotamother reproduction sounds horrific I don't understand how you all do it

Do you know what would improve that godawful kumquat hairstyle?(said no one, ever).
A badly drawn, hose-stealing fox (with no hose), inspired by the @DinosaurSenior capybara masterpiece.

Definitely. She coined it in with Sue Lee and no one will convince me otherwise.

I’ve been following the canal / Jack monroe threads since about June 2022, member since November 2019, please someone have mercy on a smol helpless pixie and explain elevenerife??
Is it the same as black catting someone? (I’ve realised I got this from my husband who is ex Royal Marine so I’ve put an explanation link below)
I’ve checked the wiki and I’m none the wiser…

ETA: The link is odd but it means like one up man ship

i had both of my children with absolutely nothing because they were literally on their way out as the nurse examined me. I got crappy paracetamol afterwards. I jokingly got told, if i were to have anymore. I would need to camp at the hospital. My labours got from nothing to baby in no time at all. I loveca birth story and no one should be made to feel bad, for how their babies come into the world.

Elevenerife always reminds me of the film Shirley Valentine. Here's a quote that sums it up: "I'm not sayin' she's a bragger, but if you've been to Paradise, she's got a season ticket. She's that type, Gillian, you know. If you've got a headache, she's got a brain tumor."

If someone said they'd been to Tenerife on holiday, someone like guest would say they'd been to Elevenerife

It's really basic and youll kick yourself x If you said you'd been to Tenerife, someone boastful will say they went one better - to Elevenerife.

I was also wondering this for ages. So funny! I thought it was something to do with Spinal Tap and the volume joke in that. I knew it meant wildly exaggerate.

I almost drowned having daughter (water birth) Two puffs of gas and air and I was absolutely away with the fairies, and had no bloody clue I was going under. Husband had to keep hoiking me up by my ponytail He was also meant to be wearing eye patches, due to a welding incident, so he could barely see. Utterly ridiculous story for sure, but still not as ridiculous as Jack's!

Anyway, I wonder when she'll attempt another pop up? It's not going well anywhere, and the constant tweet/delete thing is a bit of a weird one.

I'm not actually here

Do we think she is softly, gently, painstakingly creating another social media account somewhat beyond Twix? Like, some really obscure network where nobody has heard of her?!!!

I could well see her trying it. There's a lot out there now, especially since Twitter/X is dying a death. Don't think they'll ever have the reach Twitter had though, but she might still be able to con a few quid here and there.
