I wonder if its just lip service, Maybe she saw what happened with JO and wants to avoid the same. She's already stuck in J's web though,
Couldn’t agree more. ‘Keep your friends close and enemies closer‘, and all that. Anyway, they’re surely pity-tweets at this point.

I presumed they were oysters in her pocket. We currently have a big problem with groups harvesting huge amounts along Southend seafront.
That'll be interesting - she's severely allergic to Oysters.


Maybe it's fungi?

I've been up, out, vampired by another nice nurse and am now knocking back the coffee, as 12 hours without even a cuppa is cruel and unusual punishment in my world.

At this point, I'm now waiting on results to establish whether I have

Diabetes
Osteoporosis
Osteopenia
Spinal fractures
Hip fracture
HPV infection
Cervical Cancer
Lung Fibrosis
Heart failure
Covid-related lung damage
Tuberculosis reactivation
Sarcoidosis
Lung Cancer
Antibodies to Anti-Tumour Necrosis Factor
High Cholesterol
Liver Disease
Kidney Failure
Anaemia
Anklyosing Spondilitis

and about a zillion other things to add to the list. In other words, I've had two blood tests (easily an armful in phials, there!), a chest x-ray, a bone density scan and a smear test. Sounds so much scarier when you list the differential diagnoses, rather than the reality, doesn't it?


'Chemical Rollercoaster', to me, means she's been told to come off the amphetamines because she's bouncing off the walls and looks like wotsherface in Les Mis/the doctor has noticed her Twitter feed and, even if they are the private medicine variety, still have to maintain professional standards realises now that the tales spun to obtain the medication were less than accurate.

I wonder just how many Twitter accounts she has :unsure:
tit, just imagine if this was actually the case! Almost hoping for her sake that it is just a few mad followers prone to a bit of hyperbole.

If she has no friends, she could just be real and say that. Many, many people are in the same boat and would be so supportive. But then she wouldn't be able to tell boasting analogies and brag about how many excellent and generous friends she has, or play the victim when they aren't all blowing her phone up in times of trouble..
Probably her circle of friends are all through Louisa and are now inevitably 'absent'
My brother's ex-wife is like this. She didn't have any friends of her own. I first noticed it at her hen night. The table was half female relatives of my brother (me, 2 sisters in law and a cousin) the other 50% were the female partners of my brother's friends. No work mates, university mates or school friends.
When they divorced she kept whinging on FB about not having friends because all of my brother's friends and family dropped her like a stone (she cheated on him so there was little sympathy from anyone)
If Louisa LEFT because of Jack being unbearable I can't imagine many in her circle sticking by Jack. Not necessarily being unkind to her, but there won't be any invites to dinner etc

She's no Orwell. I'll pop along and check if he's spinning in his grave (triangulation!!) at being compared to someone who can't even use a paragraph.

The Road to Southend Pier is coming isn't it?

Based on her exploits on social media, it's clear that she doesn't have any friends - and why that is the case. She never posts anything at all about her doing stuff with friends, or ever talks about friends. It's all about the blue tick. She's the actual definition of a social media addict.

Has she done the accompanying video yet? Orwell missed a trick by not exploiting technology, but all of her modern-day poetry peers are nailing it.


Crisps for dinner and a pint of best,
Our soccer club’s better than the rest.
City, United, Albion, Rovers,
Cobbled streets that advertise Hovis.
Knuckle-busters, ASBOs, car-park fights,
Poundland, Asda, bingo nights.
Matchstalk men, matchstalk cats,
Matchstick dogs, and council flats.
Community centres and spray painted swearing,
Harassed policemen and teachers past caring.
Unions, strikes, “Everybody Out!”
I don’t want to.
You’ve got to.
We won’t earn nowt.
Cotton mills and cooling towers,
Old tin baths, no power showers.
A certain pride, a certain swagger,
A fist, a stick, a gun, a dagger.
Giros, glue-sniffing, dogs on ropes,
But I see people, with dreams, with hopes.

I'm grunkaring but just a couple of thoughts.

Jack, the Vogans called, they want their poetry back

If you are up and on the beach at 5am,then you are up, do not go back to bed when you get in as you won't sleep properly tonight and you need to establish a good sleep pattern

You can't get medication like that from your GP, you would get referred and even then you won't just be given them and told to go away, you also can't just stop your antidepressants as that would make you very ill.

There may be more as I work my way through

They are exactly that. They're all over the place down at Thorpe Bay Shoebury Common Beach.
But.. But.. But... .our dear heart Jackie is SEVERELY ALLERGIC to oysters. Last time one was unfortunate enough to pass her ouchy lips she ended up in hospital.

I sense an impending chaos. Or bullshit. Or a bullshit chaos.

ETA Just had a thought... Oysters that look like female genitalia. ALLEGRA RUN!!!

The thing is she's she supposed to be having a break from work and her assistant is she still not furloughed?
If so how can she do her patron stuff. She supposed to be off work that means you don't even lift as much as a pen to write a recipie. Doesn't it?
So how can she ask people to subscribe to a service that shouldn't currently be in use due to her having no one to send out the stuff, make the content?

I don't know how it will work?? Sign up to my Patron for stuff, I'm off work at the minute but I will get back to you? Is that what she means?

Oh god, to be fair this sounds like me. I have friends, but I'm really pretty much a loner (YES JACK A LONER CABAL) and my best friend legitimately is my husband, my mum and my brother. I'm friends with my husband's friends and their wives but really, I don't have anyone I'm super close that is independent of either family or my husband.

I've always been like it, even at school I preferred my brother's company (not in a weird way) and being within my family. My other friend who I guess I'd term as 'best' is my ex, as he's super cool (we were just like brother and sister in the end though). I'm not a really good socialiser and tbh, kinda hate it.

That said, if me and my husband broke up, his friends would still look out for me, unless I did something unbearably cunty (unlikely)
