Jack Monroe #601 Replican't

she's from St Helens, i think.

Someone asked her a year ago when she cancelled and she responded to say she was still subscribing. Obviously she may have since cancelled.

There was someone on there a year ago - pink hair, she was quite a vocal critic of Jack on Twitter - i see she must have been looking at people's accounts to see if they were still subscribing, then asking them about it in the comments, much like she done with this one ^^^

there's another one where she asked them a year ago when they cancelled, and they responded to say:

How, exactly, do you "smash yellow sticker salad to smithereens"? It's generally wet and slimy, not suitable for "smashing".

Eating that "smashed" yellow sticker salad sandwich, after a morning in a hot classroom is surely going to be a cure for constipation.

I too was wondering what this literal food expert meant by the new and exciting flavour of jet hip.

There are a few possibilities. A rubbery exercise band.

A handy flask (a sort of bottle) with fossilised coal embellishments, primarily from Whitby, used for smuggling alcohol into venues.

A type of pocket seen on a particularly unattractive chino trouser.

No sign of an exotic ingredient to really lift the taste of a four day old, soggy, E. coli-infested sandwich. I tried.

 

[FrumpyCat]

No she makes those gross sandwiches from carrot and puts them in used brown paper bags for him to take. Obviously all his mates are super jealous and beg him to swop for their school lunches.

I find the quarterback stuff ridiculous and unhelpful. I consider myself a good home economist and try also to keep the food interesting and not repetitive. I use up stuff, make good use out of the freezer, add in yellow sticker things, turn small leftovers into bigger meals, batch cook. I try to buy everything we need in one big shop a week for around £70 and that’s all cleaning, a pet and a coeliac child. Pretending you can feed a family for £20 even as a top up shop is ridiculous.

It's ok, the sandwich thing only happened once, if at all.

Quarterback stuff is bizzare and pointless.. I am sure Jack has said her weird autistic lil brain means she can merely glance at a food cupboard and instantly come up with a meal plan, so why write everything down, and pretend she always does this?

I am a very unenthusiastic cook, left to my own devices I would live off the three C's (cheese, chocolate and crisps), but even I can look at a food cupboard and think, one can of beans left, should get some more .

But, but I thought there was a pineapple filled with tampons?! Is she rinsing them out and pegging them on the washing line before re-inserting them?! I'm not sure that's ideal.

Or popping them in the tumble drier to fluff them up.

If jet hip was ketchup I’d say guest has just invented prawn Marie Rose. Not. One. Original. Thought.

She’s back on the socks and Metros switched to a more sustainable product nowadays!

Phew, for a second there I thought she was lying. What a relief.

Wouldn't the best use of an ice bucket be, now bear with me, I know it might be radical, but could she use it for putting ice in?

Well there's nowt room in the freezer for ice

 

[griftalo]

I wonder if we're related.

I hate cooking. bleeping HATE it. And I hate thinking of stuff to cook even more than I hate cooking it. Your "three "C's" sounds an ideal diet to me - though I might occasionally have a hard boiled* egg just for the protein.

Like you - I can recognise if we are running out of something (or have already run out of it) and also if I have bought too much of something because it's on special offer and thus need to think of dishes which will use up 48 tins of chopped tomatoes. Fortunately everyone in the house hates cooking even more than I do, she when they get tomatoes every day for a fortnight, they just shut up and eat up, otherwise they are invited to cook for themselves. I'm not a bad cook. Almost everything I produce is tasty and nutritious - I just don't like doing it.

*You don't even have to time these feckers - just stick them in the pan and try not to let them boil dry.

Didn't the first "quarter hack" take her like 4 hours??

Oh no that was the first "meal planning" she did even though she's magical

 

[Lazarus]

When I mentioned Patreon earlier someone said it ought to be a police matter and the more I mither over it the more I find myself agreeing. She’s said that she doesn’t have access to it, isn’t taking money out of it and yet didn’t tell people to cancel whilst she can’t send out their rewards. Surely, surely it’s some kind of offence for her, or Patreon, to be allowing this to continue?

Imagine what that sandwich must have looked like come lunchtime after being rattled around in a paper bag? She just can't ever stop lying.

Why would you make it the day before
I make mine in the morning, put an ice pack in my cold bag, put sandwich on top, take to work and put in the fridge, the thought of a 12+ hours old sandwich rattling around in a pre used paper bag

 

[MavisBeacon]

Patreon don't give a tit. I complained to them and they basically said there was nothing they could do.

That's dependant on whether she's telling the truth...scap that, she's lying again.

Her subscribers can easily stop paying if they don't think the service is worth it, and it's pretty obvious (including from the "I'm sorry" post, which is now publicly viewable) that the rewards are merely a fantasy. So it'd be hard to prove that anyone who's still signed up at this late stage is being defrauded.

The worst you could say is that it's false advertising, or perhaps that she's not making it as easy to get refunds as it ought to be (though the pokemon squig who took her to the small claims court was being deliberately awkward, and might not have won if she'd contested it). Neither of those things are criminal, though.

Patreon should shut her down, because she's making them look bleeping awful. But that's their problem, not anything that the police would touch.

Years ago I heard of someone who would make their kids entire term's sandwiches in one go and freeze them. Then each day put a frozen sandwich in the lunchbox saying it would be defrosted by lunchtime.
She was so proud of her time-saving /organising hack.

 

[rage naan]

It's an interesting one because of her claims that she was HACKED and couldn't access money

because to me, those are implied accusations that Patreon and or PayPal have been complicit in fraud at worst or utterly incompetent at best. She wouldn't have felt safe making these accusations if she also had cases/ investigations open with the police/Patreon/PayPal, would she? Or at any rate she had reason to believe she wasn't putting herself at risk by saying this stuff.

this has been one of the most frustrating things because it just hasn't gained any traction. A claim that people are paying money every month to a hacker and no evidence of her doing anything to warn them? Even though we know she can still access their details

And no one gives a tit.

I can totally see why she did this lie. It makes her look like a victim of online harassment and also of theft and must mean she's poorer than ever. But it's also extra stupid because fraud like she's describing gets investigated if you report it! Going oh he changed my password, there's nothing else I can do, is patently idiotic. Saying that people may well have spent hundreds cos you did nothing to warn them is utterly unacceptable. And no one cared! Except a few ninnies.

 

[MavisBeacon]

Also she had done duck all to fulfil her Patreon for at least a year before the "hack", so what was her excuse then????
Lying thief.
