I'm literally amazed every time I see it. When did she acquire all that expensive frozen fish in her £20 shops. Did she once spend a quarter of it on mussels or snapper etc and then just freeze them? Several dozen times? What did they eat those weeks? What went into the 420 generous meals and snacks those weeks???? I don't understaaaaaaand
a quick look online tells me that a can opener at asda is 0.65p.
as a genuine working class frau, i am certain that the vast majority of people can afford that. Or they can get one from a charity shop. Or they can borrow one. OR, they could eat something that doesn't come out of a can until they can afford to buy a new one for the huge sum of 0.65p.
The problem is the no fault evictions, the deposit to rent, the car failing its MOT and your kids school photographs all occurring in the same month. So you borrow what you don't have and have no real plan of how to pay it back. Rinse and repeat. in debt, CCJ's, struggling to know what to do next. The idea that someone cant afford 0.65p is laughable and is entirely missing the point.

It’s also the assumption that The Poors have always been and will always be poor. Many of us will know the times we were comfortably off/had a steady income, interspersed with lean times and belt-tightening.
She makes out like The Poors are scrabbling round for a shiny penny to secure their evening at the doss house, leaning on a rope to sleep.
Is guest trying to get a film critiquing gig or is just underemployed to the point where all she does is watch any old rit that's on, then upload her resulting brain farts on the film to social media?
I don't think she watches any of it, she's far too lazy for that. She'll read other people's reviews and rehash them. That is much more in keeping with her style. Never a new idea, never a novel thought, never an ounce of originality
Saw a Tiktok video yesterday where a family had a little Christmas tradition of listing how many of each kind where in their tin of Quality Street and the weight/price of the tin. They'd been doing it since the early 00's. I thought when Monroe sees this -and she will since she's chronically online despite pretending not to be - she is absolutely going to steal it as her own just the way she did with the collecting dropped shopping lists thing
It wouldn't be very ADHD of her to be able to sit and watch hours and hours of uninterrupted telly, would it.
It would, however, be very friendless twit of her.
I would die happy if Ben Whishaw casually called me "darling" the way he does everyone in Black Doves. With little hearts in my eyes. Swoon.
I enjoyed the series overall. But what do I know--I saw the (admittedly incredibly flawed and occasionally unintentionally hilarious) Megalopolis and had to admire its sheer batshit chutzpah.
I don't care whether Jack likes or doesn't like a show. People have different reactions (and thank goodness for that). What I hate is the way she pretends to know more than she does and the unearned authority with which she makes her pronouncements. She is the MOST basic of witches and puts on the airs of a respected critic whose opinion is above question. Her "discoveries" make me guffaw. Wannnnnkerrrrrr.
It's a simple one, came here after reading something about the Katie Price thread (probably on Mumsnet), found the Jack threads (and maybe a few others in a similar vein) and the rest is history!
She's an utter cleft, I don't know how anyone still has time for her.
I wish we could change usernames
I believe several rogue states are now looking into using Jack's hack of storing old oil from tinned fish as a new kind of Bioweapon. Ingested or inhaler it's absolutely lethal to all who encounter it. Cheers Jack from North Korea and Russia
I'm forever gutted mine isn't Bitty Shungalow.
My uncle loved to hand out P38 can openers. Cost only 49 cents retail. A handy backup.
Ah yes, the "simple system" so succinctly explained by two pages of dense text. FFS... Write a meal plan, look in the cupboards to see what ingredients you have/need, write a shopping list. Done. Where's my sideboard?
legit, even a life on benefits ebbs and flows, as does a life with illness etc - we all find what works for us and sometimes it’s a lot harder to make that work than others. It’s not all miserable, it’s not all raucous laughter in paddling pools, a lot of it is very mundane and not worth commenting on tbh because it’s just life.
I’ve got one of those! If kept in a pocket the hinged blade is prone to embed in one’s thigh and wake the entire camp
Between this & the Swiss Army STYLE knives & multitools etc I must have nearly as many openers as guest. Come to think of it that’s probably why I don’t remember any busted tin openers - there’s always been a backup handy. OMG she’s right! Normal people must really need to resort to knives and mallets!!! I take it all back!
<nips to kitchen to check if milk & flour lasagne will really thicken up in the oven>
Nah she’s still full of tit.
I just hope she's watching Poor Things after SB has gone to bed... I can't exactly imagine a young teen boy cosying up to his mamapapa to watch all those bouts of Furious Jumping 
Personally when I was a teen I cringed when people even snogged when I was watching TV with my parents
