The perky blinder comment makes me quite shocked she found it funny, someone has just sexually commented on her body and as a person who supposedly hated her bits so much she was binding them considering having them removed, it seems really off. She claims to be for womans rights yet some tosser gives her a vulgar compliment she is a giggling simpering mess. So much for standing against people thinking that the womans body is theres to comment on. She is no more a feminist than boris johnston.

Even this giant rat stew looks more appetising than the wasp casserole.
Hey! :mad:

Nowt wrong with rat stew. They're nutritious. Healthy. They're good for you, rats is - there's not many free range livestock foodstuffs available nowadays, and rats is one of 'em.

You can make mittens out of their little fur coats, an' all, AND their skulls look very decorative with a tea light in 'em.

Nowt wrong with rats.

Nobody really said it - "consensually" or otherwise. She made it up because she thinks she looks sexy and people should be noticing and commenting on her all of the time. She also thinks that this is the sort of thing that friends say to friends, this proving conclusively that she doesn't have, and never has had, any friends.

Also, she's filtered and photoshopped to duck in every picture like that. God alone knows what she really looks like.

How lucky was Jack that someone was tragic enough to buy the entire crappy outfit from the catalogue in her exact size, only to selflessly donate it to a magic puddle?!

i thought the hat she was wearing here was the small Stetson which she sacrificed decent meals for?

Whenever she mentions her group of close knit nicknaming loyal sober pick-her-off-the-ground-and-fold-gently-in-a-blanket friends

Yep. It's clearly just her thinking of her two favourite "facts" - that she has remarkable bits and that she somehow looks like Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby - and seeing an opportunity in her outfit to remind everyone of both of these again whilst also fishing for compliments. It's really tragic, but she probably did get a fleeting bit of attention from it, so, as she's fond of saying, that'll do.

I've started watching a food YouTuber called the budget foodie. Recommended to me by not one but 2 separate friends. Makes lots of things from not very much. Does a lidl shop then shows you what she's making from it and how, then shows you what it looks like on a plate. Not seen one thing where I wouldn't feel it was safe to eat so far. Probably a few things with ingredients and flavours I don't enjoy but I get that everywhere. Very friendly and relatable, a bit awkward in front of the camera in a lovely way. I hope she does really well because I'm really enjoying watching her. Doesn't ask for cashos from viewers either. Has her own business and tells you about it as she cooks. Has a good condition cat for anyone who only wants to watch things with pets in. Good sense of style and a fab short haircut. What's not to like.

The anti guest.
I've just had a look, she's great. Really easy to follow, seems like she knows what she's talking about, and she has a nice, clean kitchen and a well cared for (and adorable!) cat.

Twirly for thread title nom?
---

How long ago was The Pov? If you qualified for FSM at any point in the last 6 years, that entitlement goes on, even if your circumstances change. So, yes I'd say he does.
It was more than 10 years ago and her son wasn’t at school yet. Plus it seems the dad is the resident parent. You actually need to be pretty skint to get FSM. I didn’t qualify as a single parent earning £23k

It's a little more complicated. He may have been eligible in primary if his father was earning an extremely low income when he started school and the family were in receipt of Tax Credits. This entitlement would be carried by him until phase change (ie, end of Primary) - but the earnings limit was very low, the sort of thing that would be earned from working part-time on NMW and caring for a disabled child.

As part of the Universal Credit rollout, transitional protection was introduced, where any child in receipt of FSM in 2018 would then carry that entitlement forward even with a phase change. But if she were to be the resident parent, her income (undeclared because she had failed to file accounts) and that of the extremely wealthy partner would have exceeded that amount/assumed to exceed as it hadn't been evidenced and he would therefore not have been eligible for that transitional protection. She has never qualified for UC and the father was definitely the resident parent at the time of transition to secondary.

Moreover, the earnings limit was slashed to duck all last year but we heard exactly nothing about it. Which suggests again that she has absolutely no experience of it. There was also precisely sod all about personal experience of the FSM parcels or vouchers over Covid, other than glomming onto Roadside Mum's viral tweets and trying to grab the interviews where (although RSM turned out to be another appalling individual) it was actually RSM's story, claiming that she was the expert and was therefore entitled to receive income that was by all measures RSM's.


Tl;dr he may well be eligible for FSM. However, it would be likely that this is purely due to the kid living with his father and possibly as a direct result of him officially becoming a single parent at the point of secondary transition (she was in residential rehab, don't forget) after 2018, nothing to do with her.

I have. (Or maybe the tin was broken - either way it just turned sneeringly without cutting the top off.

We just ate something else. Or possibly had the toast sans* the beans** . I forget the riveting details of that traumatic time. Whatever happened we neither died of starvation nor ended up in A&E pouring our life's blood onto the tiles

*Yer actual Fronche

**or should that be φασόλια***(fasólia - pronounced "mither")

***Yer actual Greek
I have actually stabbed tins open before I would never recommend it. Not only is it a dangerous way to do it but you end up with a half open tin you could decapitate your hand with. Also, there is no need for a mallet.

I can't get past the animal neglect and abuse.

The ancient and hugely adored cat had her last trip to the vet yesterday, as she'd become agitated even with painkillers and was alternating between clambering onto me and hunching up on the armchair with the heated pad. It hurt so much to say it, it hurt even more to do it, but the feeling of her relaxing in my arms made it clear we did the right thing. That cat was in my life for longer than anything else has ever been and Mr D got to see the tough as old boots, functioning through everything life can throw and has thrown at us, me go to absolute pieces.


Her current cat looks worse than mine did a year ago, even six months ago but is so young.

To think that not just one animal, but multiple ones, have been neglected, given subpar living conditions and denied a gentle, controlled end out of what? Stupidity? Magical thinking? Sheer arrogance? To try and spark off a massive funding stream for an inbred creature? It's not just contempt, it's not just 'you bloody coward', it's just so beyond me, I just can't put into words what I feel about it right now.

I'm not having the best of days.
I am so sorry, Dragon. The pain is so awful.

I posted something similar here when we had our beautiful boxer girl put to sleep at the far-too-early age of 7, and my rage at Jack was much as yours.

I still remember some of the kind words offered here, including ones from @TurnedUpInTipp that roll around my head more regularly than I’d care to admit - the last thing you did for them was an act of kindness.

All my love ❤
