Jack Monroe #61 Complete, made up, fanciful nuclear-level bollocks

[Incywincy]

Also found this from 7 years ago. Not sure who the love interest was at the time but a Mrs J nonetheless.

25km isn't 25.5 miles lol, it's around 15.5 but saying that 25000 steps are a hell of a lot inside a property.

Is she running up and down her bungalow stairs?

My bad mistyped hahaha. Now 25.5mi inside the house would be really quite something.

Also, given that I'm currently reading about two cats she denied the existence of and several guinea pigs, thought this 5 current pets was interesting. Also the proposals. What does that even mean

Ah, yes : skiing, waterskiing and horseriding, those most working class of all pursuits.

Surprised the surgeries, near deaths and getting punched weren't x3

3 proposals though

Hola housefraus. Not been on these threads for a while as you all move too fast. However just had a scrawl through our Jack’s twitter. Can anyone enlighten me why she’s moving into an odd food porn stage? describing food like an M&S ad? I tried to find the end of the long string of thoughts about dipping radishes in butter and something about scotch eggs but it went on forever and I was worried about triggering my binge eating tendencies by delving any further.

Hmmm I’m doubtful that the photo was snapped before a night out. She’s dressed up for the shot which is very ammeter but probably taken with a half decent camera.

There has been at least one studio shot of her circulating twitter and appearing briefly on tattle, I’d put money on it being from the same shoot.

yeah I don’t think that shot shows her dressed up for work. It’s more of a portfolio shot. I suspect she was trying to become a model or actress at some point. All that wittering about her outfit for her job in the club is just story telling.

 

[AmTellinYa]

As I said, I didn't ever meet her. I wouldn't call the others my friends (not exactly), but they did have direct contact with her. She wasn't a major topic of conversation, but I did ask what she was like, because I was vaguely fascinated by her. (Even then, I had my own theories.) The gist is that she was/is a manipulative, entitled nutter. Unstable. Mad. Deeply unpleasant unless she wanted something. No one had a good word to say about her. In other words, precisely what we've all surmised for ourselves.

I also think there's another thing here. I can't substantiate this, but I think it may well be true. Someone on another thread asked what her partners found attractive about her. I think I can sum up the process. I've known people like this and I can suss them out pretty easily.

Initially very flirtatious, rapidly turning hotly (and adventurously) sexual. Love-bombing, which is hard to resist. 'Never felt like this before' etc. It's ALL about the Other Party. Life is bliss, for just long enough to have the Other Party fall in love, hard. Cohabitation happens far too quickly, followed by plans for 'Together Forever'. Then there's a slight vulnerability (probably one of her physical issues), making her a little unwell. The Other Party lavishes her with love and care. She bounces back. Then a small meltdown, probably about internet bullying ('It's not fair, you KNOW I only try to help people'). The Other Party leaps to her defence. This pattern continues, slowly at first, then the physical and mental meltdowns pile on thick and fast. The Other Party finds their friends unwilling to hang out with them as a couple and they start making excuses for her, eventually changing their lives to accommodate hers. In time they realise that she is an attention vortex and there is nothing whatsoever in it for them.

She's quite simply a vampire, draining the energy and life out of everyone she encounters. Even us.

I think this is spot on.

Jack for a long time has reminded me of a dementor from the Harry Potter books.

Literally sucks the life force out of everyone and everything around her.

looool agreed, it’s like one of those early 00s boudoir shots sold to women going through a rough break up, by sleazy men on stalls in shopping centres.

there’s probably a few awful corset shots with a feather boa too, some with a horrific over application of eye shadow, and some of her sat on a chair backwards like a member of westlife.

yes and what I don’t understand is the need to lie about it. Why not just say, this is from a glamour shoot I did when I was younger, bit cheesy but it was fun and I think I look pretty good? It would still be a thot shot, she’d still get the compliments she craves. But instead she has to make up a silly story about it being a candid shot of her ready to go to work. I don’t know about other fraus on this thread but when I’m ready to go to work I’m rushing out the door, I do not have time to take photos and I certainly am not going to bother with striking a sultry pose. She has to fib because she wants it to tie in with her working class rough diamond “origin story”, as opposed to the truth which is probably that she wanted to be a model or actress and was pulling together a portfolio. It’s such a silly and obvious fib, and she goes to such lengths to make it sound natural. It’s kinda sad really.

She wants to be a martyr ( martyrs get remembered). That's all she wants, for people to know her and remember with perhaps legend status.

Sorry, but I don't think she's there yet... Still waiting though!

do trolls really threaten to “boil people alive”? Sounds a bit Monty Python Holy Grail to me

, sorry but the thought of her on Strictly.

On a serious note she’d never cope with the withering put downs, Craig’s criticisms would crush her.

“Jack, I thought your coordination in that foxtrot was a bit off.”

“MY GRANDFATHER IS DEAD.”

She's gone medieval now, didn't king's and lords of yesteryear propose these sentences to the young traitors in their midsts.

If and I say IF people said these things to her they are in. Fact threatening her with serious harm, which is against the law.

Why doesn't she take these claims to the police, the police may not get much out of it but it will still be investigated as it's a serious threat.

Also where does the assholes. She's needs to find nicer places to hangout.

I think that might have been the policewoman.

Ha - agree with this. I'm the same age as her, and it was a massive craze when we were 18-19. Me and most of my friends did these 'photo shoots' and felt oh-so-glam!! (To my everlasting embarrassment, my parents still have one of mine on top of the fireplace at their house, much to Mr Cow's utter mirth and delight)

Choose strife (always.)

 

[Warrend]

The thought of Jacky on Strictly has made me chuckle. Imagine the response to Craig looking her up and down and quipping, "Jack darling, your cha cha cha was blah blah blah".

For those of you that have shown such kindness about my cancer/operation. I've just had a phone consultation (a week late, but they are under such pressure) and I don't have to have chemo this time. They will arrange for a further examination under anaesthetic in about 3 months.

Happy, happy, days. The consultant was so positive, I am just so relieved. The pain is subsiding from the Op as well.
Thanks again for all your kind wishes. Shielding these past months has been so difficult and your sympathetic words have helped.
Sorry for off topic, hope I'm allowed this one.
