Oh dear, I can't bring myself to listen to those episodes. But so I'm clear, has someone actually made some kind of radio drama about JM's life? Featuring June Whitfield?! Am I living in the Upside Down?
I was thinking the same! It’s all too surreal. I honestly thought that the references to a radio play made about her life was like a running joke among the fraus, I had no idea it was a REAL THING.

I am Grunka'ing because I have been BUSY.

I would like to say 3 things:

Jack is an insufferable arse.

You Fraus can tattle.

Now fuck off.

Happy to help Jack:

1. Rinse them (the most important step)
2. Rinse them again
3. Boil to death
4. Add Marmite/Biscoff spread/polenta/custard creams/cheap, wet ham/lemon curd (any combination of the above will work, just use your maverick instincts!)
5. Season with plenty of (bottled) lemon and pepper
6. Pulverise them in your high-end blender of choice until the finished result looks like it's already been digested at least twice
7. Take photo while cradling bowl lovingly (using tongue, obvs)
8. Sell said photo for £14.99 to mugs with more money than sense

I wish I'd kept the business card from a RNR captain I once knew. It listed things like crocodile wrestler, lover, smooth talker, etc.

Babe, same.

Come, come - it was you who teed off the day (night?) with that post-apocalyptic zinger. Absolute masterpiece, I’ve read it about, I’m going to say three, times. Like The Road crossed with It’s A Wonderful Life

What's she on about "cooking again is a good sign'. Of what? Cooking in Edinburgh, cooking at home (polenta, the mess tin cake), she's always going on about cooking for the boy, she had a soup reducing on the hob for herself last week. So now we're simultaneously cooking and not cooking, as well as working and sleeping 22 hours a day, and not forgetting being a best selling successful author but also a poor, struggling freelancer. Got it.

When will she learn that spamming instagram effs up her engagement? Her 2 most recent pics haven’t even got 500 likes.
