Jack Monroe #64 One hand refreshing Twitter, and the other one playing the piano

[Veronicaaa]

The photo with the magnifying glass is really fucking weird.

What is this we have here? Something possibly edible? Well, we'll see about that!

Kitsch library lounge and scandi hotel style bedroom. Altogether now Fancy!

Where is the eyeroll emoji when you need it

I see SB has now moved to the next cliche cosplay phase of having a ‘gruesome’ bedroom. He’s 10, it’s not all up to him to keep it show home perfect like the rest of the house. What happened to his ‘chores’, another americanism for her, there.

Well, she’s put in a beg for Lego’s.

Half of this post is blurred out for me, what's that all about?

Tap the blurred bit it comes up.

I think that's because she's looking around with that ridiculously forced smile going "Yes, that's right, it's ME, JACK MONROE, I'M HERE!!!"

Perhaps she was expecting pap shots. I honestly have never seen her in the papers other than the inane stuff she writes on there herself. I have never seen her papped so to speak. Should I have??

 

[Veronicaaa]

Surely if there was a ruck on the train she'd have gone all ninja on them and sorted the incident in no time.

Using some of her her dance-karate moves!

Either that or she's watching The Wire. I turned into a Baltimore resident for the duration of my marathoning of all 5 seasons, thrice over.

This made me laugh When we were binging The Wire, there was “an incident” down our street, so forensics were in attendance, police cordon etc. I just walked past like Didn’t bat an eyelid

 

[Pocahontas]

Non-chef’s kiss @JoyceDivision !

 

[Begborrowsteal]

If she can eat that in a single sitting she is a greedy goblin. I don't tend to comment on portion sizes as it's none of my bloody business, but that's just crazy. There's more than a coffee cup of rice there, morelike a mugs worth

greedy goblin. I love rice and definitely eat too much of it

Pretty sick of looking at this pic already. They look like nik naks.

As they've been left too long on the plant and dried, you take the beans out, put them in a brown paper bag and replant them next year, as there's not enough to make a meal from there.

Bloody waste. If they'd have been picked regularly, there would be tons of the things.

 

[Pocahontas]

Babe, same.

I've been FIZZING reading the past few pages and have laughed up not only a lung, but assorted other organs too. You fraus and herren are all comic geniuses!

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

Jack went to the press screening... more strangers and more floral Jack writing.
"The woman beside me, a stranger, squeezed my forearm as I choked on guttural, involuntary sobs. I’m sorry, I whispered, sloping out to punch a wall in the corridor and cry into the blinding, unaware streets of west London. I looked mad. I am mad. " Ugh

" I, Daniel Blake is not quite my life story. But yet, it is. I turned down the movie rights for my rags-to-book deal story in 2014, because I’m the lucky one. I felt the Hollywood treatment for “poor girl has hard time then it all gets better” would be an insult to the millions who don’t get to write about it in the Guardian afterwards. Don’t tell me to check my privilege, I know it. I found a job as a local journalist through sitting at council meetings and waiting for a vacancy to come up, after applying for hundreds of others. The rest is history – and 90-hour working weeks to stay afloat. I am currently writing this at 4am, having started work at 7. Five years after falling down the benefits rabbit hole, I’ve almost repaid the bank charges and court orders from that energy bill and others besides. "

I honestly thought this was your satire of what she might write! This is terrible.

The funniest bits to me were her complaints about a twitter user saying Jack makes it all about herself, and the polician who said her retelling of her story was “boring”.

Of course, Jack ascribes this to society wanting to stamp out the working class, such as herself, and not allow them to tell their stories.

Rather than the fact that she does make it all about herself, and her repetitively going on and on about briefly dipping her toes into poverty is fucking tedious.

Should've gone to specsavers?

 

[IndigoStar]

Crikey, the last thing we need is any magnified shots of the nails

 

[Captainmouse]

Sadfrau The Hellman’s BLM thread is chaos! And I don’t like it.

 

[Veronicaaa]

She's posted eight insta pics today of these friggin beans in various poses

3 separate photos of greengages now, too.

 

[Marmalade Atkins]

She's put them all on Twitter now. How can she even be bothered to cross post everything?

 

[Pocahontas]

I can't pick a fav. They are all so good and there's bits in each one that get to me more and more each time I watch it.
That being said, S4, when Stringer meets his maker... ooooft.

Just thinking, is there a specific thread for The Wire? lol

Don’t want to be a know-it-all but

Spoiler: Wire stuff

That was at the end of series 3. I loved Stringer (and Omar) so that was a big moment for me

Oh I dunno, I can think of better things to get in the post!

'Betterer'. Like a 5 year old. I don't want to get into the territory of mocking her followers because they're victims of her scamming and lies and it doesn't seem fair, but come onnnn. Perhaps the way she writes, particularly in how she Capitalises Everything, presumably to, mummy blogging style, Importantantly Emphasise The Thing, rubs off on those who worship her?

The "collection" sounds a bit ominous.

 

[Fiddledeedee]

I thought tea was her go to replacement for wine (cos of the tannin apparently) instead of a fancy reduction.

I tried it once, didn’t work, added nothing to the dish ... shocker, right?

 

[help i need some help!]

And the using any rice thing - god she is such a fucking bore. Risotto rice is hardly much more expensive. Would you serve curry with risotto rice jack? Actually don’t answer that, she probably would.

If you did feel the need to substitute the rice, surely pudding rice would be a closer match.
