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

[MooBelle]

How very dare you, she works 20 hour days.

yup. Then she sleeps for the other 22 hours of the day....

You’re right - many good bloggers take pictures of restaurant meals or meals they’ve had at someone’s house or even takeaways. I think Jack doesn’t do this because (1) she’s not actually interested in food, and (2) she hates to give credit to anyone else - she pretty much never does it.

Their food probably looks edible.

If it ain't sloppy she aint happy.

I swear if you have a university log in you can access old bbc archives dating back a few decades through a website?! Can any of our learned fraus do it?!

OOOHHH!!!!! I still have one. Triangulate that!!! Will have a little rummage.

Why’s she saying this like she doesn’t know? She said weeks ago this was the exact reason.

If you click on the blurry bit you can read it.

Ooooh thank you

What. The fuck.

 

[Begborrowsteal]

She tweeted last night that she witnessed a minor getting beaten up on the train home - it’s in the last couple of pages of last thread. I think she’s deleted the tweets.

Thank you! X

Ooh gosh I feel bad for that! I’m sure SB has a very hardy constitution.

 

[Oofadoofa]

How long has it been since she has actually worked? (Using that term in a very loose sense..) how long ago was Edinburgh?

 

[NP]

I’m beginning to think Jack watches Kay’s Cooking for inspiration.

 

[Lanie]

Don't forget when she got trapped in a train with the lights turned out and had to rage tweet an innocent employee.

I also think she be better getting the bus. Her route seems like a dodgy one. I have gotten the late train a few times and I only ever witness people getting a bit too amorous whilst a little bit tipsy or drunk people talking absolute shite.

I am normally coming back from traveling I don't tend to use the train for nights out.

 

[Captainmouse]

Oh yes I'm actually glad she hasn't said anything because my rage levels can't handle it. Probably will include a reference to 'more bread and jam please mummy'

I just googled Jack Monroe Daniel Blake and found this...HOW long has she been writing this poverty book?! So people will have taken the time to share their painful testimonies and she never even bothered finishing it.

It’s on her list! After the piss and the sandwich etc etc

 

[Marmalade Atkins]

@JoyceDivision Has she put the risotto photos on Foodim?

 

[instacharlie]

Are these her books in the background of the awful looking risotto pic?View attachment 225206

Wait, that's an indoor photo?? What's with the plants and the fence? I'm so confused right now

 

[IndigoStar]

Ahhh I could exchange Wire quotes all day.
Favourite series?

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

 

[Boyo]

She’s already THOUGHT OF THAT!

 

[help i need some help!]

funny thing is you know, we have a local group who cook for the homeless a few nights each week in one of the town car parks. She could get involved in that.

That is a really good call. She can work alongside Southend's own Salvo the clown.
#nevergonnahappen.

 

[Uberrima fides]

(but would, of course, solve no cases because she couldn’t be arsed & had no skills).

A bit like her cooking really.

 

[Lanie]

That business card has me HOOTING

It’s a misaligned picture of a heavily tattooed hand holding a posy of flowers. She’s sending things like she’s a little Etsy shop yet didn’t even send a packet of Haribo with the order. And the AUTOGRAPH. Who does she actually think she is?

Saying that I’d pay good money for Celery, Edinburgh.

I have a photograph and autograph from both the cheeky girls.( My dad got me it) I don't think it's worth much if I were to sell it on, perhaps this person will have more luck.

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

Looks like she spilt ink on that business card at the printers.

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. "

She is such a twat!
