Jack Monroe #69 I can see clearly now the make-up’s gone

[Silver Linings]

She’s already made her own money, quite a bit in fact, but clearly that hasn’t made her happy. I think she likes having a partner who is well off and well connected. There’s nothing wrong with that being an aspiration, it works out for plenty of people

I was just about to reply with pretty much exactly that.

 

[IndigoStar]

On it now

I feel it needs more added, brb

Can you make the hat say BUY rather than BOY?

 

[Scarletfever]

Bit worried she might fall headfirst onto that tap now. Plus, how smudgy is that eyeshadow going to be after a steam?

It's fine, she doesn't have any eyeshadow on today. Hence the strategic camera angle which miraculously doesn't show her face.

How on earth does a person come to know not just one but TWO experts on chicken dicks?

She knows everyone and everything.

 

[RocketPops]

Whaaat!! Looks like I have some catching up to do!

 

[MrsOgre]

I know you've just shared this @Silver Linings but it translates to she went out to the shop and forgot to put the array of eyeshadows on to make it look like a black eye

 

[Walkdengirl]

I think we shouldn’t acknowledge that video at all!


What has she got against a roux
Also I thought she was shunning her cookery to become a scathing political essayist and modern digital Robin Hood?

That sauce has nothing to do with cookery, so she's sticking to her word

Fuck, I read that in a Scarlett O Hara voice. The psychedelic kaleidoscope eye is quite impressive, the colour is much better and the blending decent. B+ for effort Jackie but I still don't believe it's all real. Two of my elderly relatives have had falls recently resulting in black eyes. There were cuts above the eye, the eyeball was bloodshot and the lower eyelid puffy. Very similar to my son when his face collided with a friend's head in the playground. And in all cases the bruise started to dip down the face.
I don't have any proof except for a now deleted tweet about Jackie drinking alcohol again but I do think she was drunk when she fell and slept it off.

Sending hugs to all the fraus who are struggling now, or have been in the past. The strength of character of the cabal is amazing

Amen to that and I extend that to Jack as well because I do think she IS struggling emotionally and mentally.

One of my friends has bipolar disorder (not saying that this is what Jack has) and she has lots of mood swings so that she's very up or very down. Mood stablilizers help her but she still has a lot of problems.

I wondered on this too, it is another indication that it really is a ready made Young's fish pie. Who would go to all the trouble of making a fish pie for their son and not make it large enough to feed you both?

It's not like she's vegan or anything (not after seeing what she's eaten over the past few weeks). Unless she was vegan ONCE, followed by she wasn't vegan THEN, but she is vegan NOW. I can't keep up.

She's cosplaying vegan for her shiny new followers.

Roxanne pallette used to be on our local radio station. The presenters went carting (don't quite me in that, it was something that had wheels on), she had such a bad accident they had to air ambulance her to hospital. When it all came out a few days later all she had was a mildly sprained wrist but had made such a fuss they thought she was seriously hurt. There was uproar about it. She used to live near a friend of mine, and I won't repeat when she said about her and her odd boyfriend.

Oh, go on, go on, go on....

 

[Atisketatasket]

Absolutely fucking SHAMELESS

This new Rootin' Tootin' (hootin') Jack is equal parts horrifying and hilarious. I actually can't quite believe it's happening.

She's like a real-life version of one of those characters Julia Davis plays - Jill Tyrell in Nighty Night, the girlfriend in Camping or the sociopath in Sally Forever. I never knew people like that actually existed, but clearly they do and thrive rather well in the Twitter/Instagram realm.

THAT'S IT!!!!! OMG THAT IS IT

I predict she’ll go public again some time this week. And probably when her agent/publishers tells her too.

 

[Flibbertigibbet]

How are they so uncrispy looking when she even posted a video of her parboiling and shaking them? She has a very special talent in fucking absolutely everything up .

Wasn't she using the steam on her face for some "beauty" purpose?

 

[Captainmouse]

She's cosplaying vegan for her shiny new followers.

Let’s hope they don’t spot all her leather gear

 

[ShowMeYourFeline]

Jack is not “very thin”. The obesity crisis has desensitised people to what normal sized looks like, so that overweight people look normal, and healthy weight people look thin.

My legs are thinner than Jack’s, and I have been accused of having eating disorders my whole life, yet my weight is healthy.

 

[People-huv-tae-know]

Is there words on that? I just see the gorgeous Tom Hardy.

Words pertaining to Jack but just focus on Mr Hardy. It's a good way to bring down blood pressure.

 

[I steal names]

She looks like Justin Bieber, so young. I’m only a little bit older than her and she’s too young to sustain this drama. It sounds patronising and I don’t mean it to be, but I hope she finds a rich partner who can keep her in the lifestyle she likes so that she isn’t so unhappy. Then all of her nonsense would be harmless.

My only issue with her aside from eye rolls at her writing style is her poverty porn patreon stuff. If she released novels and cookbooks that weren’t to my style i’d just shrug, but it’s the other stuff. Like any human, I want her to be happy and she isn’t.

I'm a wee bit older than her too, and had a son at about the same age. I have a family member I'd say is similar to Jack, and it's exhausting for everyone involved. Like you say, it isn't sustainable, and thankfully my close relative is coming over the bumps and into a period of stability. I genuinely hope JM can get there too.

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

uhhh I don't think that's the case. She has quite a few replies about the roast chicken willy stuff. (yes, chicken willies.)

When you want to know but don’t want to ask...

Completely off topic but how am I still a well known member? I was a chatty member before we were all downgraded and I've never changed since

Think Chatty is 500 posts now, so you're nearly there - I'm in the same boat.
