Jack Monroe #144 The man from Strictly, he say No

[Mokie]

Anyone else hear this through gritted teeth?

Yes, Allegra has the TV career JM dreams off. When she says she’s been taking a break from telly more like she’s not had any other offers.

And that nonsense about Pensions. Yes pensions make up a big chunk of the social security budget but you contribute to it all your working life. Maybe if she’d had a proper job instead of gritting and pretending to be poor she’d see the contributions on her payslip.

I can't stand it when she uses "me" in place of "my" - YOU'RE NOT A COCKNEY SPARRA, LUV.

I tit you not I found my first grey hair on my thirtieth birthday. Seemingly appeared from nowhere overnight.

I'm salt & pepper with full-on badger stripes on each side with a big, grey quiff (on my head). No, I'm not on 'The Masked Singer' but have been like this since in my late 20s..I'm <coughs> 42 now & love it.

I think Jaime Winston in the Jack Life story. Or Sheridan Smith. Would be gloriously shite.

I'd love to see someone like Kate Beckinsale make a Hollywood pouty lipped glamfest of The Poverty too.

but but but! jaime winstone's already been jack! on r4 with disapproving non-dusty grandma june whitfield

I’ve got about 25 more screenshots from mags ranging from Essex life, good housekeeping, psychologies magazine, some more diva, I don’t know where to start so I’ll leave the attached here in the meantime...

Well she acts like a wanker...?

If she doesn't want to use his name on Twitter, at least say "my son". SB is so impersonal, it is a generic term and could mean any SB. It is so dismissive of her relationship with him, like he is some sort of possession.

Another of her little habits that sets my teeth on edge.

Just like she refers to her partners as Mrs J. Always reminding everyone that they are insignificant bit players in the Jack show.

Don’t get me started on using the words ‘super super delicious’ to describe spending time with her son. Then again I guess that the words delicious are rarely appropriately used in the crappy bungalow

oh ok, I looked up the liver and sultana thing. it was for a Finnish inspired xmas menu for the grauniad in 2013.

then I googled the specific dish

every day's a school day at the hands of jack monroe!

Trust Jack to have the arrogance to see a recipe for a dish hated by a nation’s schoolchildren and probably a hefty chunk of its adults and think “I’m talented enough to change their minds”.

However, on the legendary Saturday night just passed when we had the origin of @essexgirl101, much excitement and sexy full-time for many Fraus & Herrs, my wife cooked my favourite dinner of Liver & Bacon. I got drunk, then fell asleep.

Why is everything cooked/dried in a rusty loaf tin? Mushrooms, orange peels, bollock sausages, gifted LM sausages.

She'd have to play herself, not sure even the most RADA trained could pull off that adendoidal honk.

Ed (two kitchens) Milliband could give it a go? She’s a big fan of his and he might just pull off the masculine aesthetic..?

Jack Monroe #145 Mamapapa, why is all the food brown?

Congratulations to @GoLando for the thread title! 🎉 your prize: you get to taste test Jack’s tinned mandarin dish. Did she submit her book? it’s a mystery. Some old Diva articles about Jack were shared by @discolisa It was a tense race, but mandarins took the lead in her hot poll. SB came...

New thread! Sorry, the recap is lacking as I’ve not kept up very well with the thread. Please add to it if I’ve missed anything good.
