haha love how she's got in there, "someone's googling the chairs and they're usually wrong"

no, we're not. that's just pre-emptive deflection for any squigs who might be curious and pop over here. and it's really hard to triangulate them anyway cos there's hundreds of fugly school-like plastic chairs out there

Let me fix that for you, pretend to buy budget beans, then get your squiggles to pay for your cotswolds, via patreon, tip jar, paypal etc
 
500! Better buy some more chairs, Jack. You DO have friends 🥰

I could message her and tell her he's a lizard in disguise but it doesn't mean it's true good lord. At least she deleted it! Maybe she realised that making spurious claims about someone's integrity is worse than making genuine claims about it but that'd require some self-reflection.

Managed to get a vid of Pooh-Bear's arse. Note that there's no bum hole to be seen, nor is he where food is consumed. Enjoy!View attachment 464379 q

I've been meaning to ask if you had any videos of your cats, the one in your avatar makes me smile every time. Love the fluffy tails, I have a half ragdoll half idiot and sometimes I just sit and giggle at him wandering round with his ridiculous duster and his big yellow moon eyes. And yes, the tails are an advantage in that regard, asked my wife the other day if she'd ever actually seen his bumhole and she had to admit she hadn't. He's a classy chap.

Around 2013.
Well that was when it was gutted, refurbished.
It could still be owned by them and managed by someone else I suppose.

I found this with a very quick google, of course it may be wrong but it suggests he still had it mid-2015.

I couldn’t finish it when we had it for book club. I really questioned my taste in literature cos Jack read it twice and raved about it 🥴

Funnily enough I was talking about this book just yesterday, my mum got it for Christmas and I was asking if it was any good. Nope, TERRIBLE, was the verdict.

The tuxedo in my avatar is my girl Boudicca (Bunny). She's so dumb, I love it.

And yes, the proper big pantaloons are great for hiding bumholes!!

Can we talk about how out of this world amazing Nicole Kidman and Alexander Skarsgard are in that show though? And Robin Weigert as the therapist? A slow devastating masterclass. Would recommend it to all of the Fraus (and Herrs) who haven't seen it.

Also went into it with a huge crush on Alexander Skarsgard and was SHOOK. Shook.

I interrupt my regularly scheduled Grunk to say

Shook is the word. And I'd only seen Robin Weigert as Calamity Jane in Deadwood - THE RANGE

That comment about the Daily Mail being apoplectic because she has a garden and doesn't live in a council high rise has just done me. Who the hell do they think we people that live in council high rises are? Some sort of an underclass?

Why should Jack not live in a high rise block of flats? Not good enough for Jack, it's not for her sort. Well they can sod off looking down their noses at us, we truly are as good as them.

There is nothing wrong with living in a high rise block of flats, there is nothing wrong with living in a social housing, whether that be council or Housing Association. It is provided for exactly the sort of person Jack is, someone who can't afford to buy their own property.

By the way, many council and housing association properties have gardens, many of them fairly large gardens. But it is obvious that Jack does not consider social housing good enough for her and her child, she has never, ever, pursued that option ever.

She’s also evidently stupid enough to not realise council/social tenancies are far more secure than private ones - and she’d even be able to paint the inside more or less whatever colour she wanted. If she’d ever cared about stability and not 18 moves for SB, she’d have gone down the council track.

Hello from a Frau approximately 10 miles west of you 🔺 I grew up approx 5 miles from Southsea and as we were not as posh, we abbreviated to “squin”.

My old school chums would be distraught to discover they did not invent “dinlow”. I’m sure, however, they will maintain that they were the first to use “mush” (pronounced like push)

This thread is taking me back. When they weren’t yelling ‘mush’ at each other, it was “Alreeeeeeet geez?!” 🤣

Nope sorry, as with 'dinlow', 'mush' is also a Romani word. We have some erm, interesting contributions to the colloquial English language 😂

That's insane. Looking at Rightmove (I'm BORED OK!), there are 2-bed flats as cheap as £725 a month in Southend. Even if she spent a little more on a nice place, say £1k a month, she could be putting away £14/15k a year. In 2 or 3 years, she'd have a pretty decent deposit. Even with a smaller amount, schemes like help to buy would get her onto the property ladder.



Lack of deposit and being self-employed are admittedly working against her. But if she saved up and kept her accounts in order, showing a steady income, she could get a mortgage in a couple of years. However, even with a good income, if your money is in such chaos that your rent is bouncing (most likely along with other bills) and you're in persistent debt, then no mortgage company is going to be interested.

Admitting financial fraud won’t help, the fact that she was investigated will be on file
 
With her typical lack of empathy, Jack never addresses the plight of the landlady with all the bouncy rent. Whether it’s real or just a temporary glitch she doesn’t deserve this. If someone didn’t pay Jack on time it would be fizzy knickers all over Twitter!

(Cue JM telling us what a wonderful, understanding relationship she has with said landlady.)

The kids at school used to say charver too, before chav was an insult, meaning little person/ lad kind of thing. Is that Romany?

I had some very happy years as a young teacher in Portsmouth before we had our own kids. We had a flat in Southsea and then bought in Fratton in the days when you could get 100% mortages (and more-- someone I know got 105% or something)
