[MarthaFarkus]

Happy Birthday all you Birthdayists today, have a good one

Thanks lovely Poca for the thread. Gemini here which is amusing if you know my mental health conditions Don’t have much to say about Jack today, so crack on.

I'm a Cancer too and I just think it's the most hilarious of star signs. Everyone else gets to wear zodiac jewellery etc, but who wants a cute script necklace with Cancer on it?

Or crabs!

Sagittarius here (Dec 17th)married to a Gemini (May 24th) ,dunno if that's a good thing or not but it's lasted 31 years ,mind you having his and his seperate offices is definitely a plus.

Hope SB has a great birthday next week because he seems like a real sweetie and I so want him to be successful when he's older ,I'd love him to be a Michelin starred chef tbh ...

I'm an Aquarius, if we're doing star signs now!

I was starting to think I was the only one!

Imagine if him and Buddy Oliver became friends and opened their own restaurant...!

From Bootstrap Cook to Velcro Chef :' )

 

[Satisfying Click]

Imagine if he did train as a chef - the only one of the family invited onto Saturday Kitchen

oh don't worry i'm sure she got approval from her comrade Jezza first..being the most far left of liberal lefties

 

[Marmalade Atkins]

I’m sure someone else knows how to find the tweet where she said this, but according to her she didn’t make a sound plus she watched her own c-section.

That’s the one ta @Marmalade Atkins

Haha why did I say ‘watch’ - of course she ‘forensically eyeballed’ her own c-section.

Labours for over 30 hours in silence. Goes to A&E with her shiny eye shadow, and has a complete crisis over a tiny splinter in her finger...

 

[Bombastic]

Liberal conservatism is like elders not being racist because they have 'coloured' friends. Just duck off.

 

[Aquamarina]

I’m loving the forensic nature of the receipts today. Just to add to the horoscope chat, I’m a Sagittarius and Mr A is a Capricorn. I often think horoscopes are a load of old pony, but I am a textbook Sagittarian, so who bleeping knows?

Only problem is, Jack will be there lapping up all the credit. "I gave him a love of food! In our tiny rented ickle smol kitchen my SB softly, gently learned to cook eyelid sausages under my watchful eye."

Haha, a Tory think tank. Remember when she used to brand herself as a lefty, liberal, lezza cook or something? Like, was any of that true?

I wonder when she won her last award and what it was for.
I wish someone would post the details of her campaigns, including who she has worked with and what these campaigns have achieved. Even what the stated aims were/are, what they are currently doing.

edit - she lists campaigns/awards on her website, which she appears to be currently editing online, as one sentence ends in mid-air. I read she went to Tanzania with Oxfam, the others listed ring no bells with me.

Everything a competition with Jack.
Poorest of the poor.
Sickest if the sick.
Busiest of the busy.
Most targeted by online trolls of targeted people.
Hardest worker of all hard workers.
Longer working hours than anyone.
Worst labour endured by any woman.

I take it SB didn't get into Grammar School, otherwise she would be crowing about it and making it all about her. Crowbaring herself into his achievement.

 

[blurstoftimes]

i have absolutely no recollection of choosing to follow grace dent but this came up in my stories. She didn't tag Jack! deliberate?

I'm also a Cancerian, so no jewellery for me either.
Though I do like our combination of hard and soft

How the hecking heck can she see down there when lying on her back? It wouldn't be physically possible to see your own cesarean surely. I've seen my sisters scar, it is on the lower part of her belly. The baby bump would get in the way wouldn't it? Does she have an overly long neck?

Her last award has to have been the "Food personality of the year" one, given to her by The Observer. You know, the paper she wrote for at the time . These things are such circle jerks.
