I don’t want to upset cat people or really just genuine considerate folk but leaving that bleeping kitten in a bathroom with a ‘housemate’ is just awful. Really awful. The poor thing will be terrified. Who would give a kitten to someone so self obsessed that they would F off the next day and shut it in a room with no sensory comfort and a massive Tom cat bristling outside? Jesus. I’m furious.
 
Gosh, what a treat to grunk through all this after work. So much to unpack!

The kitten. Christ.

She's still hard at it with the Plastic Paddying, I see. It's not that she can't tap into or explore an Irish heritage, but couldn't she do it a bit less obnoxiously? Obviously her mum can be both Irish and from the North, so I don't think that stops Jack from genuinely having Irish heritage. But it's so exhaustingly superficial, isn't it?

Prunes and murky ends don't belong together in a sentence, Jack.

She just wants to sound exotic.

Spoiler alert we are not.

It weirds me out how involved people get when they have any sort of Irish heritage.

I never actually celebrated st Paddy's Day till I spent the day outside NI. 😂
 
I’m not here for the “so depressed” chat. Having depression is not something to aspire to, or be glamorised. It's not “wear black cus depressed”. There's always bloody something to complain about with Jack, and i’m so tired of hearing it.

Jack, funny thing, the more you complain about how tit your life is, the shitter it will be. Take a look at all you have for a change, and be grateful!
 
Grunking,
but "today in (postnatal) depression" was several hours openly weeping for no real reason whilst bouncing, feeding and singing to a 4 month old baby and feeling anxious about getting a booster because a) the only centre coming up for me isn't accessible by public transport and I can't drive b) I'm scared it's going to knock me for six and I won't be able to look after said baby. (ps I'm fine but my husband has had to take a couple of days off work)
Are there any walk-in centres in your area? Are any local gps doing them?

The line from the poem is “and doesn’t suit me”, you tit.

I had my post moderated before for chat about SB’s dad and I’m not mad about it because I have no boundaries when it comes to gossip and need to be reigned in, but it’s worth bearing in mind when the David Baddiel doc airs. Yes, there are certain threads here which go way too far, they’re uncomfortable reading. But anything remotely speculative on Jack’s thread is nipped in the bud: literally everything we talk about is because she shared it, put it out there for the world to see. That alone should give her pause that maybe, just maybe, she is a victim of nobody but herself (of course, it won’t. She’s Queen Cluster Bee.)
 
I like Jamie Oliver.

I think he's quite a good chef.

Just thought I would say this.
His recipes are actually very accessible and I would sooner buy a student his than Jack’s.
I’ve always found the recipes work as well, he may come across a bit of a tosser at times but his actual passion and dedication to good ingredients is there.


have to say I am breaking out the owl champagne at the George Michael lie…… given there is actual photographic evidence online of both of them 20 years ago it’s a bizarre claim!
