I obviously meant they haven't got a hope in hell ffs. I do know that different words mean different things, don't revoke my Jacktionary privileges. I'm off to eat compost bin scraps as penance.

Hey, Sidey T. Aren't you responsible for the Jacktionary? Thanks so much for your hard work. The other day I was whiffling about our fav smol pixie's use of 'unctuous', not realising you had got there first. If you need references, Google works a treat.

I was also going to say that, thanks to Mx Monroe's f*ckwittery earlier about the house she likes, I now know where she lives 🔺. But because she's two weeks late with the Venous Bulb Index, I SHAN'T. ;)
 
I had a thought earlier on but forgot to post: is Findus quite ubiquitous? Can I do a quick ask of who here last thought about Findus before it was mentioned several times in this forum recently in relation to the Findus Pizza Bread “boy done good” nonsense?

Maybe I’m wrong in thinking it was quite a nostalgic but dated reference by us lot. Just find it strange i havnt seen it referenced for years yet here’s original thoughts Monroe tweeting about Findus crispy pancakes…

In an unrelated case of weirdness, I saw this headline;

As soon as I saw it, I thought 'Reverse Jack?'. It's actually a teenager trying to articulate something useful, but the reporting of it does her argument no favours.

Let's not forget that Jack had no shame crowdfunding her rent in April 2017:

Fun fact: she had just been awarded 24.000£ from the Hopkins trial the month before. 🙃

my friend who works in the press was freelance for around 7yrs or so. Never once did she ask anyone for a penny. She worked hard, saved hard, built a good reputation which meant she was often asked back for cover, special roles etc.
freelancing and freeloading are two different things Jack.

Tbf earlier a few of us were looking for orange trees (?) in the costa del Essex so don’t worry, just put Thorpe Bay £700k+ to look at all the FANCY houses that amazingly exist in the most deprived area of the UK…

After being a nosy ninny, there's a garden in the Thorpe Bay area with a Yin Yang lawn, now that is some FANCY tit.

I don't know why she doesn't just wait a bit longer I daresay her kid will want to go to uni and move into digs. So she can then get herself a two bed house somewhere. Why does she fixate on painting her front door a colour of her choice?!

Why doesn't she mention it to her landlord with a promise to paint it back or pay for it to be painted back, when she leaves. Her landlord might allow it.

We rented for a while when I was a kid and my mum asked the landlord if she could decorate. He said as long as it was the colour he wanted and done well when we left, he couldn't care less what we did with the walls.
 
Also another inconsistency (🎼🎶tale as old as tiiiime🎶🎶) - if you’re someone with the sheer volume of conditions she has, does a huge house with all of those associated costs make sense? This isn’t saying disabled people can’t have nice things obvs but an adapted house with step free access might make more sense for someone that lost the use of their hands in their 20s?

Also most adults who’ve progressed beyond student loans drop day run a lil sensitivity analysis on their finances. What happens if I / partner dies or becomes ill and can’t work anymore. What if this industry dies, what about cheaper labour available in xyz, blah blah blah. If you were disabled (as per Jack’s current bio? Or last?) surely that brings up yet even more questions?
