Joanie is definitely on my laminated list. I know, I’m weird….. 😍

I am weird in a similar and possibly worse way - New Joanie in Wentworth is also on my laminated list. When I was a child the glamour where I lived was provided by Mrs Doyle who was the double of Old Joanie, so much so that when Joanie made her Prisoner debut me and my entire family shouted "MRS DOYLE" and then frantically scanned the credits to see if they were in any way related- they weren't as far as we could tell. Mrs Doyle was a very different character though, she used to let me cut about in her ballroom dancing gear and inexplicably tell me to tell my mother I'd been drinking vodka with Mrs Doyle when I left after tea and a plate of biscuits.

Too short. ETA, I keep wondering if there's a personal reason for TD's jack snark... Maybe she just really loves trifle and taxes, hey

I suppose it's not impossible that their paths have crossed but I think she's just seen what we've seen and arrived at similar conclusions. Leaving aside all the grifting and ethically dubious stuff, TD has an obviously genuine love of food. That alone would put Jack on her shitlist.

true, she boosts up a LOT of not especially big time food writers - probably it hasn't escaped her attention that they're all losing opportunities to the smol pixie

@jenny2603 wow, Mrs Doyle sounds fabulous 😁 I saw Prisoner-The Musical three times, when Paul O’Grady was still Lily Savage and Joanie was brilliant - people in the front row threw roses onto the stage for her, it was amazing 🤩
 
Best. Grunk. Ever. I hope the owner of the original tax man avatar can see me waving. He’s called Hector btw.
I’d just like to thank the Cabal, for their ongoing mithering, Rish mate and his Indian wife for enduring tweets from someone just as tax-dodging but significantly less savvy and the peeps at Lorraine by Ranvir, who probably yeeted the saver squad after finding out the tips were both inedible and based on saving by not paying your taxes.
 
There are people who work hard for their earnings, but don’t file their returns or pay tax, because of chaotic life, addictions, family issues, ostritching, overspending - whatever. And the best deal they get is a time to pay arrangement where they agree their taxes and come up with a payment plan. They are not overly generous with time, I think they can take directly from earnings if the situation warrants it. When HMRC realise it’s all from grifting squiggles and pretending to be disabled how sympathetic do you think they will be?

I know Kerry Katona has been bankrupt 4 times whatever (exaggeration mlud), but it’s not cute, and it does have repercussions. Like now she’s made it all back on Onlyfans and I don’t think OnlySlop is going to bring it all in.

I now (don’t) want to smell the new fragrance ‘Lorraine’ by Ranvir
 
Squig tweeting into the void: I like apples

Pre-OH Jack: I like apples more than anyone in the world has ever liked apples, there's nothing I can't tell you about apples even though you never asked and don't care

Post-OH Jack: my OH really likes apples and they have a really big car and a big telly and lots of money and still have all their own teeth

But if she is being investigated, crowdfund money hitting her account, will be seen as earnings and thus increase her liability surely?🤔

Yup, probably. I think she's on very sticky ground with the t-shirt money personally, that's going to be counted as her earnings which she has then donated to charity. It'll also count as turnover for VAT purposes, although I assume because of the way Teemill works it'll only be the royalty rather than the full selling price of the t-shirt/bag/whatever.

That’s pretty normal though - a lot of directors choose to take their tax free sum through PAYE and then the rest of their income comes from dividend (lower tax rate).
Tax avoidance isn’t technically illegal. Tax evasion is. (Before she sets her solicitor in Yemen on me, I am NOT accusing her of this)

I am a lazy Frau though and pay my entire wage through PAYE because it’s easier than trying to work out what profit we’ll make in a year.

I have no idea of her turnover but £85k a year isn’t a lot so it wouldn’t surprise me if she surpasses this and actually also owes vat. I’ve been in a mess with vat before - I quickly learned you do not mess with that department 😬

It's a very specific type of autism that can only be self- diagnosed by extremely online halfwits.

Unfortunately there are absolutely loads of self diagnosed autistic people on Twitter and TikTok and they do a lot of damage to real autistic people. Under the rules of the communities who do ths Jack would be accepted without question. People might be a bit socially awkward and not like a lot of noise and latch onto autism as the reason when they are just a bit socially awkward. It means those of us who have real struggles are written out of the communty and autism is just seen as a minor quirk.

I actually got quite excited when saw the red lentil and coconut milk because a red lentil and coconut dal is one of my favourite foods. I really don't see the need to add mash since it is already a soft dish and really cheap. I can make a huge pot of it (about 4 main meal portions) for 60p lentils, 65p, 20p onion and maybe about 25p in spices.

The mash s just going to make it bland and instant mash also has a strange flavour to it.She said she used turmeric and garlic only. I use turmeric, garlic and ginger powder, coriander and cumin seeds and some chilli so it actually has some taste and isn't like baby food.
