Welcome to thread #425, the superbly apt title was created by @traumatised sideboard and nominated by @Fruitjack. Chapeau dear hearts, bowls of slop with dead pets or pet semitaries for you both of you (may the vegan Gods forgive me).

To be honest I don't have much of a recap as Jack has been so boring lately and I have entered a fugue state. I think 'she has tweeted some vintage bollocks, covered up her tit with more inane tweets and has an awful facetuned profile pic' about covers it.

Twitter remains unimpressed with the hoopy grifter, Patreon has potentially seen another drop. Jack issued a pathetic apology via Patreon after shamelessly deleting previous posts and negative comments (or was that a previous thread?). Typical behaviour of someone who definitely doesn't have something to hide.

The highlight however is the Slopalong thread where the Sadomasochists among us make Jack's 'dire recipes'. For those of you who are too sensible to join in, you can engage in Schadenfreude as the Sloppers suffer from taste bud and digestive related complaints. Join us if you dare.

Slopalong: Cooking with Jack Monroe

Was looking into veggie recipes/beetato again and found @AndrewsDaddy noticed this is a fuel-heavy recipe, a single beetroot in the oven for 1hr 15mins, what the hell man. But it's ok I have a thrifty tip, save money on your gas bill by cooking individual beetroots at your girlfriend's house 🙄...

Sorry about the recap, not my best work. Maybe my chunky not Mediterranean arse can save the thread provided I don't talk out of it.
 
Thanks Peoply-Huv! Previous thread is located thisaway.

Jack Monroe #424 She’s as Greek as Prince William

Thank you to @Lumpyspaceprincess and an unknown second frau for the thread title. You both win a Harvester mixed grill with salad bar option, so step forward to claim your prize. The last thread closed with Jack waxing lyrical over the joys of a large mixed doner with all the trimmings when...

I have a question. I guess it's rhetorical. We are told that Jack cannot lie, and is, as she claims, always very keen to correct inaccuracies whenever they occur. So then, how has she managed not to tell her mum she was expelled, for ~18 years? Even if her mum didn't notice, she's managed not to correct that inaccuracy, for nearly two decades? Until very recently.

I hope you’re not trying to insinuate that when Jack said she couldn’t lie, she was in fact lying?

I’m just curious and can’t remember the twitter name but remember when Jack came in like a hero to hit the target fundraising with a couple of hundred quid for that disabled guy to buy the house? Did he buy the house or what happened with that?

Just looked him up and he’s still grifting fundraising despite now having a house (he raised 52k and bought a 25% shared ownership with a housing association owning the other 75%.
He moved in a few weeks ago. A quick glance at his Nitter feed tells me that he’s switched his fundraising back on because although his occupancy agreement says the housing association won’t pay for whatever adaptations he is looking for, he doesn’t think it’s fair that he should have to.

ETA: just found this on looking through his page. This is exactly why Jack donated £270 to him, tweeted him and then added her name to the donation on JustGiving.

Yes that is a puzzle. You'd think her parents would have asked how school was going at some point forcing her to confess.

I merely highlighted an inaccuracy that occurred to me about 10 mins ago.

I've often not said something, but haven't lied. E.g. I ate the last chocolate and hoped nobody noticed. That still means I haven't directly lied I guess, except perhaps by omission. But if you're the type of person that can't cope with untruths, how could you cope without correcting someone's mistaken assumption that you weren't expelled? Mostly I crack regardless. I end up having to Christmas shop late because I get all sweaty about the secret and tell people what I've got them if I start shopping now. 😂😂

Even if they didn't. The very fact that she says she corrects things that are wrong, well, from what she said, she didn't. For 18 years. So does she correct incorrect stuff after 18 years? Are we now a mere 16 years away from finding out how much patreon made in 2020?

He moved in a few weeks ago, to a shared ownership home. A quick glance at his Nitter feed tells me that he’s switched his fundraising back on because although his occupancy agreement says the housing association won’t pay for whatever he is looking for, he doesn’t think it’s fair that he should have to.

So I’m assuming he has a job as is a computer science graduate which would be an employable field. He has moved into his own home (looks like shared ownership) but part of home owning is that you have to pay for your own repairs, disabled or not. Why take on home ownership if you aren’t prepared to shell out for the costs associated.
 
I've just read the posts she made here a couple of years back for the 1st time...absolute pity party. Shes just so unpleasant and humourless. All that perpetual victim cry-arsing, her excuses for everything, even her AA experience was of course a sorry story. I'd bin someone like that faster than her crappuccino.

Indeed. And on looking at his JustGiving page, he’s said, a few days ago:

Big thank you to everyone who made a donation to help me repair my water heater, radiators and wet room window this week. I am currently waiting for a quote from a plumber and have been recommended a glazier by my housing association, whom I shall contact in the coming days. Please contribute and share to get these repairs done, enabling me to focus on making the garden wheelchair accessible and installing assistive tech

I mean, why would you raise money before you had a quote, and why in the winter months focus on the garden rather than essential repairs!
either way, this is massively off topic so I’ll stop now.
 
Continuing win the Community/Britta parallels I'd like to quote Evil Abed and say

'You're average, Jack Monroe. You're every kid on the playground that didn't get picked on. You're a business casual potted plant, a human white sale. You're VH1, Robocop 2, and Back to the Future 3. You're the center slice of a square cheese pizza.

Actually, that sounds delicious. I'm the center slice of a square cheese pizza. You're Jim Belushi'
 
Went to see a friend of mine today in Thorpe Bay, she lives near St Augustine church which is a really interesting building. I can say the area is far from crappy or poor and that I didn’t drive past any crappy looking bungalows. All looked really nice tbh and who knows, one of the them may have been hers.
The weather WAS very crappy though, ….rain, rain and more rain.
