Aunty Pat enjoying a nice Radox soak after getting back from her Thursday evening Accountancy class/Slimming World double-whammy, thinking of her 8-4 shift in the morning and the stack of Uncle Dennis's butch checked shirts she still needs to iron.

"Thank God the weekend's almost here" she sighs.

Who exactly is taking this photo? SB or a tripod and timer combo? Either way, it’s 😳
 
I suspect that most of us would be a little less understanding of Chris Packham's social skills were we to hear that he had been begging a living on the internet, had no actual expertise and had been bullshitting his whole career, had been raising money for various causes with zero transparency, and was being funded by well-intentioned patrons whilst doing none of what they believed they were sponsoring.
I think that's the difference.

I get that but social skills are separate from all of that, and when Jack responds on Twitter to someone’s post with a barely relevant anecdote of her own then she’s faced frequent criticism on here even when her anecdote is correct with a slight connection (so I’m definitely not talking about an all herbs are interchangeable situation), when she did it on DKL and for times she’s told tales of similar with SB.

Which is exactly what Chris Packham did on this TV show, dismissed someone else’s input then proceeded to share his own story and frown when his step-daughter responded that it wasn’t relevant.

She is obviously far more of a twit generally than he is and he has far wider knowledge of his field than she does of hers, but that behaviour was identical. So if it’s ok for him because he’s autistic and has the corresponding social difficulties, then to me Jack should get the same slack when she does it, because she’s also likely autistic and clearly that must be an autistic behaviour if Chris is getting a pass for it.

Why... why are there so many lumps of dirt in there? Looks like she's having her first bath in a month and all the dirty skin flakes and toe jam have risen to the top. Lawd knows what's sloughing off from her brown eye and unruly labia...

Nobody gets a pass as I was explaining to my soon to be 19 year old son
Chat tit, get banged.

It’s one interaction you’re comparing.
Jack is capable of replying nicely to people she’s trying to charm. It’s the average joe’s she has a tit on.
she may be autistic but she’s certainly a bleep.
I don’t think Chris gives out false or dangerous info, or feels entitled to a house for all the good he does. He also lives alone and spends time apart from his partner and her daughter because he needs to.

@hoopdedoo that little pig tattoo is based on Leggy’s nickname for her. (I am not kidding).

Thread title by @WoolyMammoth nominated by both @HotesTilaire and @plentyofpepper you all get to enter your butch phase with 5kg of plaid shirts.

In the last thread, Jack made her long-awaited return to Twitter to lap up some praise for her Greenbelt appearance which meant we were treated to some candid photos where she looks suspiciously thumb-like. She has bought up the entire stock of checked shirts in the east of England and her son has turned into a striking graceful woman who shares trainers with her. Please post additional recap if I forgot anything.

When nominating a thread title please use the words 'thread title' and no swearing. Wiki is the pink button up top.

Thank you for recognising the gruelling 100 hour weeks put in by guest portrait mode.

Can I just ask will the shirts be washed or will they smell like mould and gone off aftershave? As I like to take care of myself, despite being a giant hairy elephant. If these free clothes are going to smell off, I'm going to just carry on with my wool and Hotes and pepper can fight over smelling musty and looking crumpled.
