I came across this while adding to the wiki and it beggars belief

Guest in the Guardian, 2 October 2013: "After you've cut back everything else, food is the last to go. I didn't mind putting an extra jumper on if I had food in the fridge. It was the point where I had an extra jumper on and no food in the fridge that I realised things had gone badly wrong."

Guest in the Guardian, 29 October 2013: "I don't imagine the chief executives of any of the big six (energy companies) called before MPs on Tuesday has ever had to unplug their fridge because they simply can't afford to run it."

Not only can she not keep track of what she's told the same publication. She can't keep track of what she's told them in the same month! (Spoilers: We know she had a fridge because she mentioned it on her blog in 2012)

Several times I’ll have you know 🙄 She’s such a billy bullshitter.

Back to the industry WhatsApp group, the imagined conversations on here by people a lot wittier than me were so funny they made me cry and I nearly needed @FunnyFuneral’s services. Sending you big love darling.❤ Been there quite recently and it’s so difficult, my heart goes out to you.

One of my fave pretend BS Jacks was the one where she claimed her sources in the news media were giving her info on some unfolding situation, like she’s fkin Linda Day. See also the London attack she tried to glom on when her and LJC heard the news, looked at each other and “knew what we had to do” as if LJC and Jack are at a Similar level running news departments. Like Jack had to crack open the laptop and tweet.

Words are not her friend. Perhaps her skills are in photographic composition.

No. Must be something else.

Never was a more perfect example of someone's hubris and egotism than this empty, bland, dull snap of the backs of some random people being entered into a photographic exhibition. If she was slop, she'd eat herself

ETA it wasn't in an exhibition just an exhibition in jack's head. But she put it on the internet for people to waste eye energy looking at.

But wasn’t the Prince Harry thing just tricksy wording again, something like ‘a tip I picked up off Prince Harry’, which could either mean he told her to do it or, more likely, she read about something he’d said. It’s like her superpower.

I think Hazza was probably there at least one of the times she met the Queen. Probably all of them. In fact, I’d imagine her maj rallied the whole family round to meet the amazing suck up slopcook.

I am soooo sorry, @FunnyFuneral but I think this is finally my last gasp. Don't care where you chuck me tbf. Just read the above over me as you do!!!

I shall remain, as always, as a mere morsel (lightly spiced) in the shadow of the Valiof theDolls.... Forever and ever, ohbuggermehandandfist - or summat.

I actually don't believe I can read the next couple of pages of this grunk. Even armed with 19 Ventolin, 27 Tramadol, 13.3 and 1/4 Gabapentin, plus a decent snort of... Um, cheese. She isn't even on the radar and the canal has killed me!!!!

Your point stands @Be our guest . She's a 21 yr old woman here, and within a relatively short time will be declaring that her photographs are flying off the walls of her local gallery space. I had a girlfriend that age who was a really talented photographer and worked hard at it, studying at night tech, our bathroom converted into a darkroom etc but she couldn't sell a thing at exhibition. This Londoner collection is a series of snaps; some of them remind me of when you would collect your photos from the chemist and there were two or three at the back you'd taken just to use the film up.
My girlfriend was making some money from boudoir shoots. Lingerie, soft-focus, a present for the fiancé. More tasteful than SB's dad's glamour work imo, but then that makes me think - did Jack only take up photography because it was his thing?

So, two whole hours after I posted this HUGE bargain on Amazon Black Friday, with a MASSIVE 70% discount, I thought I’d check sales.

It turns out that this has now reached the heady heights of….

oh never mind, it remains unchanged at 8% claimed 🤭

Cheaper than the Kindle version, and still only 11% claimed as of just now...

I'd never considered that she took up "photography" (such as it is) because it was SB's dad's thing, but it makes sense. The narcs I know mine other people's traits and pass them off as their own. One is telling half my life story as her own now we no longer speak. Total lack of identity, or anything but a grasping void where a personality should be.

No idea why I have guest’s past nonsenses popping into my head today but also just recollected when @Cucumberthunder found more of 21-23 year old Jack’s poetry and songwriting at Writers CafeView attachment 2577435 qView attachment 2577438 qView attachment 2577440 q

Though sadly not Unsung Songs… which from the intro is just as evocative and haunting as Ghost Train. View attachment 2577425 qCan we have Unsung Songs please?! I’m worried about them lying there “strewn on the unplayed piano”.

It’s unfathomable to me that a fully grown adult with a kid was incessantly putting all this tit out there. It’s more like a 13 year old’s MySpace page.

And the hideous “we’re safe now” or something, as if the only thing anyone was worried about was her. bleep.

I will say again, I fear for our overstretched A&E Depts on Boxing Day 🥫🔨🤕

I dunno. It may provide some cover for certain individuals at A&E:
”So you say you were trying to open a tin of beans but you’re too poor to own a tin opener, so you used a tip from a well-known poverty campaigner and tried using the sharpest of your knives, all your courage and a mallet but you couldn't find a mallet so you searched around and found the little ‘un’s Action Man amongst the wrapping paper but the punctured can then sprayed some bean juice on the floor and you slipped, fell on the Action Man and, as it was early Xmas morning and you hadn’t yet got dressed, it entered you anally?”

She did eat too many poppy seeds and fall on his knob in 2009, when those photos are dated, so that would make sense. You can imagine her buying a fancy camera and everything to oh so casually (of course) get to him that way.
