Jack Monroe #566 Set flavours to none

[chizontiz]

Birthdays and christmases are so weird aren’t they. Culturally I think we do fetishise them a bit and there can be a sense of entitlement if you perceive you’re not getting what everybody else does, even in your own family. It is entitlement fuelled by capitalism and consumerism though - none of us are owed any of these things.

I don’t have kids but I’m sure if I did I’d absolutely love to spoil them rotten on their birthdays and christmas - I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, especially if you have the means to do it, but perhaps we should also be teaching the haves and have not kids that it’s all just material stuff that doesn’t actually mean anything. But I also know kids can be cruel and to them these status symbols do mean everything in the dog eat dog world of the playground, so it’s tough!

Bringing it back to guest though, didn’t she have an iPhone when they first came out? That along with everything else we know makes it very hard to believe she ever went without. She might feel different emotionally, and that might be justified to a certain extent, but mate you gotta do the work to realise just how privileged you really were (your family fostered for duck sake) so that you don’t take out the resentments of your 6 yo self out on your actual son who will have no idea why you seemingly resent celebrating him so much.

How have I never seen this video before, in which during a channel 4 news debate, Jacks rebuke to Julia Longs position that Male people are not female is that she is “bang out of order”

It’s a debate on a professional forum, guest, it’s not Facebook.

. “What’s your thoughts on the cost of living crisis Jack?”

“Maaaaate it’s just pure shady! The tories are proper snakes like. Just me and SB from now on”

I wonder when this was filmed. Her voice, though still unbearable, is no where near as bad and as ‘nasal’ as now .
she must have a bad cold due to all the

She’s deluding herself if she thinks anyone believes her parents were allowed to foster when they were desperately poor, could barely feed their own kids, were living on the charity of their church and 大チョコレートさん was hitchhiking to work! Unless she’s saying they lied to pass vetting, which would be a quite serious allegation. And of course she was “the poor kid at the grammar school” when everyone else had a lilac Mercedes, I’m still convinced she says that in an effort to conjure the image that she was like an impoverished scholarship student at an exclusive fee paying school which isn’t true

A very merry umbirthday guest! I hope the cake is sloppy and the drink is dry.

Let’s hope there’s no snow in sarfend

What happens when you get your hair inspo from Vic Spanner’s Mam in Carry on at your Convenience. View attachment 2820643 qView attachment 2820642 qin every single pic of her from that event she looks so bleeping sullen. Face on her like a slapped arse.

Hope you’re this miserable on your birthday, you lying thieving grifter. Happy birthday to your brother and your son (you know, the ones you seethe resentment at) tho!

Birthdays, A Rambling. Echo & Gazette Column, 19 March.

celebrated my birthday on Sunday, and those of you who asked were simply told that it was a ‘milestone’. A quarter of a century milestone at that, and when I say I celebrated on Sunday, what I actu...

Narc twit.

To she spent her birthdays with people she likes, whereas the kid got packed off for her Mum to deal with?

 

[Carefree]

Her "beloved" Pool couldn't even beat Man United in normal time on her day of birth. What a tiny shame.

 

[hippitybrode]

Did a double take. No shade to Halsey but this world-changer take is exactly how JM sees herself. I’m amazed she didn’t come up with “tribi”

 

[CrushedIcePlease]

Fourteen days between birthdays is bloody ages. Zero chance of anything being overshadowed it’s literally weeks between them .

Such a twit.

 

[SouthendRealEstate]

guest is still more terrifying tho.

Spoiler: Goes for “zany”, gets whatever this is…

Imagine ‘what could have been’, Jack. This could have been you, if you weren't such a grifting, horrible, lazy, talentless, twisted narc. Shame, isn’t it. I hope the solitude of the bungamansion is suitably isolating for you, to minimise any damage you could do to others.

 

[BeardyBap]

Good of her to ensure that the internet forever knows the young fella’s DoB though. You know, like other parents in the public eye don’t.

Excuse you, DoB and mother's maiden name. Probably a good guess at first pet too.
And twitter pw.

Shouldn’t that be ‘snow time’

 

[Marmalade Atkins]

I am disappointed she no longer posts the baby photo, tbh.

[Bread]

Probably the only time she's been early for something in her life.

 

[Valiofthedolls]

It’s rather less disappointing she hasn’t posted a delicious birthday recipe inspired by her “half Irish blood”

For 24 small fat rich Guinness brownies

Or as “half Irish blood” guest likes to call 24 brownies…

Double Chocolate Guinness Birthday Brownies, 15p

Firstly, for the budget-conscious among you raising eyebrows at the use of a bottle of the authentic black stuff in a batch of brownies, fear not, for this recipe makes 24 of the little tinkers, an…

Thankspaceyou for the synopsis. I have never made it more than 30s into that video.

I'm so glad it's not just me. I managed BOULEVAAAARRRRRD, I even got through the whole of Landslide, but that?
Nope. The second hand embarrassment is just too much, I nearly turn myself inside out!

‘Makes 24 of the little tinkers’
Oh do duck off

 

[Hollaaa]

BRB just off to check if the recipe for those brownies is anything like Nigella's recipe for chocolate Guinness cake.

Edit: well, Nige is namechecked in Jack's recipe but they are quite different. Nigella's sounds much better, for a start.

Yeah, vile.
Not the first time (nor the last) that she used this particular slur.

I've heard the word before in my long ago childhood but I didn't know it was a slur. I can guess though, she really is a repulsive thing.
