I agree.

I have tropical fish - they are a right faff sometimes and you can't just leave them to get on with it. they need all sorts of special conditions and TBH I can't even see guest cleaning the tank out/ doing a partial water change every week, and checking the pH (and other) levels.

Even goldfish suffer terribly if they aren't properly looked after, but the are stoic little souls and don't complain. (Mine have just gone to a friend's Olympic-swimming-pool-sized large pond because they outgrew our tiny pond.

It's not JUST a fish - it's a life. And no-one can see the suffering the way they could with a dog or cat, so they get neglected.

I'm worried about them now. :(

Edit because auto🥕 refused to accept "faff" as a word.

Just catching up with the last thread, the glass fountain pen from Venice and the dead friend she was weeping for - I think she's implying that the pen was a present from Russell Norman, who was clearly a lovely man who died last November. I remember thinking at the time that Jack Monroe must be longing to join in with the general outpouring of grief on foodie twitter (absolutely genuine and heartfelt) by mentioning her memories of visiting him in Venice (years before she strolled Per Rialto with Harold). (Can't be arsed to search for her mentions of Russell, I think it was around 2017?)

I have just taken a trip back in time to thread 46; older fraus will remember this as the legendary trip to Edinburgh.

To set the scene, LJC had left, Jack was posting thirst shots in an effort to lure her back. The very poorly kitten Jack was using for likes had died, and Jack had made a 'tribute' video for Youtube, and then claimed she had received death threats.

No doubt, fleeing in fear of her life, Jack booked the sleeper train to Edinburgh, letting everyone know the date and iirc narrowing the sleeper cabin she was using to one of a handful. She also posted a picture from her aparthotel window that gave enough detail to identify the apartment she was staying at. Jack also identified the restaurants she planned to eat at and the supermarket she was going to use,

On her way back she drew attention further to herself by tweeting the train company to make a spurious complaint.

So, do I think that Jack was so terrified of the squigger that she had to go on to celebrity police protection?
 
So many pages to catch up on. Not to do a guest but my aches and pains are so bad that my nap turned into a good old rest.

I get it's narc behaviour but if we all recognise the pattern, surely she does too? It's bloody mind blowing that it happens, without fail, and so frequently.

Also, I have no wine in and don't want to go get any. But there's a chaos looming. Warned! 😡

I have placed a blanket ban on pet fish in our home because I’d hate to hurt them with incorrect care.

Interesting detail @jordishaw! Of course, most people would mourn someone's death by sending private condolences to their loved ones and perhaps attending some sort of memorial gathering. Not posting stuff endlessly on socials.

Also, if some treasured friend had gifted you a treasured thing, surely you'd keep it safe?

We know Jack is careless with her possessions so any bullshittery about a lost pen doesn't really ring true, IMO.
 
Oh noes, Jack!

If only you could have bunged a nice wedge under their windscreen wiper for that stalker to leave you alone for a bit, like you did for this other stalker.

If only your credit wasn’t so fucked from multiple CCJs that you can’t get a credit card, if only you hadn’t been locked out of your Patreon for all these months while your Patrons continued to pay into it every month, and if only you hadn’t selflessly given all that Sue Lee money to charity! 😭

That would make me radiator-ripping levels of furious if she was glomming onto him so she had better bleeping not.

That putting cash under windscreen wipers bullshit is one of the craziest things she’s come up with.

Did the bakers dozen of tropical fish have to go to their own discrete safehouse, or could they bunk with Content?

Updated OFFICE team building (for people who work in Offices) for the 2020s!
“A cat, a dog, a brace of 344 tropical fish, a scamming cokehead and a child that doesn’t live with her all have to go to imaginary Safe Houses…”
