Jack Monroe #580 It’s time to end the slop show

[Geetbo]

Good luck explaining that the song in Stranger Things was Akshally a big hit in the 1980s for Kate Bush. Godspeed, Geets.

I had to explain who Tom Jones is the other day. Might try to teach them all Saturday Night Dance tomorrow.

There's at least 4 who could be her! My money is the one in the maroon top by the doors at the back.

The one standing there because she's got to go back in a minute and make sure the urn's full up for the teas once the actual campaigners and candidates have done their bit?

I remember once at work the very lovely Albert Finney popped in so I was, of course, charmingly chatting away with him, all smiles. When he left the young philistines I worked with were curious who he was so I explained, "that's Albert Finney. You know, the actor. Tom Jones. No, not the singer, the film!"

Reader, they had no idea who he was or had even seen any of his films when I reeled them off. I was in DESPAIR!

 

[hoopdedoo]

Interesting that guest hasn't mentioned Tom Waits as one of her musical faves, although she listened to one of his songs enough times to murder it by singing it perform it for her Glasto-sized audience on the YouTubes.

ETA: Also, everyone I know whose family went to a small-c conservative Christian church was strictly forbidden from listening to mainstream pop music. It had to be "Christian" music - not just hymns and the like, but also Christian bands that did Godly pop-style music. Guest hasn't explained how all that Satanic music was played in Big Chocco's devout household.

I still remember the day I played my much younger foreign-born colleague We All Stand Together by Paul McCartney and the Frog Chorus She was just staring at me open mouthed going "This is by the guy who was in the Beatles? The Beatles?????" I think it broke her brain.

 

[TheDragonWithAFlagon]

It wouldn't have killed to just reply 'Yeah, a lot of people feel down after a big event. What was your favourite part/song?', as that would have redirected the Zoomer's thoughts to the positive memories and feelings about what she's just seen, making her happier again.

Instead, she just chipped in with a double downer.

I still remember the day I played my much younger foreign-born colleague We All Stand Together by Paul McCartney and the Frog Chorus She was just staring at me open mouthed going "This is by the guy who was in the Beatles? The Beatles?????" I think it broke her brain.

To be fair it broke all our brains.

To be fair, that song breaks a lot of people's brains when they compare it to Sir Paul's other non-shite creations. Like tenderstem @YerDa said.

Explaining Tom Jones: he sung a song about murdering a woman. Would you like to hear it?

 

[BeardyBap]

The film Saturday Night Fever had the working title Saturday Night, but the Bee Gees already had the song Night Fever in the can. The film’s title was changed.
I’m convinced she mangled that story with the Whigfield song. Somehow.

 

[rage naan]

do you lads reckon that she needs Carole and Rosemary and Natalia in her OFFICE to hold her and also give her space and adjust to her needs so she can work. do you reckon she does her own washing up ( but no one else's)

I have so many questions

 

[Lucy Aeroplane]

I still remember the day I played my much younger foreign-born colleague We All Stand Together by Paul McCartney and the Frog Chorus She was just staring at me open mouthed going "This is by the guy who was in the Beatles? The Beatles?????" I think it broke her brain.

Little Aeroplane loves the Frog Song sooo much and is bloody adorable singing along “BOM BOM BOM ba-la-la”. (It’s slightly annoying to have to listen to it pretty much every morning, but while I will not countenance Cocomelon, I can tolerate more or less anything else.)

anyway back on topic, Jack Monroe built a career out of lying about ever being poor, and has grifted thousands and thousands of quids off well meaning people, pass it on.

I just think she’s thick as bottled tit.

 

[secretsrsafe]

Are we watching guest's redemption arc in real time?

Socials scrubbed, inane posts, she's back to politics and has the support from Labour?

Never fear, as history has proven, she’ll duck up big time at some point. Narcs cannot change.

I heard Dear Jessie by Madonna the other day and thought I’d dropped acid and was listening to the Beatles

Nah the song goes
Saturday Night/dance!/I like the way you move
its call Saturday Night and it has a dance that goes with it. Geets called it, thick as bottled shite.

And yet it’s still the best bit of Give My Regards to Broad Street.

 

[DinosaurSenior]

Tom Jones is appearing in my home town next week. So is Shania Twain. Let's go, girls!

 

[People-huv-tae-know]

That possible of old honker at the hustings, she is standing next to a young man that may be SB. If it's him he has shot up height wise. But why would she take him?

I always thought it was “Saturday night and I like the way you move”.
