For shrinking the size of Monster Munch and shrinkflation generally.

Also the existence of belly button fluff

What do you blame her for?

And now JKR has made the electrician ignore my text asking him what time he's coming! Maybe she's diverted it via owl post...

They are new. Obviously I don't know how exceedingly nice they taste as JKR didn't even let me try a bite of one.

WHAT TRAVESTY IS THIS?

Thank you for this update. I feel much better now. I had been blaming myself for COVID as I took out annual travel insurance in November 2019 (the only time I ever did that), and had believed that must have triggered the global pandemic.

Now I can see clearly that JKR made me do that to set me up for it...

I'm also actually glad to hear that. I thought I'd caused covid because I was complaining about missing not one but two County shows because I was going to be on holiday in the wrong parts of the country (in Anglesey for the Pembrokeshire show then in Pembrokeshire for the Anglesey show!). Of course covid rocked up and they both got cancelled. I was all 'careful what you wish for' and full of guilt. I should have realised it was JKRs fault. A weight has been lifted. She could have said something 😠

As someone known to eat a whole packet in one go blame JKR for the disappearance of a packet of Jaffa Cakes, I demand to know what Hot Honey Jaffa Cakes are, I haven’t ever heard of them!

I've never heard of Hot Honey Jaffa Cakes either, but the Wisdom of Age tells me NOT to google 'hot honey'....😱

I blame JKRowling for there being no limoncello in Lidl today as advertised.

She obviously drank it all with the whiskey.

She’s jinxed our water supply. It’s not the drought, oh no. Neither is it my idiot neighbour who doesn’t understand that leaving a hosepipe running for hours because of her precious plants means that for the past two days neither she nor anyone else can flush their toilets.

To be fair she did you a favour. Unfortunately she's arranged for 200 bottles of the ghastly stuff to be delivered to mine.

A travesty caused by JKR, that’s what!

MyrtleLion · 04/09/2025 14:25

I’ve just realised that my window cleaner was supposed to come last Thursday and hasn’t been. Probably because he’s on holiday, but definitely because JKR made him go, made me forget he was supposed to be coming, made me remember he hasn’t been, AND made me annoyed about it, even though I don’t really care that much.

It’s probably her fault that I don’t care about the cleanliness of my windows.

It's JKR'S fault I forgot to label the pies DP made when I put them in the freezer so he's getting pie surprise for dinner.

ParmaVioletTea · 04/09/2025 14:40

I blame her for my messy house because I'm reading her latest book and not doing what I should be doing.

Mixture of sweet and savory?

Luckily they're all savoury. I think....

Not my problem, I'm having fish.

I blame JKR for my wiry hairs on my jawline. Until she jumped into things with her “dress however you please” tweet, I had never had a single jawline hair.

Enough4me · 05/09/2025 08:17

My skin has been oily recently, it's obviously not perimenopause as JKR is at large. Thinking of contacting a newspaper or the police due to a hate crime taking place, or my rights not being met, or in what other way can I blame her..?
Please don't remind me of her charitable work as it's not for drag artists.

A wise move. I once needed some rubble to backfill uneven ground - a fraction of a moment after I hit 'search' I knew that googling "hard core" was a VERY bad move... <refills mind bleach bottle>

I seem to remember Linda Snell in The Archers naively researching pantomimes. Babes in the Wood or something.

lcakethereforeIam · 05/09/2025 10:09

I used to like the band 'Bare Naked Ladies', I could never get information on new records or tours. I didn't dare. It's a wonder anyone showed up. Many women wouldn't dare to look, most blokes would forget what they were looking for.

I wonder if they're still going? <doesn't Google>

FortuneFaded · 04/09/2025 11:06

Awful. Just wait to see what she has planned for your herbaceous border.

I hadn't thought about WHY my oregano had bolted but now I'm suspicious. And my lavender's not flowered either...

LEAVE MY PLANTS ALONE, WOMAN.

I remember that! Quite the education for her I should think Grin

This goes deeper than a few oregano and lavender plants - not only has JKR withered your plants, Otter - you know the iconic trees in Game of Thrones, which are actually in Co. Armagh in Ireland? well...
The Dark Hedges, made famous by Game of Thrones, are dying
‘We cannot save these trees’: The Dark Hedges, made famous by Game of Thrones, are dying – The Irish Times

They are dying supposedly because they were planted 250 years ago and have 'come to the end of their natural life'...

Yeah right! We know who is killing them, and why - what is the other hugely-successful and profitable fantasy franchise apart from Harry Potter... yes, Game of Thrones. <taps side of nose>

I blame JKRowling

Our boiler broke this morning. I think we all know who is responsible.

She is also accountable for us not booking a service for about 5 years.

Boiledbeetle · 05/09/2025 13:04

I'm struggling today to find anything I can blame JKR for.

She is 100% to blame for that.

Boiledbeetle · 05/09/2025 13:30

Just been in the kitchen and JKR is to blame for the sodding fruit fly invasion that seems to be happening at the moment.

Leave me and my apple cores alone you annoying little flies.
