Congratulations to @kachoochoo for the centennial thread title! 68 reactions 🎉
Vlad bless these threads and all who sail in her. We are now one hundred. Kombusky all round (but not for Jack, she’s underage).


Recap of thread #99

  1. Not content with being Southend’s political correspondent, she also provided forensic commentary (translation: guff) on US election night. Sit the fuck down, Cooper, she needs to see Nebraska!
  2. This included claims she watched her own c-section as a prize for spending 30 hours of childbirth in silence.
  3. #JackMonroeslockdownlarderbyJackMonroetheoneandonlyJackMonroewhodoeslockdownlarders is back with a whimper. She’s providing a service in these trying times, so um, send in your queries - but not too many cos she’s BUSY on a train (that’s gross, Jack).
  4. Jack’s Top Tips: Soup, curry, stew, Google’s not for you, get your curry sloppy and make sure the stew is brewed. Also - any herb will do.
  5. Her lip-bustingly large grapes have possibly been been triangulated to ... <whispers> Ocado.
  6. The first rule of being one of her patrons, is You Don’t Talk About Not Receiving Goods That You’ve Paid For Through Patreon. She’s doing everything by herself, ok? Cut her some slack, she’s only 12, as is evident from recent photographs of her.
  7. Looks like her dinosaur nap ran overtime - she was late to her own lockdown larder. Jack, Jack, what do I do with a couple kilos of potatoes? Oh, mate. Don’t set her off, we’ll be here all night.
  8. Lockdown larder isn’t doing any favours for her follower numbers.
  9. Jackbot 2020 overheated and spouted a lot of nonsense #sowhatelseisnew
  10. She blamed her Mediterranean arse.
  11. She’s changed her name. Oh, Attention! You are a tricky mistress and Jack cannot conquer you.
  12. Full Meta Tattle. Novak Nail.
  13. She had a pop at Theresa May then Trump.
  14. More thoughts on the US presidential election. Much forensics. Many embarrassment.
  15. She’s written out the lockdown rules. For the love of liver, Jack, what about your damn Thrifty Shades of Beige postcards?!
  16. Nope, who cares about that? Not her, she’s writing out her nearest and dearests’ schedules and posting it on Twitter, as anyone worried about safety and security would.
  17. Aaaaaand, while she’s on a roll with practising her handwriting, she’s going to show everyone how hard her finger is on the pulse of the US election.
  18. Her recent follows have helped this newest branch of her forensic interest.
  19. [*]
    For new joiners to the thread, here is @Passive_Aggressive_Lemon ‘s ‘Jack for Dummies’ post (edited to include updated info):

    Thought it might be useful for new followers to have a post at the start of each thread with some info.
    Limegoss article about Jack versus Jamie Oliver : https://limegoss.com/jack-monroe-jamie-oliver/

    Thread #31 is the infamous one in which Jack turns up to talk to us directly. She makes her appearance on p. 17.

    For anyone wanting to relive the glory days of her two-week stint on Daily Kitchen Live (DKL), have a grunk a through threads 2-9.

    *** JACKISMS ***

    Jack’s most oft-used reply to questions on recipe substitutions:

    Yes, absolutely x

    Some other favourite Jack quotes:

    ‘Babe, same’

    ‘I did a chaos’

    ‘My maverick brain’

    ‘My sad little face’

    ‘I’m BUSY’

    ‘I HOOTED / I am FIZZING’

    ‘I laughed up a lung’

    One of Jack’s followers once referred to Tattlers as sad hausfraus and Jack herself has likened us to a cabal. Therefore we have become the Cabal of Hausfraus™️. She also recently referred to us as ‘gossip mavens’ (so, we are gossip trusted experts). ** Recent additions to her terms of endearment for Tattle: conspiracy wankers, obsessive groups of completely unhinged bullies, bullying ninnies, and malign, vicious bullies **

    To ‘GrunkaLunka’ your way through a thread means to catch up on posts. Named after a member who rather epically caught up on many threads in a short period of time (and is also a fearless pioneer of the space-time continuum. She really was here both Now and Then).

    Jack once threatened to use her Liam Neeson skills to TRIANGULATE our whereabouts in order to intimidate us, so that’s what we mean by that. * She may also threaten to take us to court - do not be afraid, this is not the first time and it won’t be the last. *

    Jack once sideboard modelled a Vivienne Westwood dress, seeming to infer that it’s what Viv would have wanted (as if she were dead), and then got snippy when corrected otherwise. There may be some ‘RIP Viv’ jokes (she is, of course, NOT dead)

    We sometimes joke about being on Vladimir Putin’s bitcoin payroll list for being evil trolls.

    During her stint on Daily Kitchen Live, Jack produced a godawful looking lasagne, with a thin white sauce that never thickened up, just disappeared. It was widely likened to ‘horse spunk’ - there may be some horse ‘spirit’ lasagne jokes.

    Her last-uttered line to Matt Tebutt on DKL was: ‘Thank you so Matt much, Matt’, which made us all HOOT.

    Jack ended a tweet that listed her (not unimpressive) four-and-a-half GCSE results (A*, A, B, B, C) with: ‘Now fuck off’. We sometimes like to use this in our own posts for comedic effect. We are NOT telling other fraus to fuck off, simply paying homage to Jack’s own genteel humour.

    *Back in the mists of time, one funny frau used a Jimmy Nail ‘She’s Lying’ picture to illustrate their thoughts on one of Jack’s latest tales. @Alpha Beta thought it was Novak Djokovic, the cabal hooted and Novak Nail was born. You may see reference to Jimmy Nail, Novak Djokovic, or the combination of both: Novak Nail. All demonstrate that she’s lying.*

    Also:
    • She grew up in a 5-bed (mortgaged/owned) house
    • She got a £4.5k Omega watch for her 21st birthday
    • Her dad's a fucking LANDLORD (an oldy, but a goody)
    • Jack and Louisa are no longer in a relationship - in Jack’s words: ‘She [Louisa] left’.
    • Her record for staying off Twitter since the start of these threads is 114 hours and 47 minutes.
    • She is 90% vegan. The other 10% likes to nom nom on Five Guys burger and discounted chicken slices.
    • During her appearance on DKL, she was asked why some mince has a higher fat content. ‘It just does.’
    • The information held on her by Companies House has her year of birth WRONG. She was born in 1988, not 1978.
    [*][*][*]
    Here is a link to Jack’s Tattle Wiki page, which also includes clips of Matt Tebutt muttering ‘Terrible!’ on Daily Kitchen Live, courtesy of @Yel) and @Bookweevil ‘s hilarious Glossary of Jack.

    We are terrible for going off on tangents and using too many gifs, so there is another thread where we don’t discuss JM but instead talk about biscuits and stuff. For good light relief when JM is doing too much chaos, come to the Food & Drink threads in Off Topic.

    • Lastly, but importantly, when submitting ideas for the next thread title, please use the words ‘thread title’, as it makes it easier to search. Just using the number won’t be enough. We also can’t have swears in the title, and try to hold off until around p. 40 for your suggestions, if possible. ThankYOU.
    [*][*][*][*]
    Special mention to @Veronicaaa for the suggestion of: I got 99 threads but the bitch ain’t done (it was very close and deserves a mention 😂❤)

Letdown larder was so boring she’s started searching her name. View attachment 300610View attachment 300611

Whiplash. Whoosh.
So she is implying she is trans. What exactly has she, or is she, transitioning from to? Transitioning infers going from one state to another. She says that she transitioned from female to non binary, but has since referred to herself on many occasions as a woman. That then denotes that she has de transitioned back to her former gender. She calls herself a lesbian, you cannot be a lesbian unless you are a woman, it is the very definition of lesbian. So therefore she has reverted to her previous gender, de transitioned.

It is all too much even for me to understand, and I have spent all my adult life since the 60's involved in LGBT+issues. She makes a mockery of gender non-conformity and gender dysphoria. It is all a dress up game to her. Putting a dress on one day and a shirt on the next does not make you non binary. I know many women that wear traditionally male gendered clothing, but they still define themselves as women. Likewise men that wear womens clothes. Gender is not a dress up game. I hate her for it as she gives right wing bigots the ammunition to attack LGBT+ people.

I haven't expressed myself well in this post, but she makes me so angry I find it difficult to put into words. She is dangerous to the very community she pretends to be a part of.

Bonjour, frauen. I have been a severe lurker for a few months. I was never a squiggle, but what I initially thought were Jack's causes are close to my heart (long time foodbank volunteer, first time to triangle opp) so I got drawn in to it all.
Somewhere along the line I stumbled on the magical Tattle, became thoroughly annoyed with Jackie and then I got involved in the shopping trolley debacle (I will say no more) trying to get Jack to Do The Right Thing.

I started a new job on the first day of March lockdown and I've missed the camaraderie of my old workplace. These threads, with all the terminology, myth, legend and frankly terrifying gif work, are giving me a little bit of it back that I can dip into on these sometimes very isolating days.

I don't have Twitter so I'm probably going to be on a permanent Grunka forever. You have my utter dependance, its all I can offer.

Just a quick shout out to @MooBelle who is Grunka-ing like a feckin' Trojan!
Cheers mate! Been on self imposed internet exile since September. The noise was just too much for me and i could feel myself slipping down dark hole. Deleted all apps and waved a temporary b'bye to my beloved Cabal.
I logged on to my Twitter earlier this week and saw that a friend had retweeted that bloody awful egg/anchovy monstrosity and knew that you would all be in hysterics over it.
Now on epic Grunkal and am feeling thoroughly cheered up by my fellow Fraus.
I've missed you xxxx

I’m sure our Jackie will get her shout out once Marcus discovers the joys of Letdown Larder
If she keeps posting those highly edited photos, MR might get tricked into giving a shout out to 12 year old Jack from Southend: a lovely young lad who spends an hour after school offering recipe advice

I couldn’t do a full grunk of yesterday’s Cack-fest, but luckily did see the list of stupidity. Thankyou, Jack, for supplying us with pure gold for the 100th thread. (Had to defy autocarrot to write that)

What THE fuck.

Support bubbles don’t crisscross in every possible direction you absolute fucking moron!

My mum has bubbled with her MIL, because that’s the right thing to do, and that means I can’t bubble with my mum and stepdad. I work from home and have a husband, therefore I don’t NEED childcare. I WANT childcare, but I don’t need it. Therefore, I won’t be having it. My kids will see my mum during dog walks to a park within waking distance of our two houses. No cuddles, which they’re old enough to understand the reason behind. That’s that.

Why isn’t her dad supporting her mum??? I thought he was retired?

We have formed a support bubble with a person who has zero childcare options, and is a genuinely lone parent. Key thing is though, that our kids are in the same class, so any chance of infection is IMO the same as them going to school together every day. That person has no other support bubble. Otherwise I wouldn’t do it, because again you’re stretching the potential rate of spread. Which is the whole point of this bastarding lockdown.

And another thing!!! Re the US election, Jack, we don’t need your 0.5 of a GCSE knowledge of the swing states and flipped states, thanks. Anyone interested can access this information online. Anyone who has a “forensic political knowledge” won’t need to write down Michigan or Wisconsin in big stupid letters with highlighter. I managed to have a conversation about them yesterday without having written it all down like a teenager.

Your bubble is bullshit. Get a forensic knowledge of how viruses spread will you, you fucking twerp!!

Oh, and may I please ask the ladies and gentleman of the jury (I still have court hope), to strike any sympathy I had for Louisa off the record. Stupid is as stupid does. Mug.

Despite being new to comment here, I’ve been reading along from nearly the beginning of these threads and I’d like to also pipe in to agree with the above - the wit, wisdom and love shown by the canal really kept me going through the first lockdown and now I’m contributing, I’m sure it will again this time. Happy 100th all. Now, I think confirmation of Louisa’s return explains a few things.
1. Why she got a skip in to tidy the house
2. Why Louisa has been to the house most weekends over past six weeks
3. Why jack has been happier over the past week and didn’t have a major full moon meltdown this month
4. Why she has been hinting and mentioning babies so often
5. Why she has been hinting at more and more things to do with news cycles or politics, they’ve obvs been chatting lots.
I wonder if we’ll see less patreon begging now she has two incomes again to pay for the shitty bungalow?
Wish I had handwritten this list, taken a photo to show you all and stuck it to the fridge, but I’m BUSY

Nice to see that she's using non-recyclable padded envelopes after her Climate Change rant. The worst kind of hypocrite.

Blend it all up and bung some curry powder in x. Don't forget you can make yourself a hat from the Fray Bentos tin, bit of tinsel will have it nice and festive x
I can't do curry, I am very, very allergic. A lady doctor told me whilst I was doing a selfie lying on a hospital bed.

I howled and clawed at the floor "but doctor" I said, "I follow Jack Monroe on Twitter, I will no longer be able to make her recipes." She took me to one side and said in a quiet and restrained manner, her voice filled with soft soft softest emotion but with a twist of forcefulness, "Be thankful for small mercies lad" she said "your allergy has saved you from a lifetime of disappointment"
