Recap of thread #101
Recap of thread #101
- The cooking lessons with her âmysteriousâ bubble buddy continued. First up, Ribolitta and hot and sour soup.
- Mushroom dust? She invented it, fam.
- She has a lot of people on block on Twitter. âChat tit get banned innit.â
- Donât be saying she doesnât stick to her words - she actually sent those chocolate bars, didnât she. Thrifty Shades of Beige recipe cards, you say? What were they again? - they seem to have slipped her mind.
- She showed off her massive fridge. Whereâs the butter, Jack? Only got lard, ainât I, guvnor.
- Her bubble buddy is just a buddy. Good job too cos she doesnât know how to put things away in a fridge, not to Jackâs standards anyway. What a silly buddle. How would she be able to survive without Jack?
- Joe Biden winning the US election had the gall to interrupt lockdown larder. She cracked out a dad joke in retaliation.
- #Saltyjack strikes again.
- She afforded herself a thanks from Marcus Rashford. Cheers mate, I did pave the way for you, didnât I? Enjoy that MBE, WONâT YOU.
- Remembrance Sunday? Forget about that - sheâs got a splinterrrrrr. The Audacity. It turned into a bit of a Sunday saga, to say the least.
- More âuppity blue ticks gone rogueâ. They seem to be popping up like little mushrooms.
- Wood FINGERRR, sheâs the Jack, the Jack with the liarâs touch ... sheâs a massive Bond fan, of course. And everyoneâs getting it wrong!
- Nay matter, she deleted her Bond discourse. Prolly cos she admitted to being a fan on the hellsite.
- The splinter to end all splinters may in fact jeopardise her cooking stint with The Guardian. Thatâs right, Jack. Best get those disclaimers out early.
- The frauen had some fun with Monroe, Jack Monroe.
- Tank Girl appeareth.
- Her and her buddle made a mediocre pizza despite fancy cheese. Sowâs ear, silk purse and all that.
- She trod on some glass agaiiiiiin.

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 ***
Jackâs most oft-used reply to questions on recipe substitutions:
Yes, absolutely x
Some other favourite Jack quotes:
âBabe, sameâ
âI did a chaosâ
âMy maverick brainâ
âMy sad little faceâ
âIâm BUSYâ
âI HOOTED / I am FIZZINGâ
âI laughed up a lungâ
One of Jackâs followers once referred to Tattlers as sad hausfraus and Jack herself has likened us to a cabal. Therefore we have become the Cabal of Hausfrausâąïž. She also recently referred to us as âgossip mavensâ (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 âGrunkaLunkaâ 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 thatâs 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 wonât be the last. *
Jack once sideboard modelled a Vivienne Westwood dress, seeming to infer that itâs what Viv would have wanted (as if she were dead), and then got snippy when corrected otherwise. There may be some âRIP Vivâ jokes (she is, of course, NOT dead)
We sometimes joke about being on Vladimir Putinâs 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 âhorse spunkâ - there may be some horse âspiritâ lasagne jokes.
Her last-uttered line to Matt Tebutt on DKL was: âThank you so Matt much, Mattâ, 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: âNow duck offâ. We sometimes like to use this in our own posts for comedic effect. We are NOT telling other fraus to duck off, simply paying homage to Jackâs own genteel humour.
*Back in the mists of time, one funny frau used a Jimmy Nail âSheâs Lyingâ picture to illustrate their thoughts on one of Jackâs 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 sheâs lying.*
Also:
- She grew up in a 5-bed (mortgaged/owned) house
- She got a ÂŁ4.5k Omega watch for her 21st birthday
- Her dad's a bleeping LANDLORD (an oldy, but a goody)
- Jack and Louisa are no longer in a relationship - in Jackâs words: âShe [Louisa] leftâ.
- 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. âIt just does.â
- 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 Jackâs Tattle Wiki page, which also includes clips of Matt Tebutt muttering âTerrible!â on Daily Kitchen Live, courtesy of @Yel) and @Bookweevil âs hilarious Glossary of Jack.
We are terrible for going off on tangents and using too many gifs, so there is another thread where we donât 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 âthread titleâ, as it makes it easier to search. Just using the number wonât be enough. We also canât have swears in the title, and try to hold off until around p. 40 for your suggestions, if possible. ThankYOU.
