Recap of thread #104

  1. She feels less stressed out now she’s not being rigid about spending exactly £20 on Sundays (tired of that lark, amiright?).
  2. She doesn’t watch Strictly but was ‘raging’ that Nicola Adams had to pull out. No need to go full metal Jack - it was to self isolate due to her dance partner testing positive for Covid.
  3. @colouredlines made a Jackellany Jacktionary Jackopedia, just in case you ever a spot a Jack out in the wild and need to identify exactly which type you’re dealing with.
  4. Jack says: ‘I’m a big fan of the accidental kisses on tweets and I don’t care how basic it makes me look tbh x.’
  5. She promoted The Unwritten and asked them for a job, while also reminding them that she was in on the concept.
  6. She finally realised Dominic Cummings had left No. 10.
  7. She was contacted by someone re: some sausages, but to quote @Harrybosch, the account may be ‘less kosher than Jack’s sausages’.
  8. She put her cutting political commentary hat on and joked about Trump and Cummings.
  9. She counts herself among the Excluded.
  10. Wedge up Jack is popping to the shop again. Such kindness.
  11. Jack is the ‘kindest person on Twitter’. ‘Thankyou xxx’. Oh, stop. No, you stop. Stop.
  12. She thinks Boris Johnson’s brother is ok because he’s ‘immaculately turned out and very polite’. He’s got such good values.
  13. More treats out of that pesky November food budget. They just ‘fell into the trolley’. This happens a lot to people on a strict budget.
  14. She’s taken it upon herself to be a Monster Munch martyr. She basked in the flattery.
  15. Such an environmentalist.
  16. Oh, pleeeaaase let her do a publishing quote?
  17. The cooking lessons with buddle continued, plus more sanctioned nitpicking. They were ~both~ in hysterics enough for her pick up her phone and film it, but she won’t post it because she doesn’t want to ... identify her and she ... respects her privacy.
  18. Mince pie doughnuts gave her absolute GLEE. She was ‘honestly unbearably pleased with herself’. No tit.
  19. She invented them, fam.

    Thought it might be useful for new followers to have a post at the start of each thread with some info.

    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’
    **New**
    ‘Literally hella embarrassed AF’ about ‘Brexit and flip-flopping Covid flippancy my and she ‘didn’t even vote for it’
    She likes to describe herself as ‘puppyishly honest and naively enthusiastic’

    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 duck off’. 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 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 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 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.
    • She recently claimed she found her Burberry scarf in a muddy puddle.

    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.

Thankyou without space for voting for me, this is internet fame in its purest form!! Thanks @IGisntreal for the nomination and everyone who voted and all the lovely Frauen and Herren who cheer me up every day. Just made a video of me being overjoyed but not sharing it. You will all have a single squashed Lion bar in your letterbox or front door by the end of next week. Promise. I am really nice.
And thanks, @Pocahontas for the summary of which I always think that this is the funniest one but then there is always the upcoming edition!

I don’t read these threads any more because quite honestly she sent me over the edge with ouchymouth (the original one not the subsequent cover versions). But I always read the summaries as I’m tagged in the spoiler.

@Pocahontas you make me HOOT each and every time. You are a national treasure and should be rewarded with at the very least an MBE if not a damehood for services to tattlers. Now duck off x

The more she swears her first-time recipe attempts are amazing, the more she swears that things are unbearably delicious, the more undoubtedly sure I am that she is lying. Can we hear from somebody else - not Jack - about how this food all tastes?

PS, is there any update from the beanjuice meringue (wtaf) squiggle? Is this yet more proof that Jack Monroe recipes are a pile of shite and unless you hit a fluke they just don't work?
