Congratulations to this trio of floofles: @jenny2603 @gracebevsescapingboobs and @SoulRebel for the thread title! 🎉 your prize: a bowl of the curried rice creation. It’s like gravel in a bowl.


Recap of thread #137

  1. Hot Take Jack says those tiktok quesadillas aren’t much cop.
  2. SB drew a ‘floofle’ for her because she’s ‘all tough and stuff’, which was then immortalised into a smol robot thing.
  3. She made some curried rice and a bowl of wonder. Aesthetic for both: jumbled junk on tin.
  4. She was briefly Jack Monroe MBE, before being stripped of the honour.
  5. Joe Biden calmly, gently became president so she hugged her telly.

    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.

    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’ and she ‘didn’t even vote for it’.

    She likes to describe herself as ‘puppyishly honest and naively enthusiastic’

    As of late November 2020, Jack conceded she is not poor, but living to a budget as she is saving for a forever home for her and SB.

    *****

    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 Hausfrausâ„ąïž. 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’.
    • ** NEW ** However, during Lockdown 2 (November 2020), a bubble buddy, ‘buddle’ (BB) came to stay with Jack. BB is pescatarian, cycles 200 miles a week, and works in London. Jack is teaching her to cook, while also using her as a figure of gentle ridicule. She cannot cook, she cannot iron, she cannot clean the television properly, she left the hose out and it got eaten by a fox, and she doesn’t know the difference between wet and dry ingredients.
    • 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.
    [*]
    Use the pink link tab at the top of the thread to find Jack’s Tattle Wiki page, where you will find all episodes of Daily Kitchen Live.

    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.

How can she hug the television, isn't it perched precariously on her mantelpiece? So she had to take it down in order to get her arms around it presumably. Is that the reason Louisa was cleaning the screen, to get off all the layers of make-up from Jack rubbing her face all over it? Why am I even thinking about the mechanics of hugging a television, it didn't bleeping happen did it.

Tell you what, you can have my share! Oh, that makes no sense - much like Jack's recipes. I am feeling very humble at being part of such an esteemed trio.

Recap: Her Veganuary collaboration with Linda McCartney is, as Matt would say, terrible. Jack is being rinsed (like a bean) in the LMcC Instagram comments for her horrible track record of eating low welfare meat and bandwagon jumping. Plus, the food looks like tit.

I just had a look. There ‘seems’ to be many many Tattler like people leaving comments and likes at the critiques. 😉

Apart from all that it's going really well. Looking forward to Veganuary 2021 already.

Stop trying to make floofle happen you absolute weapon.

If I called my dog a floofle to his face he'd roll his eyes at me, and this is coming from someone who regularly exhorts him to do a nice big "poozle woozle" for his mummy.

Thanks @Pocahontas ❀❀❀

It's been nice that Jackie Mendacious has taken a (smol) chaos break lately. I know I've said it before but I really do prefer these threads when she's keeping her trap shut. Or being left off of significant anti-poverty campaign letters. Or being roasted by vegans.

Ah, so much to be thankful for right now.

I watched the inauguration eating toast with plenty of overdraft butter, didn’t howl or hoot once.

Wasn’t the TV balanced on the fireplace?

If she hugged it wouldn’t it unbalance?

The question we should be asking here is;

Who bleeping knows?

Every time we get US Political Jack, it reminds me of this:

There are 328 million people in the USA, and I don't think a single one of them gives a tit.
