This is the preview for her GA, in the last 2 days she’s been in two articles, 1 of them is about a made up JM Considering we’re on a thread a day very clearly tattle is not coming up in these!

Is it possible to change keywords at all? Say, to Monroe + ('Grifter' OR 'Cunt'), for example?

 

[LyraBalaqua]

I know what’s coming .........

Short term memory loss.


#sheforgot.

 

[KindaWeird]

That and all the bigging up of her own/her dad's trifle while slagging off the creations of other people. Then when she triumphantly posted her own concoction the proportions were all off, it was all from tins and, as someone here so hilariously observed, "Why does it have a couscous layer?"

Omg the couscous comment has done me in!

 

[ReginaPhalangee]

ugh! all of us who collect the fines on free parking know we shouldn't. this isn't Brand New Information.

I have never heard of this and now have to Google what on earth is going on with monopoly

 

[Blurp]

Backgammon. Completed it mate.

Maybe suggest Mahjong? The real game, not the tile matching solitaire. And then bamboozle her by asking if she played by Hong Kong Rules.

but I have two of my mother's full mahjong sets in the house and would love to play. She tried to teach me but I could never get my head around all the different hands. Bridge with tiles but more complicated.

Not just eggs. RUBBER eggs. She has bought an expensive hen to store RUBBER eggs. This will never make sense.

What? You don’t store your rubber eggs inside your £45 ceramic hen? You absolute animal!

I missed the rubber eggs part! Lol I'm clearly missing a trick here, I've been storing mine all wrong!!

 

[Sideboard Bob]

@Bugger13 and @jenny2603 I think Flytesofancy.co.uk are going to be baffled but delighted with the sudden interest in their rubber egg selection!!

 

[Boyo]

A number of people are tweeting with the hashtag Thunderclap for Carers. Perhaps she will remember it if it trends.

Nothing so far. Just tweeting a load of bollox about Norma Jean (whoever that is hahahaha). Oh founder, where art thou?

 

[Captainmouse]

I don't recall the minimalist claim but my memory isn't that forensic. It sounds like something she'd say
I have found Jack's next dinner set..

That’s awful, she’ll luv it!

 

[Boyo]

Little afternoon Grunk.

I've got Alanis Morissette in my head

'It's like a butter dishhhhh, without any butter...'

Oh this? It's just a butter dish. Oh but I can't afford butter to go IN it. It's purely decorative. What? Why are you looking at me like that? Fuck off! I'm poor! *Violently shakes tip jar*

I’m sure she’ll have ordered a rubber butter block for it.

 

[Captainmouse]

The rug is stressing me out a bit. You wouldn't be able to hoover it as the rags would wrap around the brush and break it. It's too big to take outside and beat. You couldn't sweep it. You couldn't scrub it. It's too big for the washing machine. How the hell do you clean it?!

You don’t, much like her nails

A golden egg laying fish?

 

[CabalofBolorneaise]

Oh no. In discussing her origin story (which they genuinely keep referring to as her origin story) she said she knows the exact date her blog took off (I think she giggle-mentioned something about autism but the audio quality is abysmal) and then reveals she knows the specific date of her son's conception It's 2pm 4th July 2009 by the way.

Sorry but if I know this, you have to know this too. It's only fair.

I think on one of the versions she mentioned, SB was conceived the one and only time ahem “it” happened between her and his dad so she may well know the exact date from that. No judgement if it’s true, but I know she’s told several versions so I’m not sure.

 

[Limey]

That was the only thing I didn't like either. Definitely don't want my bedroom smelling like

That nook with the log burner would be my favourite reading corner. And by reading corner I obviously mean Tattling corner.

The open plan bedroom/bathroom freaked me out.

The guy was so hardworking. Loved how he also built a house for his mum and stepdad. They just all seemed like really decent people, I was rooting for them.

That's a Kitchen Aid attachment I haven't seen on TV recently. Is it for drying Thunderflaps?

 

[Captainmouse]

Those jars are dirrrrty! Why not wash them before you take a picture?!

Why not just wash them full stop?

 

[Whaa?]

I made carrot soup for tea (with onions, lentils, cumin, chilli and milk).
I think she’s spent more time thinking of the name than that non- recipe.

I'm fairly sure at this point, someone could write out one of her own recipes from an old book and she wouldn't notice

She would remember the name of one of her old recipes and the story attached. The ingredients, not so much.

 

[MooBelle]

Oh yeah it’s thunderclap night , totally forgot about that

tbf, so has Jack

What in the world... You'd think Legal Jack would be more worried about liability claims, civil actions of negligence.

 

[Captainmouse]

The rubber eggs once cooked probably taste better then the slop she makes.

You’d get a bit of texture
