The more I see it, the more I like it!Honestly, the sheep jumper has sent me over the edge. Unfathomable to me that she can sit there bleating (
Demand for that jumper sky rocketed after Emma Corrin wore it in the last series of The Crown. Which I think was released in November right? She did well to get hold of one as a Christmas gift because I remember reading an article from the manufacturers in the run up to Christmas saying that they were sold out and they were now making them available by preorder. Just checked and it's still the case. It's like a six week lead time.
Warm & Wonderful Women's Sheep Sweater (Fitted)
The authentic black sheep jumper worn by Princess Diana, from the designers who made the original. Warm & Wonderful created the original sheep jumper in 1979, and shot to fame when a young Lady Diana Spencer, later Princess of Wales, began wearing it. Joanna Osborne and Sally Muir, who founded...rowingblazers.com
*wonders which of my pals can knit...(I’d commission all black sheep with one white, just to be different!)
So she’s so obsessed with Diana (which I’m sure she’s said in the past though I’m receiptless) she’s wearing a jumper that may be the same or a knock off of one Diana wore? Over 20 years later?
Even by Jack standards, that’s extremely odd.

It is very very strange to plead poverty wearing a £250 jumper. I have never owned a piece of clothing worth that much. Even my wedding dress cost less than that (almost a child bride in the 1990s? completed it mate)
Right?! And for a dowdy old jumper of all things! I wouldn't even spend that much on a coat or a pair of shoes but at least then you could justify that you get a lot of wear out of them.
Do you think she might be working towards a Royal collab of some description? Like a Hal/Megs compassion project? Or a Zoom chat with Kate’n’Wills? Just wondering- pure speculation, for the record.
She might be working towards it, I doubt she'll ever get it.
I wonder what powerful people she's supposed to know? The Illuminati or the person in charge of yellow stickers in ASDA Southend?
If I could easily afford it (she can) I would spend £250 on a NICE jumper. So few of us with white as mayo skin can pull off red.
Her best mate Hazzzzers?
My mum has got Rheumatoid Arthritis which means she’s genuinely immunosuppressed and had the vaccine 2 weeks ago. If Jackie was a genuine case, she’d have been offered it by now.
Incensed by Jack suggesting that people on a budget cheer themselves up with Del Monte, I bought some of it determined to find out that she was a plonker. She may well be a plonker (speculation, obvs 
) however Del Monte mandarins are plumper, if thats important to you, and the juice tastes nicer that the value brand I bought. I still wouldn't pay nearly twice as much for it, and I may lead a quiet life but if I were to be looking for something to cheer myself up, Del Monte fruit wouldn't be it. I got a bit carried away and bought the prunes as well, and the peaches. Same story with the prunes, and will not be surprised to find the same with the peaches. I am not sure I have the stamina to make the peach curry, but I refuse to believe there is still a quality difference once tinned fruit has been through one of Jacks 'recipes'.

He's a whiny little knob head as well, so they probably would get along.
From the previous thread, a quote from the OJ interview:
"As much as I'd like to go jollying off to the mountains in Cyprus to find my ancestors and run around with goats and write a beautiful hardback cookbook [I'll keep going]"
Is that a dig at Nadiya Hussein and her TV programme where she visited her parents' village in Bangladesh and explored her (actual, not several generations away) culinary heritage? Pretty low if it is!

Nailed it.
Interesting thing about Nadiya I hadn't realised, extreme anxiety issues. There's a great programme on her tackling it where she comes across as everything that's been mentioned and more.
Huge contrast to Mackie's "anxiety" cosplay and probably another thing that rinses her beans about N's success!
I took it as her saying - Please, someone, give me a contract to write this book. I did not know about the Nadiya Husssein program, was it good?
I love Nadiya, she is just so likeable. Her enthusiasm is so endearing.
Long may it continue I say! Maybe next time she’s interviewed she’ll be wearing a replica of Princess Diana’s wedding dress, 25 foot long train and all.
Why does it look exactly like Charles is saying “who dat?”?
