@Alansbigplate does have a good point but that would..wow...top many things...maybe they did split up for a while and got together... but JM's tone was so what appeared to be genuinely negative towards her...
And would Brexit tin ham'burg**r' marry someone who has not opened brown envelopes (with advertising) for many years?

The mind boggles...

ETA for adding ** and also to remind the coven to get the hats out (again) ...or did the wedding happen already???

All the ridiculous 'friend' and 'bubble buddy' stuff I mean really! Works both ways, LC doesn't want to be involved in Jack's amateur dramatics all over Twitter and Jack doesn't want loaded telly exec LC ruining her pov rep!
I can’t get my head around it! If that‘s really what’s going on, in the nicest possible way, the two of them need to get over themselves. If they’re happily together, the people that matter to them will be happy for them, who care what anyone else thinks you know?

Grunking so apologies for where this may land or if it’s been said.
Is that picture behind her by the AMAM card, the baby pic....is that her? The pic she tweeted. If so, peak Narc.

Her nose has changed shape, I felt bad saying it a few months ago but it’s definitely not like it was and I don’t know why. It may just be age, they do grow a bit in the 30s, them and ears.

If it's not what's going on, we're expected to believe that LC moved out, then quickly moved back in again but as a friend who sends her 'wife' cards and doesn't pay anything towards the rent 🤣

Something was bothering me whilst I caught up on her pity party birthday mopeathon and it just clicked.

Jack very clearly stated that she's turning 33 and the reason 33 rang a bell with me is because that is the same age as Sarah, it's been in print hundreds of times over the last week.

I might be way off the mark here but if I was turning 33 and I'd spent the weekend shoehorning myself into other people's grief I would, at the very least, have expressed some sadness for the poor woman or gratitude for my different circumstances.

Maybe I'm being unreasonable?

I'm guessing the secret ingredient might be hand produced with this Greek gent's help.

The...thighs...were upside down?

The. Thighs.

The THIGHS?
Absolute travesty. I hope the man from Del Monte is a horrible person because nobody deserves that absolute horror of a promo. Its as though it's her last day with a really bad employer and she's getting rewenge.
Also... If they are selling gm pineapple for fifty quid then they too have jumped the shark.

Offtopic of jack, but on topic of del Monte and pineapples..

Is anyone else weirdly interested in their bioengineered pink pineapple that comes in a gift box with a certificate of authenticity for 49 bucks? 🤣

The man from del Monte isn't doing a great job of selling it on the socials; saying it's tastes like normal pineapple but a bit sweeter. Well that justifies the premium. So it's people buying to take photos for social media then? Either that or a wedding gift.

Pinkglow pineapple del Monte
Catching up as been doing other things, pandering to the more money than sense brigade? Can see JM buying a few (but not to be reported on SM)

I think 'wife' is just an expression rather than an actual state. There is no way her royal sloppiness would marry in secret. She absolutely wants the big princess wedding. 100%

I think they're both a pathetic, deceitful pair. They probably did split for a little while, but got back together on the low down from twitter. Neither of them are very good at hiding it though!

Jack’s tragic birthday present lay out is even more cringey than the live- I have never seen someone on Twitter do that, save it for your mates on Facebook (and your 9th birthday)

Jack does look more like Mary Poppins than the impersonator woman.

As Jack is a fan of huge glasses, I am shocked and dismayed she never got these Timmy Mallett specials for the live.

I am early hours grunking because I have terrible teeth. I'm on strong drugs so while I'm under the influence I just want to say 'I love you guys'
I'm picturing the Mel donte office.

There's a plucky young intern, she can't get anyone to take her seriously (possibly rebel Wilson, still to be decided) .

She's taken under the wing of a high flying ad executive who has lived and breathed Mel donte for 40 years (meryl streep) .

Plucky young intern tells the jaded mentor she's heard about this woman who is a wife, mother, sister, norn Irish Greek cypriot activist, food writer and presenter.

plucky young intern tells the poverty story while the jaded ad exec stifles a yawn and picks lint off her clothes (to burn later)
As plucky young intern reaches the end of her monologue she utters the fateful words 'and get this mate, not only does she tick all the boxes, but she has written a book about cooking with Tinned food and most of what she makes is out of a can, she'd be perfect to run a collab with!'

Jaded ad exec's eyes flash for a millisecond (camera zooms in to catch this micro, nay, meeekro moment)
Jaded ad exec quickly regains her composure and tells the intern 'nice idea mate but not for us, you're bottom of the (Tinned) food chain, leave the collab ideas to me. Now go and get me a triple fried sticky chicken latte and remember if anyone asks you it's vegan'

Plucky young intern is downcast, eyes to the floor, shoulders slumped. Hiding the tears in her eyes she makes her way to the quirky coffee shop where the handsome widower owner gives her a shoulder to cry on. (sub plot: the cafe owner is a gadzillionaire and is truly in love with our plucky young heroine)

Plucky young intern takes a deep breath, puts on her big girl pants and makes her way back to Mel Donte Towers.

Cut to: marketing think tank meeting around a huge table, hipsters as far as the eye can see.

The editor 'I'm sick of all your bull ideas, regurgitated this, spat up that, gimme something new, come on people, I need IDEAS!!!'

Plucky young intern looks at her mentor, she silently asks a question with her big innocent eyes. Ad exec makes an almost imperceptible movement as if to say 'don't even go there sister'.
Plucky young intern knows where she is in the food chain and keeps quiet.
The rest of the team around the table are silent. They know if they don't pull something new out of the can, one of them will be canned.
It's a tense moment.
Suddenly ad exec exclaims, 'EUREKA!' (It's a Greek word, did I mention that this film is also a bit about hilarious Greek families?)
Ad exec slaps the table, everyone jumps.
'by jove! I think I've got it!'

Everyone turns to face ad exec as she tells an amazing story about a brave woman who through no fault of her own found herself living on the breadline, all alone with smol boy and 'tit poor' .
'But wait, it doesn't end there, she's also a wife, mother, sister , norn Irish Greek cypriot activist, food writer and presenter. AND! and! get this mate, not only does she tick all the boxes, but she has written a book about cooking with Tinned food and most of what she makes is out of a can, she'd be perfect to run a collab with!'

The room is stunned. You can hear a pin drop. The atmosphere is electric, everyone is wooping and fizzing, the air is thick with hooting.
They all get up to congratulate the ad exec. She's beaming, and everyone is relieved, no heads are gonna roll today.
Nobody notices baby in the corner, our plucky young intern silently weeping.

Cut to the next scene :
It's nine months later. Back in the marketing think tank meeting, all around the table again.
'Here we go everyone the moment we've been waiting for'
Plucky young intern tops up everyone's drink with fruit sugar water and they all toast the jaded ad exec and drink straight from the can.

On the wall in front is a giant projection of the collaboration with the poverty actor Queen of Hearts.
The video plays.
The room is eerily silent. Ad exec looks around at her colleagues to guage their reaction. Her hands start to shake.
She makes eye contact with her editor who silently mouths the words 'this is not good. Not good at all'. The editor then uses her finger across her neck to make the international sign of the throat being cut.

The plucky young intern has her hands over her face but peeks out between her fingers just in time to see Ad exec's face is white.

Cut to scene:
Ad exec is packing a box and snot crying huge jagged sobs. She is moaning and wailing. muttering about her second home and the down payment on a flashy car. 'what am I going to do now? I was already in debt, this is going to clear me out'. The security guards entertainer her wailing, from the building.

Plucky young intern can't bear to see ad exec take the flack for her bad idea.

She watches guiltily as ad exec is taken, howling from the building.
She goes to the quirky coffee shop and the secret gadzillionaire owner listens as she pours her beautiful heart out.
'what can I do to make it right?'
The secret gadzillionaire coffee shop owner stares deeeep into her endless eyes. He has never loved her more than this moment
'listen to your heart daphne. All the answers are deeeep within us'

Daphne stares at him, she's shot through the heart by cupids arrow. They are in love.
She doesn't want to leave him but she knows she has important work to do. 'I'll deal with you later' she winks lasciviously.

Back in the office, plucky young intern is with the editor '.... So you see, it was my idea all along. If anyone needs to be canned it's me'.
The editor is blown away by both her beauty and her honesty.
'OK daphne, I'm doing this for you. Nobody else. You have an amazing career ahead of you. Never lose your pluck, honesty or beauty'.

Cut to new scene. It's two years later
Plucky young intern is playing with two babies, they look like cherubs. She is talking on the phone at the same time and looks amazing, really polished, well dressed, professional but understated make up.

Handsome quirky coffee shop guy is behind her, stroking her neck lovingly while he gazes at her with their babies. The perfect mom, and wife. Camera zooms in to her left hand. For a minute we are bedazzled by the diamond, it's huge but understated, tasteful.
There's a knock on the door, the door opens and as it does we we see a sign on the door: daphne, advertising executive.

In the door comes her old jaded mentor. She looks a bit sad, down on her luck, chicken grease on her denim shirt. She hands daphne a can of sugary fruit juice.
Daphne speaks into her phone 'excuse me, I have to go. My INTERN is here with my drink.'

Daphne smiles fondly at the ad exec. Ad exec smiles back. 'I'll never forget how good you've been to me after I stole your idea and it backfired terribly leaving me broke and friendless'
Daphne looked out from under her princess Diana fringe (bangs).
'the woman from Mel Donte, she say, no man is an island. we're your friends now '

The camera pans out to show that the office is no longer in the busy streets of downtown manhattan but is actually on a tropical island.
Quirky coffee shop gadzillionaire owner bought the company for his one true love, daphne, and moved them to the tropical island where they can the fruit at source.
Mel Donte has gone from strength to strength.

The employees are treated so fairly there that they've become a business model for all corporations and daphne travels the world with her babies teaching big business men like Alan sugar how to care for their employees *especially* their interns.

The final scene is a huge corporate event, everyone is cheering and clapping and crying for beautiful daphne and her gunk and spirit.
jaded ad exec walks on to the stage, they hold hands and bow.

Cue calypso music.

Closing Credits roll.
There are some hilarious outtakes

The End
