I’m imagining someone new entering this thread at this point, reading this paragraph and being like: ‘what....the....fuck?!!!’

pot noodles have their place. they are tasty and filling. I had the chow mein one the other day for the first time in years, was a good nostalgia trip. however, stirring peanut butter in is a step too far

you were on the weakest link?! used to love that show, screeching "bank! BANK, you dumbass!" at the telly I'm sure I didn't scream that at you though, dear heart.

used to work with a dude who went on it. made a massive deal out of it. went out in the 2nd round. turned up on coach trip a few years later. has the same name as an extremely famous dead singer

on topic, Jack's a twat

@colouredlines .... you've been on the Weakest Link!!!? I've been re watching the older ones with Ann Robinson. I forgot how savage she was to the contestants...but it's such a great show.

Did she speak to you?

It was a really mad experience, and surprisingly intense. I actually had a Jack moment and mispronounced an answer, and Anne Robinson paused for what felt like eternity before saying, "I'll accept." In my defence, I was 20!

She had a policy of only speaking to contestants when the camera was running, so as not to break character. She was mean about my hairstyle, but I dissed her in my exit interview so let's call it a tie.

There was a very religious American woman on with me whose job involved matchmaking virgins in Essex, so she got the brunt of it.

I would love to see Anne Robinson vs Jack! R Jackie would be on the floor howling in seconds...

I think I would need to ask R Jackie to recite her Lady Di tribute poem (we all know there is one)

We used to do the same on our yard! In the hay barn though so no one could grab you to do more work before you’d finished your lunch! I think I had too many back then so now can’t stomach them.

We probably shouldn’t talk about horses too much in a Jack thread though

Depends upon the context of meeting her. If it were connected to work, it would be the usual smile and professionalism. Socially (God, I hope not), probably a conversation something along the lines of how she spoke to Frostie from Gardeners' World 'Oh, I have some wonderful recipes based around inexpensive ingredients such as potatoes - do you cook at all?'.

I have one. Or had one penned for the funeral.
Am I Jack?

ETA: In my defence I was only 9 when it happened. But then so was Jack!

Hers probably circa 2020, inspired by The Crown

Have to say if I met Jack I’d like to think I’d be a proper bitch.
Would say I wasn’t familiar with her work, then in response to ‘I’m a poverty campaigner’, I’d ask if she did the same sort of thing as Marcus Rashford, and go on about his achievements asking if she was also aware of them.
However I’d probably just say ‘hi’.
Ive had to listen to a lot of self important bullshit in my time, so as my gran would say, I wouldn’t give her many cuttings.
