Hard agree here.

I see it as being able to be equally disappointing to a significantly greater number of people. Mr D says it means he's twice as lucky, in view of the size of the competition.

He always has had a way with words.

Love the 'leave a book take a book' sign on the bottom of the shelf
This is another promo for World Book Night of which GFFBD has been heavily mentioned in particular giveaways across book clubs etc nationally.
Clearly nobody (3k sales?) has read it once so why would anyone pick it up again?

Mrs ST: Hey, What you up to..wanna watch a film or something?
ST: Oh, I'm just gonna relax and unwind with some slop porn in my jim-jams with a slice of this delicious loofer-brick cake.

FWIW when she was trans and taking testosterone she made a big show of being attracted to men. I think she might have said this on Mumsnet?

Sorry to pick on your post oh fiery one, as there have been others, but I disagree and I'm in the nice-as-pie-to-everyone-in-real-life camp. I don't think she'd say boo to a goose. I think all those 'and then everyone clapped' stories about her shin-kicking/confronting the bigots are just hyped up versions of her muttering under her breath after they're out of earshot, or a bit of pass-agg snappiness at worst. I think she is probably overly grateful and overly sycophantic to everyone involved in any sort of media production. I can't imagine her (despite her shouting on Twitter) properly fronting up. She seems too nervy and insecure to me. Remember the Toff video - she was desperate to be liked by her and far too nervous and uncontrolled to make her points. That's in-person Jack to me. I like that Jack a lot more than Twitter Jack (albeit a low bar), because it seems like it's really her. I think a lot of what sounds like snippiness with Matt on DKL is just her trying to be funny in a piss-taking way, but it comes off snide because she's just so uncomfortable. I think his snippiness was a bit more deliberate. She wanted him to like her. I think she wants everyone to like her.

I agree with @CabalofBolorneaise - she doesn't get invited back because she doesn't make good telly. I would make fucking dire telly, so I sympathise on that front, less so with her seemingly bizarre belief that she should have a telly career despite this. That's the weird entitled side she could really do with damping down.

In all seriousness, I don't know how she had the balls to do DKL after the THAT MAN chaos, how shameful to face all those chefs and people in the industry, knowing they know. I don't even know how she can be a public person after the David Cameron comments that I won't repeat, I would die of shame. And there are so many examples of this behaviour. To blatantly lie and say that her hat was in the ring for Carry on cooking, the show that was CREATED by Jamie Oliver, it would haunt me for life.

I skimmed through the introduction to her Bad Food book. Just drivel, worse than bad YA fiction. Maybe it was put on the list as an April Fool's joke and they forgot to remove it?
One big boring eye roll.

Here...sorry about the link to the Daily Heil though.
Even if one could look beyond her so nonchalantly using a dead child as political leverage, which one really can't, it's the shameless hypocrisy that she seems so incapable of recognising in herself that makes this double awful and cringeworthy.

Plus she stated on a podcast she’d apologized and that should be the end of it

I think she would be vile to everyone on set she considered beneath her, so probably suck up to the Director and anyone else she considered important, and hideous to everyone else. Remember she described herself as "the talent"!

Even back then she was contradicting herself:

2012, tomorrow he’ll watch me pawn the tv and guitar.

2014, I’m wondering how the hell I’ll carry a tv to the pawn shop
