I was about to put that I don’t know anyone who doesn’t drink, but on reflection I know loads of people, just nobody makes a drama about it nowadays. The only time I notice is when women are in the early stages of pregnancy and not ready to tell anyone but make a massive kerfuffle over their excuse for not drinking- I spot this every time (but keep it in my head).I am grunking so this mug he have already been said but more and more people are either “sober” or just don’t drink these days. I am the same age as jackand at least within my peer group the stock reaction to “I don’t drink” seems to be “ok then”. There’s always going to be the “one won’t hurt” brigade in the same way there’s always going to be the “but bacon” brigade when people say they are vegan. But why is jack so intent on her personality being A THING that she picks at a certain time. She’s the lesbian, the alcoholic, the person with ADHD. Those are not a personality!!! She’d be pitiable if she wasn’t so awful to people.

She’s saying they’re complimentary so that a.) she has something to say/breadcrumbs, and b.) she doesn’t want the squiggles to think she pays for anything expensive. There’s about £30+ worth of hipster drinks in that fridge.
There is no need for this person at all, even if she has/ had fallen of the wagon that is not their place to comment such a vile thing. They need to give their heads a wobble.
That’s awful they haven’t even correctly read her tweet before getting on their high horse, get your facts right you squiggly hole.
Probably quite late at responding to this. I used to work in healthcare in Glasgow. Glasgow has a big cancer care centre for the whole of the west of Scotland and it does fund hotel accommodation for patients who have to travel a long way for treatment, especially for those having daily treatments such as some courses of radiotherapy. We also used to get some patients traveling down from the Highland and islands for treatment and would occasionally arrange one or two nights stay if there were delays with ferries or flights post treatment if it freed up a hospital bed.
Fairly confident this does not apply to the smol pixie's current situation
It's worth mentioning that we're all so shocked and appalled by this head squiggle in part because Jack is so rarely trolled. There are so many other people who get vicious attacks with everything they tweet. That just doesn't usually happen to Jack.
I'm not in any way defending or downplaying head squiggle, who is a nasty little tit, but it just seems extra shocking in the context of a woman whose mentions are usually 99% fawning adoration.

That's why I was so confused. It's a vile response even if it was in sense to something. The fact it isn't is baffling.

It is genuinely the first horrible tweet I’ve seen direct ed at her. I’ve seen a few snarky ones, but she’s in no position to complain about them.
As you can see from this sample, people of the 21st century disliked texture in their food, and likely had few teeth to chew or tastebuds. But they would have made up for it with remarkable digestive systems that not only kept down this food, but passed it through their bowels quickly.
She had £40 worth of T2 tea in those pics of her house. #frugalliving #savingformyforeverhome
I mean if they are complimentary, am I the only one who'd be on my 6th Kombucha of the night after mainlining 5 Yakults?
You would be doing what they do and combining them to make your own mocktail. In seconds thoughts... Maybe not. A milky kombacha.
I've been binge watching one of those hoarders programmes (makes me feel better about my domestic chaos as I can even clean the floor!) and I've seen food from years ago that doesn't look as bad as some of Jack's concoctions.
Honestly. You don’t even wanna know how much of everything I guzzled like a goblin, the last time we stayed at a place with ‘afternoon snacks’ included in the room rate. Think of eating anchoiade in bed, then hoofing a loaf of white bread.... but with teeny tiny sandwiches and random things like marshmallows and dried apricots, in a fancy lounge full of businessmen who probably didn’t pay, so don’t care.
Me: “I should probably eat a handful of Brazil nuts, followed by some tasteless crackers, get our money’s worth!”. My husband pretty much carried on like he didn’t know me
The bake off (or as they call it the Great British Baking Show) is absolutely HUGE in the US. Jack not so much.That makes me laugh as Nadiya is big is the USA. She posted on Insta that her baking book was now published with US measures and the feed was full of literally hundreds of posts saying how excited they were, that they love her shows on Netflix, their children love her, that they'd actually bought scales to use metric measures, and so on. She doesn't change anything about herself for that audience though, still the Asian English Muslim mum of three with a Yorkshire husband and living near her family in Milton Keynes. I don’t even know what brand her fridge is.
Tell us, Jack, how many of your books have been translated for a US audience? I reckon it wouldn't be worthwhile for the publisher given 3K worldwide sales.
I've reported those troll tweets too. There is no need for that kind if below the belt remark. Hopefully Jack won't see them.
I can do the next thread if you like. Would you like a poll? It doesn't have to be a location poll. It could be a fridge or a drinks poll.

Call me heartless but are those tweets any worse than accusing David Walliams of being a racist coke addict?
not condoning, just ignoring.

I drank 30% of a flat bottle of complementary champagne before breakfast (had the rest solo the night before) because no bleeping way was I leaving it in the hotel room. #foodwastechampion

I have a posh friend (just one, you meet them in TV) whose sister has a membership at Shoreditch house. She got us in one summer a couple of years ago and we REAMED the freebies. They have free pick and mix plus sodas and stuff. I shoved loads into my bagHonestly.

they also have a photo booth that's free and we were in there for far too long being silly. God I love amenities. Give me all of the freebies!
Jack will see the tweets when she reads themhere, but they seem to be from some of who is unwell and has got the wrong end of the stick rather than some one trolling her.
