You know what I really want right now frens?


A mooshed banana sandwich on soft soft white bread.
I might just have that. I've had (but not live tweeted) a nasty gastric bug and apparently toast and bananas are really good recovery food. I've been low carbing for weeks and can't cope with the idea of any of my normal food today.

Jack is so utterly bizarre. When does working in Harvester fit into the timeline?

Yeah I’m not sure how we got onto stories of chocolate being inserted into orifices but the stories are getting gross now

To be fair to Jack, I struggle with timelines too, but I've a lot more years to remember. Not everything happens in linear chronological order, lots of things happen at the same time.

As evidence, just read the Jack threads for the past year on Tattle. If all that can happen in a single year, imagine what she can cram into 33.

Feel emboldened to concur now I’m on a mod’s side. Please stop. It’s fucking disgusting and actually a bit triggering.

It is pretty long tbf. Absolutely hilarious. The only food writer to wax lyrical about a harvester. When Jay rayner writes a positive review it makes me desperately want to go and try out the place. When Jack writes one it's not in the least bit aspirational, probably mainly because I've been there umpteen times, normally for convenience, it's one of those chains like wetherspoons and pizza hut : low expectations and you pretty much always know what you're going to get.
Maybe a pizza hut salad bar review is next on the menu for this food writer turned influencer?

Having a clean up on my computer and I forgot I found this Blog article by JM's dad. It's from 2012, right when Jack was claiming full poverty, read the last question/answer. Her timelines just don't add up!!! By Jack's timeline she and SB were homeless and struggling to eat, but by her dad's timeline they were off skating and eating out......

Make it make sense!!!

How did we not manage ‘I can’t even have a chat about salad on Twitter!’ as thread title?

If someone with nails like Percy Thrower on harvest day rocks up to your all-you-can-eat salad bar 'date' with a fancy French manicure, surely you don't have to be the Head of News & Current Affairs to work out what is happening?

I'd be outta there and on my bike before you could say 'split the bill'

I will never forget 'that inexplicable [sic] sweet white loaf of bread with icing, peanuts and almonds that nobody else remembers'.
I know it's been a great mystery to Monroe for a while, but I bet the secret ingredient was sugar. Inexplicable indeed.

I'm puzzled on wtf is 'brown lemonade'. For someone that flies the rainbow flag, she is obsessed with brown!!!

Did you read the comment at the bottom of the article?
What does it mean?

You can get brown lemonade in northern Ireland.

The thing is mods can usually see when something is going in a bad direction. So we often try to nip it in the bud and face the backlash of being called dictators for acting before it gets too bad. But yeah this chocolate bar stuff is probably reached the end of the line
