For this thread title we must thank @Hollaaa for the words and @DrtCrl for the nomination, even if it was illegally early in the last thread. Congratulations, your prize is a year's supply of Mel Donte Sitrus Calad!

In the previous thread:

-we continued our internal chaos and tested some more Jack recipes
- @Hollaaa made white bean, spinach and garlic soup, the results of which you can see here
- @Orphan_Black made slow cooker bread, the results of which you can see here
-I made headrush spaghetti, the results of which you can see here

-Jack reappeared to show us her new fringe that she claims to have meticulously cut by herself using embroidery scissors despite it looking suspiciously professional and as we all know, Jack has never done a professional thing in her life

-Jack has partnered with Octopus Energy to help young people understand electricity bills, still hasn't shown any support for the Full Time Meals campaign

-Del Monte have announced a competition to win a year's worth of tinned peaches which has kicked off the cabal campaign #peachesforpoca. It also comes with a bundle of Jack's books, though which books and how many, nobody knows. Unsurprisingly, we do not have a campaign for the books.

Please use the words ‘thread title’ (two separate words) when making a bid for one as it makes it easier to search. Also, try to hold off to the latter part of the thread if possible (after post #500). And remember - no swears are allowed.

There is a thread in the off topic forum called Food and Drink where off topic chat is encouraged if / when Jack is quiet.

I nearly took one for the team today and was going to make the upside down pineapple chicken. But then it started raining so didn't want to walk to tescos - and also had a word with myself, me and mr C are on a weight loss plan at the mo where we are dieting during the week and eating what we want at weekends (it's working really well!) So I decided sad food would not go down well and ate some cheese and crackers instead. Much better!

You've got to buy the chicken from the corner shop just before you make the recipe. Ideally, five minutes before you're supposed to be on livestream. Don't forget to postpone at the last minute too for the full JM experience.

Just doing some deep diving into Jack and their claims. So first lesbian, then transgendered but also a woman, then non-binary. Now an alcoholic too and unspecified mental health. Ok. I get maybe if you are in the public eye, you feel a duty to talk about these things (for whatever reason) but it is so vague and fragmented, I don’t think she’s reading awareness, more confusing things and just coming across as very angry about it. It’s really hard to piece together what they are (I’m using non-ninety pronouns as this isn’t meant as an attack), I just remain confused about what the current narrative is. I will be respectful of how anyone wants to identify but it’s easier if you are clear and not incredibly defensive if people query the confusion; does anyone have any insight on this? It’s all very vague, especially the relationships.

If you’ve not already seen it, check out the wiki at the top of this page, it clears up a lot of things!

Oh sweet @emmer_moans... your observation was correct! Fast forward nearly 200 threads later and we can add a few more things 🤣

OK my dear lovely fraus, this is what constitutes for an amazing Saturday night, chez Carmina Piranha. Below are just some of Jacks engagements that I could find, only going back to 2014. This is not all of them, though...just what I could find!
I remember her whining in the past she often only got paid a fiver for some of these gigs, and maybe dinner expenses...but what I've listed has some sort of reimbursement.
Sorry @Pocahontas if this is too long. But like I said yesterday, it's an astounding list....
