Sweet Jesus. Don’t know if that was brave or look at me. Well I do know.
I don’t know why I looked and shattered a lovely quiet Sunday.

Same formula as Jack's recipes. 70% self-obsessed waffle, 25% other people's work, repackaged beyond recognition, 5% chaos.

Well we all know how it will go:
'There is a corner of the internet called Tattle Life where people, mainly women, gather to criticise and mock influencers and celebrities. Tattle Life is a 'hate site' and it seems nothing is off limits and there is no moderating.
I reached out to admins to give their side of the story but received no reply. I also asked posters for a comment, but mostly they are all too intimidated to speak out. One previous member however did contact me to say she was ashamed of herself posting on Tattle Life and had got carried away. She was too scared to post anything positive about influencers as it was an automatic ban if that happened.... ' and blah blah blah so it goes on.

Let’s make our own hats to commemorate thread 31 on weds!
I’m thinking of a solero or an “upcycled” dangerously hole punched hot tin can Candle tin, perhaps some lasagne with horse spunk on, the St Paddy’s day hats for Jack O’Monroe or a tartan army wee jimmy tam o’shanter for Jock McMunroe

The video clip is 6.26 minutes long, and she sings for precisely 2 minutes. So 4.26 minutes waffling on about shit and nonsense and 2 minutes doing what the video clip is supposed to be. The clip is titled Landslide (cover, a capella), yet she devoted twice the time taking about herself than she did singing the song.

Mind you, I am not sure which part was worse, the waffle or the singing.

Looks like the Gladwell Grift has paid off with a 5 night stay at some £125 a night glamping place. Can’t wait for the review.

I'm building myself up to watch this later after my dearly beloved has retired for the night as i can just imagine the horrified looks he will give me thinking this is music I've chosen to listen to because I like it. And i cant be arsed to explain the back story as he will doze off & start snoring half way through


Looking forward to it as a big treat for later

Do you know what Cabal, I'm actually quite despondent today. It really has piqued my interest. I know why some of you dear hearts prefer her being away, you are an intelligent and witty bunch who have furthered my critical thinking and provided some much needed relief from real life chaos on multiple ocassions.

But SOMETHING (or SOMEONE) has to be making her stay away. The following has been discussed with no candyman effect whatsoever:
- SB's living arrangements
- where she is
- what treatment she may require
- Slopbot released another pure banger
- her extensive fire service contributions
- Prue's new Hellmans-sponsored show

And she has stayed silent. I'm starting to doubt (a tiny weeny bit) our powers

I get that it fits with the treatment/being away narrative... but how many times has she been away and never actually left!? How many times - even in pretty recent history - has she referred to something from these threads within her tweets which proves she stays up to date with her grunking? How many times has it taken even the smallest iota of a thought expressed on Twitter for her to go in, flying monkeys blazing, without a thought of what might *actually* be happening? We have PROOF she has no self control.

I also get that therapy/counselling can be pretty transformative... I'm proof of that. But it wasn't an overnight thing. It was gradual, considered, meaningful change. What we have seen when she has decided to post isn't necessarily that so there must be some physical detachment from the phone enforced by someone else. Is she alone in that aparthotel? Who actually has the power to make her change her habits of a lifetime with social media? I don't think our dear LJC would be that person or we would have lived a fairly chaos free 2021.

While I'm here, if that person is reading here can you please do my mate @Into_the_tunnel a solid and publish Jack's granola recipe. Ta.

Hi all, what have I missed? Somehow I got locked out of my account, and no matter what is did I couldn't get back in. Gave up trying ages ago, but now I appear to be back, no idea what has gone on.

We attract a good crowd, I've genuinely cried laughing at some stuff in this thread and I've not even been here a year.

This makes me so depressed.
Businesses must be struggling left right and centre (though I know demand is up for holiday places in the UK). And grifters feel perfectly justified in getting free stuff in return for a bit of a review about the place in some obscure blog.
