Perhaps Jack should get into the meal box game. Call it 'Jack in the Box'. Every week (whenever Jack can be bothered), you'll get a tin of chickpeas, a bag of mouldy salad to make pesto, and whatever yellow sticker stuff is in ASDA this week.I tried Gousto boxes for the first time recently and one of their curry kits uses clotted cream (!!) When I opened the box, my first thought was that jack had been given a job on their production line and that she must have been responsible for this heinous culinary assault on my home soil.
Incase anyone is curious I made said curry with said clotted cream and it was edible but I would never choose to eat it again.
Back to my Grunk, Love you cabal
Same. I make a mental note of the venues and companies that use influencers and I don't give them my custom.I actively avoid companies that engage heavily with influencers. Isle of Wight tomatoes springs to mind along with those awful Lucy and Yuk jumpsuits. I am still recovering from the sea of gifted paeonies on Insta last year.
Your avatar is truly terrifyingDays since Jack said she was going to support Full Time Meals
The other day I was trying to help my flatmate with (spoilered task BC a bit gross, let's just say some kind of household task If you're eating/easily queasy ) tips for unblocking a toilst drain and came across an article by someone named Hattie Gladwell on how to do it using washing up liquidIt’s happened mithering ninnies. Jack has invaded my every being. I’m currently reading a Val McDermaid (Karen Pirie) novel set in Edinburgh and she’s gone to Dishoom and my first thought was JM. I was at a friends and they offered me kombucha and I pointedly refused because i associate it with them. Please find me a suitable aparthotel where I can get help.
Gotta get the original period fixtures in there, even if it is a rented house as specified. I love that though, like she's disavowing ownership of the house and implying renting is for poors and ohhh the struggle and then in the next sentence its 'please, accept these fancy features in lieu of my personality'.Morning all, now we've turned into the Now That’s What I Call Jack thread, thought I'd revisit the purple prose that is the Top Tips book:

If there is a fuel burning device in the room it can be very dangerous too. Coal fires, wood burning stoves, gas fires, or even gas hobs all need oxygen for combustion and for the chimney or flue to work efficiently. If used in a room with inadequate ventilation they can produce flammable and/or toxic gases.Covering your windows with bubble wrap like it's the apocalypse or something

No, not yet (thank the Lord Jesus Compton), but she went through a phase of giving out tasty snippets from it here and thereThat actually got published???
Was just coming to post that now! Feels like the Cabal has started a trend!
Maybe Hattie Gladwell can come on here and tell us what she did with the £15000 she raised to publish a book in 2018.On the continued subject of grifting...
Grifter Gladwell has over 30k followers on her twitter and the breakdown advertorial (certainly not a magazine when it’s latest tweets are shilling for CBD lubes and plant based food competitions that no doubt come from her PR company) has 11k followers. Guess what though. The scoundrel has flipped her personal account to private so the glamping holiday will get even less reach now. Shameless. And - frankly, more fool the camping company that threw her the bone to begin with.
Also - Hi Hattie. It’s clear you have caught up here. Just know, we fucking see you. Really not keen on your shit being exposed for what it is, are you. You are no better than Jack and I hope every minute of your #gifted holiday sucks the big one.
Anyway - still glad Jackie is absent. Hope the cat and the rabbit and the kid are ok. Indifferent entirely about Jacks well-being. She deserves everything she has coming to her.
As an aside, you can do wonders with a Kallax, a set of legs, and some imagination, if you want a good, practical and useful sideboard on the cheap. Ikea hacks on the internet can make Cotswolds look like the boring, mundane, middle class ick that they are. At a considerable saving too!
That's fuckin terrifying. My parents had a fancy gas fire fitted when they were renovating their house years ago and there was so much red tape and inspections and additional vents added just so they could run one fire without dying in a room that has the square footage of a floor of your average two up two down. You'd think stuff like this would be common sense but often isn't (i nearly did myself a mischief the other month using an entire CO2 extinguisher in a very very enclosed and unventilated space.If there is a fuel burning device in the room it can be very dangerous too. Coal fires, wood burning stoves, gas fires, or even gas hobs all need oxygen for combustion and for the chimney or flue to work efficiently. If used in a room with inadequate ventilation they can produce flammable and/or toxic gases.
In my career as a building surveyor I have seen the effects of people stuffing up air vents in windows and walls. One man died when he blocked a wall vent because he said it was causing draughts, I had visited him just a month earlier and removed the blockage. He clearly re-blocked the vent as soon as I left.
In another case, someone that did as Jack has suggested, blocking all air entering the room around the window, ended up having an explosion which wrecked the front part of the house, and fire damage to the rest of the house.
Nice to see Fire Service Jack giving out dangerous advice that could lead to fire, property damage and even death.
I don't think that was Jack, it was Top Tips from Viz magazine (a piss take).If there is a fuel burning device in the room it can be very dangerous too.

I could never beg like this. Begging for food to feed yourself or your family ok, bur because you think you need a holiday... Yeah fuck off!As part of my "Small Creative Business", I occasionally get asked to donate items to charity auctions. It's not a wholly selfless act - the organisers usually promote my website and Instagram, and that's great publicity for me, as well as supporting the charity, and it's such a great way to help raise money. I've had some real shockers in the past tho:
I gave what I considered to be one of my best pieces to a friend who was running an auction for a small charity she was the treasurer of, and when I went along to the auction, my work wasn't there. When I queried it, she said, "Oh we liked it so much we kept it but made a donation to the charity". Naturally she wouldn't tell me how much, and because my work wasn't on show I lost out on all the publicity.
On another occasion I took a long taxi trip with a piece, and when I got the charity office was told buy the organiser to "sling it on the pile", and he didn't look up from his phone or say thanks.
Another donation was made to a person raising money for a child needing medical care. Mine sold for £350, and the total raised was in the tens of thousands, then the organiser fucked off to Greece with all the dosh.
It's such a shame, because the good feelings I get from helping to raise money are just...tarnished...by shitty stuff like that, and put me off doing it again.
I just don't get the absolute nerve of people begging for holidays and stuff. These idiots (Instagrammers) aren't even trying to raise money for anything worthwhile. - just for themselves. I'm glad that businesses don't feel they have to bend over backwards for some nobody to say their holiday was "Fabulous, Guys!!!"
Rant. Over.
I'll take myself to tattle jail for this illegal early thread title nomination...I'm surprised she has to keep inventing injuries
I remember her promoting heating a room with tealights and flowerpots. I dont think that's very safe.I remember on MSE it used to be a thing to cover windows with bubble wrap. I never thought of the safety aspect tbh, more along the lines of making you look like an absolute nutter or like a crack den. But yes, for someone who brags about their fire service experience () Jack really is not fire safety conscious at all @MancBee
