Re: the podcast -

She’s been ~in the vulgarities of fame~ for over a decade now. We’ve been here less than two years. Are we also to blame for the fact she’s never married, had multiple failed engagements, was allegedly an alcoholic back when she was vile about a deceased child’s family, never bought a house, a car, never professionally developed, and still applies makeup like a 5 year old? Just curious x

Bad advice, bad bad advice.

What the absolute flip is _this_ all of a sudden?

 

[L3moning]

Is wholesome cottage-core Jack a new “Jack” or a rehashed one? I loose track.

Does remind me there was a wrestler in the 80s and 90s called New Jack.

@Vanelope ...the chippy near me does a pizza dipped in batter and deep fried. It's called a "Pizza Crunch" and it's a wonderful thing!*

*As an occasional treat

I can confirm the wonders of a pizza crunch although I prefer simple ‘deep fried pizza supper’ i.e. without the batter. It is truly delicious but not something you’d eat often. The chippy by me home makes the pizza before deep frying and it is superb.

I don’t own a deep fryer myself so the latest offerings are pretty niche I think.

Isn't most of her food incredibly Salty. I'd be syphoning that cold tap all night.

 

[Captainmouse]

Do you think she would like this picture of an owl running for when she grunks?

How cute is that?

Is there a glossary of terms used in JM thread as there's a whole language in here I missed out on by being late to the party?

I think there's one somewhere but for the life of me I know not where to find it, someone will explain better than me and probably already have as I'm stil grunking - behind on posts so catching up , named after a poster I think was called grunka who was also catching up.
Was also before my time but that's the general gist

 

[Captainmouse]

I heard the term “Jack the Biscuit” on another thread Ioan Gruffud Alice Evans
Context “he’s got loads of fans he thinks he’s Jack the biscuit”

We need our photo shoppers to do examples

Totally off the current subject, but has anyone triangulated the beige suit from the diva.pdf? I’m intrigued as to where it’s from and how much it cost.

I think it's by Sundarbay but not 100% sure. Jack follows them on Insta.

 

[hollowhusk]

the spoiler didn’t work but we all know it wasn’t milk, butter and flour behind it don’t we

I had spoilered REAL BUTTER!

 

[Lanie]

I was battering and frying mars/ snickers back in the day. She's so behind the times with her little maverick ideas it's not even funny. Also has she ever tried the mars bar toastie. Sounds awful taste yum.

Obviously you don't use butter, but she probably would because maverick.

 

[TurnedUpInTipp]

Yeah but they didn't give it to Jack . She said she went out and bought it.

Ahh! I missed that bit.. Cheers!

 

[Lanie]

I need to email him one of my WILD referral codes,He can get a free case with my reference. They are vegan and sustainable and come in a range of lovely fragrances. Sadly sweaty arrogant egomaniac is not one but I could have a word with their team who are always looking for suggestions

Didnt she say be sponsored her or something imagine being that room, oh wait you wouldnt have to their egos and massive sense of self would take up all the space...

 

[Nottonightbabe]

I am currently still seeing comments as open.

If you follow Jack they're open, if you don't they come up as 'limited'. I think usually they're limited to only those that she follows aren't they?

 

[Lanie]

I have had two laptops in my life and I've never lost one. ( Before that desktops)
It's a good thing her work load consists of taking "food smut" pictures because actually writing and saving and sourcing decent content would be hard without a computer. Phones today are good but not professional level.

 

[Captainmouse]

Oh come on though, cut her some slack for the austerity book. We all KNOW the pandemic has made it so she can’t travel…not for interviews anyway!

Only those she gets paid for

 

[Shawads]

I like miserable books but I cannot imagine wanting to read one about various stories of the 21st century tory led poverty.

Don't think many people would except maybe economic students for reference purposes. I mean it's a serious subject but no one from the masses will want to sit down and read after Christmas lunch and I cannot imagine her demographic customers who are poor and probably sent their stories would be overly bothered to read anything other than their story, because who would. It's miserable and they live it. They don't need a book by some cook who used a food bank years ago to highlight how skint they are now.

Thing is its not even a real representation so any students who don't know their onions are going to be completely misinformed if they use her as any kind of reference to what it's like for those of us who struggle under tory rule and in a capitalist society.
She's an outdated cliché-monger who absolutely does not have her finger on any pulse.

Have telly on in the background and there's an Aldi Christmas ad on which namechecks Marcus rashford!

Each to their own, but are you sure you are feeling ok this morning? Hoping to see Jack in the pose you describe is very, how shall I say...niché.

I just belly laughed at this. OK hoping to see it is maybe a stretch, more honestly I want it to happen because look forward to the responses on here. I'm a #badfrau

Comments are currently open after being limited for ages.

I think someone may be reading here comments are off unless followed ?

 

[Lanie]

She's going to ruin biscuits now, isn't she?

I had to go to the store earlier and I gagged a little when I walked past the tinned fish display.

She did those dominio ones last year. They looked nice but a few suspected they were not all her own.

My 9 year old has a 8pm bedtime, but that's upstairs in pyjamas and reading. His actual lights out is more 9 pm.

Ooo I must be 9 but that is due to the fact I am already on the train and I need my sleep
