Greek haired person here. Can confirm it’s the same as non-Greek hair and doesn’t require an additional amount of hair dye.

I would have thought being the mother of an 11 year old would be a good enough introduction to adulthood.

but then she doesn’t actually have to work for a living and have any responsibilities

For anybody who might be finding the recent picture of Jack posted hard to deal with here is an actual picture of her.

Once again, this is a challenging time for many. If Jack wants to discuss her MH she should warn people and use TW. Insomnia, particularly that caused in part by depression or other condition, is no joke. It does not allow you to get up and faff around with hair dye for hours. It leaves you writhing in the dark, wondering when the night will end, your mind picking over every word you have spoken or written to others, in the depths of shame. When the light eventually comes, (in winter, that time being agonisingly further away) it takes everything for you to be persuaded into a shower. But, if she can muster the energy to dye her hair, then put on a face of make up, take a load of selfies and reply to people on the hellsite then credit where credit is due. d

Exactly. Proper insomnia is really tit. It’s not just ‘I had a nap and now I can’t sleep so I’ll get up and piss around doing stuff’. It leaves you a wreck, day and night. It’s miserable. You end up getting very little done as you have to conserve your energy to get through the day.

But I suppose it’s different when you have no real job, no caring responsibilities and think it’s absolutely fine to just go back to bed whenever you want. Must be nice.

Lying is just like breathing for Jack.

It's all just so exhausting.

Am just waiting for the hair salon posting her colour transformation pics


ETA changed giphy to remove the writing at the end.

Here’s my Jack musing of the day… how come she hasn’t written an autobiography? Every fucker seems to get asked to do one, she’s undoubtedly had some unusual and interesting life experiences, she considers herself a writer and she loves talking about herself. Could it be, I dunno, FACT CHECKS?

What? Absolute fury is why she’s taking down the tree? What? What the duck is she angry about now?!

Anyway, her hair looks nice but I’m not buying the “it’s a box dye I did at 3am” tit. My hair is naturally lighter than Jacks and I spend 3-4hrs in the hairdressers…and it ends up nowhere near as light as she’s gone from “a box” 🤣

Also, no lip filler…🤣🤣🤣

I am so excited that Jack's crack team of 12 engineers and specialists are so collectively tit at their jobs, because this website drama has unearthed forgotten slop!

Did you know she rents?

...what?

Literally the first sentence is all that's needed. The rest is nonsensical filler. Recipes don't need filler! They should be clear and concise!

In fact, you don't even need any of this if you amend the ingredients list to 200g bread, finely chopped or grated. There, I saved your poor arthritic hands some painful keyboard-banging.

Again, this could stop after "mix well". More filler in this thing than in Jack's lips.

Leaving aside the sheer horror of the phrase very runny apple-water in a description of something that in theory you're supposed to want to put in your mouth...

...this is getting ridiculous. It's actually making me uncomfortable - it reads like she has no friends, and writing recipes is her only social outlet.

Deep reddish curious slop. Yum.

Classic Monroe one and done. No triple-testing team of home economists here! Fills you with confidence, doesn't it?

But earlier you told us to use a shallow tin? Now we can use whatever tin we like, but we have no idea how long it will take to cook?

PS Jack, the key dimension here is the area of the tin, not the depth. As we are all faithfully following your recipe, we all have the same amount of deep reddish curious slop. But I put mine in a 22cm tin, and someone else put theirs in an 18cm tin. The depth of the tins is irrelevant - their mixture will be deeper than mine because of very basic maths. Pythagoras would be disappointed in you.

What?

No, really, what is this nonsense?

Jack, you're a hermetically sealed heatbox.

View attachment 951932

Utter bullshit, as we all know Jack believes there is only one trifle recipe. And it's not this! What would Dad say?!

Plus ça change...
I love it when you go all forensic on us.

Can't believe she rents.

I reckon jack just has very poor sleep hygiene on account of her Twitter addiction and lack of routine.

As others have pointed out, that's not insomnia.

I'm going to defend Jack here, shudder, I have dark, nearly black natural hair, and managed to get it platinum blonde with a home kit, and then a purple wash to get the yellow out. It looked good for all of a week, and then boom, brittle AF hair no matter how much I conditioned and LJC, the roots!!! Ergh.

It needed a lot of help from the hairdressers to fix it, and it definitely couldn't have been a whim moment, I needed a lot of stuff and prep to do it.

(I did it for a laugh, was fun being blonde, never again though!)
