Her mentions are an absolute mess. It's a mixture of hair and makeup talk, Christmas trees and the burglary.

My house was burgled years ago, the second we could we set cameras up outside the house in case it happened again. We had renter's insurance too.

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...
Soooo many words...😩

Perhaps other fraus know more than me, but her website is hosted by WordPress...I mean, that's pretty reliable isn't it?
Def lying and hiding from hmrc ...or others perhaps? Angry patreon squiggs? Who bleeping knows ...
If it’s Wordpress she’s definitely beyond doubt lying. Even the thickest of shits (and remember, Jack is an autistic laserminded GENIUS) can run a Wordpress website and if she’s got other people more qualified doing it, then they’re imbeciles. I run a couple of Wordpress websites and it’s a piece of piss INCLUDING all automatic updates. I expect this is to escape Patreon duties.

yes, I think so. "Devasting amount of personal stuff to the point where it feels calculated."
I guess we just have to hope she actually reports it to the police and they can investigate rather than Jackie making up such bizarre claims... Usually they like to be notified ASAP following a burglary though, not when the victim can be half arsed to give a list when they have 'enough energy.'

All that means is she needs to buy an SSL certificate they’re about 80 quid for a year and will give you the little padlock next to the web address - it’s just net security basically.

Oh you probably know my mother LOL

Look, anyone worried about Jack (including Roadsidemum) needn't. A picture tells a thousand words and I don't consider that adrenaline caused this

This all feels so horrible.

When things are not going well (which they obviously aren’t from the constant image changes and selfies), everything is seen through a different prism and she must be feeling horrendous from this latest incident.

Jack needs people around her so she can deal with this theft appropriately.

Instead of tweeting about Tattle, she should hold her word, get off Twitter and try to do the things that actually make her feel a little bit better.

I don’t believe a word of it. Convenience when there is a tax bill that all the documentary evidence has gone missing. And no this isn’t revelling in anyone’s misfortune…. It is wanting someone who is quite obviously rich to pay their way.
Babe, same. The thought I had was ‘how many misfortunes equal emergency leeway from HMRC?’.

I don’t think any of us are inherently cynical and the cable are more empathetic and sensitive then most but the constant lies, big and small, affect any objective view we can have of her.

I have experience with this. Sometimes, it's due to a clock sync error between the server and the internet, so the times don't match, which flags up as a security issue. Most times, it's because the connection is so slow that the security certificates aren't loading when somebody attempts to access the site. In those cases, it's safe to go to Advanced and proceed.

HOWEVER, in view of it being the Bootstrap site and her lackadaisical approach to online security, safety and GDPR, I'd strongly advise that you stay well away from the site altogether. I very much doubt that it's going to be the excuse she'll give HMRC and everybody else - that she's been hacked - but she is the person who has had thousands of pounds 'stolen' from her multiple times.

Am I being thick, or is there a market for battered and scorched old pots?
Wierd isn't it. Why would burglars steal old Le Creuset pots? Doesn't make sense.
We were burglared years ago and I was slightly offended at what they obviously considered unstealable 😂

Google “burglary before tax return” it’s up in the government website on the list of reasonable excuses. Yes, I’m cynical. No, I’m not about to apologise.

Didn't happen

1. what about all those security cameras she has around the outside of the house?
2. would ones chance a property where the movement in the house and any noise outside would have been heard.
3. there would have been so many pics that would help to beg for donations

Quite pleased I decided to pretend I'm in Australia. All the "mates" and "yairs" and "timezone" references provide a great alibi for one of Those People **winks**

I'm sorry but the 'calculated' bit has stopped me right in my tracks. duck you Jack. duck you.

Also, if you can afford an Urban Decay makeup palette then home insurance is not a luxury.

And I say again a very resounding, duck. You.

She's trapped by lies, not by events. The only way through is to start being honest- with herself and with others.
