Am no Tory but how does she know what they were doing in there, or that they don’t need to find a space to discuss matters at hand - and if so, why not offer food and drink there? Really don’t see much of a problem, personally. It certainly doesn’t automatically mean “getting pissed instead”. Sorry but she is in no place to claim an ounce of moral authority, the story is probably embellished as per, and how this silly little anecdote is cause for her “world” to “fucking suck” is anyone’s guess.

 

[Froggies]

But didn't she describe that as 'the tiny desk at the end for recipe writing'?

This has reminded me of when she sat at a smol desk, pens in pocket for some performative bullshit last year. (I may be misremembering the pens but I was at how ridiculous the set up was)

 

[Gildinwen-TKB]

It's a weird thing full stop, but definitely weirder when there's older kids around.

What was she hoping to achieve by doing it anyway? That LJC would be so turned on by nudie Jack with socks on, she'd take her back and they'd live off Louisa's income happily ever after?

I have no idea how she thought that would be endearing as an anecdote?

 

[Walkdengirl]

She's living like a poundland kim kardashian!

Next thread title?

 

[ecdb]

Given our recent chat about smol kitchens and the delectable Rachel Khoo, this has to count as trolling of some kind….

If she dares mess with the eggs en cocotte I will instruct a military Khoo.

Kind of sad, isn’t it, that Jack wants to keep dining out on a seven year old anecdote, harking back to a time when she thought she was going to make a success out of being, well, a lefty gobshite campaigner with a social circle of Guardianistas. The food thing was clearly the backup plan.

The food thing was only ever an accident, she made it very clear on the Radio 4 food programme that she saw herself as a political commentator first. Arguable she is even worse at politics than she is at cooking though? And hard agree @Nottonightbabe that in kitchens space doesn't matter as much as what you do with it!

 

[Powershower]

time is of no importance when you have no job but the money keeps rolling in anyway.

mildly OT, but the level of detail Jack and many others give on their SM accounts is so dull. since when did we have to document even the most mundane tasks such as giving the kitchen a clean or listing old clothes on ebay?! is the need for validation from strangers so vitally important that every day tasks need to be celebrated? oh, i just cant deal with this woman*.
* apologies if me gendering Jack is offensive to anyone; it wasn't my intention and i didn't know about non-binary/trans wishes made by Jack until they were mentioned a couple of days ago. I'd have been mortified to have misgendered someone but it seems she is content to be referred to as a woman - at least thats what i think i've read.

I know an otherwise lovely woman who does this on her Facebook “well that’s the kids off to school and time to tidy the kitchen”

“That’s the kitchen tidy, I’ll have some lunch then tackle the bathroom as it’s my day off”

Needless to say, she’s been muted

Political commentary Jack

Or perhaps it's because if they were all released at once there'd be a week of outrage but he would survive as it's just one week and people have short memories. The drip feed is to keep it in the public eye? Either way, someone is trying to bury Boris and that much is obvious. If they wanted to cover it up they simply wouldn't have leaked any of it?! #ALevelPoliticsMonroe

Shit by degrees is probably a good measurement scale for your reaction to eating a Monroe recipe... with the highest degree being Listeriosis after a salad bag pesto dinner.

 

[PinkMariner]

On a grunk and adding my twopenneth to the DB chat.
Me- right
Mum - right
Sister- right
Bestie- right
Brother - left
In laws - left
Office - left

Interestingly*, mother has hers to the right and to the left is a wall, creating a reet hullaballoo! No where for the dirty dishes! There is no start point of the conveyor belt of suds!

*it’s not interesting.

Edit - thought grunk was trunk! Stupid

 

[Peachy9]

There are no conceivable kitchen items you put in them. None. Why are they there. I give up.

She keeps going on about how flimsy the shelves are.... Why are you insisting on putting things on them then?! Either add more brackets and make use of them, or take them down and stop creating dust traps

 

[Orphan_Black]

All the draining board chat yesterday made me remember this cursed image. Why in the name of LJC is she so het up about which side her drainer's on if all she's going to do is use it as yet another piece of furniture to mount with her Mediterranean arse?

View attachment 986199

Ooooooo, just look at the lack of space and light. What a perfectly impractical kitchen in every way.

My heart bleeds for, Jack.

 

[Brian Butterfield]

Good morning ninnies, I have two draining boards (because I am FANCY) and they are both on the left

 

[CottageWitch]

My draining board (well my landlords draining board as I RENT) is on the left and in the 7 years I’ve been here I’ve never considered that being wrong? I didn’t know that was a thing people even thought about!

Spoiler: Let me tell you a secret

It's not a thing people think about. But then we all know Jack is on a higher plane of existence than all the mere mortals

ETA: I found the spoiler button! Only took me 2 years... How soon until I get recruited to Jack's computer crack team??

 

[Sideboard Bob]

I’m having an existential crisis, apologies Sidey B, I love your cardboard Pythagoras however

Spoiler: I hate myself

that triangle doesn’t have a right angle

I’m so sorry! To you and poor Pythagoras! The angles clearly weren’t on my side.

That's wallpaper? Genuinely thought it was a kid's drawing.

That is a different TOASTER!

 

[Limey]

Sir Matt of Forearms is on channel 5 presenting his new show right now... Vegetarian and vegan recipes
She'll be livid.

Just logged on to say the same!

can’t* believe she’s not on this


*can, because she’d make a right arse of it

I don't like artichokes, my tip? Don't eat them. Vinegar ain't making them taste any better!

 

[OpalMushroom]

I would love it if Jack went on Come Dine with Me. Its the treat we all need. Dave Lamb has such a naturally sarcastic voice, I can just hear it now. "Those lemons are looking a bit passive aggressive there Jack. Call that a roast, the roasts you get on Tattle are better than this. That Béchamel is very runny, are you sure you didn't visit the stables on your way?"

OT but he narrated a programme for toddlers and there was complaints that he sounded sarcastic and flippant. I've seen it and it sounds like he is making an effort not to sound that way but just can't help it

Jack would totally be Peter when (not if) she loses. Imagine if they put her up against Matt or JO.

What a sad little life, Jack.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist

 

[Ninch55]

It's such a lovely, big space.

Our last house, we had to breathe in to get out the back door because of where they'd put the oven in relation to it. I never understand her rental situation either. Why sign on for something you profess to hate so much? She does nothing but complain about the shitty bungalow, and it looks such a lovely place really.

Quite. If I could earn/grift enough to rent somewhere like that, I would move tomorrow. I’d love to start a kitchen garden, and grow roses - just my little pipe dream she’s an annoying, ungrateful whiner.
