You'd be better off listing the non-Jacks, it would take less time. For example

Fantastic cook Jack

Successful household budgeter Jack

Always completely truthful Jack
Nice, nice is definitely missing from list of non mackies

This actually took my breath away. I’m normally here just laughing at how other people see what a head she is. But that was like a punch to the gut.

Wild garlic Jack was a ride.
This has reminded me of eucalyptus Jack. She hung a bunch in her shower, posted pics promising to let everyone know how it went/how effective it was - and shockingly - we never heard about it ever again

Noticed she said ‘lived rough’ rather than slept rough, so if questioned on it she could point out ‘that’s not what I meant, now duck off’ in her usual charming manner. I don’t think the choice of words was accidental though, she knew how it would read.
The infamous Jif lemon also makes an appearance in the article if you’re looking for some light relief. Also the rinsing of spaghetti hoops because obviously.
