We had a BBQ yesterday, I also had to build it before I even caught sight of a sausage. After rooting around for a screwdriver, my wife appeared with that face...the bloody instructions were entirely in French. Luckily, having seen a few episodes of 'Allo Allo' back into the day, I am fluent en français so the day was saved. Everyone then clapped and cheered.
Back in the mists of time (ok the 90s) I worked in…local government let’s say so as not to 
….anyway I remember an older colleague kindly taking the time to educate me in the way of local community relations and he was describing the phenomenon of the “local hero”. This is a person who aims to be well known and beloved in the community, is often a bit of an eccentric character and a bit of a pain…they do high profile local charity stuff, they’re always writing to the local paper, leading some local campaign against this that or the other (usually housing development), they turn up at council meetings and know every last bit of the proceedings and make a nuisance of themselves…they’re always the community spokesperson getting interviewed on local news…. 9 times out of 10 these people are well motivated and sometimes do a lot of good but oftentimes there is a bit of psychological quirkiness or some kind of narcissism that leads them to push themselves forward…this is the framework through which I understand Jacks background and how she first came to prominence locally (as she did through blogging on local politics).

The linguistic gymnastics to avoid revealing that she’s dating a man are so strained.
Can you imagine failing 60 job interviews and coming away still thinking that everyone else is the problem? “They just aren’t ready for me, bebeh”. And indeed having as many opportunities that you fucked up and still thinking that you are just a misunderstood genius?
Viewing figures for DKL were good because there was a captive audience of a nation trapped in their homes, Jack, not because you’re a draw.

Happy 300th birthday to the mithering fraus. I love being here and you guys really do keep me going!
Posting to see what I look like with my Vienetta hat, and also to share my OT Vienetta horror story
On topic. She’s still a bell end.
ETA oh, I have to share my hat between two old variety stars…ploppers!

I was once on the bus coming home from the city, and one of the stops was on an out of town shopping centre with a massive Tescos.
An elderly bloke got on with his shopping and sat at the front, gets comfy then reaches into his shopping bag and pulled out a Vienetta which he then proceeded to EAT LIKE A GIANT CHOC ICE.
Uguise, everyone on the bus was looking on with a mixture of amazement and semi disgust.
However, dear readers, the tale doth not end there. The bus driver lurched round a particularly tight roundabout coming off the shopping complex. The Vienetta slipped out of the auld fella’s grasp - and dropped on the floor. I regret to inform you he didn’t miss a beat, scooped it up off the bus floor and carried on eating as if nothing had happened.
I honestly genuinely swear on my life this happened and it isn’t a Jackanory Monroe lie.

‘Common and coarse’ must be the Beeb’s euphemistic way of saying awkward in front of the camera and can’t cook for shite.In response to a squig asking why she isn’t on the BBC after “a very successful Saturday lockdown kitchen or whatever it was called”

Such lies, such embarrassing lies
what exactly is common and coarse about her? That fact she has - gasp - tattoos?! Or could it be that she likes to wear - faint - trainers and Doc Martens? Fetch the smelling salts, Mary, that tattooed lass is on our screens again being all common and coarse.

Ngl, when I heard gorgonzola semi-freddo, I imagined she'd coated half a freddo bar in gorgonzola.

I have just read the Mumsnet Jack/Daily Kitchen thread
It wasn't just us then! They all came to the same conclusion that she was Terrible and that Matt didn't even bother to surpress his obvious irritation by the end.
I had forgotten she was threatening to sue here For saying she was useless.
This was one of my favourite comments.
I went off to make some tea and toast during the awkward silences at the start of her cooking segment - and came back in to find her cutting up something that looks like I could pave my patio with it.

I've had to tell Mrs TUIT about the Vienetta Hats because in her previous life these were seen as the height of sophistication and wheeled out for every feast day or when the priest came round.
She hates them with a passion.
Her reply.... "Fucking German Women!"

Quite funny to see that Laurie Penny has just recently ‘come out’ as autistic - complete with big, dramatic announcement, a written piece, excessive just-googled examples of what makes her particularly autistic, and even an AMA page?!
They really do just consult the same playbooks, no?

Freaky Friday (Sali Hughes played a blinder thereLoving all the lurkers coming out to say hello. Any others? Tell us what brought you here in the first place
)On discovering educated discourse on her thread, I then noticed another Guardian contributor in the form of Jack. I had previously tried a recipe of hers, and it didn’t work despite my bean rinsing.
One of the main flags for me though was that god awful and quite frankly irresponsible article the guardian printed regarding how fabulous she felt after one weeks sobriety, a few years back. As someone who does struggle with alcohol, it was confusing. I now see it for what it is, thanks to Tattle. Others will still take her on face value
The fact she continues to be given platforms to spout her nonsense, really pisses me off.
However, I do love to read about it on here

The fact we've got traditional Venetian Viennettas on our heads is spectacular. Jack must have been too poor for Viennetta growing up because she never mentioned it in her COVID fugue state list of every food she'd ever consumed. The cable is the best ever and the mods are top lads. Now I'm just off to make my own Vegannetta out of veg peelings and chickpea ephemera. Don't worry, I've boiled it to get the toxins out.
