Oh LJC how utterly belittling and patronising to those support staff! This is just bollocks. I've worked as a cleaner and catering staff before and i would have taken extreme exception to the idea that the organisation I was working to service used me and my identity - imagine sidling up to the cleaner and asking for some personal anecdote from them to satisfy some sort of promotional criteria. So inappropriate. But just so Jack

I fear that if I get involved in another Tattle thread then my job (and possibly family) is gonna sack me. Am barely keeping it together trying to keep up with this thread alongside my usual workload. I've pretty much stopped wasting time on social media so I can speed grunk of an evening! Am gonna have to give up going to the gym if the chaos continues!

If you smoke during pregnancy a baby can be born late and low birth weight. Smoking can cause low birth weights in babies. Not saying she did, but just stating that fact that was in my pregnancy leaflets when I had my kids.
Omg, I had not even considered this

I regret to inform you that Edinburgh is getting her too. They need to shut the border or something.
Scottish fraus, I feel like we're under the threat of siege. That said, there are so many places in both Edinburgh and Glasgow that I am hooting at the thought of her going to.

Glasgow: that doughnut place near Central that all the Instahuns go to (Tantrum, I think? The one that's near the Cath Kidston shop, very Sisterwife Jack vibes); any of the shitty tourist shops that play tinny bagpipes; the thought of her discovering Tim Horton's near the Celtic shop has me .

Edinburgh: Dishoom, it calls to her; Sainsbury's; absolutely nowhere out of the New Town because asking the smol pixie to climb any big hills is too much effort.

This just in: Fireman Sam exposed as Father of naughty Norman Price!

Christian Slater went to the ODR Tantrum once. Oh no. Finnieston Jack. Does not bear thinking about.

She's been invited round to Janey Godley's house. I fear a hilarious voiceover video featuring Weegie Jack.

Tenners bet she'll be chapping on wee Nicola's door about the state of food poverty whilst trying to punt her tickets

Not yet, Abouty H. There are several weeks for us to prepare our mustering at the border. (Insert Mel Gibson braveheart stylee gif)

“That’s part of our drive to try to encourage people out again, who might still be reluctant to come out in the post-Covid environment,” says Barley. “We’ve chosen a series of events which we think are likely to be attractive to people who might not have thought book festivals were for them.” These include interviews with food writer and campaigner Jack Monroe;

People who follow Jack aren't the types to go to book fairs. Snobby AF. Jack, you're going to fit in perfectly!

How many times will Jack say ‘wee’ and ‘och aye’ in her talks? Should be put on the Bingo card…

If she goes to Crabshakk and writes word salad about it, I may have to resort to gnashing/howling/clawing etc. I love their food.

She's been invited round to Janey Godley's house. I fear a hilarious voiceover video featuring Weegie Jack.
What a horrendous combination of people to spend time together. Godspeed to Janey for her recovery and all, but I find her so annoying.

I've been to the Book Festival once. I couldn't find the bar... I'm not sure there even was one...and it had the most uncomfortable chairs and the most bonkers fans. (I went to see Jeremy Paxman cos a friend had a spare ticket).

I wonder if Stuart and Open The Box guy will attend Jack's "do"

OT.... I'm dreading the Fringe/festival. I work right in the thick of it, and I cant even pop out to sainsbos at munchtime without returning with a fistful of flyers.

The Scots have all come out now

I take the flyers and get annoyed for being so polite taking them. Off topic, I know.

I don't see there being much uptake to see her. But I shall eat my words (as that's all I'll afford come August with prices going up) if I'm wrong. Although peach curry is still a no

I am not a JG fan at all, though obviously hope her health issues are resolved as quickly and painlessly as possible but I will say the speed with which she turned down Jack's offer of homecooked food had me

Oh Hashy, I always pretend I just.... might....make it to the show..

I actually think people will indeed turn up to her show... she's a "name".

The venue is very very close to my office....but ...quite far from the aparthotel.

I hope Jack reminds her audience that she used a Twitter sock puppet account called Benedict Cumberscotch to troll during the independence referendum campaign!
