And to anyone who will have her - so much for her principles eh??!
I don't know how much of her twitter is real and how much is an act for the masses but from the 300 odd threads here its clear there is no clear view of Jack online - so even if she's only slightly like that in real life its no wonder her relationships don't last when even she doesn't know who she is.
Perfect for a failed food writer. Literally an analogy for her entire career. Roaring away into the abysss.
We seem to be forgetting her photography. Celery, Edinburgh, anyone?
She makes Brooklyn Beckham look talented.
She posted some tweets long before the most recent OH but (I think) after SHE LEFT about wanting to know "for a friend " what it's like having two children with a large age gap in between.I don't think she wanted a baby with LJC. She'd write about her groaning ovaries, but in relation to some disgusting anchovy slop, not babies. For whatever reason, the baby talk ramped up the second she was getting the
I'm pretty sure my sister met her partner online (she would never tell anyone, but my brother strongly hinted she was using dating sites) Seems to have worked out alright for them because they now have two smol boys.
It is just absolutely bizarre to me to be focused on having a baby/getting hitched so soon after getting a brand new puppy. I've never had one but aren't they ridiculously time consuming for at least a few weeks? Like they don't sleep well and they're also mobile without any training?!
Wrt whether she's over Louisa, I think in some ways she's not over Allegra - that was a taste of the high life, a huge house in west London, access to the best food/restaurants and pissing about with celebs all day - don't get me wrong, A worked for that but Jack had a chance to hitch a ride and she's bitter now she can't ever get back to that lifestyle (Louisa is I assume well off but not a multi millionaire)
I wonder what today has in store. A date that involves the nearest coffee shop to Harold's workplace? Sexting the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker? Landmarking a Tory? It's all too exciting.
Allegra is an abusive, aggressive bully. The two of them together were a recipe for disaster; the kids would have been affected quite badly. She's not a nice person at all.
If she is neglecting that puppy, or even just not giving it all her love and care, it’s despicable. Laurie could have been adopted by a household that would love and shower her with affection, and who would give her a good life without wanting anything in return. Jack having her prevents good things for Laurie and something lovely for someone else.
It's also notable to me that she doesn't show much interest in the child she's already got unless she's using him for content...yet she wants a baby?
Just sayin' that narc parents often prefer babies / young kids for the attention they bring and ignore / turn on their kids when they become old enough to question / resist the narc parent.
My abuse began in earnest when I got to the age where I started to question or push back on some of my narc's more bullsh*t behaviour, when I was too old to be a cute obedient extension of my narc's own personality
This is classic Jack thou eh?
She uses ppl until they get wind of what she’s up to, they then fu£k off and leave her.
Linda Diva - introduction to LGBTQ elite until she didn’t want a relationship
Allegra was about status and introduction to a high society- oh and moving her SB on a w
Louisa was about media connections & some sort of ‘normality’
OH was about a baby and sobriety crutch
Our Jackie is a user of the highest order
of course they did! They had a pretty sophisticated cuisine actually. The honey and walnut cakes they used to make are still made in Greece today. They had things like bird within a bird within a bird stuffed feasts, herb and nut stuffed trout, ceviche etc.
However I believe their cheesegraters were a different shape to ours, which is where a lot of the academic argument about the 'lion on a cheesegrater' comes in. personally I think it was a cowgirl type deal. But I am not an expert.
Out of everything that's happened on the JM threads in the last 24 hours, this has puzzled and mystified the most.
Wait whaaaa, how do you know this pls dear heart?
If you want to learn more about ancient greeks and their attitudes to food and sex (they were obsessed with both), read Courtesans & Fishcakes by James Davidson. It's an accessible, fun and funny read intended for a general audience not an academic one. It's a good laugh and a bit of escapism into a totally different world that was also weirdly like ours.
New column for the Guardian:
Sex and the Pity. Dating as a single, celebrity (but down on her luck) mum
‘They say nothing lasts forever; dreams change, trends come and go, but my grifting will never stop.’
Morning Frauen.
Finally in real time. This malarkey is so juvenile. I sincerely hope no younger/more vulnerable lesbians have her as a role model.
As a late teens Frau in a boring town it was Radcliffe Hall or nothing...

Common knowledge in the food media world. I don't work in it but I have a friend who does and Allegra is not liked or respected. She is the very definition of boorish.Wait whaaaa, how do you know this pls dear heart?
We know she reads here, we remind her of things and then she basically replies straight to us, so I predict she’ll be back on twitter soon with a “A year sober today 
” and photos of the poor puppy.
