Looks like you found an apostrophe though, how could you possibly take a break from your 100 hour weeks of full time bastardry to do that??

 

[IcanSpellBéchamel]

BIB For thread title? Both for the succinct hilarity but mostly because of this lovely dog.

Two weeks ago my fat Mediterranean arse, surely?

(and don’t call me Shirley)

 

[Misslucky]

There's a recent photo of them stood next to each other on Big Dave's Facebook and it's so awkward

I thought she punched her older brother

I thought she punched her older brother

At Christmas, for repeating the famous “should have kept your legs closed” line that Portillo and random train passengers often hiss at her

Arse is a swear, we got all the titles taken off the early Becky Holt threads coz we called her Becky Bumhole

 

[SpudYouHate]

I’m up with a cough and a chaos is happening in real time

'Where I meet up with people who I'm supporting with various things'?! She couldn't 'support' a piss up in a brewery! FFS.

 

[colouredlines]

And she has expensive tastes across the board. She’s clearly a sucker for being influenced and trends, she loves designer clothes and jewellery, she likes art and buying books, sideboards, crockery, spoons etc forever. It must be compulsive because most people who’ve experienced THE POVERTY are a bit more circumspect and choosy when it comes to the choices chosen and tend not to fritter.

Spoiler: Alternate Universe Jack

if she wasn’t such a massive dick she could’ve been quite an interesting person to follow. The poverty larp was misjudged from the very beginning-she chose the one thing she clearly has no skills in and it showed. If she’d gone with clothes and objets at least she’d have had a genuine love for her topic and could’ve indulged her love of dress up.

Jack has always been terrible with money. For those who haven't seen it before:

Just imagine acquiring all that tit at the age of 24.

(Also, what kind of weirdo is buying designer crockery in their early 20s? This isn't even a middle class vs working class thing, it's just Jack being bizarre.)

Fancy a Sunday morning giggle? Go to TikTok and search 'Sons of Atticus'- Jack Monroe: I'm not techy enough to post it, sorry.

'Tis her theme tune

 

[Pavlova]

Yeah not gonna lie, I've told myself to stop four times and I've signed up and started commenting during that time.

Oh dear. That's it, no escape now you know...

Alright, I know healthyonabootstrap is not news to a lot of the canal but as a Post-HH2 frau, I just went down a tiny rabbit hole.

Spoiler: Longish

Healthyonabootstrap was a project Jack "started" (if you can call it that) in May 2018. She set up a twitter account and WordPress site for it. Admittedly I'm unsure if the website was always a WordPress one. https://archive.ph/Efri6

The twitter account has 7 entire tweets on it.

The WordPress site has the following:

Coming soon page

Includes a tip jar rattle (like all the other pages).

Post on recommended books

The ‘Bootstrap Healthy’ Recommended Reading List – Healthy on a Boots…

archived 2 Oct 2022 22:31:32 UTC

archive.ph

Lists several recommended books. Jack notes that some are her own books and she earns commission on those.

What she doesn't mention is that every single link is an affiliate link she profits from. Sneaky.

Also includes this book.

Every Body & Every Mind

She's "commissioning" writers.

Charred Cumin Green Beans with Raita

Recipe taken from another of her cookbooks. "Serves 4". One portion of green beans is approx. 125g. One portion of yoghurt is 125ml. So, no, it doesn't serve 4.

The twitter feed links to a blog post on equipment but that's long gone.

I suspect there were tip jar rattles to fund this project.

 

[SpudYouHate]

Maybe the fellowship meetings are at the coffee shop. Multitasking, don't you know.....

So far I've been in 2 'support groups' where the person supposedly running the show ended up using the people attending as their personal therapists and sounding boards. I can very much see this happening if Jack tried to 'support' anyone.

Was this when she sold everything including her light bulbs and her son’s dinosaur during The Poverty? Did she use “A Girl Called Jack” before her first book? I am a confused Frau.

(also “ladies” clothes arrrgh)

Oh my god she has the lyrics from a song in The Little Mermaid. She thought she was a little mermaid just swimming around acquiring treasure.
Twenty-four years’ worth of vintage Denby and Wedgwood - did we know Jack was an infant antiques prodigy?

 

[SpudYouHate]

I do feel like the FD person posting multiple times on the post was excessive and intended to get the reaction it did. Hey bear, here's my stick, poke, poke, poke.

She's just too easy to bait, you'd think she'd learn. Just delete, block and maybe say "doggo does look a bit scruffy but booked in with a pro next week! (My poor wallet send cash)"

It's just like the potatoes, she's got one tool in her box - escalate!

Personally I don't. I think they're likely autistic at a guess- as I tend to do similarly- and were just genuinely scared for the dog's health. Jack is just a revolting piece of work.

 

[Slop n slide]

Jack really has painted us as nefarious, mendacious, trolls to the Hellsite, and I think it's lovely every time a new frau is genuinely surprised by how much we're not. We're good ninnies really.

When this all comes out and due diligence is done, this interminable, beautiful thread will be named and famed for its genuinely balanced critical approach. I’ve dipped my toe in other threads on here and have to say I’ve been appalled by most of them. This one stands out as fair, thorough and bleeping funny. I’ve paid good money to see comedians who are 90% less funny than you lot. Keep up the good work my darlings.

 

[streby]

Did she really sell her lightbulbs or is that just Tattle lore?

 

[SpudYouHate]

Ah, seriously? A new patreon squig comment.
