‘I often get readers asking what they should do with a courgette and being a polite girl, I’m inclined to give an answer of the culinary variety.’

Really? You wrote that down? In a cookbook?

That's so embarrassing. That's dire. What is wrong with her? So much cringe, so much why?!

I'm surprised that went to print. Looks like Bluebird doesn't have beta readers.

That story about parliament is absolute pony Jackie. Also people who work there call It the palace

It's such irony all the squigs calling the parody account a bully. You could just put their tweets under Jack's actual account and s they would make sense, more sense in fact!

Yes, I’m getting that vibe too. Are you talking about LM?

This, except my personal demon says "These are the tomatoes I am growing for my lover"
Shudder.
Haha, better than 'the strawberries I sing to' or whatever thing in her vegetable patch she was singing to. Or worse: the 'stir, stir, stir,' in self-love stew. I think there are few pieces of her writing so grating as Self Wank Love Stew.

ETA - catching up back-to-front and just saw the piece quoted and it was chard she was singing to....

She's really not funny in the slightest and her attempts at innuendo (or indeed being 'sexy' ) come across as creepy and disgusting tbh .

This will probs have been said already but it’s used quite often in AA in relation to a resentment - the irony is that we live rent free in her head whereas I Tattle, I do other things, I don’t think about her during the day, I Tattle then log off and don’t give her a second thought.

So if there’s any rent free living, it ain’t in my head pal!

The worst thing is that she can't take the piss out of herself. Not everyone is funny or elegant. That's fine. It's the self-importance and wanting to be the maverick-smol-pixie-genius-strong-and-yet-so-vulnerable-wunder-cook.

2 hours 33 minutes.
She's drunk or on something.
How embarrassing.

This has all been watched and discussed already so apologies.
But
Deeeep voice = codeine
Nasal issues = coke
Talking pony = Jack Monroe

All opinion m'lud

Nooo because why does she sound like when I used to make prank calls to family as a child, and I pinched my nose to disguise my voice

Exactly Lenny! I blocked her and muted mentions of her on Twitter, unfollowed pages that reposted her every fart....... because I was actually sick of seeing her everywhere. I come here to find out what has been going on/have a laugh.

I still can't get over the state of the knives, are they meant to look like that? I have one TK Maxx Sabatier and it's clean because... I wash it?
