Looks like Vlad’s been having the mushroom curry

Long time lurker just popping up to say .... Is her recipe just curry paste, coconut milk and mushrooms? That's just stirring. My toddler could make her 'recipe' more appetising*
Well yes - it’s certainly basic - but also (going by this recipe) it’s not a curry paste one would normally recognise, that’s for sure. I would take your toddler’s creations over Jack’s gut-wrenching concoctions any day.
I will be testing it out at some point this weekend, or (more likely) early next week. Results over at the Slopathon thread. I’ll be honest, I’m not optimistic.

Just cross posting our resident slop slinger's antics from the slopalong so far
77 (!) fraus are signed up, if you're intested in taking part add yourself to the bottom of the wiki table or @ me in the slopalong thread and I can do the honours
We've also got a back catalogue of historical slops in the wiki to tide us over until we get more fresh slops

I just looked at Veganish on Amazon and it turns out there's a photo of her looking gormless in an egg chair. Veganish indeed. A tofu chair if you please.

Ah, a continuity (x2) work denim boiler suit spotted in the wild! Now we can see for ourselves exactly how they get -destroyed- by the nature of her work being a twat in an expensive chair

Also, she’s so blatantly cosplaying her DEAD immigrant landlord grandfather (with one pair of shoes) in that pic. It’s…odd.




Lol to ‘an instant hot water tap before it was cool’ (elsewhere in this interminable thread waxes lyrical about when she was SB’s age, so allegedly in the mid 1990s, before hot water taps were cool). #1948 Truther.

Also, clearly the role model for thrift given that “the story” is he came over with one pair of shoes and even when owning properties decades later she implies he still had just the one pair. #NotVimesBoots

We know Jack has got form for flying off the handle without reading things properly, like the DLA letter she shared, then blamed the squigs for reading it correctly.

This is entirely plausible, only a fraction of that will be Teemill sales and it’s an insight into just how much was coming in per month from Patreon. Even if a generous 50% of it was Teemill from initial post launch interest, that’s c£5K per month from Patreon for doing sweet FA. So a c£60K passive income per year at a low ball estimate. Chriiist!

That is such a good theory!
It's at the very least an entertaining one. I'm not really sure it holds slop, as she was crowing about having raised £10,000 on Feb 3rd already.
But I still don't believe she sold 1700+ items in two days and then a measly 40-odd over the next 7-8 months.
It must be something she misunderstood.

Thought this might amuse the canal… a friend sent me one of these lists of people humble bragging and being general twats. And look who turns up!
Did someone say something about being a general twat? From early 2021



What. A. Tool.

PS wonder if she made it into Pandora’s article?!

Hold up, what date did Nigella boost her patreon? She announced the £10k long before the money would have made it to her paypal so if she mistakenly believed patreon funds were Teemill ones, she must have:
1. Been paid by patreon before the 2nd Feb, but didn't we deduce that payout from patreon is a few days later?
2. Not have understood the rolling payout, although she stated a day before she announced the £10k she was aware of this.
3. Made £10k a month from patreon?

I think she got the £10k figure from the Teemill dashboard. I don't think the dates line up for a Patreon chaos.

Yeah, I think I made a chaos. Sorry.

I have bee thinking and i think she should give a free copy of her book to her patrons. They have supported her for two years, despite not receiving rewards. Its the least she can do, however i do realise that is 700 books money, however i think the poor suckers deserve something. This book will probably go the way of the last one and flop.

Nigella did the beg for her on Jan 29th. That first cash gets pulled from patrons right away so her first bump would have been in early feb from those who subscribed in that first couple of days. IIRC @heretoreaditall2019 says you can actively withdraw earlier than 4th-5th of month but if you don’t, that’s when the money automatically lands in your account/Patreon pays out

(ETA if I understand correctly from reading their truly awful trustpilot reviews, Patreon pulls cash from you on the day you subscribe, but regardless of what day of the month that is, pulls your second payment from you on the first day of the next month, so if you subscribe on 29 Jan, you’ll have money pulled on 29 Jan and 1 feb too. Don’t take this as fact until clarified by Patreon expert fraus. WARNED.)

Reckon early Feb would have been a whopper of a windfall for her with big annual subscriptions too tho. Also “small flurry” of hundreds. @heretoreaditall2019 can clarify FORENSICALLY for us.

Yep. A few fraus mentioned this at the time, though with all the other shit that’s gone on since then it’s no wonder we forgot.
She’s had a steady trickle through, since March until now. This is why we were waiting until early March before chasing up with the TT to see if they’d received their money; because we knew if they disassociated themselves from 3rd Feb onwards, their money should have come in at the start of March.

Creators have (or at least had, it may have changed) the ability to choose when their patrons get charged.

In practice though I'm fairly certain nearly all bill at the start of the month.
(edit: and yes, in that scenario you are billed upon sign up, even if it is the last day of the month)

She certainly seems to put her dad and grandad on a pedestal doesn't she? Never a mention of her nan (who isn't dead) and only really mentions her mum when she wants to use her disabilities to score points. Makes you think.

Morning you sloppy lot

"The nature of my work means stuff gets -destroyed-"

What? What?

You're a "cook", twitter twat and media "personality", you're not working down the frigging mines.

Put a bloody apron on and, I don't know, use a knife strop instead of your boiler suit, cos fuck knows what else you could be doing to ruin your clothes. The mind boggles. My aneurysm!

Wouldn’t put it past her to outright plan on donating a month’s worth of patreon income in lieu of teemil! Pure speculation

I think I'm going to be sick and for once it's not slop-related.

It's not even a humblebrag. It's just four brags for the price of one:

-I have a big shiny eagle with my name on it!
-I have a drawer full of letters because people think my work is amazing!
-I'm such a great parent because I never get annoyed and my kid adores me.
-I'm above caring about superficial things such as awards. *Ascends to a higher spiritual plane*

Blurgh!
