I would like to be Down on my Luck Woolly Hat Sad Face Jack, if no one else has bagged that character.

Booby duster coat I think. Or maybe the VBI so I only exist to the Comments Club.

But will they be horrid, ridiculously expensive trainers?

Someone should wear a radiator in commemoration of the one she ripped off the wall and then filled with gas.
They won’t be as horrid or as expensive as Jack’s many £200+ pairs but I’ll try my best, dear heart

I actually came to Tattle because Nigella has posted a video about cancelling an event (despite what I’m about to say it sounds like it’s genuinely not her fault she has to cancel) and it looks like she’s off her face in it, either that or really worked up.

And here I found a veritable Jackchaos and now I can’t help wondering if Nigella turned her phone on to post this video and did see some of the tags…

Gutted I missed the chaos in real time (I was BUSY).
I fully expect another pass-agg "I'm not seething, you're seething, FOURTH HIT PIECE!" blog post or twitter thread incoming asap. If not then she's definitely had her twits tied due to Grifty Kitchen.
Thought it would be amusing to take a look at her old back and forths with The Daily Mail via her blog and Guardian column.
See 14-15th December 2013 for an insight into the incredibly obvious narc rage to smart arse to cool as a cucumber routine.
Nothing says you're not bothered like replying three times to the same article, on three different occasions.

Just reminiscing about this absolute banger from back in March. As we near the end of the year, I'd say it's ghouls 1- Jack 0.

I do think she will do her usual - lie low for a while and then return with a slop or a political cold-take and pretend like nothing happened. Her main problem at the moment is that everything she touches, any company or blue tick who tweet about her are met with an influx of truth-revealers backed up with screenshots and evidence. Eventually (if not already) she will be more hassle than she's worth. This has been going on for a long time now, and is only getting worse, as she has!

She's a little twitchy in that video

I nominate Roasting Jack for thread title and I KNOW it’s too early but I’m doing it anyway.
I am humbled and honoured to have prompted such a nomination so soon after my first dip in the canal!
