Oh that looks awful

Yes exactly this. In fact we all love it when she flounces off and is quietly gently getting on with burger time// moving // boxing // unboxing // playing in the snow cos we all get to revisit the history and end up even more knowledgeable about the JM timeline. In fact some of us could go on Mastermind with JM as our specialist subject
I was saying this to my OH yesterday when he was asking me what the latest is.

Is that an actual alcoplop on a plate? Was she on the red wine and Guinness the night before that shoot?

Nothing new - is there? The mithering ninnies were preceded by the Guardian readers. They spotted that she was a rum’un. Were they all ‘trolls’ too?

I've never known anyone have so many extreme hairdos, in the public eye or real life. Yes, we all have a little change from time to time but wtf? I think this says a lot about her personality(s) and not having a clue who she is herself.

She also pretended he owned/ran a hat shop for what reason
I don't think she did... she did say that he worked in a little shop, but I think the canal with their creativity, imagined it to be a hat shop where these flat caps were coming from. At least, I think that's what happened.

The comments there are absolute gold. I especially like this one which sums up her whole niche:
“Jack, you have excelled yourself how to make a few simple ingredients into an unnecessary dish”
 
Reactions: 74
200g potatoes
400g carrots
400g black pudding

1 large onion, finely diced
A fistful (pow! ) of parsley, torn
4 tbsp flour
1 large free range egg

1 KILO of ingredients !?
This is the person who eats 100g of pasta between her and SB
What planet is she living on

ETA there's one that serves 8 !? never seen anything like it

Thank you @zetta buttons for the Guardian comments tip off Some absolute bangers.
I've spoilered a couple for length but this one made me wriggle and giggle under my duvet (no children pinging tins of Winalot at my head necessary).

Pick any month of any year that she's been in the public eye and you'll find her talking about daily harassment, abuse and trolls. It's always been the same, her fragile ego can't deal with anyone not agreeing with her or thinking she's wonderful, so these people get labelled as hateful bullies, for merely saying a recipe doesn’t work. Trouble is, people have believed for years that she actually does get all this abuse; she's managed to concrete this myth that she is a targeted figure.

Yeah, I think she got the boot from the food thing after making horrible comments about David Cameron's late son.
The Guardian never said anything about the David Cameron comment, and Jack continued to write her food column for five months afterwards. During that time she was also writing political opinion pieces for the Guardian; they published a scathing attack piece of hers against Cameron two weeks after the food columns stopped.

It seems fair to say that she didn't lose her food column for the Cameron comment, but rather for being really shit at writing recipes.

Some of you ninnies could indeed go on MM and beat Jackie herself, because she’s incapable of keeping her story straight

Well that would work as a hangover cure as it would make me bring up any residue alcohol swilling about in my system.

You know, now you mention it, Mr Demon Hell Spawn Bun Bun ain't so bad!



Do I feel relief? Maybe I do? But I mean...it's not like the rest of the cake is a looker, is it...you just know she used real mud for a truly organic experience.
Kind of brings back memories of the Xmas Mr Bean episode where he uses real twigs and marmite instead of twiglets

Those comments are brilliant @zetta buttons

Can’t do a screenie as it’s too short but Hangover food shouldn’t resemble dog vomit is my fave and an excellent rule of thumb

Too short

Sorry catching up from yesterday. So she has enough of them to fill a drawer and in her new "forever home" she will be sleeping in the lounge with SB next door on the gold chavvy bed at least some of the time and she will be keeping them ……………..
a) in the lounge arranged like a modern art installation on the (Cotswold) sideboard
b) in a draw in the bedroom
c) in the kitchen for stirring slop
all of these would be highly inappropriate with an impressionable teen in the house
