It’s hard to fathom that in 2023 Jack, or her publisher, expected to sell the book on pretty much her name alone. Or with next to no pre promotion in the press and none on TV. Or that her social media presence consists of a broken, rarely updated website, a rarely updated instagram and the absolute insane bin fire that is her Twitter.Exactly - I stumbled across Bored of Lunch on Instagram about three or four months ago, I think. He’s got a great account - for me, anyway! Lots of recipe ideas, enough push about his book (& signing events; take note, Jack, you can’t rest on your laurels if you want to remain relevant & sell your product) that you knew when it was being launched without it being a distraction & that’s about it. No drama, no “me, me, me”, definitely no flouncing & no hint of any flying monkeys anywhere. And I can confirm his recipes from the book are brilliant and also pose no risk to fingers; I fell softly, gently back in love with my slow cooker this week. I bet he doesn’t read here but if you do, thanks, Nathan!
I am in the middle of a catch up and this isn't particularly important, but I checked on Amazon and the memoir is still listedi can’t find the listing for her memoir on Amazon any more (but it’s still on Book Depository)
It’s tough isn’t it. I ‘lost’ my dad (heroin addict) many moons ago but really I’ve never had parents as my mum had severe depression and was always absent mentally and physically. I got over my dad at a young age but the lack of a real loving mother is something I can’t shake. Only positive is to ensure I’m much better myself as a mum.Babe, same. I should be over it by now but my Mummy took her life over 30 years ago and I still get a little twinge of jealousy when people talk about their funny, lovely mums x
Jenny Nums, you are evil AND despicable. The very best of usI LOVE being regarded as evil. Spices up the image, no end.
FFS, not him again.
Given the hardback and nice quality I think the book was meant to capitalise on her success of Daily Kitchen and subsequent TV and media work. Unfortunately Jack fucked all that up by being over a year late delivering the book, being beyond shit on every TV appearance she's done, making a complete clown of herself on social media, lying constantly and begging. If she'd actually put the effort in she could be quite successful but she didn't and here we all are.It’s hard to fathom that in 2023 Jack, or her publisher, expected to sell the book on pretty much her name alone.

I’ve cringed so hard at that my uterus fell out.FFS, not him again.
“A real page turner, a gentle rollercoaster ride from the dizzying heights of chesterfield sofas to most saddest lows of carrot and cumin burgers and right back up to the highest high….cotswolds company sideboards”I am in the middle of a catch up and this isn't particularly important, but I checked on Amazon and the memoir is still listed

dont be giving Jack recipe ideas plsI’ve cringed so hard at that my uterus fell out.
Yes, that's what I took it to mean.I presume they are confirming sb does not live there? (as we suspected)
Pathetic. He must have tweeted that then came straight here to see the reaction, and then back to Twitter to clutch pearls over us daring to discuss her “help fund my vital work” scam and disgusting cosplay as a marginalised person??That Smol Robots twat has been reading here and we've upset him. I find not visiting websites I don't like is generally the best cure for that sort of thing.
Sorry but not sorry on this one. She's a nasty piece of work and fair game as far as I'm concerned. I'm not insisting that anyone else takes part.I don't think it is fair to bodyshame a stan. There is a lot to criticise without resorting to her insulting her appearance.
Eta I insult neckbesrds, but that is an archetype they are choosing to portray.
Was a glioblastoma that got my dad too. Lots of love to youI'm so sorry Django. I get the same pangs. I'm 2/3 years older than Jack. My mom died of a glioblastoma almost 20 years ago.
Cancer Jack is a cunt who can get to fuck.
You could have used a spoiler. I’m trying to eat my lunch tenderstem!No squig, it really isn’t. And I’m a vegan lover of black beans. This is enough to put anyone off, looks like puréed baby shit. Like swallowing vomit, texture wise.
