Always amazes me that Jack is my age, yet the tit she’s spunked her money on is the sort of stuff my granny would buy if she had a win on the pools.

My internet broke the other day so I had crap daytime TV on in the background. There were so many ads for Cotswolds in between commercials for funeral plans, stairlifts and cruises. So punk. Much edgy.
Jack missed a trick in not crowdfunding a stair lift to get her ouchy, crumbling bones upstairs.

I imagine she keeps all her horrible chipped charity crockery and the rusty spoons which she buys in bulk for £120 off ebay in her expensive sideboards.
Although her 'crockery wardrobe' was all on shoe racks wasn't it? Sideboards must be full of receipts. Or snow.

Firstly, condolences to dragon for the loss of their sister 💔

Onto Jack and her RA:

Her GP said it SEEMS she has RA. She cried a lot (assume that’s the photo on the left *cringe*) but onwards and upwards; she’s putting her best face forward.

Every single thing I’ve ever read about this woman confirms to me she has nae pals.
How can something be not a surprise but can also be a massive, massive shock. Is this another example of Schroedinger’s Jack?

That's an old photo though. She'll have skipped all of that and then .... bought more. Jack won't be short of stuff to fill her sideboards.

Did she ever do like an official diagnosis announcement? (Seems like the sort of thing she’d do)

Happy VBI day ninnies.

Sorry if this has been covered, but what does Jack (or other people) keep inside the sideboards? I am a sideboard-less Frau and nobody I know has the space or cashos for sideboards. Please educate me!
My parents keep the good table linen, crockery, serving dishes and glassware in one, board games, DVDs and photo albums in another.

And happy anniversary to this post (and the many like it that followed), moments after the VBI was announced.
Excellent.
Tbh I didn't think Jack would be *quite* as useless about the VBI as she has been.
I knew she would lose interest rapidly once the enormity of the task became apparent, and she actually had to do some hard graft instead of just talking about it on the media, but to do absolutely duck all for a year whilst lying that she was working on it and had nearly finished it 😂 exceeded even my expectations of her greed and laziness.

She's such a tease pretending any legal action is happening!

Imagine opening up her finances to scrutiny, would be better than her appearing on prancing ice.

"no m'lord I don't earn more than the PM, my accounts for last year show 72'000. As my persona is based on begging for cash because I say I can't afford to turn on the lights on my income has been affected by this"

:LOL:

It might very well be true that some months she's out earned the PM - based on PM element alone of 80k a year.

It seems right and fitting that the tweet that launched the VBI is shown here again today in all its glory.
Tweet. We salute you 🖖

It really grinds my gears that she associated the name of Terry Pratchett with her foolishness. Sir Terry was a clear-eyed pragmatist who had spent a decade in journalism before starting to write his books, and he had very little in the way of misty-eyed sentimentality about people, business, politics and their motivations. He would have looked at this, thought "Uh-huh, what's in it for you, Jack?" and probably phoned his publisher to tell them to stop this random Twitterer profiting off his characters name, toot-sweet. He did not like people trying to use his work for their own aims, not one bit. (There's a reason there were very, very few licensed products or other big-scale media productions of his books in his lifetime: he didn't trust people not to twist it into something else to suit their vision. There's been a few TV things produced after his death that have proven just how wise he was to keep such a tight grip on his work)

Also, many of his books involve conmen, grifters, or chancers who saw an opportunity of dubious morality and snatched at it. Sometimes they reformed, sometimes they were so rotten at it they were a mere amusement to the characters (Mr "Cut-Me-Own-Throat" Dibbler is a notable example), but mostly, their sins found them out.

I suppose that's why his books were fantasy: the fools and wrong'uns always got their just desserts in the end. Real life is not so satisfying.

I do hope Jack checks out Tattle today and sees how much love is being given to her never appearing project, and tweets an update for all the VBI fans awaiting its release., She worked tirelessly throughout last year on it, c’mon Jack cherish this day, give us a tweet about it 🙏🏾

Look at her working away last year….

Or she could have just used trolley.co.uk where you can enter the product and get a detailed graph of the price over the year, and can even see the price changes in the different supermarkets. I don’t think Jack understands how data works though.
I remember the trolley twitter account actually reached out to Jack at the time and naturally she ignored them because she never really intended to create a VBI. She just wanted the adoration.

I KNEW IT #noarthritistruther

I went to the doctor with a lump in my eyebrow. Hard like a pea. He said it could be a cyst or at the absolute worst a very small tumour but to assume it’s a cyst until tests come back. So clearly I told everyone I had eye cancer and vowed to live my life as bravely as I could and I never went back to the doctor.

No, that’s not true, I went to a specialist who told me it was a particularly bad ingrown hair caused by eyebrow plucking, arranged for day surgery and that was that.

She doesn’t have bloody RA she’s manifested it from a comedown or carpal tunnel from tweeting crap and is rinsing it for the £ and the disabled label she’s APPLIED TO HERSELF

Annoyed.
