Going back a little to the hair dye post, has she explained how she has stairs in a bungalow? Man I've needed to ask that a while.

Was once a friendly follower of hers but became V suspicious when watching the Suelee stuff live.
It's a dormer bungalow, so has one or two rooms upstairs in the roof.

(Personally I don't understand why houses like these get called bungalows when every other 1.5 storey house doesn't but, it is a thing)

Lads! My mum is moving to a flat so getting rid of a lot of stuff. Look what I got!

EGG RINGS!

She was going through a box of stuff and said ‘I don’t even know what half of this is. What the hell are these for?’
I distracted her and didn’t answer but said I’d take them. These are my inexplicable egg rings. 😎
Your mum did a fantastic job sanding down that tuna can.

I wonder if guest donated her enormous award to Migrant Rescue? Or at least 5 grand of it? Or 5p? :unsure:

Answers on a postcard please . . . .
Doubtful, she used migrants for cash here. Secure in the knowledge hopkins would not give to a charity she despises.

Aksssshhhhewly it's a chalet bungalow. A dormer bungalow has a specific type of window called a dormer that protrudes from the roofline. A chalet bungalow has loft rooms that do not alter the roofline.

Aren't I a big headed know it all? (Not really, I am a retired surveyor🔺)

I'm so accustomed to seeing the watermelon that I didn't notice the triangle, and thought you'd missed a trick #Jacklife

good GRIEF there’s more plot holes in that than an ITV drama

SB is “inexplicably” football mad,yet he’s a Liverpool fan “due to his fathers influence”

Guest is impressed that Marcus doesn’t get a single dot of flour on his sleeves but two paragraphs laters refers to his “flour covered shoes”

mad that she can remember so vividly THE POV from over ten years ago but can’t remember what she’s written 6 sentences earlier.

Also, she’s describing him like he’s 8 years old and then implying they’re flirting? It’s creepy

She makes Rashford sound like an idiot. Wonder what he thought of her right up. Or if he even bothered to read it, as I imagine she’s of little consequence to him.

long time grunker and lurker, first time poster! just wanted to stick my head in and say hello to the canal, can't wait to get stuck in with the next chaoi but mostly need to let you all know that you're a stellar and compassionate bunch and reading these threads for the last 8ish months has been extremely eye opening both for the capacity of uplifting kindness here and also incredible feats of bleepness from the titular tit herself.

I won't bore you all with my own tale of how I came across Jack Monwoe but I'm so happy to finally be here among fellow frauen.

back OT - the “flirting” in the excerpt above is too much. she thinks she's Carrie from Sex and the City but it's more Slop and Gritty 😭

Hi, I love your name. It sounds like Jack's take on a classic Aussie dish.

Guest, perhaps you should have a think about why you have to shout several times to your family before they will "deign" to come down for one of your cooked breakfasts.

Constantly stirring is the opposite of what you should do anyway. Leave them to sit, and stir gently two or three times whilst cooking - the only "secret" is to take them off the heat just before they're fully cooked.
I swear by a splash of cold water in the scrambled eggs. I also make them with butter and cream because I am Henry VIII

Oh no, we LOVE an origin story - how/when did you realise she was a complete and utter wrong 'un?

She was thinking of herself as a contemporary of his, or in the least, a youthful smexy older woman he could look up to. He probably put her in the same bracket as his slightly weird auntie that his mum insists he's nice to.

It started on a cold and dare I say sloppy night…

Years ago, someone linked to her on Tumblr - this must have been 2015-18 as a woman who’d been living in absolute poverty and her recipes could help those in similar straits, etc. The post got quite popular, made the rounds, I clicked on it as I was curious and remember reading through the recipes and pondering trying some myself (I wasn’t in the best of financial circumstances at the time and needed to make cash stretch). I regret to say I never tried anything as perhaps tht would have opened my eyes sooner!


Forgot about her for a long time and then re-remembered her on Twitter in about 2020 when she was bleeping on about how she had lost a lot of income due to the pandemic. I followed her as I felt sorry for her (I was waiting to hear if I’d be furloughed at the time - not to 🔺 but I worked for a coffee shop that cba to close until the final hour whereas everyone else had closed the week prior) and didn’t think too much about her. I remember witnessing the disabled cat in real time and that horrified me so I unfollowed as it made me feel deeply uneasy to see things like that with her showing no remorse.

Put her to the back of my mind again as unlike Monwoe I am BUSY and ACTUALLY WORK 100 HOURS A WEEK (I do not but in the third sector 🔺 it frequently feels like that). And then I think in September 2022 I saw something she’d said about the torrent of abuse she was receiving from her deepest darkest haters, and I thought… where is this abuse? because a quick skim of her ✨ comments club ✨ didn’t show anything like that. I can’t remember what I googled but I came cross Tattle (had never heard of it prior to stumbling across these threads like a parched adventurer crawling to an oasis) and the rest was history.

I’ve basically had my face pressed against the window not unlike Guest at the TV/media industries except I’m well-mannered, tidy, have great fingernails and am an OK cook but haven’t made a career off selling slop. And now I’m here! I think the most eye opening thing for me has been all the stories of woe - the chewing her lip but it’s actually filler made me gasp (I know nothing about botox filler the beauty industry etc) and the Mrs Gloss stuff… my jaw hit the floor!

A recommendation for frauen here is the podcast “Sweet Bobby” if you haven’t listened to it as a lot of the behaviour in there reminded me of Guest when I was listening to it last week.

Go well! Don’t forget large lashings of black pepper on everything - the fix-it staple of the kitchen x

I want some of whatever the commissioning editor at GQ was smoking when they greenlit this article.

It's the most embarrassing, patronising pile of garbage I've ever read. He had no clue she was. Probably thought she worked in the school canteen. No shade on the brilliant people who do, just that she's such a nobody who had no business being within 100 feet of someone like MR.

It's so bad, too, because if she was an actual activist it's a great opportunity to publicise and make good contacts for whatever causes or charities you represent. But all she has to talk about is herself.

Imagine turning up at school and guest is the school cook. No obesity problem at that school.

And again Jack showing her a & absolute lack of a sense of humour. Just how is this even remotely funny? I don’t know if this is worse or better than her laughing hysterically at that stupid flapping fish toy. So embarrassing-poor Marcus having to put up with her manic sucking up & hysterical laughing at nothing.
