Christ, I just read it. Awful, just awful. The usual overblown cliches & the truly cringeworthy sucking up. Imagine Marcus Rashford’s embarrassment at reacting to this little nobody wanging on about herself-the silence was him thinking you’re an attention seeking, boring weirdo Guest. HTH.
And making squashed baked bean & turkey meatballs? Those poor kids.
The way she implies he's cowed by her presence is just unbelievable. It's 1 of the worst things she's ever written. You can't help but be left with the impression that she finds herself so very worthy and generous for bigging up a black man. 'Bashful' ffs. He's a successful professional sports star not a boy knocking to take her to a drive in movie in 1953. Patronising wallop.

Welcome to newbies.

Ninnies, I’ve missed you and thankspaceyou for making me belly laugh from afar the last 6 months (I deleted my account in a panic after an accidental 🍉. Probably an error in hindsight).

Without taking over old ground too much, the creation of “guest” (must be lowercase) was honestly my favourite thing ever and had me laughing for weeks and weeks and weeks. It must have hit her ego SO hard. Whoever was behind it, as an accidental (or maybe not?) Frau deserves a lifetime of good karma and may no slop ever touch their lips.

It’s been strange everything being so quiet on the guest front, but it’s nearly Tuesday so I’m sure she will manage to prise her phone out of Ade’s hands to deliver a chaos worth waiting for.

Good afternoon ninnies
I'm not planning to invade your threads too much but after following these threads for about 6 months!! Since the suelee stuff started flying around twitter and I have just been and wanted to say thanks!!
Personally I never paid much attention to jack, I tried one of her recipes (slow cooker bread) that was rubbish and forgot she existed until she was suddenly all over GC twitter being a non binary transmasc lesbian who was also posing in ten tons of slap on Facebook. I thought she was a bit of a tit and thought no more. Then molly started trending and I was hooked on the saga of guest...I've read a lot of the wiki and mind blown!

Afternoon Ninnies,
My (inexplicable egg) cup runneth over today!
We were out and about this morning and ended up in a charity shop. Ms.Stringy said "I could do with an egg poacher"
"You mean an...egg ring" I said.
Fraus, much as I love Ms.Stringy I'm ducked if I'm sanding down a tuna tin.
She'll have to make do with a large crimped pastry cutter instead.
Wavy edged eggs.😵💫

She thinks she's Carrie from Sex and the City but she's actually Miranda from And Just Like That.
She’s the annoying one that Miranda is shagging who everyone hates.

Not only is it a full moon tonight, fraus, it’s a super moon. Hope nobody is planning an early night.

On a funnier note, binkbonk's video on the slopalong thread is revisited regularly by my OH.
He is fully invested and asks every day what the beep has been up to.

Who can forget the GQ companion piece to Jack patronising Marcus in a fairly dubious way?
The GQ article a bit later with Marcus and Fingers Kerridge where they almost openly mock the whole meatball experience 🤭

Marcus on being asked about it. Doesn't sound like something he wants to be reminded of.

And this final paragraph 😂

I do not have ADHD but I do this all the time. Why do some people (including Jack) attribute normal behaviour to being ADHD?

I can be on the phone and the person I'm talking to mentions an actor; I will be looking them up whilst chatting away. It's more to do with the amount of information at your fingertips on the Internet.
Same and if I'm interested in a subject I want to know as much as I possibly can about it. I am very cynical of this contemporary thing of pathologising personalities. It's ok to be shy, to have a small circle, to have a strict routine - it doesn't require a special label. Personalities go in trends like everything else. Now that we're all supposed to be dynamic go-getters with Instagramable lives the introverted are being othered in a way I find quite unsettling. Should go without saying I of course accept autism and adhd as real conditions that cause intense struggles for some. I just also think sometimes kids who don't fit the parameters or expectations their parents have made for them are being hastily set on a diagnostic pathway. 'Oh he has poor impulse control'. Well of course he does, he's 9.

As I said in my original post, I hadn't paid much attention to the detail and that's what I think she relies on.
Especially with the amount of dirty deleting that she does.
Most of us don't live online like she does although I must admit that I do check Tattle regularly since guest came onto my radar last year.
I'm particularly enraged by her appropriation of numerous disability labels for personal reasons.
The only positive is that I get a Spidey sense tingle when I see even a hint of of a grift online these days.

We have a sudden wave of newbies... either Tattle has opened its doors, or a frau is flogging codes on the black market 🤔.

Welcome new frauen 😊 ❤
I've been waiting a year to vent my rage.
I am a year shy of sixty so you could class me as a rage nan. I'll never be a nan (more of a weird great aunt).

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.
I'd love to know how many drafts GQ had to send back with a gentle reminder that the article was supposed to be about Marcus, not Jack. You just know she tried to shoehorn in even more of her prehistoric origin story than made it into the finished piece.

I remember her retweeting her own tweet about the video about a dozen times, too. 😬

Not like Rashford is used to thousands of people screaming abuse at him every week, though it's probably preferable being told you're tit in song form than spending an afternoon with guest.

Marcus Rashford is 5ft11. Guest, as she liked to remind us, is 5ft1. How small is his head if she's barely up to his shoulder in six inch heels?? Also how is she even standing up in them with her poor ouchy i-walk-with-a-stick joints? It's all such nonsense.
