From one single tweet we got both "my most recent FIL" and "crack on, pal". Great days haha.
I claim my fiver!!!!I do have a grey jumper
I mean, I'm pretty sure it never actually sold. In fact, I'd put money on her never even finishing it.
"Crafty" Jack is one of my (many, many) aneurisms. And totally shows her up for the arrogant egotist that she is. I've been sewing for over 30 years, and have produced a few really well-made pieces in that time. I would love to do it for a living, but I'm fully aware that I'm not consistently good enough, because it's a hobby that I fit around work and family, and it takes a huge amount of time and commitment to become proficient in creative/practical crafts. She's always been convinced that she can just turn her hand to anything, and automatically be the best ever at it. And I do think that's a result of her very middle class upbringing.
Anybody know what large and complex event(s) she catered for?!She was already a little pisspot on her blog way before the Guardian. Let’s not forget “the satirical comic twist that she writes with”

She was constantly bickering in the comments too. Her readers ALL KEPT MISSING THE POINT SHE WAS MAKING IN THE ARTICLE!!!
ETA For those of you who have never seen this, this is the BEST EVER (by miles!) Jack response to a reader letter that is a tad dickish, published in the local Southend paper YEARS after she’s become famous, after two books, Leggy, and just after she got the honorary doctorate. It’s so over the top it’s bleeping hilarious (AND it has photographic evidence of the arguments she’s making!). She even WARNS the Editor and the paper.You’re missing the point!

Dear Mr Farrington, The Mail believes oral sex and Pringles give you cancer. Maybe you shouldn't believe what they write about me either.
Dear Editor, It appears that your correspondent P. Farrington in Tuesdays Letters page has fallen foul of the first rule of Common Sense and Decency that is, do not believe a word that...web.archive.org
Babe, same! I posted something critical (but in a friendly tone) about him always bashing vegans. He came for me BTL and the CiF club lapped it up. I've been extremely cautious about posting anywhere but here since.Jay Rayner could be a bit of a fanny BTL. Which I may or may not have been subjected to
Many years later Jay wrote in his column that he has changed his stance etc. I read it as a personal apology to me, but rejected it, because I hold a grudge.
[Insert gif: Ariana "I reject that"]
97 person AA meeting in her back garden.
BIB this, but also the fact we have my-thered long and hard about how she is missing so many facets of normal adult human bean-ness (not rinsed) and the whys eg personality disorders etc. These have all been covered at length previously, but I am going to mention again that she clearly has something wrong with her eyes if she thinks that dress (and her food and her filtering efforts) look good.
The thumbs akimbo picture is back, hoorah!!!She was already a little pisspot on her blog way before the Guardian. Let’s not forget “the satirical comic twist that she writes with”

So much to unpick here, but mainly the answer to the question, “How can blogger call herself Dr?” She lists all of her many, ahem, accomplishments which she thinks justifies her use of the title, none of which is actually “I pursued and passed a course of doctoral study at a higher education institution”.
Picking up on the letter writer’s typo, from a person with the most rudimentary grasp of correct spelling, punctuation and grammar.
And finally, the much-used lefty trope of The Daily Fail’s association with fascism from 90 years ago. Note that she is happy to appear in the Express (1933, "Judea declares war on Germany: Jews of all the world unite in action") and The Mirror (1934, "Give the Blackshirts a helping hand”) with no such concerns.
What a wingnut.

Oh and Schrodinger’s Single Mum:
I'm happy for Rayner to be a mini or uber twit but please nobody tell me Grace Dent is!
I sometimes think Jack wanted to be Grace more than any others - makeup and 'fashion' etc
Only thing I've got against him is that he's been fox huntingOMG I missed that, the arrogant cow.
I love Adam Frost with a love that is pure - I will defend him to the death and am henceforth Frosty Defender.
As someone who ran an online beads and findings shop at that time
I would say almost certainly PJ Beads. Just went to try and find them in their catalogue and they retired and closed down last year, but I can still get onto the wholesale site. I think these are the cufflink blanks:http://www.beads.co.uk/wholesale_store/silver-plated-cufflinks-6929.html and while they're not on the site any more, I'm pretty certain they had a square red millefiore cabochon at some point, which is in the picture.
When she used to have a word cloud on her blog, her name featured more than anything else
Hello kindly Frauen & Herren
Long time grunker, first time poster, please be gentle with me. I solemnly swear that I am not Jack, from my understanding or recollection, as I've never in my life happened upon luxury goods in various puddles.
I was reading through this latest thread and had my aneurysm, as the locals say, when someone mentioned Guest's "craft" "business". I said to myself, I said, "if she's on about that time she spent hours arsing about with that bleeping tin, a hammer and nails go make a bleeping tea light holder when she coild have been using that time to, oh, I dunno send out a few bleeping postcards..".
I was relieved go hear it's thought she was actually talking about that "dress" she "made". Until I saw it. FFS, Guest.

Points 1 and 6 in that article make up a list of all those who should hang their heads in shame for enabling/encouraging an enormous, and likely criminal, fraud to be perpetuated for a decade.She was already a little pisspot on her blog way before the Guardian.
