She is astoundingly bad at the clap back. She either over eggs the cake and says something completely out of order or just steals someone else's comment, for example when she told someone they were shouting at lunch; that came from Yorkshire Tea (I think) tweeting that someone was shouting at tea. She is not quick or witty.

My husband just turned 60
and seems young compared to Jack.On the High school mither: we used high school/secondary school/big school interchangeably when I was growing up in the west midlands. There were still middle schools in some nearby areas so it was middle school at 11 and then high school at 14ish.
The forever home beg in the front of Grifty Kitchen really hasn't aged well. I think she was so arrogant and delusional she thought her followers would have a massive crowd fund towards it when in reality they don't think enough of her to spend a tenner on her book. That tinkling noise is the sound of someone getting what they deserve.
Can we ever find out how many copies it sold?
Eleven?
Maybe she was mimicking big D
That’s NOT her FANNY!Crossed legs on the chair accidentally flashing her mary
I believe your exams are called highers?
Incidentally, here’s the tedious self indulgent wank that goes with this pic of her arms on backwards.
Just “came across this in my camera roll”
Just “came across this in my camera roll”
Kind of the opposite of an angel getting their wings
She likes to pretend that people are talking about her, constantly. More likely, she considered an irrelevance and is never mentioned
They used to be when I was at school. Standard Grade for GCSE and Higher for A level. Now they're called Nationals. Nat 5 and Nat 6 I believe
Fair point tenderstem. I'd have thought calling it 'blad de blah high school' OR 'my secondary school' would have been more usual though, as it's the name of the school, whilst still being a secondary/ grammar school in the UK.
And despite having 4 autistic (diagnosed!)/ SEN kids, two of whom are in specialist placements, I have to say I have never once referred to an educational psychologist as an 'ed psych'. Maybe it's more common among professionals in the field? Or maybe I'm just not cool enough. 🥲
It’s still astounding to me that in 2021 she was banging on about the time in 2014 where, when she was already living her best life in Leggy’s big London house, she used to yomp back to Southend Asda every week to SPITE-stare at a manager. A manager who’d briefly employed her about ten years earlier than this SPITE-staring and probably had the barest (if any) recollection who she was.
(ss from @Silver Linings)
Ditto the SPITE dedication to Borb in her embarrassing failure of a book, Grifty Kitchen.
A teacher she had TWENTY YEARS EARLIER and who (absolute bleeping nightmare though Jack is and apparently always has been), again likely barely remembers who she is, if she remembers her at all.
I’ve been watching ‘the following events are based on a pack of lies’ on BBC iPlayer.., I’m only two episodes in but…. Some familiarities’!!
What a load of tit she chats. I've only seen 1 person with a crowd as big outside the tent as in and that was that prick Frankie Boyle at V. A much bigger name and a much bigger festival. She's always the main character isn't she. God striking down the generator so no one had to eat her slop is surely a modern day parting of the red sea though.
This is hilarious
. Hard to pick a 'favourite' but the 'relaxed' pose on the sun bed is especially funny. (I remember the original. I mean who doesn't sleep like that, I ask myself )
Why would a supermarket manger frequently tell an employee they’d never amount to anything? I don’t believe for one moment that Borbora told Jack she was only good for flipping burgers, but at least teachers are meant to have a certain amount of vested interest in their pupils futures. There’s no earthly reason why a supermarket manager would care about the career prospects of one of their (many) employees. All they’re going to care about is the employee turning up on time and doing the job they’re being paid for, which it is doubtful Jack did.
I used to love it when i had social media when people who had maybe not posted on their own sm for a few days but had maybe openly commented on other peoples posts about mundane things and then the next minute they did a post on their own profile claiming they were still alive as people had been asking... you know behind the scenes. I always used to hoot and fizz to myself, thinking nobody bleeping noticed you had LEFT, as you were chatting tit on Barboras kids pic or they thought you were outside touching grass. I love how some peoplw think the whole world evolves around them and their tit posts on sm. In reailty no one gives a tit!
That whole episode was so weird. I don't have anything against quick marriage/engagement. But within just a couple of months of dating OH guest wanted marriage, we know this because it's when she started following wedding companies on Insta. Then she kept "hinting" that they were going to get engaged and buy a house. We don't know what she was like with OH himself but she's not subtle, she would have been bringing it up with him. The poster we had who knows OH said his brother was concerned that guest was a little too invested in the relationship. All this before they'd been together five months which is when the relationship ended. OH must be quite intelligent (he's got a C-suite job) but clearly guest isn't sharp enough to realise that if she lays it on thick with someone who's got money and wealthy parents he's going to think she's using him
