O frabious day! Callooh, Callay! The Jackerwocky has delivered. I wrote a thing and it got nominated for a thread title by @TriviaNewtonJohn thanks babe. I have now completed Tattle. Thankyou and duck off.
Recap of thread #61
Jackās greatest love of alllll ... is Twi- i- tter
Sheās back with an avalanche, nay, a literal monsoon of tweets. You could say, the rains came.
Sheās joined Foodim, a social networking app on which users share their love for both food and photography. Her contributions so far are yet to convince of either.
Weāve seen a candid photo of days-gone-by Jack wearing a pair of ill-fitting fishnets and duck-me pumps, and another natural shot of her being a āmiserable cantankerous prick in a hammockā complete with sparkly slippers (from Tesco of course, duh). She cast a line for Marian Keyes and managed to boat the bass.
She found her smile in a mechanical fish cat toy, sheās been helping her son discover his love for 90s angst rock lyrics, and sheās committing wild maverick wizardry with a myriad of biscuits and Biscoff spread combos.
Tortured genius trope innit.

For new joiners to the thread, here is @Passive_Aggressive_Lemon ās āJack for Dummiesā post (edited to include updated info):
Thought it might be useful for new followers to have a post at the start of each thread with some info.

Thread no 31 is the infamous thread on which Jack turns up to talk to us directly. She makes her appearance on page 17.
For anyone wanting to re-live the glory days of her 2 week stint on Daily Kitchen Live (DKL): Threads 2-9
*** JACKISMS ***
Jackās most oft-used reply to questions on recipe substitutions:
Yes, absolutely x
Some other favourite Jack quotes:
āBabe, sameā
āI did a chaosā
āMy maverick brainā
āMy sad little faceā
āIām BUSYā
āI HOOTED / I am FIZZINGā
āI laughed up a lungā
One of Jackās followers once referred to Tattlers as sad hausfraus and Jack herself has likened us to a cabal. Therefore we have become the Cabal of Hausfrausā¢ļø. *She also recently referred to us as āgossip mavensā (so, we are gossip trusted experts)*
To āGrunkaLunkaā your way through a thread means to catch up on posts. Named after a member who rather epically caught up on many threads in a short period of time.
Jack once threatened to use her Liam Neeson skills to TRIANGULATE our whereabouts to intimidate us, so thatās what we mean by that.
Jack once sideboard modelled a Vivienne Westwood dress, seeming to infer that itās what Viv would have wanted (as if she were dead), and then got snippy when corrected otherwise. There may be some āRIP Vivā jokes (she is, of course, NOT dead)
We sometimes joke about being on Vladimir Putinās bitcoin payroll list for being evil trolls.
During her stint on Daily Kitchen Live, Jack produced a godawful looking lasagne, with a thin white sauce that never thickened up, just disappeared. It was widely likened to āhorse spunkā - there may be some horse āspiritā lasagne jokes.
Her last-uttered line to Matt Tebutt on DKL was: āThank you so Matt much, Mattā, which made us all HOOT.
Jack ended a tweet that listed her (not unimpressive) four-and-a-half GCSE results (A*, A, B, B, C) with: āNow duck offā. We sometimes like to use this in our own posts for comedic effect. We are NOT telling other fraus to duck off, simply paying homage to Jackās own genteel humour.
Also:
Here is a link to Jackās Tattle Wiki page, which also includes clips of Matt Tebutt muttering āTerrible!ā on Daily Kitchen Live, courtesy of @Yel) and @Bookweevil ās hilarious Glossary of Jack.
We are terrible for going off on tangents and using too many gifs, so there is another thread where we donāt discuss JM but instead talk about biscuits and stuff. For good light relief when JM is doing too much chaos, come to the Food & Drink threads in Off Topic.
