To be honest, I knew he was a food critic, but until Saturday I wasn’t aware he was a cook/chef. In a way I wish Matt hadn’t saved him with the blender.
Same, because he had a right strop on and I wanted to see him lose it completely on live tv.

I wish we had a mole at Sarfend Council. No-one's even said a peep on Twitter. Disappointing 🙁
You say that, but on the Simon Harris thread the whole of Rockford council or whatever it is are constantly arguing and sniping at each other on socials and it’s very very boring. Honk!

She was so bad she didn’t even make it on the show. If Matt has any sense, he had her barred
I am as sure as I can be that the production company blacklisted her. And that was the beginning of the end. (And she thought she was going to be the new Nigella!)

Speaking of Jay, there was an incident where he was supposed to be interviewing her at some food festival (or was it Glastonbury? I can’t recall the details), and she ducked up her travel arrangements and left him hanging for hours. He had to improvise by interviewing some chef who was onsite instead.
That sort of thing doesn’t get you much goodwill.
Also, Jay was suppose to give a quote for her latest and most dreadful book - but this quote was withdrawn before publication as I recall.

The constant excuses, the pass-agg,
Read this is pass-egg and pictured the world's worst game of pass the parcel. 🍳

Anyhow, just wanted to highlight her line: in the spirit of Christmas, I read every single negative comment and my head hurts. It's peak emotional manipulation. Really disgusting how she tries to take advantage of people's empathy and make her (frankly, way too generous) supporters feel guilt for requesting basic transparency.

''Accountability? But it's Christmas!''

There'll be an employee code of conduct about usage of social media, not using it to bring the council into disrepute or witch about your colleagues. And if they're smart, they'll know that JM will be name-searching, ready to go running to teacher HR.

It was the Forward Festival in Bristol, September 2022.

Aren’t they streaming the meetings anymore?

Then she did the same to Billy Bragg. Either she didn't show or was late? It's definitely a pattern.

(Not having a go at adhd here. It’s very real in the Darvos household, so we make strategies.)

WFH today and just put some crumpets in to toast. Looked at their holes, thought of Jack, and laughed.

What a glorious world she's left us ninnies 😄

Hello all. Long time no post although I lurk relentlessly. Just reading the Mumsnet posts.

I’ve forgotten many things but is that Zoe poster Jack or a supporter? Posts deleted so who knows…

Wonder if Jack will be affected by these council cuts. I suspect not.

Iicr Zoe Eccentricity comes from the time Jack accidentally tweeted what appeared to be an order for 1g of c. Then in a very pathetic attempt at covering up pretended she had been pocket posting with a string of random numbers, letters and the hilarious name Zoe Eccentricity.

So could a troll with a long memory pretending to be Jack as I don't think Jack would want that brought back.

And we at least have the decency to be mortified!
