Whenever @Pocahontas posts about ā€˜making a new threadā€™, I picture this stitching together going on behind the scenes while the fraus gaze on in slack-jawed admiration through the curtains.

Pocahontas' recap has got me wondering again about something in the last thread - why 20 pieces? That's 5 x 4. The obvious way to cut a sandwich into tiny squares is 16, cut it into quarters and then each quarter into a quarter. Five equal cuts down one side is much harder.
Youā€™re forgetting she talks absolute drivel dear heart

She's so cunning!
She sure thinks she is šŸ˜¬. Worth noting that arnica really only helps with the actual appearance of bruising if you get that tit on there immediately after the bump. Since she didn't mention it and most certainly would have considering we were given the details of the cold compress right down to it being a Magnum, I'm gonna reach and say she didn't have it on there.

I'm surprised she didn't blend it and drink it.... I have made myself feel nauseous at the thought.

I got some screenshots of the MN thread before it got zapped (probably not all of it though) Am I allowed to post them here? šŸ¤”
tbh I would just share them as I canā€™t think of any rules it breaches? Also imagine the mods float in / out of this thread as itā€™s one of the most active so will delete anyway? šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

Never fear, dear Dogmuck you are always the original OfPocahontas. Sadly, my heart couldnā€™t resist the subtle but undeniable charms of my new pirate bride ā¤

Recap of thread #67

Oh dear, what can the matter be?She proved us all wrong with photos from A & E



  1. Well, she went to the hospital. And was given a lollipop CAT scan and eye patch for her woes. Sheā€™s not going to post any more selfies until it heals (or she pushes the boat out for some next day delivery yellow and green snazaroo).
  2. She posted a collage of photos to prove that she was in triage, with the tender caption of ā€˜Here you go. Now get fucked.ā€™ Must have been the gas and air talking, sheā€™s usually so mild mannered.
  3. She couldnā€™t really see out of her right eye but still took a pile of work books (Twitter and Tattle), because Jack Monroe is ALWAYS working.
  4. Hallelujah, she got a version of ā€˜Oh, no. Whatā€™s up, hun? Iā€™ll DM you?ā€™ from her ā€˜momā€™. So, it was all worth it.
  5. In addition to cabal and coven, we can possibly also add ā€˜conspiracy wankersā€™ and ā€˜obsessive group of completely unhinged bulliesā€™ to the loving terms of endearment bestowed on us by Jack.
  6. Praise beans, her eye socket was not fractured, just ā€˜bashedā€™. Itā€™s still very sore though, ok? And purple and red and yellow - basically all the colours of the rainbow.
  7. Despite having to cut her sandwiches into twenty tiny squares earlier in the day, she ā€˜hoofedā€™ a packet of cheap sliced white when she got home from the hospital.
  8. She went to the park today with her son and posted a completely candid and natural shot of their backs. Real question is, who took the photo? šŸ¤”
  9. Sheā€™s watching Supermarket Sweep. What about the book, Jack? What about the conference? šŸ˜¬
  10. Too late, sheā€™s BUSY criticising the appearance of food bank donation boxes and calling them ā€˜propsā€™. Once again, she is failing to see the bigger picture, but at least Rylan is attempting to explain this to the sulky toddler in her yellow macintosh. #teamrylan
  11. Sheā€™s 5ā€™ 1.7ā€.
  12. She back-pedalled faster than a swan on ice and contradicted everything sheā€™d said earlier about food bank donation boxes used as props. You know what, she loves Rylan and she loves Supermarket Sweep, so absolutely get fucked.
For new joiners to the thread, here is @Passive_Aggressive_Lemon ā€˜s ā€˜Jack 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.
Limegoss article about Jack v Jamie Oliver : https://limegoss.com/jack-monroe-jamie-oliver/

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 ***

Jackā€™s most oft-used reply to questions on recipe substitutions:

Yes, absolutely x

Some other favourite Jack quotes:

ā€˜Babe, sameā€™

ā€˜I did a chaosā€™

ā€˜My maverick brainā€™

ā€˜My sad little faceā€™

ā€˜Iā€™m BUSYā€™

ā€˜I HOOTED / I am FIZZINGā€™

ā€˜I laughed up a lungā€™
šŸ„“
One of Jackā€™s 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 ā€˜gossip mavensā€™ (so, we are gossip trusted experts)*

To ā€˜GrunkaLunkaā€™ 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 thatā€™s what we mean by that.

Jack once sideboard modelled a Vivienne Westwood dress, seeming to infer that itā€™s what Viv would have wanted (as if she were dead), and then got snippy when corrected otherwise. There may be some ā€˜RIP Vivā€™ jokes (she is, of course, NOT dead)

We sometimes joke about being on Vladimir Putinā€™s 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 ā€˜horse spunkā€™ - there may be some horse ā€˜spiritā€™ lasagne jokes.

Her last-uttered line to Matt Tebutt on DKL was: ā€˜Thank 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: ā€˜Now 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 Jackā€™s own genteel humour.

Also:
  • She grew up in a 5 bed (mortgaged/owned) house
  • She got a Ā£4.5k Omega watch for her 21st
  • Her dad's a bleeping LANDLORD (an oldy, but a goody)
  • Jack and Louisa are no longer in a relationship - in Jackā€™s words: ā€˜She [Louisa] leftā€™.
  • Her record for staying off Twitter since the start of these threads is 114 hours and 47 minutes.
  • She is 90% vegan. The other 10% likes to nom nom on Five Guys burger and discounted chicken slices.
  • During her appearance on DKL, she was asked why some mince has a higher fat content. ā€˜It just does.ā€™

Here is a link to Jackā€™s Tattle Wiki page, which also includes clips of Matt Tebutt muttering ā€˜Terrible!ā€™ on Daily Kitchen Live, courtesy of @Yel) and @Bookweevil ā€˜s hilarious Glossary of Jack.

We are terrible for going off on tangents and using too many gifs, so there is another thread where we donā€™t 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.
We are not worthy, Pocahontas.
Knocked it out the park again. With these recaps you are spoiling us xxxxx
