Oh no, I've somehow ended up on that bloody singing video again...her whispery voice around 5.05 just kills me

Your description was so compelling that I simply had to experience it for myself and bathe in all the wonderfulness that she’s sharing with the world.

(NB:- I’m no expert but I sing a LOT with choirs and amateur bands and lessons even!)

1. FFS, another rambling prologue basically consisting of ‘me, me, me, me’. Tedious, self-absorbed and annoying. Introduce yourself briefly, say a few words about the song, compose yourself and just get on with it, Jack. The narcissism is almost overwhelming.

2. Tremulousness aside, her voice is not bad, far from terrible. She’s in tune and quite pleasant although reedy and wobbly. This is solely because her breathing and voice support are all wrong, as evidenced by how much better she sounded when she drew a deep breath and sang properly. Watch some singing teachers on Youtube, Jack, because breathing and the outflow of air is sooooo important. With voice support you will have control, sound much better and gain confidence - the whisperiness can be when YOU choose to put it there.

3. (Why does she always stand like a cowboy ready to leap onto a horse?) Joking aside, a good balanced stance, legs a shoulders width apart is excellent for singing. Well done.

4. Despite my suspicion that this is all to feed her almost insatiable need for attention (which I am now giving her, what a sucker, eh?) it is a brave and exposing thing to do. So, Jack, find a teacher or watch videos to learn about and improve your airflow and you’ll be quite good. (Because no-one, even the naturally talented can achieve without putting the work in. Contrary to popular belief, singing isn’t ‘easy’, it really isn’t). Lessons and practice, babe, lessons and practice!

Hey fraus. Not going to say Jack’s response as she’s of course private, but somebody on twitter, non private, did comment on her nails. Heads did not roll as it’s all very jolly hockey sticks and chummy.

@GrunkaLunka I read your post at work today and it was brilliant, I couldn’t reply at the time but can now. It was insightful, factual and to the point - she can’t argue with a word you’ve said as the receipts are all here for any doubters.

One thing that was missed in the kitten saga was calling it Pretzel, and then changing it to Sophie (the name of Louisa’s beloved childhood pet) when it passed away, in order to try and get sympathy and attention from Louisa. Sounds really pathetic when you write it down like that doesn’t it?!

In peak lockdown when Daily Kitchen Live was happening this thread took off, and it was hilarious. At the same time podcasts were discussed. One of you learned Fraus introduced me to, ’The The One Show Show’, this podcasts rips it out of the BBC One Show, it’s hilarious in exactly the same way that this thread was hilarious about DKL. Horse Spunk lasagna and the jokes that spawned was a classic moment.

At the same time we were threatened by Saint Monroe with lawyers and court. I genuinely worried for the 5 minutes it took me to download said podcast and realise that if they could pretty much call Alex, One Show presenter, an alcoholic and rip the piss out of that show then we were ok.

There is genuine accountability, discussion, concern and hilarity in here that were it a podcast with male comedians presenting would probably have won awards or gone viral. (*Same goes for Mario Cleaner thread...the photoshops on there are special.)

I can’t see her tweets but am enjoying seeing her followers ask who the ringleaders of the gang are. Apparently she just has to say the word and they’ll hunt us down.

They’ll be quaking in their boots when they realise we have such menacing ringleaders as *checks notes* Pocahontas, Silver Linings, Grunka Lunka...think they’re going to have to hunt down Vlad instead to save face.

As an aside, was a supposed to get full leathers in order to become part of the menacing gang? Vlad never delivered them and I’m not sure if it was a punishment for being an unreliable Frau (or because of the novichok oopsies).

Fantastic post . Funny thing is, their heads are so up their own arses they wouldn’t have thought it through that we have all the receipts (on the lot of them) for anyone who wishes to see. Inevitably if they mention Tattle curious folk will come looking for themselves and make their own deductions.

Without triangulating myself too much my colleagues made some “how to” simple cooking videos for children and young people with disabilities during lockdown. They managed to learn how to FAST FORWARD the boring preparation bits.

I actually have a marrow and was looking for ideas but onions, chopped tomatoes and passata? How is that even Cypriot?
I’ve now found a recipe for slow cooked marrow with fennel and tomato on the BBC website which looks yummy.

We found a recipie a while back that used a Bolognese type sauce with mince and stuffed it into the marrow. It's really nice. Thought make sure you have some sort of Carbs. I didn't put any on as the marrow was massive and we were starving within about an hour

Are we allowed to post anything that is not private, or just steer clear?

From a mod pov you can post what you want from her account, it's not really private if hundreds of thousands of random people follow it.

Posting private accounts is not allowed when it's actually a private account, not someone having a strop and privating their public account for a few days

I’m veggie now otherwise I’d have been all over that! This one is served with sourdough bread (FANCY) and goats cheese!

I would've loved to see Jack open the floor to a question or two, on her own platform without risk of block or pile on by her following. Of course, she doesn't have to do that and can block any risky question-askers. That's why these threads are here, for those of us who notice and feel insane for it. She's an opportunist, and this is nothing more than a golden opportunity for a spot of victim playing. As always, this post is my opinion.

From an actual psychological viewpoint, then very definitely a Narcissist.
I've mentioned many times my history, I am a survivor of a Narcissistic Mother. I have diagnosed ptsd and spent many years in therapy.
The behaviour you describe is A Typical Narcissism. They love the drama. Your description of 'throwing a hand grenade' is spot on. In Narc terminology the phrase 'Flying Monkeys' is used to basically describe a Narc's minions.
Jack throws her grenade and runs off. If someone DARE to question her narrative she panics. Narcs are hardwired to only see their version of events and any sign of dissent just doesn't compute.
She has a tantrum and her Flying Monkeys appear. They then dogpile on whichever poor fool dared to question Saint Jackie. Several Fraus have had the unfortunate experience first hand and am sure will let you know how terrifying it is.
You do get such behaviour IRL too, it just can be a bit more tricky to spot unless you are in the middle of it.
