Recap of thread #70

  1. Seeing as both her Twitter and Instagram are still set to ‘private’, we’ve still not posted screenshots. So it’s been quite wonderful. We have found inner peace. Om.
  2. She has been posting new videos on YouTube. As the videos are in the public gaze, and therefore fair game, the frauen have been voicing their thoughts on them. The general theme is bafflement.
  3. She has been exploring her love of pop art by favouring the cartoon filter, coupled with a certain jaunty and harrowing brand of merry-go-round muzak.
  4. She’s been brandishing and sharpening knives, and chopping onions, tomatoes and leeks, all with the same lazy but frenetic energy of someone tasked with defusing a bomb but who doesn’t really want to do a proper job of it.
  5. The less we say about fish finger lasagne and her infamous blended ‘bechamel’, the better.
  6. If you are new to these threads, or have come here powered by vitriol and outrage (or curiosity) that there are 70-plus threads on Jack Monroe, please see the intelligent, insightful and reasoned posts by our resident first interstellar pilgrim @GrunkaLunka here and our resident Kris Jenner @heretoreaditall2019 here.
  7. @blurstoftimes also created a perfect example of how easy it is to produce a simple, appetising and charming how-to-make-some-food video here.
Please add any other recap points I have missed!

For new joiners to the thread, here is @Passive_Aggressive_Lemon ‘s ‘Jack for Dummies’ 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 #31 is the infamous one in which Jack turns up to talk to us directly. She makes her appearance on p. 17.

For anyone wanting to relive the glory days of her two-week stint on Daily Kitchen Live (DKL), have a grunk a through threads 2-9.

*** JACKISMS ***

Jack’s most oft-used reply to questions on recipe substitutions:

Yes, absolutely x

Some other favourite Jack quotes:

‘Babe, same’

‘I did a chaos’

‘My maverick brain’

‘My sad little face’

‘I’m BUSY’

‘I HOOTED / I am FIZZING’

‘I laughed up a lung’
🥴

One of Jack’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 Hausfraus™️. She also recently referred to us as ‘gossip mavens’ (so, we are gossip trusted experts). ** Recent additions to her terms of endearment for Tattle: conspiracy wankers, obsessive groups of completely unhinged bullies, and bullying ninnies **

To ‘GrunkaLunka’ 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 (and is also a fearless pioneer of the space-time continuum. She really was here both Now and Then).

Jack once threatened to use her Liam Neeson skills to TRIANGULATE our whereabouts in order to intimidate us, so that’s what we mean by that. * She may also threaten to take us to court - do not be afraid, this is not the first time and it won’t be the last. *

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

We sometimes joke about being on Vladimir Putin’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 ‘horse spunk’ - there may be some horse ‘spirit’ lasagne jokes.

Her last-uttered line to Matt Tebutt on DKL was: ‘Thank you so Matt much, Matt’, 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: ‘Now duck off’. 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 Jack’s own genteel humour.

*Back in the mists of time, one funny frau used a Jimmy Nail ‘She’s Lying’ picture to illustrate their thoughts on one of Jack’s latest tales. @Alpha Beta thought it was Novak Djokovic, the cabal hooted and Novak Nail was born. You may see reference to Jimmy Nail, Novak Djokovic, or the combination of both: Novak Nail. All demonstrate that she’s lying.*

Also:
  • She grew up in a 5-bed (mortgaged/owned) house
  • She got a £4.5k Omega watch for her 21st birthday
  • Her dad's a bleeping LANDLORD (an oldy, but a goody)
  • Jack and Louisa are no longer in a relationship - in Jack’s words: ‘She [Louisa] left’.
  • 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. ‘It just does.’
  • The information held on her by Companies House has her year of birth WRONG. She was born in 1988, not 1978.

Here is a link to Jack’s Tattle Wiki page, which also includes clips of Matt Tebutt muttering ‘Terrible!’ on Daily Kitchen Live, courtesy of @Yel) and @Bookweevil ‘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 don’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.

Another song

I'm your private chancer
A chancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your private chancer
A chancer for money
And any old music will do
I wanna make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea

Excellent. At least Tina Turner had fantastic legs. Chancer is exactly what JM is. Anything other than do a conventional job. Unfortunately, when the economy tanks due to Covid, Jack has already inserted herself into the poverty niche as a 'name'.

Well that'll teach me not to log on during the day.....these threads gallop along!!!
To catchup...
Please please tell me she hasn't got a puppy. If she has I'm ringing the bleeping RSPCA.
I can't remember the Frau who posted it but that video was fab and now I want to eat those beans!!
I seem to remember lifelong Groucho membership being a gift from Allegra. Even with 'free admission' the food is eyewateringly expensive.
Apparently 'Michael Fassbender' is the ultimate Lesbian test (according to Jack) If you can touch him and not be turned you are officially a lesbian. (Yes, she actually said this)
Is mucking around in a park considered work? Because you know she works 20 hours a day....

@MooBelle Thankfully that puppy belongs to a comedienne she saw the other night. It does appear she is using the dog’s existence to befriend Lulu, her owner,

Good afternoon conspiracy wankers! (imagine Robin Williams saying it and you get the gist)

Pulling up a chair in the new thread.

Having a horrible hormonal day today. I've been on the verge since waking up this morning. Barely any work has been done. Ugh.

Jack is going to have the tip jar ratting in force this week. Has to keep up to date on the latest Vapormax (which may I add to entirely against her Instamum look 🙄)

Well, I don't know about any of you guys but I've certainly never seen anyone quite that excited about..err, brown things, orange things or green things.

I am stupidly excited about this vid but can’t bring myself to watch it...

ETA got 55 seconds in and gave up the will to live. What is this tit? duck me she’s getting desperate. On that note, the reactions to her posts on twitter are dwindling...her post announcing the unboxing is 18 minutes old right now and has zero comments and only a handful of likes. It can’t be long before she unlocks.

That filter is awful I know but she looks really strange, maybe it's mania, booze or whatever but there's something odd about her. Take it that's an ad/sponsored post.
