I missed that Squiggle replied. Poor thing.

Jacj , empathy. Two words you don't expect to see in the same sentence, unless separated by ' has no,', and it is nothing to do with her supposed autism

Why is she hashtagging bottled lemon, for god's sake? Also, forgive my ignorance, but what's POBP?

 

[Lumpyspaceprincess]

She should go to the co-op and get their freezer deal for the week.

Piss Off Book Publishers?

It’s probably one of her really funny jokes.

It took me a second, but i believe it's Plenty Of Black Pepper... see, it's not a thing

Is that soup? It looks like a salad and faijitas

 

[NellieBoo]

POBP is Porcine Oderant Binding Protein according to Google. Oh Jackamo .

Stop trying to make fetch POBP happen.

That looks suspiciously like butter on the mouldy bagel. But of course, she doesn't have butter. Could it be ... LARD?

My kids favourite tuna thing was just with pasta.
Quick, cheap, easy and zero effort for a midweek tea.
Boil up pasta and drain. Add some frozen sweetcorn. Add can of tuna. Stir in some mayonnaise.
Not exciting but easy peasy and cheap, not to mention edible.

I’ve definitely found my people!!
This is one of my favourite cheat dinners.
Another favourite is spaghetti, stir in a packet of Boursin and top with finely cut (with scissors for ease) bacon, fried to perfection

Oh I just love looking through all the terrible recipes on her website. The intro to that sausagne abomination is a very interesting insight into how much Jack hates cooking. Like, truly hates it.

...I made lasagne the other night. One pan for mince/tomato/veg mix, one pan for white sauce, one dish to layer it all in and throw in the oven. A chopping board and knife. A couple of wooden spoons. Maybe I made it wrong though bc there wasn't any carnage and we started it early enough that by the time we were properly hungry it was ready so, I think I need some tips from our top expert on how to do it dramatically right next time

 

[Marmalade Atkins]

Is she trying to own 'plenty of black pepper' like we own 'hausfraus'?

Also, #bottledlemon is the greatest hashtag ever and I'm sure it's searched by thousands daily.

Pee. On. Bad. People. Yes? No? I give up.

I wondered - what feels like 3,000 threads ago - if anyone knew why JM lost the Guardian column. All has now become clear! ‘People would do well to remember...’ is a particular favourite, although clearly it only applies on this one occasion as JM’s career rests precariously on people not remembering anything she’s claimed about her past in any detail.

Babe, get over the wine thing Saving this as a riposte to Mr Bookweevil the next time I make a squiffy tit of myself!

She can’t handle criticism in the slightest and can’t help herself but to answer with ridiculous levels of not only bitter vinegar-y spite but also unprofessionalism.

She probably thinks it comes across as clever or that people won’t mind, she’s just ‘standing up for herself’ problem is it comes across as childish and pathetic. Because it is.

She thinks she’s incredibly maverick at times, but she can’t see the line between maverick and unprofessional.

 

[Icing _on_ the_cake]

Omg fraus, what have I just found? Under this old Guardian recipe of hers, Jack spotted someone making critical (but correct) comments and replied! Have you ever seen the likes of it?

Some things never change.

I mean, they're not wrong on the brown thing.

Also, if only...

Here's a little tidbit from her Allegra days:

No. And as I have said many times before, I would not even consider entering That House until my children are older. At the moment I'm enjoying putting them to bed, reading them stories, cuddling them until they fall asleep, without writing off three evenings a week. Our family already has to plan our diaries with military precision, and there is more than enough evening work already. I also think that if people elect an MP they expect them to do their day to day constituency work, not gallivant about on television and up and down the country with cooking projects. So right now, no, I'm not looking to stand for Parliament, or council, or anything like it.

She'd been with her partner for five minutes and was already assuming the part of parent over the other child.

She was Perpetuating the harmful “u-haul lesbian” stereotype as always

Just took a quick peek at her patreon. Looks like there's been no real exclusive content on there since early August; there was a post earlier in Sept, but it looks like a basic update about postcards being in the post. Her $4 a month tier promises discount codes , plus access to the exclusive content, so those on that tier aren't receiving much for their pledge this month. As a comparison, I pay $4 a month to subscribe to a podcast which has put out two hour long, researched patreon-only episodes in September alone.

Her Patreon seems like an utter scam, esp when compared with the content you can get from other people.

Just putting this here for the reference to Jack's grandfather's restaurant, chip shop and his guest houses (plural).

what I'm getting from this is that her grandfather offer rooms homeless people off season in exchange for housing benefit.
