Recap of thread #80
Recap of thread #80
- She was shocked and outraged that her son wanted to walk home with his friends instead of her. No more 10p potato cakes and cooking scrap bacon breakfasts for him. SB: Okay.
- SB FOUND ONE OF HIS FIFTY bleeping COATS.
- See @colouredlines charming vignette of their imagined archaic domestic scene here.
- Just so you know, she doesn’t buy battery farmed anything. What’s that you say? Red Tractor? Don’t weigh her down with labels, asshole!
- She did it, she actually did it. She made the salad bag pesto. The bog of eternal stench in a bottle is just lovely poured over soup. Never has a bottle looked more threatening, even in certain pubs during the World Cup qualifiers.
- She inspired someone else to make it. For the love of god, people - don’t keep it in the fridge for 3-5 days, you are harbouring an actual biological weapon and it should be destroyed on sight.
- She’s discovered Hansard as a research resource and can’t stop going on about how amazing Hansard is, and if you don’t know what Hansard is then you are an idiot who is not as intelligent as her wot is writing a Big Important Book on Poverty, innit.
- The state of her cutlery drawers is twisting my melon, man.
- Lucky, lucky Jack Monroe was sent a smorgasbord of skin cream for her sawdusty-dry face. All that cream for one sad little face?
- What are your 3 top hacks/tips for focus and productivity? Jack puts her phone in another room. Mostly. (And unplugs her other one in the phone relay race of her life.)
- She has a £130-pair of Nike Trainers y’all. Don’t be saying she shouldn’t be spending that amount on shoes. It’s been raining a lot recently and she does really well with puddles, ok?
- She really, really has completed the Spring/Summer 2020 Cotswold Co. catalogue. Jackie, love - you’ve got a lot of bloody Cotswold. You’ll be causing a seismic shift in Southend soon.
- She had to get up early to do something today. No, no, not This Morning ... perhaps it’s The Photoshoot.
- Yikes, mcyikes, she’s had two hours sleep, she forgot to take her medication and she’s off to ‘quite possibly one of the biggest and best jobs of [her] very colourful and adventurous career so far. [She] has to be at her absolute maddest for it.’
- The drama! The intrigue! The passion! What could the job beeeeeeee???? Welcome to the Ongoing Saga of Jack Monroe and This Thursday Morning.

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.

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, bullying ninnies, and malign, vicious bullies **
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.*

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.
