Congratulations to @Emmapism for the thread title! I believe this is your title cherry popped and I love that it ecapsulates the hill on which you choose to die

Recap of thread #82

  1. At night and in want of distraction, Jack Monroe needed something engrossing and HARD (her words, not mine) ... so she can now play and sing Bocelli’s Con Te Potato. Pie, Jesus Christ, Not Her Pie is next on the hit list of 2am piano burbling.
  2. She wants a recipe for a good foolproof softy soft soft pillowy soft soft softy lovely softy soft white bread. It has be pillowy softy soft soft soft soft.
  3. Her website was down (that darned Vlad) but do tweet her using the hashtag #suppernanny - which is a working title of a thing she’s working on, lol, surprise!
  4. Pie Jesus, her website is back up and running. It’s too late for that festering jar of black olives though. Just put them in the bin, mate.
  5. She spent the day cat napping all over her bungalow. What a delicious waste.
  6. She was bought a chippy tea - perhaps as a preemptive move to cease and desist. The liver has moved out by now and got its own pad.
  7. She made her Twitter public again, perhaps to allow full access to a photo of her wearing the kitten and nothing else, and one of her son in pants.
  8. What about the book, Jack? What about the booooook?
Please add any recap points that I have missed. I had to speed grunka and most of them were Alan’s gifs

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, 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 fuck off’. We sometimes like to use this in our own posts for comedic effect. We are NOT telling other fraus to fuck 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 fucking 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.

She can't help but insert herself into every drama can she? Even though it's nothing to do with her.

It's staggering.

JM and the ex Mr Billie Piper. Is is hard to work out who is more irrelevant.
Eta
although if they both entered a whinging twat contest, it would be pretty much a draw

Just think of those bargains Jack missed not going shopping today; botulism riddled stir fry veg, dinosaur feet, and rancid bircher pots. Hopefully they are now headed in the right direction, to be turned into biofuels.

Sorry but fuck off, what sort of mother lounges around “napping” all day, having not had her kid all weekend and then announces she doesn’t have any milk or bread. Lazy cunt they are the basics, wtf have you done all weekend except post shite on Twitter! If I had nothing else in the house milk and bread would always be there. She’s such an idle fucker!

I can’t quote from the last thread but I feel I need to point out - in the strongest terms - that I definitely do not love a titten. I feel a bit weird

I always have some bread product in the freezer, be that a loaf, tea cakes, buns, or crumpets. She has 3 of the fucking things what's in them? Maybe the book is hiding in the freezer like when Joey puts the Shining in there when he gets scared. Jack got scared of being a responsible adult so she's locked it away.
