Recap of thread #94
Recap of thread #94
- She uploaded a photo of âherselfâ. Oh, Jack, you look so young! Good skincare, big window, 3 litres of water a day, innit. Oh, Jack, what big eyes you have! All the better to fleece you with, my dear.
- She is cross at all the âsentient hamsâ thinking they can âdo her jobâ at âcosting an omeletteâ. The goons left out all the peripheral costs of an omelette (rent, gas, oil, a cooker, a pan, oil, salt ... you get the picture). Say, how are those ÂŁ20 shops going, Jack? At least youâve got a lot of âbleeping knives and forksâ - no need to cost them.
- She works in many areas, every day, âmostly behind the scenesâ.
- She tweeted Potatoes AGAIN. Yeah, yeah, Marcus Rashford has been the catalyst of a positive movement, inspiring thousands - but donât you forget about her!
- Ah, while sheâs at it, hereâs something she wrote a while ago about judgement of ready meals. I mean go ahead and retweet it if you wanna ...
- Never mind those pesky kids and their hunger, Jackâs going to tweet and tweet and tweet about her past âtraumaâ, the âearly onset arthritisâ, âlungs of a smokerâ and âfear and loathing that multiple therapies canât assuageâ. Her, her, HER.
- The bleeping AUDACITY.
- While sheâs at it, hereâs a picture of her stack of bills. Yup.
- âJack do you have a patreon or Paypal where we can support you personally?â
- âI for one would like to help you a little (sorry low pension). Do you have PayPal?â
- Sheâs experiencing âbasically like an autopsy while [sheâs] still alive right nowâ. Jack, thatâs what we call jealousy.
- Oh no, sheâs dispensing with the ÂŁ20 shopping sagas. Because of the âdickheadsâ who need to âpipe downâ.
- Also, sheâs done her back in lifting a âvery heavy cast iron and mango wood table on her ownâ. Sheâs ok! Sheâs got loads of those meals in the freezer, hasnât she? Hasnât. She.
- She has turned off her Patreon numbers.
- She reminded people to donate to the Trussel Trust, and because she has a large platform, people have. Got there in the end, Jack.

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 ***
Jackâs most oft-used reply to questions on recipe substitutions:
Yes, absolutely x
Some other favourite Jack quotes:
âBabe, sameâ
âI did a chaosâ
âMy maverick brainâ
âMy sad little faceâ
âIâm BUSYâ
âI HOOTED / I am FIZZINGâ
âI laughed up a lungâ
One of Jackâs followers once referred to Tattlers as sad hausfraus and Jack herself has likened us to a cabal. Therefore we have become the Cabal of Hausfrausâ˘ď¸. She also recently referred to us as âgossip mavensâ (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 âGrunkaLunkaâ 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 thatâs 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 wonât be the last. *
Jack once sideboard modelled a Vivienne Westwood dress, seeming to infer that itâs what Viv would have wanted (as if she were dead), and then got snippy when corrected otherwise. There may be some âRIP Vivâ jokes (she is, of course, NOT dead)
We sometimes joke about being on Vladimir Putinâs 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 âhorse spunkâ - there may be some horse âspiritâ lasagne jokes.
Her last-uttered line to Matt Tebutt on DKL was: âThank you so Matt much, Mattâ, 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: âNow duck offâ. 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 Jackâs own genteel humour.
*Back in the mists of time, one funny frau used a Jimmy Nail âSheâs Lyingâ picture to illustrate their thoughts on one of Jackâs 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 sheâs lying.*
Also:
- She grew up in a 5-bed (mortgaged/owned) house
- She got a ÂŁ4.5k 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 Jackâs words: âShe [Louisa] leftâ.
- 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. âIt just does.â
- 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 Jackâs Tattle Wiki page, which also includes clips of Matt Tebutt muttering âTerrible!â on Daily Kitchen Live, courtesy of @Yel) and @Bookweevil âs hilarious Glossary of Jack.
We are terrible for going off on tangents and using too many gifs, so there is another thread where we donât 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.
