Congrats to @AmTellinYa for the winning title!

It's been a suspiciously chaos-free full moon so far, dear frauen und herren. What horrors lie ahead on this Halloween night?

In our last thread...

- Jack briefly toyed with Judaism. Shalom, Jack. Shalom.

- Also on the menu - a return to Jack's FORENSIC interest in politics.

- We learned some of Jack's many nicknames! Oddly enough, none of the things she gets called in this thread made it onto the list.

- Jack wrote an extremely bumlicky ode to "Mom". Hey guys, did you know Jack didn't go to culinary school??

- Some grifty Christmas ideas were floated and abandoned.

- Several more eggs were subjected to JM style traumas.

- Talking about weed is so funny and naughty! 🤭

- #LockdownLarder will be making a triumphant(?) return on Monday. WHAT ABOUT THE CHIP SHOP CHIPS, JACK?

- Eggy crisps. 😭

- Fried ice cream? HAVEN'T completed it, mate.

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, 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.*

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.

Lastly, but importantly, when submitting ideas for the next thread title, please use the words ‘thread title’, as it makes it easier to search. Just using the number won’t be enough. We also can’t have swears in the title, and try to hold off until around p. 40 for your suggestions, if possible. ThankYOU.

Can't believe the actual government got up in her niche and Boris outshone her with his own full moon chaos. It's almost like her and the Tories are two sides of the same coin.

I wonder if it was a full moon when she literally tore a radiator off the wall in the hospital while in labour? 🧐 (source: Instagram)

Oh no... please don't let this mean return of chicken porridge. To which, of course, she also added an egg.

The kosher salt thing from yesterday has finished me off. I know I’m a bit late to the party but I’m dying of embarrassment (again).

She doesn't get it, does she? She really doesn't get the actual, terrifying hardship that some people are going to suffer.

No one wants news people to lose jobs either, but she could put this so much better. Why is she so rude to someone who's expressing concern for other human beings??

Here Jack, I'll model a better response:

"I know, it's really concerning and my heart goes out to those in that position as jobs in all industries are under threat, but obviously those already on min wage are going to really suffer. [Continues to add link to food bank/charity donation and some ideas of how to support/petition the government for more support]"

Like I haven't done the research but wording a civil response is not that difficult.
