She really hates having her pronouns in her bio - she only added them after a squiggle prompted her. I find it weird that she presents herself as a spokesperson for being non-binary, she did all those articles and interviews in the ballgown/tux get-up, but won't do this? I suppose that (again) it's only useful if it helps Jack directly...

To be fair, if she doesn't want them in her bio that's her prerogative. Some trans/NB people don't like feeling forced to spotlight their gender identity. I agree the pronouns thing is helpful in normalising the practice, but nobody should feel pressured into declaring them.

Well now we know we'll be treated to a drip-feed of those GQ outtakes over the next decade 🙃 It just reminds me of teens on social media who go on the first 'big' school trip abroad to somewhere in Europe and chronicle every single insignificant event that happens which is then, of course, uploaded onto a Facebook album of about 2,376 photos.

Also (just my personal take here, but I'm sure fellow Frauen will agree) just what is the bleeping point in cooking Christmas dinner bits now and freezing them for the big day? (ETA: When buying and cooking the fresh stuff isn't an inconvenience in any way other than it just takes a bit of time to cook and assemble). It's a day of generosity, kindness, pulling out all the stops etc. Of course, given the commercialisation of Christmas, the sky is the limit with what kind of food you can afford to cook and eat (and there's something to be said for that topic, it is important) but that is absolutely a choice on her part to even entertain the idea of doing a frozen Christmas dinner. Some of my favourite and most precious Christmas memories have been being a part of the Christmas dinner rush with my nan and mum. Imagine being her son (not trying to hit below the belt here) and being told, sorry, mummy couldn't be bothered to make the dinner, so it's defrosted scraps for you.

You’re not wrong mucker, she’ll wheel that out on at least the following occasions:

New Year’s Eve/Hogmanay (if she’s being McJackie) - “as I look back on this year and remember the truly momentous occasion when I saved the povs and Marcus kinda helped. He rinsed the beans”.

New Year’s Day - I hope this year brings more opportunities to save the povs (and hopefully catapult me into superstardom)

Her birthday

Every time she passes a school. On foot, natch.

MR’s birthday (31 October Jack. But you already knew that)

Throwback Thursday, every Thursday from now until the end of time

The anniversary of this momentous occasion. Every. Single. Year.

I think she’s extremely disingenuous accepting the compliment from the chef. She is not doing brilliant work with Marcus Rashford or anyone else and she’s pretty shameless in not politely correcting him.

Maybe it's a Jack-el and Caroline thing.. When she drinks the potion and Caroline comes out, it's her who doesn't like the coriander.
When she returns to the Jack state, she doesn't remember!

Oh knob off you absolute knobbing knobber! I make and freeze MACARONI CHEESE (because that is what it’s called in the UK and I am not pretending I am from the USA for likes) a lot. While I am no literal food expert, I can tell you that reheated it looks and tastes a lot better than anything you serve Mackie you horse-spunk toting buffoon. 😡
 
I’m super keen to ignore my assignment, so...

I reckon that she was in 6 inch high heelsTM because she thought she was going to be in some swanky clothes for this ‘photo shoot’
Would have loved to have seen her face when she was handed an apron.

The pile of billsTM in her hallway, I checked out the P.O. Box numbers for the ones I could see. All the usual junk mail from capital one and such where you are being offered credit cards.
Mind has gone blank on some of the other things now, but oh she makes me cross.

her cluelessness in her response has confirmed to me that jack has never actually worked in a kitchen and Allegra just asked her staff to entertain Jack's fantasies and let her play 'chefs' for a couple of hours a week. They probably just gave her a colouring pad and some crayons to keep her busy.

So the chopped onion could have been contaminated with meat juices and then they were mixed in with raw turkey mince,rinsed beans and fried off, so may not have completely softened through. Those poor kids who had to eat the meatballs :sick:

The ultimate tv try-hard at Uni was Oregon in Fresh Meat....she tried to make out she didn’t have a car 🤔 or an extremely privileged middle class upbringing and parents 🤔
I have friends who have those kind of Christmas dinners with 20 guests...they manage to prepare fresh vegetables the day before and cook them on the day. But yes, twice cooked month old sprouts and carrots will be fine, and a tax deductible expense.

My take is that her “non-binary trans” phase was so short lived and quite a few years ago, she doesn’t identify with it at all anymore. Of course, when people accuse her of detransitioning* she says “of COURSE I’m still non-binary” but her heart isn’t in it. That was then, this is now.

*Which is wrong. It’s a good thing she stopped taking T and spouting nonsense about not being female.
