I wonder if Linda/Graeme got in touch with Jack yesterday to discuss a gameplan - it would explain her little Monday tantrum.

And explain her softly gingerly quietness across all SM platforms today 🤔

We've had a few vegan chats here recently, thanks to our 90%vegan maverick. I know some of you have done Veganuary or are veg curious. There's a really excellent film available online called "the ghosts in our machine" . It's thoughtful and beautifully shot. It follows a photographer who has made it her life's mission to document how we treat animals, the ghosts in our machine. It's harrowing, but not preachy or aggressive. I watched it years ago and still think of it regularly. Dear hearts, that's all I wanted to say.

Is it on Netflix?

I once singed my hair at a party because I was lighting a cigarette on a gas hob. Never mind the smoking.... smoking inside, in somebody’s kitchen. Different times!

I've set fire to my hair a couple of times recently... I have waist-length hair usually pulled back in a low ponytail; it can slip forward over my shoulder when cooking and is the perfect length for the end hitting the gas flame of the ring on the hob. I clap it between my hands to extinguish, swear and give the frazzled bits a quick trim in the bathroom with my mother's old hairdressing scissors.

My midwife told me that she had a patient who’s pregnancy craving was Gaviscon on a sponge.

There's a condition, thst I can't remember the name of, that you can get in pregnancy that makes you eat wierd stuff.
Not like cravings for strange food, but really bizarre things like you've mentioned. Apparently eating cotton wool and dirt out of plantpots is really common!

Hi All! Only just joined here, thought I was the only person seeing this about Jack! Glad I am not alone!

I haven't had time to read all 150 threads dedicated to her special persona, so apologies if this has already been mentioned.

Maybe 4-5 years ago, around the time of the libel case with Katie Hopkins, Jack was very active on a FB group called Mrs Gloss & The Goss. Its a make-up / beauty page. Jack didn't post much about her home life (surprisingly!!!!!), & she was utterly idolised because she was a little bit famous. Anywho, my point is that at that time, she had every bit of high end make up you can imagine. I'm talking multiple £100 eyeshadow pallettes, every designer brand foundation, hundreds of expensive brushes - everything you can imagine at the highest price points possible. And her collection grew and grew, every post seemed to include a new product.

Doesnt fit with her narrative of being skint forever does it!

Wilkommen!
She probably used one of those expensive make up pallets to do her fake black eye with last year.
 
Bloody hell. I’ve just had a look at some of her posts on Mrs Gloss. She was asking for recommendations for eyebrow microblading last year. And yet her rent has bounced for the past 6 months? 🤔 All that make-up, it’s not Collection 2000 either, Urban Decay palettes. And yet she can justify feeding her son eyelid sausages 😔

edit: added pictures

Potentially going to 🔺 again but Marcus Rashford was today speaking to some families I know, through contacts at a local football team and food bank. They say he was amazing and the kids were over the moon.

These are the voices we need, not the howlings of someone whose experiences predate much of this decades welfare reforms (as well as shall we say playing fast and loose with the words ‘true story’) .

I'm convinced that similar to the pink curtains that give her a youthful glow, she has brown curtains that give her slop that quintessential brown palette. What even are those soups? Why has she dished them all up simultaneously like she's operating the world's saddest buffet? I'm also trying to think of a single thing I'd like to eat a husk of and I haven't come up with anything yet. Coriander doesn't wilt to smithereens either unless you've already chopped it into smithereens or you're boiling it all up inside some kind of blending contraption. Words mean things you tit.

RE: setting fire to hair, I've singed my eyelashes on more than one occasion lighting up with dodgy lighters from a pound shop multipack. Every so often they'd create an extremely large flame and because I'm an idiot I kept bending my entire head over it. I fully believe Jack is stupid enough to do what she said but I don't believe it's physically possible.

Brown curtains yes that would explain it!!
Her whole asthetic is very 1970's abigails party and beige shag pile carpets!
You are spot on!!
Everything is very influenced by nostalgia and her parents generation/heyday ?
What can we expect next prawn cocktail or mini sausages on a stick?
Maybe some babycham or a little easy listening courtesy of demis roussos?
Or if we are being really fancy and why not?
That gastronomic classic of the 70's la grande bouffe?
Although i'm not sure anyone would want to stuff themselves to oblivion on jacks grub?
Although they might well want some gaviscon? :unsure:

Just grunka’d to catch up. So...our Graeme from LM is on a peace mission with the viggles on IG? I cannot wait to find out what is said. I mean, what options do LM have?
Click to expand...

I imagine there was a meeting at LM and they decided to ask for some more feedback from the viggles so thy can learn for a nex time. Any brand cocking up on SM should be doing a bit of reflection/evaluation.
