I'm still enjoying the calm, getting used to logging on and only having a few posts to catch up on rather than seeing 20 pages and thinking what's happened this time.

And it's been lovely getting to know the cabal better.

Now duck off.

Babe same
I planted so many seeds yesterday 😂

Whilst it's quiet, I arrived on Tattle after a post in a general FB group I am on from a member who was upset because she felt inadequate by Hinch standards and I sent a supportive message based on what I already knew about Hinch but also had a wee little extra google on the Hinch (her house is a hideous sad cloud) and swiftly arrived on Tattle. The main page must have had a reference to Jack, and being someone who was previously a Non Contributing Squiggle (and owner of the first book) I had a look because HOW. It was around the time of the Asda trips and the trolley.
I have tried two Jack recipes. The first was the Split Pea Soup from the blog, which I believe also made a pasta bake sauce? I used it for a while as a pasta bake sauce, but it takes bloody forever in a quantity actually suitable for multiple human consumption and I need more punch to my seasonings so had to alter that. My now-husband had just moved in with me and I thought I was so clever using split peas to make a thick unctious sauce. The other was some white bean and garlic thing and it put me off white beans for a long time.

I must admit I am mostly scared of the other threads apart from F&D.

Good grief, just wandered over to the Meghan and Harry thread - no thank you.
Raining here today, sorry Jack that you’re missing the wonderful Glasgow rain. Would love Jack to do a macaroni pie and Pizza Crunch special.

It's terrifying isn't it? I'm not a monarchy fan, the racism and othering that's been displayed by the Royals and their press has been hideous. So I'm not super keen on the victim blaming going on.

Pretty worried to stick my head above the parapet on a lot of threads tbf. Safer here in the cabal/canal/cable 😁
 
That thread is radioactive.
Are the people royal fans, saw the mistreatment of Diana but think this is ok?

Keeping it Jacktopic, is she having a long dinosaur nap after staying up watching the Oprah interview? Jack, what about this,

“An 11-month-old baby and her mother are bringing a case in the high court to try to secure the baby’s right to free vitamins, formula milk and nutritious food.
In the first case of its kind, lawyers for the mother and baby are arguing the baby should not be excluded from the UK government’s Healthy Start scheme, which aims to reduce child poverty and health inequalities. The programme provides vitamins, nutritional advice and weekly vouchers to buy healthy food such as fresh fruit and vegetables or infant formula to low-income families with pregnant women and children up to the age of four. It is intended to benefit those with the “greatest need”.”

This woman is a poor migrant and because the Home Office is the dead behind the eyes entity that’s they are, there are rules in place to make sure that those who need Healthy Start the most aren’t able to access it. Come on Jack, get their voice heard.

It is bad! I am not British and I don't live in the UK anymore and a local (male) acquantaince wrote a message to me yesterday just stating that it was soooo bad that Meghan was tearing down the British monarchy. FFS, it is not his monarchy and he is obviously stuck in the 1950s!

I read the Joe Sugg thread because I am literally obsessed with him - I read it and shake my head thinking "oh you poor souls, he is perfect don't you know" (I feel I should add at this point that I am almost 40 and have no business being obsessed with Joe Sugg, but here we are anyway!)
I check on the TikTokkers area, because I'm also obsessed with TikTok (Once again, almost 40 - mental age of a 15 year old, obvs) but other than that I don't tend to look elsewhere.
I can only imagine the trash on the M&H thread. I don't know what to make of them, but I can't wait to watch tonight!

I suspect that Jack would be more Embra fawning than into Glasgow [until she realises how much more working class points she could award herself]. But can y'image that macaroni pie? Limp and wet, and a pizza incapable of crunch.
 
Have had a look and posted on the H and M thread too.
Whilst I do not doubt there are those that dislike Meghan for vile reasons, like there are those who dislike Jack due to sexualty/tattoos etc, I think the majority are just blown away by the levels of Narc re Meghan, even Jack pales into insignificance by comparison.
So many people have been damaged at the hands of a Narcissist and the behaviour is so triggering that we can have really strong reactions.
Being the victim of a Narc is not of course an excuse to be racist, nothing is, but it is horrible to be accused (gaslit) of being a racist/homophobe when genuinely pointing out someones behaviour.
 
You know what I think about Megan and Harry. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Two people I wish well. That's literally it. I have no idea why people care so much.

I get it with Jack. She's lying and conning people out of money. That's why I'm here.

But I personally DGAF about the royal family or any extension thereof. I sometimes feel like I'm taking crazy pills because people seem so invested in it all 😂

I'm confused as to what marks her out as being a narc. I had a look at that thread at the weekend and it seems to me a complete cesspit, with people citing papers like the Sun and Mail, and extremely right wing commentators to back up their negative opinions of her.

Seems like a good attitude to have tbh!

I’ve never cared about them either, but have caught up quickly over the past few days. For me, I’m now following as I want to see some sort of outcome and accountability now the public are more aware of who/what they actually are - preferably that they go away and take their disgusting attitude towards mental illness with them.

I believe the kids today call this ‘cancelling’. Let’s cancel them! 😂

Mod edit: Hi all (not to anyone in particular) but this isn’t a Harry and Meghan thread, also not a place for discussing the thread itself. Please see the rules about discussing other threads.
