Oh, so she’s cancelled. Well no one saw that coming. 😂😂😂

Firstly, as others have said, tonight’s event is not a vigil but a protest about the policing bill. The organisers in their tweets have not even named Sarah FFS. It’s all “#KilltheBill”. Ergo: no need to cancel the Insta live, right? But that was just an excuse anyway, as we all know.

Second: does anyone else remember that she did EXACTLY THE SAME THING with the Hellmann’s thing when there was a vigil (possibly the funeral?) for George Floyd. It may even have been the very first Hellmann’s live.

And the “Nigella! Nigella! Look at me, Nigella!” Is just super embarrassing. Of course SB watches Nigella and Ainsley. OF COURSE he does. 🙄

my SB told me not to tell him off for watching Jacksepticeye because it's not really swearing if you're Irish it's culturally appropriate. The only cooking stuff he watches is GBO with me and he has many opinions
 
My Monroe-weary spider senses can foresee a period of Monroe moaning about working too hard any day now - she'll do this Del Monte evening and spend the next 5 days talking about how bleeping hard she works. The pattern is moaning, moaning, BIG DRAMA, small drama-induced hangover before a tiny amount of work with turns instantly into burn-out, subsequent mini-holiday before reappearing with benign tit which turns into something to moan about and... rinse and repeat

How odd. She must have got her deep love and respect for waterford blaas from the Greek side🤔

Blaas were probably brought to Waterford by Huguenots, as we didn't have bread made from finely milled flour till they came legging it from anti-Protestant murder in France - it's thought the name comes from 'blanc', which would have been difficult for the locals to pronounce :ROFLMAO: but I doubt Jack is very forensic when it comes to her heritage. /History Nerd

PS, I like your frosty name!

Heard that. Everytime I see a squiggle write "but she does so much for others!" LIKE WHAT? NAME ACTUAL THINGS SHE HAS DONE. TWEET?
 
I know Jack is the absolute maestro of the art of the excuse and that over the past year or so we have collectively enjoyed so many of her creative, maverick ways of explaining away her procrastination . However, once you pull out "I was in a fugue state" where on earth do you go from there. Surely that's the absolute big boss of excuses? She's completed them, mate.
Which is why a mere "don't want to clash with a vigil" just won't wash anymore.

I actually think she was quite clever in a manipulative way with the vigil excuse. To the squigs who believe it, she’ll look like a paragon of virtue rearranging the live to her birthday to not clash. The ones who don’t believe it will likely assume it’s actually to give her a bit more breathing space after the weekend and thus feel sorry for her rather than annoyed at her using the vigil.

Between this and the pesto/pestle connection I feel I'm learning something every day!

Also, re the name, it also describes my reaction to seeing some of the recipes when said out loud. ;)
