Sorry to any Fry’s Five Centre Fraus we have in the cabal but these sound absolutely vile 🤢

At 5:57pm Sweet Shop Jack was so boring I decided to leave and make dinner after jokingly posting about Curly-Wurlys being bigger as a child. At 6:11pm Jack replies to someone saying Curly-Wurlys were bigger as a child. Move over, @Orphan_Black dear heart, I am positively fizzing with psychic energy like a Dip Dab clutched in the meaty paws of a smol pixie.

Mate, you take that oracle crown and let me run off and hide from the scary smol pixie! Blessed be this glorious night! :ROFLMAO:
 
I'd give the Frys 5 centre ago if they were vegan, they already do 5 vegan fondant bars ❤ Jack is so boring. I bet she thought sitting on that pink sofa would make her look younger because it has the softy soft glow of a thousand wool suns. Her brick cake must have fallen off the ceiling after she threw it up there for the DIVA awards, that's where her eyes kept darting to during the vid. Then it fell off and hit her on the head and reset her to ye auld sweet shoppe mode. 💤 'mon Jack you can do better than this.

Also shocked to read that about Tom Kitchin. I met him a few years after the incident and had no idea. He certainly didn't come across as a bully. Restaurant kitchens are incredibly stressful places to work but that is no excuse for his behaviour. Maybe the backlash has helped him to change and become a nicer person.

Congratulations to @Rekyavikgirl for the words and @JuliaGulia for the nomination! 🎉 Your joint prize: this monstrosity. Rufus Hound bantz optional.

Recap of last thread:
  1. Fack Monroe wrote a love letter to the inventor of the tin can.
  2. There was also a recipe for her pineapple chicken, which got all faux scientific. You had me at bromelain.
  3. She was off for an x-ray and all manner of scans and injections, so called for animals of every species known to man, stat.
  4. ‘If you know you know’ (which one of her eyes is possessed by the dark lord of Facetune this time), send your answers on a postcard.
  5. She made several wretched-looking desserts in a recycled Tesco Mediterranean veg selection tray. Why tho.
  6. She won the Diva magazine ‘Influencer of the Year’ award. And everyone applauded.
  7. An advertorial for her tasty Del MonteTM recipes appeared in the prestigious online publication Female First.
  8. [*]
    Please use the words ‘thread title’ (two separate words) when making a bid for one as it makes it easier to search. Also, try to hold off to the latter part of the thread if possible (after post #500). And remember - no swears are allowed.

    There is a thread in the off topic forum called Food and Drink where off topic chat is encouraged if / when Jack is quiet.

Awww, I've never been involved in a thread title before! And I do need a new door stop, thanks very Matt much, Matt!
 
Is anyone else confused about where she is saying she got banned from a bus for setting fire to a packet of sweets? Its not easy to spot as she’s tweeted it amongst the riveting nostalgic bollocks...as usual I am left with more questions than answers 😂
(I haven’t posted in a while as I struggle to catch up lately but had to check if anyone else noticed the frosties/fire tweet- lots of love to the cabal, i’m off back to my grunk)

ETA Screenshot of tweet for clarity!

In 1999 the Belfast telegraph was 28p. I used to get 30p to buy it and always treated myself to either 1 bubaloo or 2 golfball chewing gums for the walk home. Wasn't I maverick also apparently some girl in my school had sex with a KitKat chunky. Pretty sure it's made up but still something equally ridiculous for her to read ain't it.

So did a girl in my school! Was this one of those universal rumours that went around every school? Was it always specifically a KitKat Chunky? Why? I suppose they are girthier than normal KitKats...

About Tom Kitchen, on that particular episode he did not come across well but it was edited so maybe the Masterchef Professional chef he was working with caused him more bother than was shown, or maybe Tom was just having a bad day.

I refuse to 'cancel' him based on that. Everything I have seen and heard before made be believe he was a good'un.
