Gratefulness and childhood notalgia (whether food, tv shows or tv adds) are such middle-of-the-road attempts for engagements. Not very maverick or activist....(perhaps that's a bit mean, everybody is entitled to some nostalgia or gratitude, but people mostly like it for sharing their stories, not Jack's one upmanship over instant mash or lollies).
 
The funny thing is that Jack's gonna Jack. When people respond with a story of their own, she cannot help herself but has to outo them in her response or make it her own in some way (she does it better/differrent or will have a differnt name for it, a better memory or says she will try it perhaps with an adjustment).
 
Someone has tweeted this picture at her on the back of the Breville chat and yet again <Carrie Bradshaw voice> I can't help but wonder ..... why does Jack, an alleged cook, only inspire her readers to post about the most disgusting food.

She won't be able to keep it up. Someone will say something innocuous but Jack will take it the wrong way and bite back. The sweet and sickly replies will be done with and snappy Jack will be back soon enough. I can almost see it already.

I’m here for it!
I’m currently on a bus, my estimate is by the time it arrives at The destination at 16.35 there will already be a deletion or two!

She's just posted that she feels 'dead posh' for owning a Breville 🙄, which was a gift obviously 🙄🙄🙄

I read the squiggle as being sarcastic that their sons, raised on griddled sourdough, now feel that the brevity toastie machine is the height of cookery. Then Jack didn’t read the sarcasm, took it literally and went “I’ve got lil’ urchin me one of thems fancy ‘lecktric machines, I didn’t buy it though. I feel a Baron or a Duke with it I does”. head.
