I think it was the claiming it as her own idea (EVEN THOUGH SHE IS A CARD CARRYING RELIGIOUS PERSON) that left a bad taste with the unknowing fraus. If she’d have said it was an actual AA *thing* it would have been different. But she can’t resist being the font of allll knowledge ever.

She’s got form for thinking old jokes/zingers didn’t exist until she thought of them. It was bad enough when she was making out she’d thought of it, as per usual she’s both years too late AND off colour.

As much as it pains me to stick up for Jack, I’ve heard ‘Group of Drunks’ or ‘Gathering of Drunks’ at lots of meetings. I think it did begin as a play on words for people who weren’t religious or were anti-God - an alternative so that people didn’t just wash their hands of the programme at the mention of God (if you don’t want God to be your Higher Power then use the power of the rooms type idea).

My issue with what she said was how they all laughed so much their sides split (of course they did, jolly japes all the way). “We’re not a glum lot” is mentioned in the book and we really aren’t - but we’re not meant to be cliquey and the main thing is people should be able to walk in and feel welcome, not like they’re walking into a pre-formed group with in-jokes.

I don't think they are but I do think she would come across as very forward and hard to deal with so it may have felt like they were cliquey. When in actual fact she was probably just putting their heads away with her tales of woe and been there done that.

She said herself she is tiresome.

she'll just be off thinking of whatever inane tit she can come up with next to go viral with

sweets, crisps, sandwiches, what's next?

"who likes cheese?"

"what do you call a bread roll?"

"who remembers white dog tit?"

that kind of peter kay nonsense she likes so much

Urgh yes! She's the Bernard Manning of the culinary world. Just to say we've had amazing weather today so perhaps Jacksie has been on a yomp, sans sideboard-carrying, chippy teas and firing ranges...

Yes to this, Jack made it sound like a Slimming World meeting with its own lingo ("Syns" and what have you) when it's really not.
