Yes, I guess the cookbook thing is fair enough. But I do think Jack just nicks ideas, changing small bits as a lazy way of producing ’recipes’ she then begs for tips for as well as selling in cookbooks. I love Ottolenghi and have never found a recipe of his that’s unoriginal-plus they always work. Never seen one original thing from Jack-she just takes a classic, changes a key component for the worse and presents it as new.

"I think you can still libel anyone, despite how good or bad their pre-existing reputation may be" Yes, you can, because the Libel is any untrue and defamatory statement. However, you can still have a libel "win" but get damages of £1 because your reputation was not worth more than that

😂Can you win and yet have to pay because your reputation is a negative value? 😂

Why did she hide in the bathroom to sing?

To become the answer to this question.

“It’s me or Jack singing in the bathroom and then this face looming at you”

Imagine Jack successfully suing someone, getting totally slated by a snooty judge and awarded £1.00+ no costs. It would be amazing.
 
The richness of these Jack Chaos Eras is unbelievable. Quality contradictions, fact checks and self owns are flying past with minimum exploration, so soon is the next mind blowing incident. I am exhausted and exhilarated. I can't even pick a favourite. Although Big Dave becoming the Twitter main character was unexpected and guilty enjoyable.

Oh and she keeps referring to her lawyer being Jewish in a way that is becoming offensive. And implies that if he weren’t Jewish, he’d be beavering away on the Sabbath rather than pretending he’d lost his phone down the sofa

It's weird, and like you say, it's getting offensive. Everything must have a label with Jack.

I wouldn't say it was my Muslim uncles birthday yesterday, it was just my uncle's birthday. And I'm not working with my Salvation Army colleague S tomorrow, it's just S.

Big Dave Gate was hysterical. A glorious example of Jack's arse witted stupidity backfiring and taking out the member of her family she's most keen to impress in a needless friendly fire incident. It's like they revived Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em but set the whole thing on Twitter with Jack as Frank, accidentally destroying Big Dave while standing there all "oooh Betty, the cats done a whoopsie in me beret".

Also no harm to the princess of terrible singing but in what world would someone with an actual life would work on a friday night or saturday. I get some solicitors work saturday day times but they are allowed weekends too.

They also don't tend to be at ones beck and call, she watches too much tv.

Jack’s idea of a 24 hour on call pro bono no win no fee free gratis lawyer. Whereas he’s watching the continuing shitshow with this playing on a loop in his head

I do think what she said about Big Dave being a Marxist Leninist because that's what he identifies as, despite being a Queen-loving middle-class landlord, explains a lot. You are what you say you are, at that precise moment, in her world.

At least she's acknowledged it was 'inspired' by someone else even if it no longer resembles their recipe.
