Well done to @People-huv-tae-know for the thread title! Words from a blue tick on Twitter.

In the last thread, Jack’s recent claims of attempted ‘identity theft’ were further discussed.

Hold my tumble drier fluff and light a tin can candle - there’s only a bladdy publishing date for Thrifty Kitchen!

Jack Monroe #402 Which police squad will be tasked to investigate Jack being signed up to a mailing list?

I love that a story about an engagement only includes a photo of Jack. The implication that she’s the only one that matters. ‘Jack Monroe gets engaged to some bank account person’. Talking of engagement. How much money did she get for thise 3, yes 3 large diamond rings? It's so quick now the...

With a release date of January, it gives you plenty of time to fill those Christmas 2023 stockings for all your friends and rellies who you secretly loathe. Shame it will cost the price of a week’s shop but at least they didn’t push the boat out for the cover photo, making sure to purchase Jack’s stunt wig from Claire’s Accessories.

(Please can we stop adding to the ‘Off Topic - Good or Bad’ discussion? A little is fine, too much needs to jog on to food and drink. Warned!)
 
Re the Nigella, Jay Rayner and Nigel Slater quotes, it’s safe to say that not everyone is thrilled about finding themselves on the cover of the new book

With the exciting news that Grifty Kitchen has a release date, a few Fraus in the previous thread suggested they might buy it for the entertainment value. Please, I urge you all, DO NOT GIVE THIS LYING GRIFTER ANY OF YOUR MONEY!! There will be plenty of opportunities to take the piss when copies inevitably turn up in charity shops and libraries.

Or shoplift it. Jack herself has said this is OK.
 
Jay Rayner's quote 'A brilliant collection of enticing budget recipes' is clever because on first glance you assume he's at least tried some of the food. He could have said 'delicious' or 'tasty' but 'enticing' simply means they look interesting.

Well played, Jay. Well played.

A thought:
Hunger Hurts 2 blog.. 'Tldr: I'm poor still'
But..
A new book coming out...

Did she not get an advance for the book? Most writers do I believe, especially if contracted to write a book and given a deadline for it.. 🤔

This book is at least a year past its due date. In theory she should have received a small part of her advance when they accepted the manuscript (it's normally split into percentages paid on signing the deal, delivering an acceptable manuscript and publication, if I remember right), but given the numbers her last few books have done it won't be a large amount. At a guess maybe £1,500 to £2,000.
