Ok two questions. One - this photo was posted in May 21 where she was embracing some quite considerable grey.

Why isn’t she fully grey now? How is her hair darker? Even if she’s buying a box dye they’re like £8-£12 but yet she’s grating soap?

Secondly an old old late 2020 post has an Amazon affiliate link in it (to some silicone bag things) meaning she makes a small cut of any click through purchases.

Ergo, she has a further income stream - and if she’s used the link when posting her own book - double bubble!! (But fling her £10.99 to her PayPal and she’ll save you the bother and ‘donate’ one to a local food bank??!)

Bet she’s gutted Kwasi has knocked the 45p tax rate cut on the head. Could have saved her a few Bob!

I was that grey at 29, 7 years later I’m still not fully grey, around the 70% mark.

Can confirm, permanent box dye doesn’t cover them for more than 2 weeks, even the salon dye doesn’t last more than a month. I embraced it.

She hasn’t, so she’s either at the salon very regularly or doing it herself very regularly.

I'm not sure we'd captured the full thread on this quote tweet of parody Jack, by a Jack Stan. Did we know about the claims of additional security at Hastings festival? Presumably of the private kind and not celebrity po po or MI5. 🤭 Didn't turn up you say?! #tossers

Sorry, my screengrab obscured the bottom of the second part. Insert "trolls" and it will all make sense!

After Salman Rushdie was attacked, I think some book festivals did put on extra security/contact authors to reassure them about existing security in place. If Hastings had any extra security in place for the event it would have been because of that, and not because someone who'd cooked one of Jack's recipes decided they wanted their money back, with menaces.

Sorry, bringing this over from last thread because I didn't reply in time.



Thank you for sharing that wonderful, hideous extract. 😂 Have an owl + some champagne. 🦉 🍾 When you say 'from potatoes' I'm assuming you mean that some potatoes wrote the article? Poor things.

Someone on a previous thread compared her to Adrian Mole iirc. In The Wilderness Years, he's working on a novel called Lo! The Flat Hills of My Homeland. It's atrocious but he obviously thinks it's a work of genius and we're given glimpses of this work-in-progress throughout the book. I'll have to find some quotes because it's 100% something Jack would write.

I started going grey at 17, was fully grey by 30. Not a good look in the 80's. Grey is very resistant to dye, boxes didn't do it for me. After 10 days I had a noticeable badger stripe. Top tip: I used to fill it in with mascara.
 
Just caught up as I’ve been at 🔺 work all day.

Gutted to have missed the Mapp & Lucia chat! I’ll be doing my annual re-read before Christmas, Quaint Irene would definitely be a Frau.

And @Orphan_Black I met 🔺 Julian Clary once. Indeed very tall and GORGEOUS. I swooned. And he was very pleasant and kind. I agree that Jack is taller than she tediously and unnecessarily claims.

I see that Jack’s break from Twitter is a robust as one of her blogs. Bar liking tweets and changing her background (yawn) she’s totally TAKING A BREAK, OK.

The alt-right wankers didn't turn up BECAUSE THEY DON'T EXIST you thick twit! Did she show the organisers the "threatening messages" hm? Because she didn't show anybody else.

I wonder why? :unsure:
