Liz Jones - YOU magazine (Part 4)
Today's outpouring in the Mail takes not just the biscuit but a whole containerload of buttery-soft shortbread.

Anyone who claims to love animals as much as Liz wouldn't set foot in Harrods much less actually purchase stuff from their pet department.
But then again this is Liz the teetotal vegan who drinks champagne and cocktails and also wears leather and eats cheese so why am I not surprised?
If she really loved animals she wouldn't have kept poor old Squeaky in terrible pain for weeks before having him put down, just because she'd have been bereft without him.
Selfish and cruel woman. :mad:
How so?
Thanks for the new thread Admin
How can Squeaky have been put down though? He is in a photo in todays article captioned as having been there over her solitary New Year. Seriously lol, have a look. I quote the caption as a cut/paste
Plus photo...
Squeaky died in March.

The caption writers haven't the faintest idea what they're doing. The pic of her by the fire is one that's been used before in her columns and was taken in the old Somerset house.

IIRC the cat called Grebo is no more as well. Liz seems to have the Kiss of Death about her.....
I loved Chris White's Spanish Wine (is that the same bloke?)
Um, you aren't Liz's ex Trevor of the TCP aftershave who 'ran off with a stylist called Jenny' are you?
...a loving pet owner does not prolong their pet's suffering just because the owner doesn't want to be without them any more. The ultimate in selfishness, IMO.
And today's whingefest takes us full circle - back to the old diatribe of "I had some friends, but then I wrote about their personal lives and/or insulted them in the national press - why, oh why, won't they talk to me any more? Why me? Waaah"
As somebody in the comments pointed out - if one friend dumps you, it might be them. If two friends dump you, it might be both of you. If all your friends dump you, it's you. :rolleyes:
As you obviously don't read Liz's articles you have no idea....
She has the AUDACITY to print this:
"And this loneliness, friendless thing, can happen to anyone. My oldest sister Clare was once married with two kids and an active social life. When she fell over just before Christmas and broke her hip, there was no one she could call. When she got home from the hospital to her tiny flat, it was cold, without even a bottle of milk."
Excuse me for asking, Liz dear, but where the Blinkin' Blimmin Heck were you????? No one she could call :mad: You couldn't possibly pop round and switch the heating on, buy a loaf of bread and a pint of milk for her? Or, if you're too busy being frightfully important (as well as "funny, kind, generous and interesting") perhaps pay your assistant to do it? Enjoy your vat of gin.
I hope you are right and that it is a mistake by the caption writers, others on the DM site have noticed too. The one captioned as Squeaky though is one that I havent seen before. I've seen the fireside one many times, but the one captioned as Squeaky looks like it is in her new house, its certainly the same room as the main photo with Michael and her on the bed, which I also havent seen before.
I remember the Diary, I think, although I havent checked it, that I offered my own sad condolences on there along with all the others. Anyone recognise which cat it actually is in that photo? I lose track over time as to which is which, and I only actually read that caption in the first place as the black cat in it looks very much like my own. I usually skim the stuff under all the pics and wouldnt normally have noticed at all, but for the similarity to mine.
This is the sister she wrote about just before Christmas and said she was an alcoholic.
No wonder her family don't want anything to do with her when she puts all their faults and problems in print. And what in the name of all that's holy is the second paragraph about?
Hell to the no! How anyone knowingly enters a relationship with the harridan is beyond me. :eek:
Glad to hear it trev!
That's why the RS is a figment of her fevered imaginings! No real man would want her!
Ah I have a job you see! What say you?
Yeah, me too. Do you?
Same guy - long-time friend and truly excellent fellow.
My mum had wallpaper like that back in 1965.
I don't think you get Farrow & Ball in rented houses. Liz must be so cross.
I bet the pic of her in the bar is probably one reused from some other farticle which accounts for no sighting of the crap tattoo.
God that whinefest was hard to get through. IF she didn't write about everyone she knows then maybe people would care about her. You can write about things and your life without naming names Liz.
What I cannot understand is why that article had to be ALL about her?
She could have done an article about the lonely older generation out there who never see anyone and don't have a column or website on which to air their despair. Or visited a homeless unit.
Or gone to a mental hospital and speak to the really depressed who don't tell anyone in print that they don't want to wake up anymore and don't wait for someone to reply to them to check on them.
Someone needs to sit her down and make her listen to the word of "Streets of London" by Ralph McTell:
"So how can you tell me you're lonely,
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind"
Stop feeling so bloody sorry for yourself woman and build bridges without putting them into print.
Am now going to make myself a cup of tea and nom some nice biccies.
Oh, that's one of my all-time favourite songs! I have the sheet music right here in the piano stool! Fabulous song, beautiful dreamy harmonies.
Sorry....back on topic!
This is the sister she wrote about just before Christmas and said she was an alcoholic.
So the most common cause of broken limbs is alcohol? And there was I thinking that ill-fitting shoes, low blood pressure, osteoporosis, icy pavements were the cause! How stoopid am I? She’s just offended every elderly person in the UK. But that’s nothing new! When I see her name on top/bottom of articles, I turn to the next page quickly. Until I wandered around DS I always thought I was the only person that can’t stand this bloody woman. How is she still employed as a features writer when she wouldn’t know the truth if it smacked her in the kidneys. I read the article about her sister....also read about her being upset that her mother was complaining of hunger even though a ‘carer’ was in the house. Did she make her mother a meal or take her to her own home? NO! She rang the district nurse who was probably off duty and told her to do an unnanounced home visit. And moaning that her sister was dumped in a cold flat by ‘uncaring’ ambulance staff??? Uhhhh, why wasn’t she there to meet her? And as other Forum members have said...why couldn’t she have warmed the flat and done a bit of food-shopping? And she works for a newspaper that always slags off public services, immigration services, council workers etc. And yet she couldn’t be arsed to pick up her sister from the hospital! She’s utterly vile! And a useless journalist who is incapable of rational or critical thought.
BTW, all elderly women have a state pension.....so why is she saying most women of that age group don’t????
