I am - but not a lot! There are already at least two LJ related groups on there - I love Liz Jones ( yes really! ) and I Hate Liz Jones. Both were open to anyone to look at last time I checked which isn't very recently.

BTW, Strutt & Parker are holding another Open House day on October 1st - ah, if only I lived closer.

[harriet65]

Latest Dreary - aside from it being a thoroughly unpleasant piece, an interesting point. She infers she's written it on 'holiday' in Ibiza. Today is September 2nd. The piece about going straight from Somalia to Spain was printed in August 13th, or three weeks ago. I think someone's slipped. Again.

Also, from August [emphasis mine]:

"I hate Spanish food, composed as it is of dried ham. There is no cable TV. While the villa looked lovely on the internet, a few things are already getting on my nerves. The bed is not as comfy as my Vi-Spring at home. The cupboards smell. There are terracotta tiles.

But worse than all of this is the enormous pressure to have a good time."

Today:

"With this in mind, I am determined to enjoy this mini break. Already, it’s going really well. Unlike my honeymoon, when I had to drive the rental car around frankly dangerous mountain roads, when there was no telly in the villa, or heated pool, or comfy bed, he has arranged everything so it’s perfect. He met me at the airport in his fancy car. He arranged for a cook to make our first meal: a delicious risotto followed by figs."

Bets that the Ibiza jaunt will turn up in High Life in a few months ?

[DeliriumTremens]

Did the Ibiza jaunt cost £26 000?

OK, here we are:

He forgot to add "batshit mental".

Why would she ask him when she can ask her band of poor pensioners?!

He must have a third 'girlfriend' on the go then - because that description is definetely NOT the Lizard

I thought so, too!

I realise that Liz generates hits to the Mail's website and provides them with revenue, but I have to say I'm truly appalled that such poor 'journalism' passes muster.
Most of her articles are shite - a sixth former could do better.

Does anyone honestly believe that her boyfriend is/was a rock star?
She says that they have been seen together all over the place - on holiday, at a festival or two, in hotels & restaurants. The press will publish a photo of anything which will sell papers - just look at the pap shots in any of the daily rags.
Yet no-one has taken a photo of Liz with her boyfriend? Pull the other one!

She's trading on her past reputation and is these days nothing more than a professional troll. More fool us for feeding the monster, I s'pose.

Look woman, I have told you on several occasions to stop calling me a rock star. I only ever had the one hit song after all....

I've just had a look at the website, best laugh I've had in ages

She's probably flattered thinking that everyone is talking about her - she doesn't seem to realise that they're laughing at her. Or she doesn't care

I just love todays comments in the Mail...... Brilliantly funny

[aligail]

The comments today are just wonderful! I just checked and I see that although they started allowing comments on the Diary a few weeks ago , it's only this week and last week that they have not been moderated - are they all on holiday , or is this a sign that that the DM no longer care if everyone makes fun of her?

Brilliant aren't they?!! Definately The Mail trying to get her to put up or shut up about the RS. Again, if he exists would he really tolerate Liz's public vitriol towards his ex (who would surely know about Jones by now).

Glad she got a much deserved mawling for her other feature http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...-spotless.html which no one can make any sense of, and she has now lost the sympathies of the Americans, who were her most supportive audience.
