Is there no legal redress or even internal procedures at the Mail that make 'telling outrageously, provable fat lies' gross misconduct and therefore a sackable offence?

Anyway I've also had a moan and complained about her lying to her readers.

"The advantages of being in the front row? You inevitably get better freebies left on your chair (a one-off box of different Chanel scents was the best I ever got: it came in a cashmere wrap). You get a closer view of the models’ blisters and thread veins, too, which is always heartening."

I wonder if she knows what the front row freebies were when she was supposedly sitting next to Justin Timberlake?

If there was the Mail would be 50 blank pages and a crossword.

A crossword with inaccurate clues and a Karkuro grid that is frequently missing about a third of the squares.

Dill was a boy. I have The Herbs and The Adventures of Parsley on DVD.
Yes I'm a sad sack.
No, I've just made that title all mine

One of the later DM comments today refers to a video*, where LJ can be seen sharing the front row with Timbo...albeit separated by one person.
*Maybe this one?

> Oscar De La Renta, NYFW 14th September 11 - Described as Spring 2012 show

Wellll.... if you stop at 00.35 seconds & 01.18mins (I couldn't face watching the rest of the clip, having ploughed through others ), there's LJ - large as life and wearing a white top - sitting on the front row.
As the DM poster said, it depends on how you define 'with' as there appears to be someone -in yellow-seated between her and JT.
OMG, is this the first ever 'LJ almost tells the truth' shocka? Is it??

As the old song goes:

♫♫ I've danced with a man, who's danced with a girl, who's danced with the Prince of Wales. ♪♪♪

(no it's not one from my childhood)

This probably won't post, but the fact that someone labeled CyanideCindy as a stalker just went all over me so I submitted the following...again, it probably won't post...



I'm not a naysayer because I want to torment our dear, dear Liz. I'm a naysayer because I have a brain and none of the facts add up to an actual person. I enjoy reading the column because it makes me laugh, and I have just as much a right to that as you. Please do not make false accusations about people. I understand that Liz can call someone Eurotrash in spite of the fact that she is the other woman carrying on the affair, but when dealing with real people, its considered slander.

The RS must have a rubbish sense of humour if he found any of her Pros and Cons list about moving in with him amusing.
All that banal nonsense about not being able to get passport photos of her animals.
But she made damn sure we were informed that he laughed.

So, she's had an offer on her house but it's too low for Princess Pugwash.
She should consider herself lucky she's not in negative equity and that she's had an offer at all.
She mentioned having married friends with children, I thought she had no friends.
The number of imaginary relationships is mounting.

So, she's had sex in a tent with the RS.
Oh Liz, you are spoiling us. What have we done to deserve such a glorious titbit? You are the gift that keeps on giving.
I presume that you're referring to the posh tent at the festival and that you don't just get a pop-up tent out and plonk it anywhere to go at it with the RS when the mood takes you.

Your juvenile, coquettish playing hard to get ruse, thinking it will keep your faux beau interested is tired now.
How do you muster the energy to perpetuate such incessant cobblers?

So she's getting ready for him to move in - or alternatively getting the collywobbles about it. I'm amazed any sane adult would want to share living space with her - so now obviously all the neighbours will find out who the "RS" is and it will be all over the tabloids in no time. Or will it?

Nope - because the RS doesn't exist.

Well done, Cyanide Cindy, for getting your stalker's post removed (all a bit bizarre). [[i]Oops - sorry - it's still there - just dropped of the pageI]

I have managed to leave comments on both her offerings (there were more disjointed ramblings about cats & dogs, ex-husband, treatment of animals in Somalia, Virgin Airlines catering for vegans etc elsewhere in MOS)

'StalkerAlert' fails to see the irony! She (for it has to be a she) must have been waiting to post that comment as soon as the article came online

She's getting cold feet about him moving in.
That's one way of putting this fantasy to sleep.

Has anyone seen the column in today's MoS? (the actual paper, not the You Diary). It's demented! Is it real? I actually bought a copy of the paper (please don't judge me, there was a £5 off at Tesco voucher inside) and my jaw hit the floor when I read it. I actually wondered if it was a spoof, or something written for a laugh that accidentally slipped through and got published. The bit about the boy with the donkey....I'm sure I remember reading something almost identical in a spoof recently!

http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/femail...ainly-men.html

I know I’m supposed to put human beings, and particularly children, first, but in the Save The Children compound a few weeks ago, on the border between Kenya and Somalia, I saw a child with a donkey and cart delivering food to the aid workers. Because of the 40-degree heat, difficult terrain and lack of inflated tyres, the very small donkey was struggling. The boy continually beat the donkey with an iron bar, even when the beast was doing her best.
I flew at the boy, obviously, and tried to persuade him that if he got off the cart and pushed it too, he might deliver my jar of Nescafe a bit quicker, and the donkey would live longer


Seriously....wasn't that in a spoof column not long ago? Someone posted a link on this thread IIRC. Or am I getting reality mixed up with parody?!

The rest of the column is bizarre, too, just a collection of unconnected ramblings on the usual subjects all strung together in a long nonsensical rant. I actually checked out the column on the website as soon as I'd read it in the paper, as I was sure it must be a hoax, so I was fully expecting it to have been taken down, but it was still there. Weird! Anyone else see the bit about the boy with the donkey and think the same thing?

Yet again Lizard does for animal welfare as good a job as Mel Gibson does for sanity and tolerance.

..with an iron bar, eh? ...
Apparently, this troo life event took place 'a few weeks ago' during the trip to Somalia, although it sounds remarkablly like.... this (Ethiopia, 2008).

Today's hideously-titled article was supposed to be about the relative intelligence of cats -vs- dogs.
Both species have the edge on Liz Jones, for sure.

Re: Mad Mel.
I'm sure that the Mail is his favourite read.
LJ's dig-ette about Catholics is bound to go down a treat

No, she really doesn't help. Believe it or not, I love animals myself, but the typical LJ donkey diatribe just makes me want to take the piss...

Truly offensive on so many levels, I thought the comment about the Somalian boy and the Nescafe was a very poor attempt at humour but incredibly she was probably serious. She tries to counter balance her vile rantings by over-playing the 'animal lover' card. Many readers will forgive her anything as fellow animal lovers (as proved by the supportive comments). Why loving animals means you have to hate most humans I will never understand, are the two mutually exclusive?

Hello there!

I was a lurker on this thread for quite some time, but have now joined and would like to say hello to all the people on this thread. I have been drawn to her YOU columns with an irresistible sense of repulsion for the past few years. Every weekend I end up rolling my eyes and throwing the magazine away after reading her self-pitying tripe, yet still I cannot resist reading every installment.

I found that link and film clip very upsetting indeed. I hadn't seen it before.
