By the way, Seabird, I read your comment and actually thought you had paraphrased what Liz had said, so terrible was it. Then I read the article.

She's quite beyond parody isn't she? She was probably making a misjudged attempt at humour but as she recently reminded us: "Though I’m always staggered when people are too dim to know I’m joking...". Does anyone, anyone at all split their sides laughing at Liz, especially about a crying cleaner?

I find it quite sad that those who are completely lacking in wit so often believe they are truly funny and then are baffled when nobody else gets the joke. If this column was meant to be funny, it was way off the mark.

Words fail me...”

I honestly thought you were posting a jokey Liz-a-like quote, until I opened the link.

Unbelievable.

Wait a minute...she writes; " Listen,’ I admonished, since I am, after all, the queen of tiredness, phobias and psychiatric problems, ‘if anyone has the right to cry, it’s me . . . Now, has the chair, been delivered? And did the men take their shoes off?’

The chair? Could this be the very same chair she moaned about last week and complained she had to take time off work in order to take delivery of it?

That's a £1000 chair if you don't mind Delivered by sexist pigs too who rudely asked if she had a man at home to help her. At least Liz seems to hate men and women with equal bile.

I can't believe she actually spoke to an employee like that! Surely not even LJ is that insensitive and uncaring ?? On the other hand .............................yes she probably is.

She's wasted at this time of the year, shouldn't she be in panto as the wicked witch/queen/stepmother. "Cinderella, stop crying and help your ugly sisters into their £26,000 Versace dresses so they can go to the ball - you're not going because you are pretty and younger than I am and I'm expecting a very expensive occasional table being delivered".

I don't think she does - she writes purely for effect, and to get people talking about her column.

She probably can't believe that there are actually readers who believe it all. She's laughing all the way to the bank I would imagine.

I think - think - LJ is trying to be funny with that cleaner comment. The pensions one however...

Isn't she only about 3 years away from retirement anyway?

Ooh, she'd just love that comment!

If she is, as she claims to be, 53, then she has at least another 12 years to go, unless the government move the goalposts again, which seems quite likely.

I'm her age and I wish. Fifteen more years and rising as the retirement age will continually go up.

Am to lazy to rephrase this so sorry to anyone who read this on FB:

And so the RS fades away, relegated to a mere bit part because now the object of desire is a married man with children living abroad.

So this is the twist?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/...onfession.html

So, Liz Jones, in her 'confessional' column, has been spinning a story about a fictitious rock star boyfriend for over a year - a boyfriend who supposedly 'adored' her and who wanted to live with her.
It was clear from the very beginning that it was fictitious. And now she's allowed to let the story fizzle out with no explanation and yet will keep her column in You magazine?

Liz Jones is not a confessional journalist, she's a professional liar. Shame on the Mail - she should be sacked.

Yeah right. That's how the Mail deals with professional liars? I'd think she'd more likely be due a pay rise.

What a load of tripe.
Although I see now that Nic/Nicola/ Nicole the assistant is now a 'friend' . And where did these two girlfriends come from, ones that apparently like her, understand her and don't expect her to pay the bill?
You know, I do understand that a 'confessional' writer may make a bit of dialogue a bit more amusing, or move a scene to a different place - but I don't expect them to lie for over a year about virtually everything. That's not 'confessional', its just fiction.

Maybe Nic is a much closer 'friend' than she's prepared to admit...

And after all her jibes at the women who slept with her ex, she now seems to have no conscience about saying that a married man (with children) is "The One". It's one rule for her and another for every other woman on the planet.

So, the imaginary RS is about to be dumped for another MadeUpBloke.
But not before LJ milks all the drama from an imaginary love triangle.
Looks like she is all set to be the Zsa Zsa Gabor of Fleet Street (in her mind, anyway).
Annoying as LJ is, I can't help laughing at the sheer cheek of this scam..

I would not mind so much about inventing boyfriends if they just stayed within the confines of the diary but they 'leak' into her other columns too. That is just delusional and rather sad.

Liz Jones is like Jeremy Clarkson, she likes winding people up to full throttle.

You may have a point. Both of them are convinced they have a fine sense of humour when they are actually rather pathetic individuals who have to put others down and be as offensive as possible.
