If 'Anon, London' from the DM comments to the hot pastry article is a lurker here, please, please, please can you give us the story of unimaginable endurance when you had to sit next to Wor Liz on a flight to Hong Kong. You will find it theraputic to unburden yourself amongst friends here.

old Liz has a new rival: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...beautiful.html

Where does the DM find these writers? Is there some sort of strange holding area?

I was just

And we thought Liz was delusional!!

I won't knock a person soley on their looks - but if you write a piece saying that you are so beautiful that women hate you and random men are always buying you things.....I can't help but say - you aren't really all that pretty. Even her wedding photo isn't fantastic - infact only one of those photos makes her look even moderately attractive. Liz is better looking than her but believes herself ugly. Shows its all in the head.

The bigger point is, true beauty comes from within. A genuinely happy smile always looks beautiful.

I've just been catching up (belatedly) with this week's Diary. She really does need to listen to a few actual conversations between real people, doesn't she? That way, she might learn how to write believable, realistic dialogue!

One reason why the dialogue with the RS is painfully unconvincing: The way he joins with her in endlessly analysing her personality/past relationships, even offering insights about her ex-husband's personality and behaviour! Liz, real boyfriends just don't do this! Real conversations are a two-way street, with both parties engaging in reciprocal interest in each other. In Liz world, it's all about her: both parties focusing 100% on one person in the partnership.

These conversations all seem to follow the same pattern:
(1) Liz says something about herself, her personality and past experience.
(2) RS replies with in-depth analysis, offering insight that suggest many hours spent mulling over everything she's ever done or said, and generally reflecting her own view of herself back to her like a magic mirror.
(3) Liz refers to her ex-husband
(4) RS cheerfully launches into in-depth analysis of her ex-husband, usually incorporating some compliment to her in the process ("He didn't deserve you, you were too good for him" etc.) and dwelling on silly little details about the ex that no real boyfriend would waste a second thinking about and discussing. Liz would have us believe that the RS is as obsessed with the ex husband as she is!
This pattern is repeated ad infinitum, as the RS acts as a sort of flattering mirror for all Liz's self-obsessed thoughts and self-analysis. Like I said, real boyfriends simply wouldn't do this!

I guess that's the biggest reason why so many people believe Liz's conversations with other people are invented. In Liz world, everyone is 100% focused on her, to the exclusion of everything else. Taxi drivers and passengers are so tuned in to her every thought, they chip in with spontaneous comments that slot seamlessly into her own innermost thoughts. People in heartbreakingand tragic situations manage to summon up the strength to write and tell her how wonderful she is.....because really, why would they be thinking about anything else? Why would anyone ever waste time thinking about anything other than Liz?

....And what's going on with the Australia trip? First she was going there for the shag-palace married-man liaison. Then she was going to see the RS's tour. Then she gave the impression a visit to her seriously ill nephew was the reason for the trip, which she suddenly couldn't afford to make. Now she's talking about the RS's tour again and dropping hints about a £5,000 flight to Sydney?

Move over Jones, there is a new Brick in town.

Did anyone hear her on Woman's Hour on Radio 4 this morning ?
I missed it . Programme details say -
How much time do you spend on improving your looks with potions, plucking and even plastic surgery? Is it a healthy sense of vanity or an act of narcissism? Jenni is joined by journalist Charlotte Raven and Daily Mail columnist, Liz Jones to discuss whether we should reject today’s elaborate beauty regimes.

Went to Guildford yesterday with my 3 giant feral children and in honour of Liz's article about people eating in the street I had a cornish pasty which I ate on the way back to the car. I enjoyed it all the more knowing how much she would disapprove. Thanks Liz.

She was also there for the second slot, about dressing correctly for TV... and was totally out of her depth: Penny Smith (who I still fancy something rotten) talked rings around her.

I'm sure she felt better getting all that off her - surgically reduced - chest

Samantha Brick is featured in the Daily Telegraph as well:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolog...-Im-right.html

She carries on about female jealousy etc., despite the fact that a large proportion of the comments I have seen (I haven't read by any means all of them) disagreeing with her opinion on her 'beauty' are from men. She claims she knew she was 'setting herself up for a fall' but she can't handle the flak that she has invited. Liz thinks she is always right and seems to ignore her detractors, but this woman is devastated by the fact that so many (and I am one of them - I only say this because the article invites it) don't see the beauty that she claims but only an averagely attractive woman.

I have to admit that the photos of Liz in her recent fachion article make her look a lot more attractive than Ms Brick. I never thought I would say the like...

You can listen to the radio 4 Woman's Hour on iplayer
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01f65w5

Her voice has changed , I think, it seems more mangled. And she was totally out of her depth, especially by the lady who designs clothes for disabled women.

Can you only imagine what pure hell Liz is going through with all the incredible publicity Brick has brought the Mail? How is she going to top this? J*zzgate is but a grubby memory, the Rock Star fantasy has made her a laughing stock, her 'Moans' column has gone and even her most devoted fluffy bunny loving supporters have turned against her. It will have to be something of epic proportions to get the tarnished spotlight back on to those botoxed cheeks. Be afraid, be very afraid ...

Ms Brick and Ms Jones have much in common if you peruse the formers columns...... lots of inconsistencies and playing to the gallery! Both seem rather keen to have lots of pictures in the mail.

Ms Brick's previous columns for the Mail include:

--One on how hideous her adult acne has been, all over her face, back, and neck, and it's so bad that at times she's had to wear clothes that go right up to her chin. Errr . . . and yet she's wildly attractive, men swoon, and women hate her on sight?

--One explaining how she lost a huge amount of money because she was addicted to psychics. One told her to divorce her husband, so she did. And so on. We have another journalist here who insists that she's "educated" and is dumb as a box of rocks.

--"I'll Always Be that Fat Girl Inside" . . . well, actually, she looks a bit chubby in some of her current pictures.

--One about how her French husband (it's important that she mentions he's French again and again, ooo la la) says he'll divorce her if she ever gets fat

--One explaining that he chooses all her clothes for her and locks her out of the car if they're going someplace and she doesn't dress as she likes. (She doesn't have the extra key??)

How can all this stuff fit with her conviction that she's wildly attractive, educated, and, well, dresses well? ("I see her husband prefers overly tight clothes", says Mr. ccmc.)

She and Liz are sippin' the same Kool-Aid. It's sad.

I'm surprised that none of the comments I saw mentioned that she's got terribly thin hair. Some of the comments do mention how odd it is that such a beautiful woman married a short, paunchy Frenchman with really repellent facial hair and strange clothes.

Unexpected pregnancy.

I don't buy/read papers but I just saw on the Sky News front pages, top of the front of the Mail, 'Is Liz Jones turning into Kate?'

It looks like there's two pics, one I assume, of Liz Jones and one of Kate, looking, from a distance (and it's not a big picture) similar.

On another thread someone asked how old Liz Jones was, and assumed she was in her 50's.
Poor Kate! lol

Oh, they look exactly alike . . . if Liz takes off her glasses and looks in the mirror from far, far away. The difference is that Kate is pretty and seems to be a very nice, polite, cheerful person who works hard to give royalty a good name and is not given to calling other women ****ing Whore Daphne or ripping holes into people verbally. And Kate looks young and has a nice shape.

I guess this is her response to Samantha Brick. Try though she will, Liz can't seem to go viral like she did--not even the sperm stealing made this big a honk.

Anybody else think she's wearing a wig? Her hair seems to have gone from black and terribly dry and damaged to silky smooth overnight.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...on-effect.html

The ridiculous 'how much do I look like Kate' article in all its delusional madness. Considering how much she has slagged Kate (and the other Middletons off,) its a bit of a cheek. She's obviously trying to keep her new hairdo up and get someone else to pay for it. I don't think she looks like the Duchess of Cambridge - she looks more like a 50 year old with a plastic face wearing clothes similar to the Duchess.

Is this the best she can do in response to the Brick's attention getting antics?

After reading that article, I'm speachless.

I've never contributed to this thread, but now I must. I first came across Liz's column in You magazine about 10 years ago and I genuinely thought it was just a story at the end of the magazine. Then it slowly dawned on me that it was meant to be real life. I've found Liz unintentionally hilarious since then.

Liz must be secretly gutted that she didn't write the Samantha Brick article. Hence the "I look like Kate Middleton" article. Probably.

Spot on. The woman is clearly deluded.

this was one of the most futile discusssions I've heard in a long while - by sounding like a first-year sociology student, Raven made Jones appear almost sensible

>' Help, I'm turning into Kate! ' ...I know the story's already been posted above- but Christ on a bike ... .... I'm expecting the DM to hire David Icke as 'the voice of reason' any day now....
