I just read the gastropub rubbish. Are we seriously expected to believe LJ worked in a pub kitchen aged 11? My brother was born a couple of years before her and he sort of dropped out of school aged about 13. Even at that age it was highly illegal for him to be working (although he did). I find it most unlikely that LJ would have been scullery-maiding at the age of 11, unless she was born in 1858 and not 1958.

If Liz did slave in a pub kitchen at 11 we would have heard about before now-is it in the book? I cannot imagine an 11 year old declaring that she would not wash plates contaminated by animal products, certainly not in the 1970's.
As to the review, why would a "recovering" anorexic "vegan" want to visit a gastropub and put away three courses plus vino? Is that really the price a single diner would pay? I certainly couldn't afford to eat there at those prices! |

The vegan who in this gastric pub eats cheese souffle and ice cream. Like most of her self-description, it doesn't seem to be that accurate.

I missed this one!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/ar...-Prosecco.html So, with one hand she pleads poverty and with the other, derides both women who use fish pedicures at spas and those with badly home-dyed hair. So we can't win. Also, it's been some time since I lived in London, but just over 100 pound for four days, presumably not including accommodation due to ownership of cupboards/access to boyfriend's flat, seems entirely doable to me. Especially if you famously starve yourself. And even more especially if you famously have a gluten-free baker boyfriend right there in London who makes you meals. What IS she babbling about? |

Their 'badly home-dyed hair' looked in much better nick than her expensive salon-dyed haystack.

I presume that 'expensive salon-dyed haystack' is a typo for 'midnight storm hair'?

Jonezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Afternoon all. I've tried to dredge up a bit of comment about Worzel's drabbage over the last couple of weeks... but it's just so unspeakably dull I'm not sure I can be arsed most of the time. I presume she read one or two comments about how nobody cares about the dirty baker and can she talk about the animals more... and so we have a horse related dreary (with Nic sleeping in the stable. Again [a shoo-in for the Nativity this year!].) which will, amazingly, resolve itself positively (the horse got better). Again, an animal suffers at her hands and we are expected to feel pity.
The sooner the truth about her Godforsaken existence becomes more widely known (the numbers of staff for a start!) the sooner the whole ridiculous farrago will grind to a halt. Btw... that restaurant review? How utterly without talent was that? Pffft. |

So nobody has anything to say about the Dreary today then. Perhaps we could have a whip-round for the frugal woman who spends £200 on food she doesn't eat (half an avocado, anyone?) but only has one pair of socks. And two pairs of dry-clean-only pants.
How about the fantastic advice that we should all be more selfish? Something Liz has perfected. ***tumbleweed*** |

What CAN one say, Fatsia? It's cruel to mock the afflicted. However, one must ponder on the sanity of the MoS, still permitting the Lizard to continue writing this garbage. (Now off to count my socks ....)

She really doesn't get the concept of frugality does she - £250 on food for a weekend (£200 for shopping + £50 eating out]
The she whines about "only" getting a Blackberry phone because she wanted expensive jewellery (is she still angling for an engagement ring after writing about dumping him?). |

ETA: OMG I just read the "be more selfish" piece. Liz Jones giving advice on how to maintain mental health is ... well, she needs to show she's actually somewhere near achieving it first. |

Hello *waves to everyone here* have been following for a while - who can exist with one pair of socks? And two pairs of dry clean only knickers? Especially when caring for large animals?
Socks most important, obviously. |

Actually, that's a lie, as we all know what it's going to be about, and that it's going to be the Sorriest Puddle Of Piss in the entire history of the world. |

Let us, on this sombre Autumn day, spend a few moments in silent and sympathetic contemplation of the horrors endured, as part of the daily routine, by some hard-working people. Specifically, those employed in the dry cleaning establishment to which the Lizard sends her two pairs of knickers (one pair on, one pair in the tetrachloroethylene).

Do you think she snaps and sneers at the poor people who clean her secretions from her vegan gussets, because they don't understand that she is deaf and also, they have absolutely no understanding of organic dry cleaning techniques? I bet she does. I bet she begrudges them their minimum wage, because SHE is frugal and hardworking, unlike them with their Garnier Fructis-scented tresses.
Actually, have you noticed that for some reason, the richer someone is, the more forgiving she appears to be towards any profligacy on their part? Whereas if people are ordinary or poor, she grudges them everything. |

I'm not entirely sure she has understood the meaning of the word frugal. For me, it's spinning out a bunch of mince to make at least two dinners over the weekend, and not spending TWO HUNDRED BLEDDY PAHNDS on food you don't actually eat.
And the socks thing is bolleaux of the highest order. Anyone can nip down the market and pick up five pair for three quid. |

The market? The MARKET? *faints clean away*
They won't stock her 9,000 thread count (organic, responsibly reared silk, spun by photogenic orphans) hand-knitted Michael Kors socks! Don't you know who she is? |

Market? But where will she get the M&S organic prawns that she claims to feed her cats on?
![]() .... and she was expecting the baker to knock up a bake-off worthy, gluen-free, vegan birthday cake in her honour in a house house that she proudly proclaims has no kitchen? (Dreary March 9th 2014) |

So... let me get this straight...
she moaned because he got her a blackberry. She had ONLY just worked out how to use her iphone. Conclusion: she had been moaning about how difficult to was to use the iphone. He therefore got her a blackberry because for a lot of ppl in business USE a blackberry as they are easier to use. he therefore thought he was helping her as it would be easier for her to access her work, type her emails on the move and keep in touch with the business side of things, ergo stopping her moaning about her new phone. She wanted jewellery. Men are not mindreaders. You want jewellery you have to tell them or hint everyday to them about "I'd love these earrings for my b/day". She got him a suit for his b/day and it was expensive. She had been moaning in previous diaries how scruffy he dressed. She got him that suit because, as his sister said "she wanted him to look good on her arm". He would of most prob liked a bunch of cheap sweaters/ t shirts, some pants and socks. he would get more use out of them than a suit. He is a baker, not a banker, when will he need a fancy suit??! She moaned about spending 200 squid on food and then he ate a sarnie. Considering she seems to live on nothing but her own whining, why spend that amount when he only there for a short while. He didn't make her a cake. FFS.. he has been baking ALL DAY! Maybe he was tired of baking, like we are tired of her moaning. he made her dinner, that was lovely of him. She moaned about the dust he left behind. Again... FFS.. that's hard work he was doing. he is her b/f, not a paid builder. In a partnership you share. He did her basement, she can clean up the mess and wipe down the odd door frame. And the reason he is grumpy is more to do with her selfish me me me attitude than lack of sex. Being a moaning grumpy cow is a big turn off dear Lizard. And... isn't she meant to be a vegan?? Or is dairy ok to eat now for vegans or those who think the manufacture of milk is cruel? |

She's vegan when she feels like it. In the same way as she's deaf when it suits her. I'd go so far as to say she's anorexic when it suits her too.
