The renaming of the dog goes back to at least 2009, and an interview in, I think, The Guardian.

I thought it definitely wasn't anyone?

I've never seen that, so thanks for posting it.

Quite a revelation even to those of us who think we know La Jones quite well, and I don't think the writer of the piece is exactly enamoured of her either.

You're welcome Lizzyroz.

It wasn't well received in the industry at the time of publication, sort of 'not quite nice' to be rude about a fellow journalist. Perhaps those who felt that way then have changed their minds.

The stalker neighbour's back in the frame this week.

She claims never to have called a cop in 2 years, but what about when she had trouble with him before and it all went to court? In this piece from February this year she plainly says the police were called. Selective memory for the sake of drama yet again.

It was the ponytail that made me fall in love with him 30 years ago.
He was hosting a party at his house, next door to where I was renting in Stockwell, and was wearing a black tux.
He turned round, and there was a tiny ponytail. I was smitten.

So they hold May Balls in the middle of Stockwell, do they? Wonder what she wore!

So the worst week of her life, is not one of the weeks when her nephew, mother or sister died, but the week she had an argument with someone visiting a neighbour!

So...no explanation of the mysterious 'txt/email' cliffhanger in the last Dreary?

Par for course.

I roared with laughter at LJ's article about how laughter will get you a man. Because she has no sense of humour whatsoever.

Then I got to this:

<i>What I should have been doing was learning how to be nice. How to laugh. How to be kind.<i>

And I felt very sorry for her. Because she clearly hasn't learned those things and I suspect that despite this mollifying farticle, she never will.

Interesting letter to Liz about deafness from someone who really does know what he's talking about!

She has a hearing test at Specsavers, rather than go to a specialist. Has suitable hearing aids but doesn't want to wear them. Fine, but don't complain then. I don't want to have to use 2 pairs of glasses as I have ARMD but, if I don't, I can't see!

It seems that acquiring another horse will solve all problems, including the Baker becoming less than lukewarm.

Or something.

For someone who's got the tax man on their tail she's very free with her spending, and from her attitude to The Baker this week, I can see marriage isn't going to happen this side of 2025.

In today's MoS she actually compares the death of a gull to the death of a child (yes, really) & naturally it was a CASHMERE sweater that the baby gull was wrapped in, not any old nasty nylon cardi:

Other than stupidity, I don't know how one describes being profligate in spending when - apparently - having nothing.

Never thought I'd say this about Liz, but to be fair, the gull wasn't dead, she rescued it from being deliberately run over, which is a horrible thing to do anyway. Also the remark about the death of a gull isn't really compared to the death of a child.


TBH I don't blame people for carrying water pistols to keep off the gulls. They're nasty blighters that can do a hell of a lot of damage.

Fair point - but when it comes to Liz Jones and the truth - I doubt that people were deliberately trying to run it over.

If she buys the horse, it's going to be Liz's equivalent of an 'elastoplast baby', unfortunately - and sadly, what suffers most is the living being used as the 'sticking plaster' over the wounds in the person's/people's lives into which it's being introduced. The trouble with Liz is that not only is she trying to plaster over the cracks in 'holding a candle to 30 year old memory' relationship with David, but also the cracks in her entire life. She has no money (apparently!) and is having problems with the neighbours (deja vu!) and complains about the long drives to and from London (often!) but hey - let's get another horse! (Although, odds on Nic will be doing the lion's share of the looking after anyway.)

As for the seagulls, of course no one would advocate torturing a young seagull to death by running it over, but the fact is they are a pest. Living on an island we're surrounded by them! They're not nicknamed 'flying rats' for nothing! There's a nest of them on the roof of a nearby house - and the blinking things come and tap on front doors with their beaks so that you know they're there, and clearly aren't afraid of people anymore.

Liz might think they don't come inland because they can't find fish in the sea, but most experts agree than they come inland more simply because it's easy pickings. People = mess, and beaches = people with food to eat. Why go and catch your own fish when you can take a sandwich out of a toddler's hand when it's minding its own business being pushed through St. Helier town centre in a buggy (which happened to my daughter when she was 3!)?

As for being on Katie Hopkins' new show...

If she is on the verge of bankruptcy how can she even consider buying a horse or all the other designer things she buys for herself. This woman is seriously disturbed and if David marries her knowing this he deserves all he gets..

I barely know where to start when she says things like this:

"I am often being told off by Scout leaders because my border collies have eaten the boys’ sandwiches: if you don’t want to come across border collies, don’t go walking in the Yorkshire Dales!"

So she had dogs which are out of control but that's everyone else's fault? She thinks it's perfectly OK for her dogs to steal children's lunches? Unbelievable.

"I stayed in a luxury cottage last weekend with a labrador, the most docile, sweet, inoffensive dog you can imagine. He wandered into the garden of the holiday cottage next door, just to say hello. A man came out. ‘Is this your dog?’ ‘He belongs to my sister, yes.’ ‘Well, can you stop him coming in our garden?’ ‘But he’s harmless.’ ‘I don’t mind him, but my wife does, and we have CHILDREN!’

Why, if you don’t want to come across a dog, would you go on holiday in the New Forest, and stay in a luxury log cabin that is so pet-friendly they provide dog bowls, a dog bed, a map of dog walks, and a special outdoor shower for your pet?"

Aside from the fact that every single dog is capable of biting no matter how docile it is (and she of all people should know that after what happened to her cat), does this woman have no respect of boundaries? He just went to say 'hello'? Of course the man was concerned, it was a strange dog! She'd have been the first to complain if next doors kids had started playing in her garden going on about unruly children and entitled parents expecting special treatment because they have kids - yet she expects special treatment for her dogs! Besides, dog friendly doesn't mean dogs can wander everywhere at will. She really is the most obtuse woman!

Liz's idea of being skint is definitely different that other people's idea of being skint!


I wouldn't be surprised if Nic is encouraging her so that she keeps her job. Let's not forget she's supposedly a friend/employee and I often wonder which what takes precedent with Nic - being her friend for being kept in employment?

Only 10 comments on yesterday's offerings. Even the readers can't be arsed to talk about her anymore.

And her defenders aren't even bothered about defending her either. I can only see one comment there that's on her side.

Just watching her on Katie Hopkins' show where Katie has just told LJ she looks weird

I have to admit that I recorded this show. I didn't know it existed until LJ mentioned it in her column last weekend. I immediately set the recorder.
