as to the identity of Liz Jones mystery rock star lover? Apologies if I am repeating a thread but just read today's 'wingefest' and can't believe its anything other than a work of fiction.

Sorry Howard Jones but my money is now on Phil Collins.

Agree ,rickety,that if someone offered you an exotic holiday, Christmas dinner cooked Envy and put up with all your crapola etc that it is not to be sniffed at.

And if it is Phil Collins, I would have whipped my cardi off faster than light but then I am louche. Wink

look!

''When he spoke to his giant children on the phone, he became all crinkly round his tiny eyes.''

Phil collins has tiny eyes!

saorachd · 28/11/2010 10:51

It could also be Peter Frampton.

ricketyrock · 28/11/2010 11:00

I don't even have that excuse Saorachd.

ricketyrock · 28/11/2010 11:02

The thing is - she definitely said he is famous.

I have never heard of Peter Frampton. Of course this doesn't account for a) my ignorance of 80s 'rockstars' or b) the fact she is a fantasist

saorachd · 28/11/2010 11:05

Peter Frampton was a huge rock star in his day. He is also vegan....

VivaLeBeaver · 28/11/2010 11:07

Peter Frampton's only been divorced twice. Of course LJ could be changing some details to put people off the scent. I've never heard of him either.

rshunter · 28/11/2010 13:02

more clues today..thanks liz...he's been married three times, and has children.....i would guess from lizs' remarks that they are all quite tall...doesn't say how many children.
perhaps he is not a rock star!!!!
could he be a dj or a producer?????

kittya · 28/11/2010 17:33

god, where did you get that from??

I thought he definitely was in a band.

Phil Collins could be abit rough and ready fo her. Hes no looker.

Whoever it is is blinking loaded.

I hope he dumps her soon. Fancy turning down all those treats.

sharbie · 28/11/2010 17:49

well if he does dump her i wanna be next in line Smile

sharbie · 28/11/2010 17:49

and i don't mind who it is he sounds lovely

kittya · 28/11/2010 18:04

did she say where she met him?

rshunter · 28/11/2010 19:09

i think it was a hotel bar in london, posh by all accounts...
he sounds wonderful!!!!!
i thought perhaps dj or producer as she may have thrown in a few red herrings??????

VivaLeBeaver · 28/11/2010 19:20

I think when she says giant children she just means grown up. Its a phrase she's used before.

But it can't be a vegan rock star. Just read today's article and in it he says that he's told his cook to read up on vegan recipes. Which means his cook doesn't normally cook vegan.

Also he lives on a farm as he says he'll get his assistant to look after his farm animals.

Is Howard Jones rich/famous enough to have a full time assistant and a full time cook?

SpringHeeledJack · 28/11/2010 22:27

H from Steps

VivaLeBeaver · 29/11/2010 07:20

He's gay.

ricketyrock · 29/11/2010 08:54

Yes she definitely says 'giant' meaning grown-up. It's a sort of adjective at the same time as a subtle cuss, isn't it. Because she can't seem to be pleasant about much.

Is there any reason why it would not be phil collins?

kittya · 29/11/2010 09:23

I dont think HJ has the money for personal staff and Christmas in the Carribean so, it points to Phil Collins.

rshunter · 30/11/2010 02:36

Phil Collins has a home in Norfolk, but, she did say when they were in Paris that they were able to have drinks on the terrace cos he was not that well known there. I can't imagine Phil Collins not being well known in France, or anywhere for that matter.
And, how tall is he? I get the impression that she is tall, could be wrong, does anyone know?
I didn't realise Liz meant grown up when she said giant, but I think she does not care very much for children, giant or otherwise.
A lot of the other stuff doesn't point to Phil, he is not particulary skinny, didn't wear leggings as far as i can remember, oh well, not giving up !!!!!

kittya · 30/11/2010 10:46

no but, Peter Gabriel did didnt he? would he fit the bill?

ricketyrock · 30/11/2010 14:59

my friend just came round and used the computer, and asked why I am doing google searches on Howard Jones. I didn't quite know what to say...

kittya · 01/12/2010 19:01

how on earth did you get out of that one? Smile

ricketyrock · 01/12/2010 22:22

I started to explain

She looked worried

Then she reminded me about the time I was googling Darius Dakesh (which is a wholenother thread)

GreenButton · 03/12/2010 11:31

I've decided her tale is nothing more than wish-fufilment bollocks!

High fashion clothes, swanky hotels and a rich and famous man.. she should be writing for Mills and Boon!
