I do worry about her mental health. No joke.

Liz will write the biggest pile of poo
There is no surgery she wouldn't do
She will even steal your sperm from you
To make you read her stuff....

To make you read her stuff...

She speaks about adoption in her book about her marriage- a single girl gets married. The day they calledto say they'd been approved he told her he wanted to leave. Now the woman is a professional bullshitter but I have noreason to dibelieve it particularly; they went through the process with hackney council but were considering adopting from India.

What pisses me off the most...

is that there are thousands of people looking for a job and yet she gets paid to write crap like that.

How on earth is that woman still in a job? or to be more precise..THAT job?

Did you see her toes? EWWWWWWWWWWWW!

She cracks me up. I'm sure the Heil only employ her for the comedy factor.

Bless her.

kitya · 04/11/2011 08:41

That mustve been a real blow, I doubt she has made it up. He was a bastard to her and, I bet you any money, she's still in touch with him.

Thumbwitch · 04/11/2011 08:48

Mad as several boxes of very mad frogs. I wonder if the Daily Wail is secretly PTSL at her copy? I really don't see why they print her shite unless it's some kind of ironic thing.

She is right - there are women who will do things like she has suggested - thankfully I don't know any of them either but they exist. I am not one of them - I discussed it with my DH (who is 9y younger than me). He thought he would not be ready to be a father until he was around 35 - I pointed out that I would be 44 by then and that it may not happen - he disagreed (because his cousin was born to his aunt when she was 45) but I explained the biology better to him and he agreed to start trying immediately. DS was born when I was 40, I am now 44 and we are spectacularly failing to have a second DC - good job I "got my way" - but I did it honestly.

Anyway - LJ - all I can say (and I know it's horrible) is that it's probably a good thing that she didn't manage to get pg, I doubt it would have suited her (or her offspring).

EightiesChick · 04/11/2011 08:48

She's written about this in at least one of her books, with the awful ex husband at least. So it's not new, but I think is being wheeled out as a 'topical' response to the Justin Bieber is a daddy story. Can't really stomach her telling men that all women in their 30s are baby crazy and will be plotting this behind their backs. Not particuarly feminist that, is it Liz?

kitya · 04/11/2011 09:24

Its not really fair for people to say she would be a crap mum, though. Who knows what she may have been like? She couldve fallen in love with motherhood.

Thumbwitch · 04/11/2011 09:28

Kitya - she might have - but I doubt it would have changed her underlying character and principles, would it? Which appear to be somewhat dubious from her public ramblings.

FoofFighters · 04/11/2011 09:33

Oh my, that Daily Mash article made my day :o

LJ is just a RL troll. Did you see the drivel she wrote about having to dye her hair? She has grey hair and has been 'battling' it for 25 years Shock and then that self-indulgent nonsense about hating her body and paying the price. It's the way she writes about things that are in no way out of the ordinary, but it's always so much more frightful when it happens to her Hmm

That hideous photo was used when she wrote an equally shit article about living on benefits. She had to use shop-bought dye on her rats nest hair! Oh, the humanity! Presumably the DM thought dressing her up like a Dickensian beggar added a touch of gritty realism to her prose.

NoOnesGoingToEatYourEyes · 04/11/2011 09:43

Has anyone blamed her for being Mitmoo yet?

readyforthehills · 04/11/2011 10:04

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but didn't she say she hadn't ovulated since her early teens (if at all) due to her anorexia?

worldgonecrazy · 04/11/2011 10:10

readyforthehills yes she did write that she hadn't had a period since her late teens. So not only is she stark staring bonkers, she also has no understanding of biology, or is making stuff up, none of which show her in a particularly good light.

northernwreck · 04/11/2011 10:22

agree with myfriendflicka. Loved that book by the way!(My friend Flicka I mean )

OTheHugeWerewolef · 04/11/2011 11:02

It's a bit offensive to suggest that all childless women between 37 and 45 are scheming sperm bandits so desperate to reproduce that they'll do the nasty with any unsuspecting man stupid enough to drop his trousers, and then claim child support from him for the rest of eternity. To me that suggests Jizz Loans (thanks to whoever cracked that one, it made me snigger out loud on the train this morning for about 5 minutes, so the whole carriage went Hmm at me) sees humans in general as totally lacking in judgement, morals and respect for self and other. If that's her view of the world, then I pity her.

But the idea that some women might be sperm bandits actually isn't that bizarre to me. I'm in my early 30s and engaged to someone who is very keen to have children, but if I were 5 years older, childless, and single it's not impossible that the thought of covert sperm banditry would at least occur to me. I don't think I'd ever act on it, but we never know what we're capable of until we find ourselves in a situation, and to me it's not impossible that I might see it differently if my circumstances were otherwise.

Scheming Sperm Bandits!

oh that's fabulous OhThehuge

Pendeen · 04/11/2011 11:14

Thought the Mash article was very funny and far more believable that the Jones version.

I despair though that the Heil sells so many copies. What an indictment of the UK.
