From Huddersfield to York. An eye opener.

Sorry but I think that’s a bit mean. She’s catching a train, who can be arsed to look glamouris catching a train. It would not cross anyone’s mind if a famous bloke did not look glamouris catching a train.

Someone asked me and I answered.

And no I'm not Liz Jones. Check my posting history to see.

Ive got one of those.

OP are you sure you’re not really her? Trying to resurrect her career on MN

@NetZeroZealot Check my posting history and you can see I'm not her.

OP, the Trans Pennine train from Manchester to Huddersfield to York doesn’t go via Wakefield. There is a chugger from Huddersfield to York that goes round the houses (including Wakefield) but you said she was already on it. You also mentioned she tapped her pass but you can’t pay on those trains. Is that you, Liz?

I didn't say she'd come from Manchester. I don't know where she got on as she was there when I got on and I didn't ask her. I got on at Huddersfield and off at Wakefield Kirkgate to change train. She was still on.

I don't know where the train started but it terminated at York.

No I'm not her.

She got a card out of her wallet. I don't know what it was. I'm not old enough to recognise a pensioner's pass. Sorry.

I'm still not her.

I see your sitting opposite Liz Jones on a train and I raise you to I sat next to Samantha Brick on a plane.

ExcessiveNumberOfNinjas · 12/03/2025 20:51

Actually I am not sure Samantha Brick is much of a raise over Liz Jones to be honest, but I did at least sit next to her and it was a plane not a train, so I think that still counts.

Did you have a sudden urge to hump her leg?

Free train pass for pensioners in England aren't there?

Well aren't you lovely

Zenana · 12/03/2025 18:25

Absolutely not. That was the eye opener. I was surprised. I got off at Wakefield so didn't talk to her.

Filters and professional photoshop make a massive difference.

Zenana · 12/03/2025 20:58

Justcallmebebes · 12/03/2025 20:53

Well she is a pensioner, I checked and she's 66.

I'd put money on her being in her 70s.

No, I managed not to be blinded by her beauty in any way whatsover.

theladylovescupcakes · 12/03/2025 21:03

I'm from a small town in Scotland and walked past Liz outside Harrods a couple of summers ago. I was also expecting her to look a bit more put together.

WiddlinDiddlin · 12/03/2025 18:43

She can't tell you who the rockstar is as then it will all come out that she's made that relationship up entirely based on the fact they once looked in her direction!

She's a vapid twat who has brought everything upon herself really and made a fortune out of it.

It was Michael Hutchence wasn't it?

Which is convenient.

Zone2NorthLondon · 12/03/2025 21:04

Don’t know who she is

She wasn't wearing a lot of makeup but she did have harsh black liquid liner around her eyes. I've never been able to get that right.

SoAbsolutelyLonely · 12/03/2025 21:08

I think I read one or two of her diary posts. Seemed to be about lots of animals that needed the vet but she couldn’t afford it and an unnamed man and more bills and debts and she was so poor , yet was drinking expensive tea and nibbling on something from harrods but didn’t actually eat really and her house was full of boxes of stuff and she couldn’t afford the heating or electric and was cold in her bottega Veneta dress or something

I like her writing. I think she writes well and is very entertaining to read.
I always feel a bit sorry for her - she comes across as having terribly low self esteem that is having a battle with a monsterous ego - like a lot of actor and performer types.

She shouldn't really have such low self esteem as she is a talented writer, could really be stunning if she was celeb styled, is slim at an age when most of us are fighting flab and has had an interesting career.

When I read some of the stuff she writes about dating and bad treatment from men and how she feels about herself, I just want to give her a hug and take her out for a martini.

Can't believe you didn't get involved in a chat with her @Zenana I couldn't have resisted.

Edited

“is slim at an age when most of us are fighting flab”

shes been fairly open about suffering from anorexia since she was a young teen 🙈

YourBestFriend · 12/03/2025 21:35

Yay, MNetters of the world, let's just open a thread every time we bumped into someone kind of famous. The forum doesn't have enough junk!

B1indEye · 12/03/2025 19:28

What do you mean, how does anyone recognise anyone else? Surely because they know what that person looks like Confused

No, I'm the same, I often fail to recognise people I actually know. I wouldn't know an A-list celeb if they slapped me in the face, let alone a newspaper columnist.

ProfessionalPirate · 12/03/2025 18:46

I’m surprised so many on here seem to like her, isn’t she the one who famously hates mums?

Only working mums I think, because according to her, we leave the office on the dot of 4.30pm and have endless afternoons off to watch school sports days/plays/concerts.

RosaMoline · 12/03/2025 21:42

Liz’s columns are riddled with lies & contradictions.
The ‘rockstar’ for one was completely made up for the readers. If you believed any of that, I have some magic beans to sell you.

JeanGenieJean · 12/03/2025 21:42

justasking111 · 12/03/2025 19:12

I thought she'd retired.

I don't think she can, she's always wailing about having no pension

Well aren't you lovely

It's a reasonable question we have them in Wales for buses and trains
