to be wondering (a lot) what Robert Plant's first date with Liz Jones would be like?

There's another thread open right now speculating about Liz Jones' 'rock star boyfriend'. RP's name keeps on coming up and I find it partly horrifying and partly hilarious Wiser people than me seem to think it's definitely not him but it's still giving me food for thought....

Is she capable of talking about anything other than handbags and facelifts? How long before his lovely chilled-out demeanour cracks and he wants to put his head in the oven? Ooooh to be a fly on the wall.....

He has no reason to be worried as she hasn't mentioned him. Having said that, if she is boffing him then if I were him I would be mighty peed off. That's the part of it I don't understand. What normal man would be happy with this? Her exh loved the publicity so that was different.

CupcakesandTwunting · 03/08/2011 10:21

I honestly do believe that she is making the entire thing up. As lots of people over the internet seem to think, too. She reckons they've been out in Central London, yet no-one has spotted them. It's turning into such a massive joke that someone would have lifted the lid on thm by now.

If I were Jim Kerr, I'd step up and say "It's not me, guys" if it really isn't him. Poor bloke.

"Her exh loved the publicity so that was different."

I'm not convinced her husband did love it.

I can't see how that confessional writing can be healthy any kind of relationship.

It feels destructive to me.

CupcakesandTwunting · 03/08/2011 10:27

"He has no reason to be worried as she hasn't mentioned him."

Nom, but she has strongly alluded to it being him...

-Pregnant daughter (his daughter by Chrissie Hynde is expecting)
-Piggy eyes (he has those alright)
-Festival apperances over the summer (Simple Minds have been doing festivals)
-Struggles to understand his accent (JK has a thick Glaswegian accent)
-Vineyard in France (JK has one in Italy, so could be a very weak red herring)
-Former legging wearer (JK used to mince about in leggings in the '80s)

So if it's NOT him, it's just someone that has a life that mirrors the bloke that she was obsessed with for years and years. It smacks a bit of being a leetle beet tapped...

CupcakesandTwunting · 03/08/2011 10:27

Nom? No, obviously.

lottiejenkins · 03/08/2011 10:27

Its DEFINETLY not Mark Shaw. I followed him off the tube at Sloane Square a few weeks ago and saw him kissing a very beautiful blonde in the ticket hall who was deffo not Liz!!

Animation · 03/08/2011 10:35

"Nom, but she has strongly alluded to it being him..."

Yes you're right, and it probably isn't true.

She could argue that it's a joke - a bit like bullies do. Can't you take a joke kind of thing - but, yeah, feels sinister and unethical to me.

GentlemanGin · 03/08/2011 10:37

Cupacakes, you have a disturbingly in-depth knowledge about this :o

katkitya · 03/08/2011 10:39

Who's Mark Shaw? Didn't someone see jims Japanese girlfriend at his gig recently? They haven't played an overnight festival though so, what's the camping thing all about? He seems to sensible to me. I think her exh did enjoy it. He publicized his books on the back of it.

CupcakesandTwunting · 03/08/2011 10:42

That's what I think, Animation. Unethical. She is crap about a bloke whilst thinly veiling is identity, but anyone who knows how to use Google would be able to find out it was him. I think that she is definitely trying to make us think that it's Kerr, but is chucking in a few dodgeballs here and there so that if the shit ever hit the fan and he got the lawyers in, she could say "Well look, I said in my column on the 5th January 2010 that you had a yurt in Mongolia. You don't have a yurt in Mongolia do you, Jim? So it's obviously not you, is it?" Even though everything else points to him.

Ginster I probably do know a bit too much. I'm starting to sound as mad as Liz now.

CupcakesandTwunting · 03/08/2011 10:44

"She is WRITING crap about a bloke whilst thinly veiling his identity..."

Sorry, have no idea wtf is up with my typing today...

GentlemanGin · 03/08/2011 10:45

Buppers the Guardian ran a piece about her Somalia trip a few days ago, they posited that the only reason she's so 'popular' as a 'journalist' is that everybody hates her and thinks she's bonkers. Like rubber necking a car crash.

CupcakesandTwunting · 03/08/2011 10:46

I read that piece of shit that she wrote, boo-hooing because she couldn't simply waltz into a surgery that she isn't even registered in and get her jabs. Made me feel all stabby-stabby.

catgirl1976 · 03/08/2011 10:51

I read that. I especially liked the implication that if she didn't get her jabs and get over to Africa, none of us ill-educated plebs would EVER hear about the terrible famine. Really, the fate of these people rests on her shoulders you know?

Animation · 03/08/2011 10:53

Cupcakes.

Yes, how do you confront it? And she does appears to be taking a swipe a Kerr but indirectly - like passive aggression. I don't know how you label what she's doing here - if it does turn out she's not dating Kerr.

GentlemanGin · 03/08/2011 10:54

Guardina link here

'Jones may have a large readership but many read her in a state of disbelief that anyone could be so self-deluded, so self-indulgent and so utterly unsatisfied at the same time. The "me, me, me" attitude that pops up in each article means no matter what subject she's covering, it will only ever be a backdrop'

CupcakesandTwunting · 03/08/2011 10:54

I think that those poor Somalians could really do without the added trauma of having Liz Jones sticking her lantern-face into their business. I don't see how her narcissism/self-pity is going to help anyone.

redheadbedhead · 03/08/2011 10:55

@ 'stabby-stabby'

catgirl1976 · 03/08/2011 10:57

Well maybe they will feel a lot better about things when she explains it is acutally all about HER?

CupcakesandTwunting · 03/08/2011 10:57

Animation, for all of my Googling, I can only conclude that Jim Kerr is still with his pretty Japanese girlfriend. So God only knows what Liz is trying to do here.

This is all very reminiscent of when I used to write a diary documenting my life with my boyfriend Matt Goss from Bros. When I was ten. Liz is like ninety-five, Shouldn't she have grown out of this by now?

redheadbedhead · 03/08/2011 11:03

cupcakes, stop making me laugh. I'm losing tea all down my front.

Animation · 03/08/2011 11:05

Is it like a woman scorned kind of anger?

If it's mean't to be humour - it's too dark for me.

Animation · 03/08/2011 11:06

"lantern-face"

CupcakesandTwunting · 03/08/2011 11:09

That's what I think it is, Animation. I reckon he knocked her back once and this has tipped her over the edge. I wonder if she is trying to make Yuki think that he is having it orf with LJ behind her back? Bwah ha ha h aha h aha ahhhahahhahahha! She is a professional loony, we must remember. And a professional troll. She is probably reading this and laughing at us for talking about her, at the same time as massaging her head with a bag of frozen peas because even though we are being quite scathing about her, we are still talking about her and talking equals attention, which this harpie craves like the rest of us crave oxygen.

Apologies, redhead. Send me the dry cleaning bill.

katkitya · 03/08/2011 11:18

I doubt jk's girlfriend will be inclined to read it. Probably wouldn't even know who she is. They have a lovely life together so, it wouldn't bother her. If there is a rs I imagine him to be older than jk.
