Liz Jones - Blogfest

[dawntigga]

AIBU to have laughed my socks of at the irony of her missing the point of freedom of speech?

Yes, it's a Daily Fail link.

Not comfortable with the turn this thread is taking. Let's not descend to her level, please!

Perhaps she gets loads of spam porn emails about "Lonely MILFs dressed up in heels" and she thinks they're authentic?

How come theres never any lonely MILFS in pj's,slippers with a cig in one hand and a bar of choc in the other?

Maybe it's like Online Dating sites, where "everyone takes ten years off their age" except they stuff down the chocolate bar, and take off the slippers and ciggie, and then put them back on after they've pressed Send?

Ifnot there are many different bloggers on MN. There were 300 of them at Blogfest, many more who couldn't go, like myself. Unlesss you have read every one of the blogs then you are generalising about the content.
I agree with pretty much all that has been said about the extremely unpleasant passive agressive Liz Jones. One other small point. There's something deeply bad-mannered about attending MN blogfest, presumably being paid for it. And then slagging off the bloggers. Hope she's never asked again.

to be fair, I have never read a mn blog-I was talking about "mummy blogs" in general. I would be surprised if all the blogs on here were so narrow, given Mn's scope.

I was a LJ 'virgin' before Blogfest. But it was clear there was some kind of undercurrent or agenda during the session. I agree with the manners point - she was almost surly and certainly dismissive in her responses. I gave her the benefit but with hindsight she may have been playing the long game.

To have a job where you consistently destroy must suck at your heart and soul. I say leave her to it. She doesn't warrant further comment.

Why, why, why did nobody ask her who the imaginary rock star boyfriend is when they saw her yesterday?

Aw bless her. That article was nothing you wouldn't expect was it?
You have to feel sorry for her. No one here can actually take her seriously, can they?
I think we should treat her like we would one of our kids giving us a bit of lip, and put her in time out or love bomb her,depending on your parenting style.

Stitch she doesn't have a soul! Just a black void...

Ms Jones has nailed the whole blogging nonsense.
Shudder-inducing thought it is - blogging!
Why on earth do these people think that their lives are even remotely interesting and bandwidth-worthy, is beyond me.
Fascinating phenomena, though, bloggers seem to have created a captive market - themselves!
Bloggers who read blogs.
What ever happened to privacy, pray tell.............

I like that she uses the example of a "yoga-teaching" blogger to illustrate how all these holidaying Mums are living off their husbands and their blogs. Does the writer in question offer classes for free?

Oh I have got a porridge stomach.

But then I haven't got a face like a painted skull with hair like loft insulation, so, swings and roundabouts really...

Bupcakes :o

Hi. First-time poster but long-time reader of various forums on LJ. I admit I always browse her fiction/nonsense as I enjoy reading the comments it provokes. However, after reading her latest vitriolic spewings on leaving her country manor house, I noticed the first picture featured was one of her and her husband Michael, the collie dog, sitting on a sofa. She had bare feet and I swear I could count six toes on her fight foot. Has anyone else noticed it? Anyway, I find the woman incredibly annoying with her inconsistent way of 'writing'; in the same paragraph she will state she has no friends and then go on about 'my friend so and so'. Then there's her ludicrous world of so-called cleanliness. She will bang on about using antiseptic wipes on door handles (in case any grubby, filthy broods of children have touched them), but allow her dogs to park their 'squirty bot bots' on her dining table in close proximity to where her 'friends' supposedly eat. There's no way I would have a dog's arse plonked on my table/worktops and then rush out to vacuum the patio. Mental! Oh, and what's all this cupcake garbage? We bake buns, bloody buns! Rant over.

"I noticed the first picture featured was one of her and her husband Michael, the collie dog"

Lentil soup, anyone?

arf at Bupcakes

What LJ writes is made up pish. I hope

I think she's like snuff.

A pinch of snuff irritates your membranes, you do a big sneeze and feel enlivened and refreshed; 500 words of Jiz Loans causes a sneeze-sized rage and leaves one feeling both invigorated and also reassured that there's someone out there who everyone can agree is more of a cowbag than oneself.

I she is a c word.

I was surprised aghast that she was coming to blogfest given the views MNers hold about her. Perhaps PA was too busy loving his kids to come along.

I'm immune to snuff.

Maybe I'm immune to Liz Jones as well.

WTF! I've been reading incredulous posts this morning that the Lizard has won Columnist of the Year! If re-hashing old copy and slagging people off can win awards (not to mention a six figure salary), then anyone's in with a chance. Unfortunately, on reading the posts, I found myself going on links that featured lurid photos of her. She's got a really weird fizzog and if she thinks the black, witchypoo eyeliner is alluring, she can think again. Has anyone seen Tootsie starring Dustin Hoffman? When he's transforming himself into alter ego Dorothy Michaels, he inserts a set of false dentures over his own teeth; they've got perfect, even pearlies and very pale pink gums. Look at pics of LJ's gob when she's sporting one of her rictus grins. Identical. Maybe that explains her daft lisp.

Liz Jones is a Cat wanking cunt (yessss, have been waiting to use that since the IK thread)

Well, I don't know if she's a cat wanking c**t but she's most definitely bonkers. Wait for it, the shyest woman in the world will soon be featured in a spread of 4 to 6 shots of her wearing a Little Black Dress for the upcoming festive season. Photoshopped to death, she'll be posing with her gnarled, old woman hands propped on her hips and adopting that pathetic twang-toed pose she obviously thinks makes her look girly and zany. Oh, and probably wearing those stupid Prada bondage heels that have featured in everything she's done, from her Poundland adventure to visiting WAGs in expensive, gaudy houses. I can think of another thing that the initials LBD could aptly apply to La Jones - Lying Bitch of the Decade.
