anyone read it?

Jeepers, mns getting a bash this week.

cant link or id show you. at end of peice she says were basically a bunch of strangers fuelled by boredom, envy, and and the knowledge therell be no consequences whatever bile we spew....????

i mean, yes theres a lot of trolling and abusing the talk guidelines but media coverage is not saying the good things about mn.

disappointed in VF, shes normally mostly good.

Let the slebs bash away, the site is far too popular and established to suffer, they are just looking for publicity off mn's back.

UnChartered · 09/04/2013 21:37

is that the same VF who used to front one of those 'air your dirty laundry on TV and be judged by complete strangers' type affairs?

i'm glad her keep fit regime has paid off, she's been able to jump high onto the MN bashing bandwagon Hmm

BarredfromhavingStella · 09/04/2013 21:38

Another one who's opinion is worth fuck all...maybe this is why no-one mentioned her Wink

drjohnsonscat · 09/04/2013 21:41

shame because Vanessa Feltz is actually pretty good I think - she's done lowbrow tv but she's surprisingly smart and should be able to use her eyes and brain.

But I think a lot of people think they know what they'll find here, without ever reading it.

Do you think she looked on MN today expecting to see a long thread about her article and is pissed off because there are only a few replies Grin

EggsEggSplat · 09/04/2013 21:50

I expect no one has mentioned it on here because as far as I was aware no one under the age of 75 reads the Express anyway.

usual she's kicking her cat and everything

i went to see one of her early shows being recorded once, it was actually very good

WinkyWinkola · 09/04/2013 21:53

I really like VF. She makes me laugh on her radio show. Clever, articulate, doesn't suffer fools although I wish she would be a bit harder on Boris when he's on her show.

PickledInAPearTree · 09/04/2013 21:57

I only remember her in wife swap with her husband who kept singing " heeeey what's wrong with meeeheeeheeee"

She seems ok to me though, it's just the theme of the week innit.

It's hard work being so haggard faced ugg wearing and spiteful. Phew!

KenDoddsDadsDog · 09/04/2013 21:58

When I see Vanessa Feltz, all I can think of is Marjorie Dawes in Little Britain saying her name over and over Grin

usualsuspect · 09/04/2013 22:00

I bet shes excited now more people are posting Grin

shes basically defending AH, but slebs arent the only ones that get the occasional flaming are they? some of us do too.

and the other way round, slebs also get kudos as do some of us.

i love my mn!

She's obviously seen the attention Amanda Holden is getting and wants some of that attention

PickledInAPearTree · 09/04/2013 22:01

Vanessa, I watched your chat show as a student. I loved you, and this is how you repay me.

It's like a knife deep into my heart.

UnChartered · 09/04/2013 22:02

Vanessa Feltz

Vanessa Feltz

Vanessa Feltz

think she's googling her name and finds my post Grin

usualsuspect · 09/04/2013 22:04

Hey, Vanessa Feltz, see you got a thread.

Not a very long one, mind.

usualsuspect · 09/04/2013 22:05

You would look though wouldn't you? If you wrote an article slagging a forum off, just to see what they said.

Chipstick10 · 09/04/2013 22:06

I luffs Vanessa. She's really great at putting her views across, clever, smart, interesting and very witty

UnChartered · 09/04/2013 22:06
