It'll be his mum

'I think you're all being very unfair'

margoandjerry · 13/07/2007 16:57

OK how about this for a lineup:

Aitch vs JR's mum

William Leith vs Euan Ferguson

Julie Burchill vs Lucy Mangan

And me in a full on bitchfight with Christa d'Souza, Mimi Spencer and Kathryn Flett (oh and Liz Jones for good measure but she only weighs 20kilos and is too weak to fight due to her permanent neurosis so she won't be too much trouble...)

All bare-knuckle fighting and hair-pulling.

ProjectSeverus · 13/07/2007 16:57

Come along Jon they are Not Nice At All.

EffiePerine · 13/07/2007 16:57

I'll take on Rebecca Tyrrell if she's 'ard enough

ProjectSeverus · 13/07/2007 16:58

nice line up.

You could put Liz Jones with a "oh, is that a grey hair I see" You wouldn't be able to get in her way with a mirror in the room.

Ack, lots of journalists on the site - some really fairly famous. The vitriol does get going sometimes, but to be fair, most newspaper columns are fairly vitriolic too.

aloha · 13/07/2007 17:02

This is extremely odd!

ruty · 13/07/2007 17:02

Now Liz Jones' husband. He is annoying. He doesn't have a column in the Weekend yet does he?

ProjectSeverus · 13/07/2007 17:03

isn't he an ex-husband? Now he has loafed around in her flat writing his book?

ruty · 13/07/2007 17:05

i don't know. He wrote a toe curling account of his manly prowess in bed and how it convinced her to be an obedient wife, despite his infidelities. Yaaawwwn.

hoxtonchick · 13/07/2007 17:07

ewwwwwwww ruty (link?) .

bugger can't find it. But it's true! Hello Mr Aitch's Dad. [cowers in shadow]

Here it is . but probably divorced since then thank god. Look at the 'Who's the boss?' whilst having sex. '' 'you are', she breathed...''

here I mean

ProjectSeverus · 13/07/2007 17:47

oh dear god Ruty i was just sick in my mouth.

mozhe · 13/07/2007 17:53

Love, love, love Jon Ronson....Mrs J R very lucky imo.....you lot are horrid
Nirpal Dharliwal on the other hand is the subject of many of my violent fantasies....just don't get me started on him.......

FirenzeandZooey · 13/07/2007 18:04

LOLOL at all this but I DO feel sorry for JR - he hasn't done anything EVIL or WRONG (except for annoying Aitch for 20 years of course)

I know you all think you would just laugh it off, but I have read nasty unfair stuff about me on the internet and it really is unpleasant and makes you want to do irrational things. In my case I got over it, but then I haven't made a career out of being paranoid and angsty.

mozhe · 13/07/2007 18:08

No, he is gorgeous......how can he annoy anyone ?
I was thinking about writting to him and offering favourable rates on therapy...but thought that might be a bit unprofessional iyswim....

aloha · 13/07/2007 18:09

I like Mrs Ronson! The bit of her post 'are you all in institutions?' has been making me giggle a lot, and taking my mind off the horror that is having a spray tan (I am worryingly orange, and amusing dh a lot).
I vote for her to stay in the vipers' nest.
(shhh....I like Mr Ronson too...I have a soft spot for whiney neurotic introspection)

aloha · 13/07/2007 18:10

And I'm 100% with Mohze on Noxious Nirpal. You take his head, I'll take his feet!

ProjectSeverus · 13/07/2007 18:17

have no idea who Jon Ronson is. Mrs Ronson funny. Unless of course it is actually Mr Ronson in a wig in which case I hope she has words with him.

Not quite as Dignified as Linda McCartneys response though was it, really.

lapsedrunner · 13/07/2007 18:18

Who is he???
