So what happened during thread #11?
More of the same from GOB. Thanks to @House of Tea for the new, more accurate acronym, Grasping Old Biddy. Jo herself has admitted her handle is a misnomer as she is no longer middle-aged.

Jo Good @middleagedminx continues:

grabbin’ more gifts, freebies, comps, parcels “that just come in the post” and advertising telling her community about it​

​

shopping'. Justifies flashing off her very high-end purchases at this time of austerity as being “aspirational", claims it's good value as cost-per-wear​

​

usin’ her BBC radio show to promote “my social media”, “my vlog”, always shadily pushing listeners towards her online ads, all for more revenue. She did an online hosting gig for a company, going on to name check them on air​

​

givin’ lip service to sustainability but runs her bath with continuous hot water running through the overflow, during a hosepipe ban. But she’s not worried as it’s all paid for by the communal water and heating in her building​

​

bein’ culturally insensitive, yet again calling the late indigenous Australian singer Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu "an aborigine"​

​

bein' non-ASA compliant with her many ads. Eg: Does a paid-for promotion for an online designer clothing company, admits this verbally but does not mark the vlog title to disclose this. She thinks hiding it in the description box counts - it doesn’t. Shady.​

​

drivin’ illegally. Doing a speed awareness course costing £92 after breaking the limit on Park Lane, claims the limit is too hard to stick to at 12:15pm and was unaware of the speed limit change, 2 years after it was implemented across the City of Westminster​

​

displayin’ her cruel side. Eg reminiscing about being driven around Birmingham in a Rolls, laughing while looking at the “poor people” at the Bullring​

​

complainin’ about being exhausted due to working at the BBC 15 hours per week. Doesn’t acknowledge that her other outings - usually for reasons of freebies, attention seeking, or socialising - could be curbed if she wanted some rest, or time for yoga.​

​

tellin’ us how unconventional she is. But institutionalised Jo Good continues to make bitter and cowardly comments on-air about how she can't play the music she wants, that she can't give her opinion, that she has to follow rules​

​

usin’ “her” caretaker Sandra as vlog fodder, for dog sitting and to do tedious domestic tasks​

​

usin’ her friends. Went to a yoga retreat in Majorca, but only told Anna Webb shortly beforehand that she would be looking after Myrtle. Anna had plans to travel in the UK but obligingly took Myrtle with her​

​

losin’ cast members from the vlog. No sign of George. No longer mentions George Burton as producing, nor has he been appearing on the vlog. Tattlers suspect a falling-out​

​

readin’ out emails from listeners complimenting her, her fashion, her vlogs​

​

doin’ sad face. Filmed herself in her car as soon as she heard of the Queen’s death, while giving vlog editing instructions to Filipe, instead of rushing straight in to see her mother when the sad news broke​

​

makin’ it all about her: eg. When filming what people are wearing in the street talks about herself and turns the camera to herself​

​

bangin’ on about: being an old hippy, The Stones, “rich people”, “poor people”, working in a newsroom, being an actress, being tired​

​

modellin’ twirly 70s style on her communal roof top and corridors​

​

lettin’ her dog piss on the communal roof terrace when she’s too lazy to take it outside​

​

tryin’ to grow her subs number, over 50K now after a collab with vlogger Pretty Over Fifty​

​

thinkin’ she’s the Queen of Marylebone. She’s booked again this year to host the local Christmas evening, 3 to 8pm 10th November​

​

mispronouncin’ and misnamin’: Jerry Sadowitz became Jerry Levovitch. The Queen, “Our Majesty”. Green-feel tower. Vernicular railway. The play “Dear Evan Hanson” called simply “Evanson”. Gets certain producers’ names wrong continuously, and rudely jokes about it, using her age as an excuse​

​

makin’ pass-agg digs about Vanessa Feltz. Did not send good wishes to V on air about her leaving BBC Radio London after decades at the station, as other colleagues did​

​

not knowin’ much: Didn’t know myrtle is a plant, didn’t know what the 1922 committee when it had been in the news for weeks​

​

not trainin’ Myrtle properly, seems annoyed by the dog, but occasionally gives performative displays of affection on the vlog, usually straight after Tattle has flagged it​

​

playin’ poor, lamenting that she “won’t inherit” and is “sour grapes” about those who do. Says she controls all of her mother’s finances. Her mother and her brother still live in the Sussex family home​

​

referrin’ to New York as her spiritual home, despite having spent very little time there, mainly in Wholefoods​

​

doxxin’ herself, showing her apartment building, detailing her movements, showing her car, her numberplate (and showing a colleague’s numberplate)​

​

takin’ time off her 3-hour long BBC show when she wants to rest before doing another paid gig the next day​

​

fangirlin’/harrassin’: She has Ben Mendelsohn’s number in her phone so called him when she was on air, and promptly hung up when he answered​

​

bein’ a hypocrite: does an ad for luxury retirement flats in the wrong end of Kensington, which look just like the large luxury blocks that have been built in Marylebone, which she calls monstrosities, lived in only by "rich people". After filming at the site she was advertising, she complained she’d spent the day in “one of the most polluted parts of London”.​

​

dissin’ her paymasters: Of course the BBC as usual, but also saying chain stores like Next are spoiling the once groovy King’s Road, despite having done promotions for Next beauty and fashion​

​

insultin’ other nationalities: Americans have rough voices like hers because they live in air-conditioning​

​

tryin’ to turn Dave the Cabbie from the vlog into a “thing” - she got him on the radio but he’s geeky and boring and hard to understand. How will he take to being dropped?​

​

lyin’: On the radio show she said that has the tendency to embellish and exaggerate but then straight-up says that she often lies, admitting that she lies so often she ends up believing herself. Such a red flag for being a narc but she seemed to think it was hilarious​

Wow, that’s quite the summary. GOB can use that in place of a diary! Thanks for the new thread!

 

[Scarlett O' Hara]

Fabulous summary #VeeJayBee

 

[VeeJayBee]

Wow, that’s quite the summary. GOB can use that in place of a diary! Thanks for the new thread!

I'm actually pitchin' for the gig to ghost-write her memoir!

ETA Last night's Chewin the Fat, Russ Kane namechecked @middleagedminx, later saying says he saw GOB using her oven on her vlog. The discussion topic was being ghosted, he said GOB never replies to texts, she says she's too busy to have the time necessary to maintain friendships. She goes back to the vlog topic, saying she films her life etc, but fell out with a friend after she revealed where the friend lived. The friend had agreed to be on the vlog when she came up to London from the South Coast but GOB revealed where she came from. GOB's take is that "she's not a household name. so no one will want to google map her, what on earth is her problem". Can any Tattlers think who it might be?

 

[VeeJayBee]

Another Chewin' topic was customer's rudeness to service staff. All agreed that it was unforgivable, GOB adding that she finds it very telling about someone's character when they act rudely in that way.

We haven't forgotten the incident at her Mini garage when, during Tier 3 Covid restrictions, she turned up and threw a strop that her car wouldn't be done immediately, despite not booking the while-you-wait service. She called the CSA at the garage "the girl" and, after she got the manager involved and he rushed her car through, she whinged that she had to sit outside on a fence in the cold - remember no waiting rooms were allowed in any businesses still able to operate during Tier 3. She must've realised her behaviour would look bad if anyone had noticed (maybe other customers witnessed it) so, worried about backlash, she rushed in to her (then) afternoon show and spent the first 15 minutes of the show telling the story trying to make excuses for her entitled and arrogant behaviour.

 

[VeeJayBee]

Is GOB (or one of her producers!) trollin' us?

Last night's radio rewind was a clip from 1980 of (fellow dingy W1 flat dweller) Kenneth Williams doing a local tour, including the Langham Hotel.

We feel seen!

Now that Babs Windsor and Kenneth have carried on into the sky, she can claim to be The Face of Marylebone. I wonder if she ever met Babs? She would have loved to have pushed into this little conflab in Marylebone High Street. Shift over Dale, room for a little one Scott. Now Babs, did you ever see my seminal acting moment as Blonde no 2 in that brief nightclub scene in Only Fools?

I will have to look back but might be the friend whose birthday she drove to and made a big thing about not getting the train and I think the friend is married and Jo was throwing shade at friend for having a husband. Although I might be getting my vlogs mixed up.

The birthday present was a gardening book from the posh bookshop.

Didn’t somebody meet her for a drink recently at a pub near where GOB used to live? Sitting outside the pub? She said they knew each other for a million years.

I found this one, haven’t rewatched it, but it might be her?

I think it’s this one
around 18 minutes in, she is outside the house of her casting director friend. You can see the house but I can’t think how anyone would recognise it. Although earlier in the vlog she mentions the location.

According to @VeeJayBee post, the friend came up to London from the South Coast. So, not sure that one is right.

I don't think it's that friend, in the vlog GOB meets Elizabeth aka Flea, who she went to school with in Horsham. She now lives in Devon but they met in Charlwood, Sussex when she went to visit family.

She's on air talking about her new presenter photo on BBC Sounds.
Smug facing in her asylum escape nightie and rattley old ring.

 

[Scarlett O' Hara]

I don't like that photo at all, in fact I think it does her a disservice. It's horrible. The head cocked to the side, weird pout, hands on hip, other hand, looking unnaturally squat and large with that horrendous ring. As for the dress....words fail me.

Surely there must have been better images, if this is the best, God only knows what the others looked like.

 

[VeeJayBee]

Forgot to mention that on Tuesday's show she was talking about a favourite film scene, from Local Hero. I didn't recognise anything she was describing, then realised she was talking about Withnail and I

 

[House of Tea]

That photo looks unprofessional. It’s the dress.

The dress is too big. It's a stretch fabric but is hanging loose.

 

[House of Tea]

It does look like a nightie. She would do better with a black polo neck, something classic. It is not a photo that is going to age well…a bit like GOB herself.

 

[LucyEyelesbarrow]

I think it looks better than her previous photo, though.

 

[EllaMc]

“Jo‘s photo as “Groovy Chick with co-ordinating flared sleeves and flared nostrils” reminds me of old 70’s catalogue pics like this……

“Jo‘s photo as “Groovy Chick with co-ordinating flared sleeves and flared nostrils” reminds me of old 70’s catalogue pics like this……

Her fashion choices reflect when she was in her 20s. She is harking back to that ime.
