Yeah I remember the early posts about Nirpal too. The column was also interspersed with comments about other writers, animals etc. There wasn’t so much negative stuff about Mums or her family? I thought she was self absorbed but sometimes funny. Now I’d say she’s mentally unstable and her Narcissism has heightened. I also think she has an alcohol dependency, today’s column was incoherent in places.was reading over Liz's column when it first started in the Guardian 20 years ago.
She does have a drink problem although she wavers on whether she currently has it or it was miraculously cured on a spa holiday LOLYeah I remember the early posts about Nirpal too.

Like a shit version of Fight Club?I think Nige from Dorset is Liz
It's been going on a while, I think it's a combination of feeling like she has been somehow cheated (she doesn't really like men nor children but all her sisters and friends were married with kids so she wants them too) and resenting her staff at Marie Claire for taking maternity leave, which she says "ruined the business" and seems to be part of her excuse for declining sales when she was EditorDid the attack on mums start after the mumsnet partydrugsgate thread?
Nige from Dorset has to be Nic. If Liz's mum were still alive I'd have to say it was her mum, or someone she's asked/ paid/ begged to say nice things about her and make her sound appealingLike a shit version of Fight Club?
She was definitely anti mums before Mumsnet drugsgate. I'm sure David's friends massively disliked her in no small part because of her vile opinions in her column.Did the attack on mums start after the mumsnet partydrugsgate thread?
Now that is a column I would read! I think Liz is insanely jealous because Nic has a boyfriend.I hope that Nic is secretly plotting to have her own newspaper column at a rival paper.
This is what I don‘t understand. Liz has had her hair and makeup done professionally loads of times, and she still can’t do her own makeup properly. She seems to do her eyeliner with a sharpie pen. If she had her hair cut shorter and a few lowlights in it, she would look ten years younger without having to resort to facelifts. I don’t actually think she is very bright.She of all people should know that your skin tone changes as you get older, so dying your hair a darker colour is never going to look good. She would soon take the piss if it was a man dying his hair the colour of what it used to be when he was younger. Imagine if her David did that? She would be all over him and the poor sod would never hear the end of it.
She is so ignorant that she actually believes the the dogs know they’ve done something wrong. They don’t. They are animals, not children!This is the description of the cat mauling of Sweetie.. it is disgusting reading and abject cruelty of animals. She still has some of those dogs? Mr Doe has clearly read these kind of articles about her history with rescues.
Liz Jones's Diary: In which there's another family crisis
This week's disaster? I'd left the house for minutes and my sheepdogs had attacked my cat Sweetie. There was blood everywhere and her left back leg had no fur. I had to get her to a vet - quicklywww.dailymail.co.uk

She also wrote that she not invited him so he could hold some of the dog leads. Vile woman!I’m trying to get my mind round the fact that she put that taster chapter out there, then asked him to come for a ‘Spa Cottage’ break at New Years?Ok.. it’s fiction but it’s also a thinly veiled dig at his life and how repulsive she finds him physically. She must have known he’d read it?? He’s far from blameless in the whole sordid co-dependent mess I agree but it’s so envious, threatening bile.Surely now their relationship is kaput!

It’s my opinion that David continued the relationship for the fringe benefits, nice hotels, and presents? There are at least two versions of their ‘first meeting’after decades. One in 2005( see Tattle bio)and one in 2013. In the first he’s firmly attached to another woman and can barely remember Liz? By 2013 he’s much more receptive because he’s single and on his uppers financially? LJ claims his very elderly mother spoke with her and alerted her to David’s plight… highly unlikely. She only met his parents in 2014 by which time they were 93. They didn’t hit it off at all…She also wrote that she not invited him so he could hold some of the dog leads. Vile woman!
I doubt any man would even know, or care!
Yeah that’s true. Plus Nirpal thought she was only six years older not sixteen! She was still technically married to him when she met with David in 2005 apparently.They've got one key difference though: David was old enough and experienced enough to know better (and at that, he had more going financially for him than Nirpal did)
Just flagging this as I think it should be in the wiki - it’s such a blatant provable lie. I’ll see if I can find the deets…She lied about how she reconnected with David too. She wrote an article about having a date with him, then a couple of years later She pretended he’d just got in touch again and they hadn’t seen each other since being neighbours.
The original article was removed by the Mail but was cut and pasted and posted on one of the DS threads.
thanks! I am still amazed that she has managed to hide this. Or perhaps the lie was the original article?Beyond parody eh?.. It’s Nordic who deserves credit for finding that 2005 ‘Alternative’ narrative though ,not me. Maybe ‘The Tortoise’ will give us the answers!
I did wonder that too… but there are aspects that seem truthful, he has girlfriend, doesn’t remember her, can only place her through friend? 8 years later, he’s far more needy. I do believe she kept close tabs on him and pounced!thanks! I am still amazed that she has managed to hide this. Or perhaps the lie was the original article?
Considering I mentioned in my last post that Liz doesn't seem to understand the internet of today, in terms of being able to dig up everything...Nooo on the contrary, she was the first blackberry owner in London...yeah and they're also obsolete these days.pioneer in IT
