Liz Jones #5 The podcast's an unmitigated disaster, about time the Diary was put out to pasture

[WickedThread]

Old Juggo must be past retirement now, surely? Why in God's name do they keep the withered old drab on? They could employ a younger, talented writer and put her out to pasture.

Knowing them, it’ll just be Liz Mk2, or default to the usual middle-aged horrors that spread their unpleasantness all over the place (which is saying somethin, since it is the Daily Hate Mail).

 

[coconochanel]

I sometimes read her column and think 'is this for real?' I'm surprised she could keep a man she is such a moaning misery.

 

[Mediastar]

She's flippin' everywhere at the moment! Prostituting herself to pay for the Annexe?

She's 66 this year... they have to bin her soon@

 

[Belgian Bun]

So is she suggesting that she has tried to cut Nic's wages as she has less to do because the died!

I can definitely see that making sense in her crispy black head. This seems directly at odds with 'why are people horrible to me, I'm so generous'.

 

[Blurp]

I recall at one home she lived in she ripped out the kitchen and didn't have one for a long time. What was that about?

Probably because it was 'common', having come from B&Q or IKEA rather than some posh place.

 

[Mediastar]

Let's not forget when the hovel went up for sale in Easby she wanted payment for the fabulous kitchen and roll top bath or she was going to take them with her......but that's ok they're not essential like the bloody wall lights

Let's not also forget the parlous and grubby state in which she abandoned Lawn House...

 

[Mediastar]

I wonder if the church could suspend her access across their property if she's a pain as usual?

The Parish Council can be a force to be reckoned with...

 

[Kiwigirl]

I agree the place is cute, but if she has lots of animals it may not be very practical. I’m really surprised though that she has managed to acquire a mortgage at her age with little income and no equity?
Bet it’s expensive to heat in Winter?

 

[SamBamford]

She claims to work nearly all the hours of the day so how has she now got time for an allotment as well as the plans for the house. She takes one dog with her so supposedly leaves the rest at the annex, even can't she cope with the unruly pack all at once.

 

[Cowpat]

So is she suggesting that she has tried to cut Nic's wages as she has less to do because the died!

 

[House of Tea]

I don’t believe anyone is as nasty as she makes herself out to be. She must be paid an awful amount to shove such bitter content out into the world. It must make her life difficult.

 

[House of Tea]

So she is struggling to raise her deposit, but she has obtained a mortgage?

 

[Jumbojet1251]

Look at all the love that pours from her eyes. A beauty.

 

[witchofwestbyfleet]

Nic has been back on social media (sporadically), has been sharing Liz's articles and still has Liz's website in her bio. So I think she probably still works for Liz - but Liz did suggest they had an argument late last year and it looks like Nic hasn't been around so much/is working fewer hours because of her health problems

 

[Mediastar]

She's just posted on Twitter, herself and one of the dogs, walking passed the community garden, with the caption 'keys to my own front door' opens up to stone steps.

 

[WickedThread]

The eejit that doesn’t have any friends, family or a pot to piss in wants a fucking Spitfire fly-by? For whom to watch, exactly? The terrified “quintessential“ woodpigeons?

Now excuse me while I Google how to ”divert” a plane from Cuba to Kerala.

 

[shushablay]

did anyone read the steve harley piece, I didn't as there is no way I'm paying for that. Did she tell the same untrue story that her brother was in cockney rebel.

 

[dee_mc]

I recall at one home she lived in she ripped out the kitchen and didn't have one for a long time. What was that about?

She thinks she's Carrie "I use the oven as shoe storage" Bradshaw. She'd like people to think she has no use for a kitchen.
Is whatshername, the lowly assistant moving with her or what's the story there?

 

[Geranium]

I Hope this miserable woman does not try to capitalise on poor Catherine’s cancer diagnosis after all the crap she’s written recently!

 

[Blurp]

Haundless is a fabulous word is it Scottish?

Yes, strict translation is 'handless', absolutely incompetent at practical stuff.

Her loo seat broke and she tried fixing it with glue. I was a student in the city at the time so I went round and fitted a new wooden one for her. The amazement that a young woman could do such a thing!
