To think Liz Jones is a bitter and twisted old hag?

Ok. Sorry.

petallus, Am I Being Unreasonable has a question mark at the end which invites comment. You have made your points. Nobody is asking you to be vitriolic. I accept you do not agree with me and have no desire to argue the point so what is your problem?

The vitriolic comment was in response to something greatnan said merlotgran.

I don't have a problem, just interested in the discussion.

merlotgran I hadn't realised that you had apologised for the title.

I admire people who will apologise when they have second thoughts because it's not an easy thing to do.

Thank you

Ok, thread title aside, I think that the article was nasty in the extreme. I was also interested to read the twitter quote from CB that j07 posted, with regard to CB not giving Jones an interview.

The definition of HAG is old and ugly .

Liz Jones is neither.

I did not say we should be vitriolic, Petallus - only that LJ sometimes was. Please don't extrapolate from my slightest remark!

But we could then stray into the realms of what is defined as ugly! (and it may even be unrelated to physical appearance)

Tin Helmet time.

She's not exactly young and beautiful either Nonu

Extrapolate , is that not a term usually used in maths ??

Tell you what honey , she is younger than me .

Whether more attractive , the jury is still out on that one .

LOL

Extrapolate was a bit of a buzz word when I was studying/teaching psychology in that you should be careful not to do it inappropriately.

But sometimes it was appropriate.

So in this case was it appropriate or innapropriate ??

Don"t want to be a beast , but in what context ?[ps thank you for answering]

Anyway off to watch a movie ,

Sweet dreams .

I avidly read Liz Jones still in the You mag each Sunday I keep hoping for happy ending for her.

In lots of ways I agree with things she says, however she is a rather eccentric lady, not suprise her latest chap was not keen on sharing bed with a load of cats!

However it is never nice to be insulting and she is attractive lady who makes best of herself.
She obviously has some writing talents or else she is in cahoots with the Mail management team because she is always in the paper!!

She was very insulting to Clare Balding!

Only just seen your question nonu which I assume was addressed to me.

Yes of course I did think I was legitimately extrapolating from Greatnan's remark. Although I would not have used that word in this case.

I thought Greatnan was implying that since LJ was vitriolic herself it was alright for us to be vitriolic to LJ.

However, Greatnan has said I was wrong to make that assumption and she should know.

Thanx for replying Petallus .

I get it , ^I think !!

and after all it is 10to4

I read many female columnists, never felt any need to make nasty remarks about any of them. I still don't understand what LJ brings out in people. I've never read her being as nasty as some of the comments on here would suggest. She is an animal lover, a vegan, she has multiple rescued animals which seem to cost her a fortune - if she makes remarks about the CB's clothes (and she is the Fashion editor) coloured, because she actually disapproves of the horse racing industry, fair game.

Thank you, Petallus.

You're welcome

There hasn't been a lot of support for my view that LJ is a character created by Liz Jones so that she can write confessional columns without actually writing about herself and her family. If she isn't a fiction writer, she must be slightly deranged. By her own account, her husband asked her over and over again not to write about them or him. And then she wrote endlessly about not understanding why he was so detached from her. Her new boyfriend, by her own account, asked her not to write about him. And she writes about him every week. She has been so broke that her credit card was rejected and still her priority was to get her body waxed and her hair and nails done. She only buys designer clothes and accessories but she can't afford to buy food and adopts a couple more terminally ill horses. What real person would make these kinds of choices?
